Your privacy

Last updated: 10 November 2026

DT Advance respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through dtadvance.co.za and when you work with us, why we collect it, and your rights under the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).

Who we are

DT Advance is a remote marketing service based in the Western Cape, South Africa, operated by De Wet. We are the responsible party for the personal information described in this policy.

What we collect

• Enquiry form: your name, business name, email address, industry, the modules you selected and anything you write in the message box.
• Emails and messages you send us, including on Instagram.
• Client information if you become a client: contact details, billing details and the information needed to run your marketing.
• Technical information: like any website, our hosting provider and font provider receive standard technical data such as your IP address and browser type when you load the site. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies on this website.

Why we use it

• To reply to your enquiry and recommend a setup.
• To deliver our services, send weekly reports and invoice you if you become a client.
• To keep records we are legally required to keep, such as invoices.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we do not use it for anything unrelated to the reasons above. We will only send you marketing messages if you have asked for them, and you can opt out at any time.

Who we share it with

We use a small number of trusted service providers to run the business. They process information only on our instructions:

• Formspree: receives and forwards enquiry form submissions.
• Vercel: hosts this website.
• Zoho: business email.
• Google: documents and spreadsheets (Google Drive) and website fonts.
• Meta (Facebook and Instagram): if you message us there, or if you are a client whose accounts we manage.

Some of these providers store information outside South Africa. We only use providers that are bound by data-protection laws or agreements that give a level of protection comparable to POPIA.

Clients' customers and leads

When we run marketing for a client, we may handle the personal information of that client's enquiries and leads (for example names and contact details from lead forms). In that case the client is the responsible party and we act as their operator: we process that information only to deliver the agreed services, keep it secure, and delete or return it when our agreement ends.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries for up to 12 months if they do not lead to working together. Client records are kept for as long as we work together and afterwards for as long as the law requires (for example, five years for financial records).

How we protect it

We use reputable, secure providers, restrict access to the people who need it, use strong passwords and two-factor authentication where available, and never ask clients for their social media passwords.

Your rights

Under POPIA you have the right to:

• ask what personal information we hold about you and request a copy;
• ask us to correct or delete your information;
• object to us processing your information, including for marketing;
• withdraw your consent at any time where we rely on consent.

Email info@dtadvance.co.za and we will respond within a reasonable time. If you are not satisfied with how we handle your information, you may lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa (inforegulator.org.za).

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date at the top.
