Privacy policy

This policy explains how Blue Pentagon Consulting (Pty) Ltd collects and uses personal information. We are the responsible party under the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).

What we collect on this website

If you complete the enquiry form on this site, we collect your first name, surname, work email, organisation, role and the topic you choose, plus your contact number and message if you provide them. We use that information only to reply to your enquiry and to keep a record of our correspondence. We do not sell it and we do not use it for unrelated marketing.

This website is hosted by Cloudflare. Enquiries are delivered to our inbox by email through Resend, which processes them on our behalf and may do so outside South Africa. The website itself does not store your enquiry.

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to record basic visit statistics, such as the pages viewed and an approximate location. It does not use cookies and does not identify individual visitors. This helps us understand which pages are useful.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry records for as long as we reasonably need them to answer you and to meet our record keeping obligations, and then delete them.

Your rights

Under POPIA you may ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, and object to our use of it. Write to [email protected] and we will respond. You may also complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa.

YouTube API Services

We use an internal publishing tool that connects to our own YouTube channel through YouTube API Services. In using it we are bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's handling of data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

The tool accesses only data that belongs to our own channel: it uploads and manages our videos and reads our channel's analytics. The sign-in tokens and channel figures it holds are stored on our own equipment, are shared with no one other than Google, and are deleted when the tool is retired. It collects no personal information about anyone else and holds no data about visitors to this website.

We can revoke the tool's access to our Google account at any time at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.
