Privacy Policy

Who This Policy Applies To

This policy applies to visitors using the Magna Mogul website, and to people who contact Magna Mogul through the contact routes available on it (telephone and the enquiry form).

It does not cover how Magna Mogul processes information about its employees, job applicants, or suppliers, or any processing that happens entirely outside this website. A wider company privacy framework, if one exists, is separate from this document.

Responsible Party

This website is operated by Magna Mogul (Pty) Ltd, a South African company.

• Address: 124 Thabo Mbeki Drive, Mokopane, 0601, South Africa
• Head Office: 015 061 0928
• Workshop: 015 061 0927
• Cell: 076 854 3932

The company's registration number and a named Information Officer have not yet been confirmed for publication, so neither is stated here. See Still Being Confirmed.

Information Currently Processed

Information Entered Into the Inactive Enquiry Form

The Contact page includes an enquiry form. Right now:

• Information may be typed into the form's fields.
• Validation of that information happens locally, in your own browser.
• The website does not transmit or store what you enter — there is no connected submission service.
• Closing the page or refreshing it is expected to remove whatever was entered, since nothing is saved anywhere.
• Until the form is active, please use the telephone numbers above for a live enquiry.

Telephone Contact

If you call Magna Mogul directly, any information you choose to share during that call is processed outside this website, for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. This policy covers the website; it does not describe call recording, CRM storage, or telephone retention practices, as these have not been verified for this document.

Technical Website Data

This project has not yet been deployed to a live production host, so its actual hosting and server-log behaviour hasn't been confirmed. In general, visiting any website of this kind may cause a hosting or security provider to generate standard technical logs, which can include:

• IP address
• Browser and device type
• Pages requested
• Date and time of access
• Referring page
• Error or security-related information

This is typical, standard hosting-level behaviour rather than something this website deliberately collects. Once the hosting provider is confirmed, this section will be updated to describe its actual logging and retention practices.

Cookies and Browser Storage

This website's code was checked directly for cookies, local storage, session storage, and similar browser-storage mechanisms. None were found. The website does not set cookies, does not use browser local or session storage, and does not run any analytics, advertising, or tracking script. No cookie-consent banner is shown, because nothing on this website currently requires one.

Why Information May Be Processed

Where this website does process information, it is for limited, practical purposes:

• Operating and securing the website
• Diagnosing technical problems
• Responding to an enquiry made by telephone (and, once active, through the form)
• Understanding which service area a visitor is interested in, where they've indicated one
• Keeping records where reasonably necessary for the business or required by law
• Complying with legal obligations

This website does not use information for advertising, behavioural profiling, automated decision-making, newsletter marketing, lead scoring, or cross-platform tracking, and personal information is not sold. None of those activities are implemented anywhere on this site today.

Lawful Processing

POPIA requires that personal information be processed lawfully, and for a specific, defined purpose. This section is a plain-language summary, not a legal opinion, and shouldn't be read as legal advice.

Depending on the situation, the lawful basis for processing information through this website's contact routes may include:

• Your consent, where you've chosen to provide information voluntarily
• Steps you've requested before entering into a contract with Magna Mogul
• Performance of a contract, where one exists
• Compliance with a legal obligation
• A legitimate interest of Magna Mogul's, provided it doesn't unjustifiably override your own rights

Not all processing described in this policy relies on consent — for example, responding to a phone enquiry you initiated doesn't necessarily require a separate consent step, though the enquiry form's consent checkbox exists for the information you choose to submit there.

Sharing of Information

Magna Mogul does not sell personal information. Information is not shared as a matter of routine, but it may need to be shared with verified service providers or authorities where genuinely necessary for:

• Website hosting
• Security
• Technical support
• Delivering the service a visitor has actually requested
• Complying with a legal obligation
• Protecting Magna Mogul's legitimate rights

This website does not currently name specific hosting, form, email, or analytics providers, because none has been confirmed for production use yet. Any provider selected in future — a form processor, an email service, an analytics tool — will be assessed and added to this policy before it's activated, not after.

