POPIA Privacy Notice

Jurisdictional notice under the South African Protection of Personal Information Act.

Why this notice

This notice supplements our Privacy Policy with information specific to the South African Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 ('POPIA'). It applies where AcuFin processes personal information of data subjects in South Africa.

Responsible Party

AcuFin Corporate Limited, acting from Mauritius and through its South African representations in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Information Officer: dpo@acufin.global. South African enquiries may also be addressed to za@acufin.global.

Lawful processing conditions

We process personal information under POPIA on the bases of consent, the performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, the protection of a legitimate interest, or processing necessary for our legitimate interests, in each case in line with section 11 of POPIA.

Special personal information

We avoid processing special personal information (including data on race, health, beliefs, political affiliation, criminal behaviour) unless required for AML/CFT due diligence under the law, with consent, or where another POPIA condition applies.

Cross-border transfer

Personal information of South African data subjects may be transferred to Mauritius and elsewhere. We rely on section 72 of POPIA, typically through binding agreements that provide a level of protection comparable to POPIA, or on consent.

Direct marketing

We send direct electronic marketing only with consent or where you are an existing client and the marketing relates to similar services. Every message provides a clear unsubscribe option.

Your rights under POPIA

You may request access to your personal information, correction or deletion, object to processing, withdraw consent, and complain to the Information Regulator. To exercise rights, email dpo@acufin.global.

Information Regulator

The Information Regulator (South Africa): https://inforegulator.org.za/. We would, however, ask you to contact us first so we can address your concern.
