Collection of personal information
While visiting our website, you may be requested to provide certain personal information which identifies you as an individual (including, but not limited to your name and contact details). It is your decision to provide your personal information to us and you can choose what personal information you provide.
We do not acquire more information about you than is necessary for us to provide our services efficiently, in the ordinary course of our business.
We are not in the business of selling personal information and therefore we will not disclose your personal information to anyone except as provided in this policy.
Unless Metrofile is required by law to do so, we will not transfer your information to third parties (not part of the Metrofile group companies) without your consent. At times, we may however transfer your information to our group companies for business development, market research or to share it between group companies for direct marketing purposes. At any time, should you not wish to receive direct marketing from us, please inform us at marketing@metrofileholdings.co.za in order to unsubscribe. In addition, each time we send you marketing information by e-mail or SMS text messaging, we will provide an opportunity for you to unsubscribe from receiving further information from us.
Should there be a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial assets, reorganisation or liquidation of our company, we may transfer your information to third parties involved in the sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial assets, reorganisation or liquidation. By providing any person information to us, you fully understand and clearly consent to the fact that we may transfer such personal information in these cases.
You further fully understand and clearly consent to the fact that we may transfer such personal information to, and the collection and processing of such information in, other countries or territories (due to Metrofile’s international footprint). Any such transfer disclosure and processing by us will be in accordance with this Website Privacy Policy.
We may disclose your personal information if permitted by law or required to do so by law or where we believe such action is necessary in order to protect or defend our interests or the interests of our customers or users of our site.
