MDM is aware that you care how information about you is used and shared and we are grateful for your trust in us to do that carefully and sensibly.

 

Our Privacy Policy describes the different types of personal information that we may collect about you, the purposes for which we may use the information, the circumstances in which we may share the information and the steps that we take to honour and safeguard the information to protect your privacy.

 

As used throughout this Policy, the term " MDM ", " us " or " we " refers to Master Data Management (Pty) Ltd

 

 

Any personal information provided to or gathered by MDM is controlled by Master Data Management (Pty) Ltd

 

 

 

When you use the www.masterdata.co.za website (our "Site") or contact us by post, telephone, fax, email, SMS or via social media , we collect, store and use certain personal information that you disclose to us.

 

This includes details such as your name, place of work, address, telephone, fax, email and mobile phone number as well as traffic data, location data, web logs and othercommunication data, whether this is required for our own purposes or otherwise and the resources that you access. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

 

 

We may ask you to complete surveys for research purposes from time to time, although you do not have to respond to them.

 

 

We operate an automatic opt-in policy, which means that when you request information from us or make an enquiry , we add you to our database.

 

We may also use your details to send you our monthly email newsletter. Clear opt-out options are available on our email newsletter

 

In addition, we use this information to improve our customer services platform, prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our website and enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our behalf.

 

We will also use the information in the course of collecting any payments that may be due to us from you.

 

If you apply for employment at MDM, we use the personal information you supply to process your job application.

 

Other than as set out in this privacy policy we will not share your personal information with third parties for marketing or any other purposes without your consent, unless we are required to do so by law.

 

Information about our clients is an important part of our business and we do not sell it to others. MDM shares member information only as described below.

 

Our Technology Partners:  If you have joined us via a lead provided by our technology partners whether from a sponsored advertising campaign, a website registration, a trade show, or any other lead, you consent to us sharing your information with the relevant Company. Your information will also be shared for lead registration purposes as required.

 

Third Party Service Providers: We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from client lists, analysing data, and providing marketing assistance. Third party service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process the personal information in accordance with this privacy policy and as permitted by South African data protection legislation, and destroy the information provided once they are complete

 

Protection of MDM and others: We release account and other personal information when we believe that such a release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of MDM, our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, sharing or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from members for commercial purposes in a way that is contrary to the commitments made in this privacy policy.

 

With your consent, other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

 

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personally identifiable information. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.
