Information We Collect
We collect only the personal information necessary to provide our locksmith services. This typically includes:
- Your name
- Your phone number
- Your address (for the purpose of attending the job)
- The nature of the lock or key problem you have described
We do not operate an online booking system, a newsletter, or any automated data collection mechanism on this website. The only contact mechanism is the telephone number provided.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide solely to:
- Respond to your request for a locksmith service
- Confirm appointments and provide an estimated arrival time
- Follow up on completed jobs where relevant (for example, if a part was ordered and needs fitting)
We do not sell, share, or transfer your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for marketing purposes.
Retention
We retain basic job records for accounting and insurance purposes for the period required by South African law. After this period, records are securely destroyed.
Your Rights Under POPIA
You have the right to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information where legally permissible
- Object to the processing of your personal information
To exercise any of these rights, contact us on 066 147 4234.
Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect any personal information we hold. Given the limited nature of data we collect and the fact that we do not operate an online database of customer information, the primary risk is physical records. These are stored securely.
