To ensure that you are informed, we have created this privacy policy, which contains several information regarding your personal information. The POPI Act regulates personal information, which means any information that relates to a specific person. The law notes that this isn't limited to a "natural person" (that is, a human being) but also a "juristic person" which means an independent legal entity such as a company. The law gives a non-exhaustive list of examples of personal information. The law applies to any data processor that is legally based in South Africa, which includes us.

Lawful Processing
The POPI Act is based around meeting eight conditions to make processing of your information lawful. We'll run down the key points here and then cover what this means in detail below:

Lawful Processing - Accountability
We are to ensure that the conditions are complied with at the time of the determination of the purpose and means of the processing and during the processing itself. We must also appoint an information officer who will be responsible for overseeing compliance with the provisions of POPI.

Lawful Processing - Processing
Processing of personal information must be limited to lawful processing in a reasonable manner that does not infringe the privacy of the employee, the parent or the minor. The purpose of processing must be adequate, relevant and not excessive and with the consent of the subject, which consent may under certain circumstances be withdrawn. Processing is limited amongst others to protect or pursue legitimate interests or is necessary for the proper performance of a public law duty of an employer in the public service. Personal information must be obtained directly from the you unless the information is derived from a public record or you have consented to the use of another source or has made the information public on for instance social media. The processing limitation is especially relevant to the verification of information furnished by you when only relevant and adequate information should be sought and verified.For example, an employer is permitted to require a prospective employee to provide proof of qualification and if necessary, verify the qualification with the relevant institution but the employer will not be entitled to anything more than confirmation.

Lawful Processing - Purpose Specification
When collecting personal information it must be for a specific, explicitly defined and lawful purpose related to a function or activity of Kevtronics. We must inform you of the purpose.Where an employer collects information pertaining to an employee’s health as part of an incapacity enquiry as envisaged in Schedule 8 of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (LRA), the employer cannot use said information for any other purpose except that for which it was collected. As such, the employer cannot process or disclose the information except with the consent of the employee or as required by law. Without the consent of the subject, we may only retain records of personal information for as long as it is necessary to achieve the specific purpose for which the information was collected. We must however comply with statutory provisions prescribing retention periods such as records for tax compliance and in terms of employment legislation.The destruction of records must be final and, in a manner, that the records cannot be reconstructed, or the information re-identified.

Lawful Processing - Further Processing
We may, with your consent, put personal information to further use. In the absence of specific consent for the further use, we may use the personal information if it is compatible with or in accordance with the purpose for which it was collected in the first place. We must comply with the test for compatibility.

Lawful Processing - Information Quality
We must ensure that the personal information is complete, accurate, not misleading and updated where necessary. We must take reasonably practical steps to ensure that personal information on record is complete, accurate, not misleading and updated where necessary. We must always have regard to the purpose for which the information was collected. Special care is required where information is collected from a source other than you personally. We must ensure that the information collected from you is complete, accurate and continually updated where necessary. This means that we should verify the information received through documentary proof, collected with your consent.

Lawful Processing - Openness
In collecting information, we must take reasonably practical steps to ensure that you are aware of the information collected and the source of the information, the name and address of the responsible party, the purpose for which it is collected, whether the you are obliged to supply the information and what law if any prescribes the disclosure of the information to us.
