Working draft: review with counsel before launch.
Who we are
OddityOne (Pty) Ltd is a software studio in Dainfern, Johannesburg, South Africa. We design and build websites and web platforms. We are the responsible party for the personal information described here.
Our Information Officer can be reached at OddityOS@outlook.com.
What we collect
Through the contact form: your name, email address, organisation and message. Through the project brief: your name, company and email address, and what you tell us about the problem, what success looks like, your timeline, your current systems and how often you would like to meet. If you email us, we keep that correspondence.
We ask for nothing else. Please do not send us special personal information, or other people's personal information, through these forms. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Why, and on what basis
We use what you send us to answer you, to understand whether we can help, and to prepare a proposal if you ask for one. The basis is your request: the processing is necessary to take the steps you asked for before any contract, and it is in our legitimate interest to reply to people who write to us (POPIA section 11). Your email address is used only to reply to you, never for a mailing list unless you ask to join one.
Who handles it for us
The forms are delivered to our inbox by email through a transactional email provider, which acts as our operator. It processes information in the United States. We send information outside South Africa only as POPIA section 72 allows: because it is necessary to carry out your request, and under the provider's written terms, which bind it to protect the information to a standard comparable to POPIA. Our email and website hosting providers also store it as our operators. A current list of the operators we use is available on request.
How long we keep it
An enquiry or brief that does not lead to work is deleted within twelve months of our last exchange. If it leads to an engagement, the correspondence becomes part of the project record and is kept for as long as the law requires us to keep business records.
How we protect it
Forms are sent over an encrypted connection. The site does not store your submission in a database; it is passed to the email provider and kept in our inbox. Access is limited to the people who reply to you.
Your rights
You may ask what personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, or to stop using it, by emailing OddityOS@outlook.com. We will reply within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you may complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa at inforeg.org.za.
Cookies & local storage

Changes
If we change how we handle personal information, we will update this page before the change takes effect.
