PRIVACY POLICY & POPIA COMPLIANCE
Your spatial telemetry, boundary vectors, animal health data, and camera imagery represent sovereign commercial assets. We enforce strict compliance with South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA 4 of 2013) and maintain zero foreign data egress.
1. Designated Information Officer (POPIA Section 55)
2. The Zero Foreign Data Egress Doctrine
Unlike Silicon Valley agricultural platforms that ingest your livestock GPS traces into public cloud training sets or resell land yield data to commodity speculation cartels, HOTGROUP guarantees complete data sovereignty:
- Primary geospatial servers reside inside the borders of the Republic of South Africa.
- Offline PowerSync edge hubs retain all animal GPS tracks on local farmstead hardware.
- Zero telemetry data is sold, licensed, or shared with third-party advertising or insurance brokers.
3. Compliance with the 8 Conditions for Lawful Processing
HOTGROUP processes personal information exclusively for the purpose of executing telemetry contracts, dispatching hardware orders via registered couriers, and providing certified SAIDSA By-Law 25 alarm audit trails.
4. PAIA Section 51 Statutory Manual Availability
In accordance with Section 51 of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA 2 of 2000), our statutory PAIA manual describing records held, categories of data subjects, and request procedures is available upon written request to [email protected] or for inspection at our Bloemfontein registered office.
