Privacy and POPIA notice
Draft — pending professional legal review. Last updated 10 November 2026.
Roles
For attendee information collected for an event, the organiser is the responsible party under the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) and TechTur acts as its operator, processing the information on the organiser's behalf. For organiser accounts, TechTur is the responsible party.
What we collect
Attendees: name, email, mobile number (optional), ticket choices, names on tickets, any answers the organiser asks for, payment status and check-in times. Organisers: name, email, phone, organisation details and bank instructions they choose to show attendees. Technical: a session cookie for signed-in users and IP addresses for security rate limits.
Why
To register you, let the organiser confirm payment, deliver and verify your ticket, prevent fraud and duplicate entry, and keep financial records. We do not use attendee details for TechTur marketing and do not sell personal information.
Who sees it
The event organiser and the team members they authorise; TechTur staff for support and security; our email provider for delivering messages; Paystack if you pay by card. Data is stored on servers we control.
Children
Parents or guardians should register children. We only collect a child's name on a ticket when the organiser needs it.
Retention
Event records are kept for as long as the organiser needs them and financial records for up to five years for tax and audit purposes, then deleted or anonymised.
Your rights
You may ask to see, correct or delete your information, or object to processing, by contacting the organiser or techtursolutions@gmail.com. You may complain to the Information Regulator (inforegulator.org.za).
Security
Passwords are hashed with Argon2id, connections use HTTPS, access is limited by role and each organiser's data is kept separate. If a breach affects you we will notify you and the Information Regulator as POPIA requires.
Cookies
We use one essential cookie to keep organisers signed in. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
