How we secure Personal Information
We are committed to protecting your personal information from accidental or unlawful destruction, damage, loss, alteration, unauthorised access or disclosure by using reasonable, appropriate, physical, administrative and technical safeguards and contractually requiring that third parties to whom we disclose your personal information do the same.
In all circumstances the information is held by us on our secure systems. We take all reasonable and appropriate technical and organisational steps to ensure that your personal information is kept secure and is protected against unauthorised or unlawful processing, misuse, unauthorised disclosure, loss, interference, destruction or damage, alteration, disclosure or access.
Our security systems are in line with industry standards and we monitor developments to ensure that our security systems evolve, as required. We also test our systems regularly.
Personal information is destroyed or anonymised when no longer needed or when we are no longer required by law to retain it (whichever is the later).
We will promptly notify you if we become aware of any unauthorised use, disclosure or processing of your personal information.
We may store your personal information with the web-hosting service provider appointed by us from time to time. The storage may be in South Africa or in another country.
Where storage is in another country, your personal information will be stored in a jurisdiction that has equivalent, or better, data protection legislation than South Africa or with a service provider which is subject to an agreement requiring it to observe data protection requirements equivalent to or better than those applicable in South Africa.
Notwithstanding the above, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please do not send us sensitive information through email. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is not secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), you must immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us at info@ticketpro.co.za.
How long do we keep Personal Information?
We will retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected unless a longer retention period is required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect our assets, or enforce agreements. The criteria we use to determine retention periods include whether:
We are under a legal, contractual or other obligation to retain personal information, or as part of an investigation or for litigation purposes;
Personal information is needed to maintain accurate business and financial records;
There are automated means to enable you to access and delete your personal information at any time;
You have consented to us retaining your personal information for a longer retention period, in which case, we will retain personal information in line with your consent.
We will continue to treat your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice so long as we retain it.
When will we use Personal Information to make automated decisions?
An automated decision is made when Personal Information is analysed to make a decision without human intervention in that decision making process.
We may use your Personal Information to make an automated decision as allowed by the law.
You have a right to query any such decisions made and we will provide reasons for the decisions as far as reasonably possible.
Transfer of Personal Information to other countries
We will only transfer your Personal Information to third parties in another country in any one or more of the following circumstances:
where your Personal Information will be adequately protected under the other country’s laws or an agreement with the third-party recipient
where the transfer is necessary to enter into or perform under a contract with you, or a contract with a third party that is in your interest;
where you have consented to the transfer; and/or
where it is not reasonably practical to obtain your consent, the transfer is in your interest.
This transfer will happen within the requirements and safeguards of the law.
Where possible, the party processing your Personal Information in the other country will agree to apply the same level of protection as available by law in South Africa or if the other country’s laws provide better protection the other country’s laws would be agreed to and applied.
