Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Schools Water Daily collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website, schoolswater.co.za. We are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about the data we gather through standard web technologies. This policy applies to all visitors to our site, regardless of location.

Information We Collect

When you visit Schools Water Daily, we automatically collect certain information through standard web technologies. This includes:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Referring website or search engine
• Standard server log data

We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through contact forms or comments — and even then, such data is not stored in a database.

How We Use Information

The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

• To understand how visitors interact with our content
• To improve website performance and user experience
• To ensure the security and stability of our website
• To generate anonymous aggregate statistics about site traffic

We do not use your information for direct marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making. No personal data is sold, rented, or shared for commercial purposes.

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 usage. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a defined period).

These cookies do not store personal information and cannot access other data on your device. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect site functionality.

Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to help us understand website traffic and deliver relevant content. These include:

• Google Analytics: To collect anonymous traffic data and report on user behavior.
• Advertising networks: We may display ads through third-party ad networks (e.g., Google AdSense), which may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. These services operate under their own privacy policies.

We do not have control over the data practices of these third parties. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies for more information.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we strive to use industry-standard practices to safeguard your data.

Your Rights

Under South African law, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), you have the right to:

• Request access to any personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Request deletion of your data where applicable
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Receive a copy of your data in a structured format

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details provided below. We will respond within 30 days. Please note that these rights apply only to data you have voluntarily provided, as we do not maintain databases of personal information collected automatically.

Children's Privacy

Schools Water Daily does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to remove such information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The most current version will always be posted on this page with the updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
