Submission of Personal Information on behalf of another: If you provide information on behalf of someone else, then it is your responsibility to obtain the necessary consent from the person/ User before making the Personal Information available to us. On receipt of Personal Information, we assume that the necessary consent has been obtained and will process the Personal Information as per your instructions. By submitting such Personal Information on behalf of another person/ User, you indemnify us against any Third-Party claim, where such Third-Party claim relates to Personal Information that has been processed without the necessary consent or other available exception allowed by law.

Disclosures of Personal Information

We may share Personal Information with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table above.
1. Internal Third-Parties as set out in the Definitions. Where we share Personal Information to our group (affiliates, collaborating companies/ partners/ agents/ franchisees), we ensure your Personal Information is protected by requiring all our collaborating companies to follow this Policy when processing your Personal Information.
2. External Third-Parties as set out in the Definitions.
We require all Third-Parties to respect the security of your Personal Information and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow Third-Party organisations or persons to use your Personal Information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your Personal Information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

International transfers

Some of our External Third-Parties may be based outside the Republic so their processing of your Personal Information could involve a transfer of data outside South Africa.
Whenever we transfer your Personal Information out of the country, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
1. We will only transfer your Personal Information to countries that have appropriate data protection and privacy legislation to protect your Personal Information.
2. Where we use certain service providers, we conclude an agreement with them to confirm that your Personal Information is confidential, they can only process on our instructions and that they should establish and maintain appropriate technological and organisational measurements to protect your Personal Information.
3. Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide protection to personal information similar to the conditions under the POPI Act, which we believe are good principles to ensure compliance.
By submitting your Personal Information to us you consent to the transfer of your Personal Information outside the borders of South Africa (when required).

Data security

We have put in place appropriate technological and organisational measures to prevent Personal Information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to Personal Information to those persons and other third-parties who have a legitimate need to know. They will only process Personal Information on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
Online Registered users: You agree that, once the correct username and password relating to your account have been entered, irrespective of whether the use of the username and password is unauthorised or fraudulent, you will be liable for payment of such order, save where you have cancelled the order in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. You agree to notify us, with an email to sales@computermania.co.za, immediately upon becoming aware of or reasonably suspecting any unauthorised access to or use of your username or password and to take steps to mitigate any resultant loss or harm.

Data retention

How long will we use your Personal Information for?

We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal or regulatory requirements. We may retain your Personal Information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or legal process.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see your legal rights below for further information.
In some circumstances we will anonymise your Personal Information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Social Media

Our website(s) or Services may, in certain circumstances, provide you with social plug-ins from various social media networks. If you choose to interact with a social network such as Facebook, Instagram or Twitter (for example by registering an account, view a YouTube video on our website(s) or click on the links from our website), your activity on our website(s) will also be made available to that social network. This is necessary for the performance of your contract with us which allows you to interact with a social network. If you are logged in on one of these social networks during your visit to our website(s) or are interacting with one of the social plug-ins, the social network might add this information to your respective profile on this network based on your privacy settings. If you would like to prevent this type of information transfer, please log out of your social network account before you enter our website(s), or change the necessary privacy settings, where possible.
Communication, engagement and actions taken through external social media networks that we participate in are custom to the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policies held with each social media platform respectively.
You are advised to use social media networks wisely and communicate/ engage with them with due care and caution in regard to their own privacy policies (if any). PLEASE NOTE: WE WILL NEVER ASK FOR PERSONAL OR SENSITIVE INFORMATION THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKS AND ENCOURAGE USERS, WISHING TO DISCUSS SENSITIVE DETAILS OR TO RESOLVE ISSUES/ CONCERNS, TO CONTACT US THROUGH PRIMARY COMMUNICATION CHANNELS SUCH AS BY TELEPHONE OR EMAIL.
Our social media network page(s) may share web links to relevant web pages. By default, some social media platforms shorten lengthy URL's. You are advised to exercise caution and due care before clicking on any shortened URL's published on social media platforms by this website. Despite our best efforts to ensure that only genuine URL's are published, many social media platforms are prone to spam and hacking and therefore our website and its owners cannot be held liable for any damages or implications caused by visiting any shortened links.

Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your Personal Information:
1. Request for Access to Personal Information (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). There may be a fee associated with this request – see b) below. This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
2. Request Correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
3. Request erasure of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see iv) below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. Take Note: Erasure of your Personal Information shall further not limit our rights in terms of Aggregate Data and Pattern Data.
4. Object to processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a Third-Party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground, as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
5. Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain Services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
6. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at the details mentioned 1) c) above.
Fee required: Apart from any prescribed fees under any applicable data protection legislation, you will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you: We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond: We try to respond to all legitimate requests within 30 (thirty) days. Occasionally it could take us longer than 30 (thirty) days if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
