This Privacy Policy explains how Cape Town Daily Buzz (operated by Jasper Kriel) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website, 021magazine.co.za. We are committed to transparency and respect for your privacy. This policy applies to all visitors of our informational blog, which does not require registration or collect personal data through forms.

• IP address and browser type
• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Referral sources (e.g., search engines or other websites)
• Device and operating system details

No personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers is collected, stored, or processed in any database.

The data collected is used solely for the following purposes:

We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or selling to third parties.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyze site traffic. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a limited time).

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website functionalities, but you will still be able to access all content.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services to help us operate and improve our website. These include:

• Google Analytics – to collect anonymous traffic data and usage patterns
• Advertising networks – such as Google AdSense, which may place cookies to serve interest-based ads

These third parties have their own privacy policies and are responsible for their own data practices. We do not control how they collect or use your information. We recommend reviewing their policies directly.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your data. Our website uses standard security measures, including SSL encryption for all connections. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Under South African law, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• The right to be informed about what data is collected
• The right to request access to your data (if any is held)
• The right to request correction or deletion of inaccurate data
• The right to object to processing

Since we do not store personal information in databases, most of these rights do not apply in practice. However, if you believe any personal data has been inadvertently collected or retained, please contact us using the details below.

Our website is not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to remove it.
