Effective Date: 14 June 2026

Company: Boogal Productions

Introduction
At Boogal Productions, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your data when you visit our website, contact us, or engage our services.

By using our website or submitting your information to us, you consent to the practices described below.

What Personal Information We Collect
We collect personal information only when necessary to deliver our services or respond to your inquiries. This may include:

Contact Details: Name, email address, phone number, physical address (for invoicing or service delivery).
Business Information: Company name, registration number (CIPC), industry sector, size (SME), and business objectives.
Service-Specific Data: Documents related to compliance (e.g., employment contracts, B-BBEE affidavits, POPIA registers), brand assets (logos, tone-of-voice guidelines), or project briefs.
Website Usage Data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referral source (collected via cookies/analytics—see Section 6).

We do not collect sensitive personal information (e.g., race, religion, health data) unless explicitly required by law for a specific service (e.g., affirmative action reporting under B-BBEE), and only with your informed consent.

How We Use Your Information
We process your personal information for the following lawful purposes:

To provide, manage, and improve our services (e.g., drafting compliance documents, developing brand strategies).
To communicate with you about your engagement, invoices, updates, or support requests.
To comply with legal obligations (e.g., CIPC filings, tax reporting, POPIA record-keeping).
To prevent fraud, ensure security, and enforce our Terms and Conditions.
To send you relevant marketing communications (e.g., newsletters, service updates) — only if you have opted in.

We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Legal Basis for Processing Under POPIA, our processing is lawful because it is:

Necessary for the performance of a contract (your engagement with us);
Required to comply with a legal obligation (e.g., CIPC, SARS, POPIA);
Based on your explicit consent (e.g., for marketing emails or sharing data with a third-party auditor);
In our legitimate interest (e.g., fraud prevention, service improvement), where such interest does not override your rights.

Sharing of Personal Information We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

With service providers (e.g., cloud storage, accounting software) who act as our operators under POPIA and are bound by confidentiality agreements;
With regulatory authorities (e.g., CIPC, SARS, FSCA) where legally required;
With your explicit consent (e.g., if you ask us to share a report with your lawyer or bank);
In the event of a business transfer (e.g., merger, acquisition), where your data will remain protected under this policy.

We do not share data with overseas entities unless required by law and appropriate safeguards (e.g., binding corporate rules) are in place.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses essential cookies to ensure functionality (e.g., form submissions). We do not use tracking cookies for advertising or profiling without your prior consent.

You can manage cookie preferences via your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect website functionality.

Data Security We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including:

Encryption of data in transit (HTTPS) and at rest (where applicable);
Secure cloud storage with access controls;
Password-protected systems and regular security reviews;
Staff training on POPIA and data handling best practices.

While we take every reasonable step to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the internet is 100% secure. You transmit information at your own risk.

Your Rights Under POPIA You have the right to:

Request access to your personal information we hold;
Request correction or deletion of inaccurate or outdated information;
Object to processing (e.g., for direct marketing);
Withdraw consent at any time (e.g., unsubscribe from emails);
Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (www.justice.gov.za/inforeg).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@boogalproductions.co.za. We will respond within 30 days, as required by POPIA.

Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. For example:

Engagement records: 5 years after service completion (for audit/compliance);
Marketing consent: until you unsubscribe;
Website analytics: up to 12 months.

After this period, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

Children’s Privacy
Our services are intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware of such collection, we will promptly delete the information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
