What happens to the details you send.

This notice covers the enquiry form and WhatsApp messages, under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

Who is responsible

Matthew Ratcliffe, trading as Housewright, is the responsible party and the Information Officer. Based in Witbank (eMalahleni), Mpumalanga. Contact: ratcliffematthew@gmail.com.

What I collect and why

Your name, your church and town, a WhatsApp number or email address, and what you choose to tell me. I use it only to reply to your enquiry and, if you want one, to prepare a quote.

A name and a way to reach you are needed to reply. Everything else is optional.

Where it goes

Form messages are delivered through Cloudflare, which may process them outside South Africa. WhatsApp is run by Meta, also outside South Africa. Apart from those two, I share your details with no one, I never sell them, and I never add you to a mailing list without asking separately.

This site sets no cookies. The example on the home page remembers whether you chose Manual or Auto, in your own browser's storage. It holds nothing about you and never leaves your device.

How long I keep it

Twelve months after our last contact if no work follows; then it is deleted.

Your rights

You can ask to see what I hold about you, ask me to correct or delete it, or object to how it is used, by WhatsApp or at ratcliffematthew@gmail.com. If you are unhappy with how I handle it, you can complain to the Information Regulator at inforegulator.org.za.
