Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

• Information you give us. When you complete our “Request a Proposal” form or email us, we collect your name, email address, company or website (if provided), the services you’re interested in, your budget and timeline, and any project details you share.
• Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider may log basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device, and pages visited. This is used for security and to keep the site running reliably.

2. How we use your information

• To respond to your enquiry and prepare a proposal.
• To provide, manage, and improve our services and this website.
• To communicate with you about your project or request.
• To comply with legal obligations and protect our legitimate business interests.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making that produces legal effects.

3. Legal basis for processing

We process your personal information on the basis of your consent (which you give by submitting our form), to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, and for our legitimate interests in running and growing our business — balanced against your rights and freedoms.

4. Service providers & sharing

We share personal information only with trusted third parties who help us operate, such as:

• Form processing: our contact form is handled by Formspree, which transmits your submission to us by email.
• Hosting & delivery: this site is hosted and served via Netlify.
• Fonts: web fonts are served by Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address as part of delivering them.

These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy and security terms. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.

5. International transfers

Some of our service providers are based outside South Africa. Where your information is transferred across borders, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected to a standard consistent with this policy and applicable law.

6. Cookies & analytics

This website does not set non-essential marketing cookies. If we add analytics or other tracking in future, we will update this policy and, where required, request your consent.

7. Data retention

We keep your information only for as long as needed to respond to your enquiry, deliver our services, and meet legal or accounting requirements. When it is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.

8. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:

• access the personal information we hold about you;
• request correction or deletion of your information;
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• withdraw consent at any time; and
• lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

In South Africa you may contact the Information Regulator. To exercise any of these rights, email us at horeb.co.za@gmail.com.

9. Security

We take reasonable, appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children

Our services are intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “effective date” above shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
