Gazole Fleet is fully compliant with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA). Here's exactly what that means for you.
The Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) is South Africa's primary data protection legislation. It regulates how organisations collect, store, use, and share personal information about South African citizens and residents.
POPIA came into full effect on 1 July 2021. It applies to any organisation that processes personal information about people in South Africa, including Gazole (Pty) Ltd.
We take data protection seriously. Here is what we commit to as your fleet management provider:
We only collect information that is necessary to provide our fleet management services.
All personal data is stored on servers located within South Africa.
We never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third-party marketers.
In the unlikely event of a breach, we will notify you and the Information Regulator within 72 hours.
POPIA sets out eight conditions that must be met when processing personal information. Here is how Gazole Fleet satisfies each one:
Gazole (Pty) Ltd has appointed an Information Officer who is responsible for ensuring our compliance with POPIA. Contact: support@gazole.co.za
We process personal information only for the specific, lawful purpose of providing fleet management services. We collect only what we need and nothing more.
Personal information is collected for clearly defined, specific purposes. We inform you of these purposes at the point of collection and do not use data for any other purpose without your consent.
Any further processing of your information is compatible with the original purpose. We do not repurpose your data without notifying you and obtaining fresh consent where required.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is complete, accurate, not misleading, and kept up to date. You may update your information at any time through your account settings.
We maintain a PAIA Manual and document all processing activities. Our Privacy Policy discloses what information we collect, why, and how it is used. This page forms part of that openness obligation.
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, damage, or unauthorised access. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256).
You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal information. We will respond to all such requests within 30 days.
Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you.
Request that inaccurate or outdated information be corrected or deleted.
Object to the processing of your personal information at any time.
Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator if you believe your rights have been violated.
We employ industry-standard security practices to protect your data:
