3. Personal Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of personal information from you:

  • Full name
  • Mobile number
  • Email address
  • Area or city of residence
  • Personal background information you voluntarily choose to share
  • Relationship history and partner preferences (voluntarily provided)
  • Communication records (email, WhatsApp messages)
  • Payment records (we do not store card or banking details)

Some information you choose to share — such as health conditions, religious beliefs, or relationship history — may constitute special personal information under POPIA. We collect such information only with your explicit consent and treat it with the highest level of care and discretion.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information to:

  • Assess your suitability for membership in the Executive Dating service
  • Contact you regarding your enquiry or application
  • Arrange and facilitate introductions (with your consent)
  • Provide ongoing advisory support during your membership
  • Comply with our legal obligations under South African law

We do not use your personal information for unsolicited marketing to third parties. We do not sell your personal information under any circumstances.

5. Sharing of Information

Your personal information will not be shared with any third party except:

  • Where you have given your express prior consent (for example, for an introduction to proceed); or
  • Where we are required to do so by law or by a valid court order.

Any sharing of your information for the purpose of making an introduction will be conducted with mutual consent from both parties involved.

6. Retention of Information

We retain your personal information for as long as your membership is active, and for a reasonable period thereafter as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

Enquiries that do not result in membership are retained for a maximum period of 12 months following your enquiry date, after which they are securely deleted.

7. Your Rights Under POPIA

As a data subject under POPIA, you have the right to:

  • Be notified that your personal information is being processed;
  • Request access to your personal information held by us;
  • Request correction of inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information;
  • Request deletion of your personal information (subject to any lawful retention requirements);
  • Object to the processing of your personal information;
  • Lodge a complaint with the South African Information Regulator.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at executivedating08@gmail.com.

8. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Cross-Border Processing

We may use cloud-based services or email platforms that process data outside of South Africa (such as Google). Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that adequate protection for your personal information is in place, in accordance with POPIA.
