Privacy Policy

Who we are

Broker Verdict operates the website at brokerverdict.co.za. References to “we”, “us” or “our” in this policy refer to the Broker Verdict team. Our contact email is info@brokerverdict.co.za.

This policy is written in plain language. Where we use a technical or legal term, we explain it. This policy applies to personal information collected through brokerverdict.co.za only — it doesn’t cover any broker, product or service we link to.

What information we collect

Information you provide directly: If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the contents of your message. We don’t currently operate any newsletter, account registration or contact form on this site.

Information collected automatically: Like most websites, we use analytics tools that automatically collect certain information when you visit, including your approximate geographic location (country level), device type, browser, pages viewed, and referring website. This is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally.

Cookies: Our site may use cookies — small text files stored on your device — for analytics purposes. You can control cookie settings through your browser. Third-party services we use (such as Google Analytics or affiliate tracking) may also set cookies; refer to those services’ own privacy policies for details.

How we use information

• To understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it.
• To respond to contact enquiries.
• To track affiliate referrals (for commission purposes — this is a technical necessity of the affiliate programmes we participate in).

We do not sell personal data. We do not use personal data for targeted advertising.

Third-party services

We may use third-party services including Google Analytics (website analytics), WordPress and its hosting provider (site infrastructure), and broker affiliate tracking systems. These services have their own privacy policies and may collect data in accordance with those policies. We don’t control what third-party services do with data they collect directly.

Data retention

Contact emails are retained for as long as they’re needed to respond to your enquiry, and then deleted. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form for up to 26 months.

Your rights (POPIA)

South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) gives you rights over your personal information, including the right to access, correct and in certain circumstances request deletion of personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, email info@brokerverdict.co.za.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date below reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
