We may share your personal information with our trusted suppliers
You are sharing your information with Just Money (Pty) Ltd.
We share your information with a credit bureau to obtain your credit score and credit report when you apply for financial products and services.
If you ask us to, we may share your information with other companies who advertise on our website and with those companies whose products or services you applied for.
We share your information with the service providers who help us deliver our services to you only if they have agreed to protect your information. For instance, we may share your information with our SMS service providers. Some of our service providers are situated overseas, and we may share your personal information with them.
Sometimes we need to disclose your information to a third party:
- if we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with the law, legal process, or a government request:
- to enforce our contracts and policies;
- to protect the security and integrity of our service;
- to protect ourselves, clients, and the public from illegal activity; or
- to respond to an emergency which we believe in good faith requires that we disclose information.
If there is a change in our company structure or ownership, we may share your information as part of the assets transferred, or the due diligence for that transaction.
We do not keep your information longer than we need to
We have to keep your personal information for as long as you are our client, or you are subscribed to our notifications. We will not keep your information for longer than we need to for operational purposes, or longer than the law requires.
Your rights and preferences
You have the right to
- ask what personal information we have about you;
- ask what personal information we sent to our suppliers, service providers, or anyone else;
- ask us to update, correct, or delete any out-of-date or incorrect personal information we have about you;
- unsubscribe from any direct marketing communications we may send you,
- object to the processing of your personal information; and
- lodge a complaint about our practices with the Information Regulator.
It can take us up to 21 days to respond to your request because there are procedures that we need to follow.
In some instances, we may need proof of your identity, and sometimes we may have additional requirements before we can update your information.
We have reasonable security measures in place based on how sensitive the information is. These measures are in place to protect the information from being disclosed, from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access, and from being altered or destroyed. If you suspect that we (or you) have had a security breach, please let us know immediately by sending an email to info@justmoney.co.za. Please include as much information as you can.