Cross-Border Processing

This website's hosting location has not yet been finalised, so it would be inaccurate to state that information stays exclusively within South Africa. Depending on the hosting and technical service providers eventually used, some processing may take place outside South Africa.

This is marked as unresolved rather than guessed at. No international-transfer safeguards are claimed here, because none have been assessed yet. This section will be updated once the hosting provider and server location are confirmed.

Retention

Personal information should only be kept for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected for, or for as long as the law requires. No fixed retention period is stated here where none has been verified.

• Inactive form entries — not transmitted or stored by this website at all, so no retention question currently applies to them.
• Telephone or future enquiry records — how long these are kept, and by what process, still needs to be confirmed and documented.
• Technical server logs — retention would depend on the hosting provider eventually used, which is not yet confirmed.

Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures should be used to protect personal information against loss, unauthorised access, and misuse. This policy does not claim encryption at rest, penetration testing, intrusion detection, formal access-control reviews, security certifications, specific backup arrangements, or a formal incident-response system, because none of these have been verified for this website.

No system that transmits or stores information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. That's a general limitation, not an excuse for weak controls — and it's a more relevant statement for whatever system eventually receives form submissions than for the current, disconnected form.

Your Rights

Under POPIA, and depending on the circumstances, you may generally be entitled to:

• Ask whether Magna Mogul holds personal information about you
• Request access to that information
• Request correction, or deletion where applicable, of information that is inaccurate or no longer needed
• Object to certain kinds of processing
• Withdraw consent, where processing depends on consent, without affecting anything already done based on that consent
• Submit a complaint to the Information Regulator (see below)

These rights aren't unconditional in every case — some requests can be limited or refused where the law allows it, and Magna Mogul may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, to avoid disclosing information to the wrong person.

A dedicated privacy contact channel and email address are still being confirmed (see Still Being Confirmed). Until then, please use the telephone numbers below to raise a privacy request or query.

The Information Regulator

If you believe your personal information has been processed contrary to POPIA, you may approach the Information Regulator (South Africa) — the independent body established to regulate and enforce POPIA and PAIA.

These details reflect the Regulator's own published contact information at the time this page was written. Please confirm current details directly on the Regulator's website before relying on them for a formal complaint.

Children's Information

This website is intended for business and professional enquiries relating to Magna Mogul's services, and is not directed at children. It has no reliable way of verifying a visitor's age, so please don't use the enquiry form or telephone contact routes to submit personal information belonging to a child.

External Links

This website links to at least one external service — a Google Maps link from the Contact page, used to help locate Magna Mogul's address. External websites and services operate under their own privacy practices, which Magna Mogul does not control and is not responsible for.

This clause only concerns third-party services linked from this site — it does not limit or reduce Magna Mogul's own responsibility for the information described elsewhere in this policy.

Changes to This Policy

This policy will need to be revisited and updated when, for example:

• The Contact form becomes active
• A form or email service provider is selected
• Any analytics tool or cookie is introduced
• Hosting arrangements are finalised
• A dedicated privacy contact is confirmed
• Legal or operational requirements otherwise change

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. No mechanism currently exists to notify individual visitors directly of changes, so none is promised here.

Privacy Contact

A dedicated privacy email address and the company's verified website domain are still being confirmed. Please don't rely on any email address referencing this website until one is published here.

Still Being Confirmed

In the interest of transparency, this policy is based on real, verified information wherever possible. The following haven't been confirmed yet, and nothing about them has been guessed or invented:

• The company's exact registered entity name and registration number
• The correct website domain and a correct company email address
• The Information Officer's identity and a dedicated privacy contact route
• The hosting provider and where servers are physically located
• What technical/server logs are generated, and for how long they're kept
• The eventual form submission endpoint and its processor
• How long telephone or future form enquiry records are retained
• The specific technical and organisational security controls in place
• Whether a PAIA manual exists or is required
• Any future analytics or cookie implementation
