Privacy Policy

FuturisTech™ is a technology and web solutions brand operated by ZZSD Pty Ltd in South Africa. References in this Privacy Policy to “FuturisTech™”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to ZZSD Pty Ltd when operating and providing services under the FuturisTech™ brand.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose and protect personal information when you use our website, submit a project enquiry, communicate with us or engage with us regarding our services.

The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with FuturisTech™ and may include:

• Your name and contact information.
• Your email address and telephone or WhatsApp number.
• Your business or organisation name.
• Information contained in a project enquiry, consultation request or Project Discovery Form.
• Information about an existing website, digital platform or technology environment relevant to a proposed project.
• Project requirements, objectives, timelines and other information you voluntarily provide.
• Commercial and administrative information required when you become a client.
• Technical information reasonably generated when you access or interact with our website and systems.

We aim to collect only information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant interaction, service or legitimate business purpose.

When you submit a Project Enquiry through the FuturisTech™ website, the information you provide is used to review your enquiry, understand your initial requirements and contact you regarding the potential project.

If an enquiry progresses, we may subsequently provide our Project Discovery Form or request further information needed to understand the proposed scope, technical requirements, commercial requirements and delivery expectations.

Submitting an enquiry or completing discovery does not by itself create a contractual relationship or obligation for either party to proceed.

We may process personal information to:

• Receive, review and respond to project enquiries.
• Communicate with prospective and existing clients.
• Assess requirements and prepare proposals, quotations, scopes of work and related commercial documentation.
• Provide, administer, support and maintain contracted services.
• Manage client, project, billing and operational records.
• Protect our website, systems, clients and business from abuse, fraud, security threats and unauthorised activity.
• Meet applicable legal, regulatory, accounting and contractual obligations.
• Establish, exercise or defend legal rights where reasonably necessary.

ZZSD Pty Ltd seeks to process personal information in accordance with applicable South African data protection requirements, including the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (“POPIA”), where POPIA applies.

Personal information is processed for appropriate, specified purposes and should not be retained for longer than reasonably necessary or legally required for those purposes.

We do not sell personal information.

Personal information may be disclosed to service providers, infrastructure providers, professional advisers, payment providers or other parties where reasonably necessary to operate FuturisTech™, provide contracted services, protect our systems, comply with law or fulfil legitimate business and contractual requirements.

Where third parties process information on our behalf, we seek to use appropriate providers and safeguards having regard to the nature of the information and processing.

Some technology, hosting, infrastructure or service providers used in operating FuturisTech™ may process or store information outside South Africa.

Where personal information is transferred across borders, we seek to handle such transfers in accordance with applicable legal requirements and appropriate safeguards.

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

No internet transmission, website or information system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore continuously consider security as part of the design, operation and maintenance of our systems.

Personal information is retained for periods reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including client engagement, service delivery, operational administration, security, dispute management and applicable legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.

Information that is no longer reasonably required will be deleted, destroyed, de-identified or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements and our data lifecycle processes.

Subject to applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information held about you, including rights to request access to or correction of personal information and, in appropriate circumstances, to object to certain processing or request deletion or restriction.

Some requests may be subject to legal limitations, verification requirements or circumstances in which we are required or permitted to retain information.

The FuturisTech™ website may use technologies that are necessary for security, website functionality, performance and operation.

If optional analytics, advertising or other non-essential tracking technologies are introduced, the applicable privacy and consent mechanisms will be implemented before those technologies are activated where required.

Our website or services may contain links to or integrate with third-party websites and services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies and are not controlled by this Privacy Policy.

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, processing activities or applicable requirements change. The current version will be made available through the FuturisTech™ website.
