Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how our network of legal and financial websites collects, processes, uses, and shares your personal information. This policy applies to the following integrated platforms (collectively referred to as "the Network", "we", "us", or "our"):

• capetownlawyer.co.za
• estateduty.co.za
• propertytransfercosts.com
• transfermyproperty.co.za

By using any of our calculators, lead generation tools, or submitting your details on any of these websites, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

When you interact with our Network, we collect the following types of information:

• Information you provide directly: Email addresses, names, contact numbers, and the specific financial figures you enter into our tools (e.g., property purchase prices, bond amounts, estate asset values, and liabilities).
• Automated information: IP addresses, browser types, device information, and data regarding how you navigate and interact with our tools across all Network domains.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data broadly to operate our business, improve our services, and generate revenue. Specifically, we use your information to:

• Deliver the PDF reports, legal contracts (such as Offers to Purchase), and calculations you request.
• Communicate with you regarding your calculation - including automated follow-up emails highlighting potential liquidity shortfalls, transfer cost deadlines, or financial risks.
• Cross-promote services, tools, and content seamlessly across capetownlawyer.co.za, estateduty.co.za, propertytransfercosts.com, and transfermyproperty.co.za.
• Analyse user behaviour to optimise our website design, calculator algorithms, and marketing campaigns.
• Send you promotional materials, newsletters, and targeted advertisements relevant to South African property and estate law.

4. Sharing Your Information (Lead Generation)

To provide you with practical solutions, we actively share the data you submit with trusted third-party professionals. By using our Network, you explicitly consent to us sharing your contact details and financial estimates with:

• Conveyancers and property law attorneys who can facilitate property transfers and bond registrations.
• Independent fiduciaries, attorneys, and executors who can assist with deceased estate administration.
• Sworn appraisers and property valuation experts.
• Financial institutions or bridging finance providers who offer solutions for property transfer delays or estate cash shortfalls.

These third parties may contact you directly to offer their professional services. We may receive a lead generation fee or commission for facilitating these introductions.

5. Data Retention and Security

We store your personal data centrally in our secure databases for as long as it is useful for our commercial and marketing purposes, or as required by South African law. While we implement standard security measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, no internet transmission is entirely secure.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to monitor site traffic, track user sessions, and personalise your experience across our entire Network of sites. You can configure your browser to decline cookies, though this may limit the functionality of our interactive calculators and document generators.

7. Your Rights Under POPIA

Under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), you have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Request the correction or deletion of your data.
• Object to the processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, or to opt out of future communications, please reply directly to any email you receive from us or contact our data privacy officer at [Insert Contact Email].

8. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our business practices or legal obligations. We will post the revised policy on this page, and your continued use of any site within our Network constitutes acceptance of those changes.
