Privacy Notice

Who we are

iNRECO Ad Studio is operated by Casper Badenhorst, trading as iNRECO Consulting, 902, 29th Avenue, Rietfontein, Pretoria, 0084, South Africa. We are the “responsible party” for your personal information under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

Information Officer: Casper Badenhorst — info@inreco.co.za. Any request or concern about how we handle your information can be sent to this address.

What we keep

• Your name, email address, and the country you tell us you are in.
• The brands, logos, topics, settings and adverts you create in the tool.
• A record of your payments, kept so we can show your history and handle refunds.

Why we keep it

To run your account, create your adverts, take payment, and give you support. This is necessary to perform our contract with you. We do not sell your information to anyone.

Who else sees it

• PayFast handles your payment details. We never see or store your card number.
• The wording and pictures for your adverts are created by artificial-intelligence services (currently OpenAI and Anthropic) we use on your behalf. Only the topic and brand details needed to make the advert are sent to them — never your payment details.
• Cross-border transfer notice: these AI providers are based outside South Africa. Before sending any information to them, we satisfy ourselves that they are bound by contractual terms requiring a standard of protection at least equivalent to POPIA.
• Your account data is stored on secure hosted servers, and only you can see your own brands, topics and adverts.

How long we keep it

For as long as your account exists, and no longer than is necessary for the purpose it was collected for. If you ask us to delete your account, we remove your brands, topics and adverts, keeping only the payment records the law requires us to keep (generally required for a minimum period for tax purposes).

Your rights

You can, at any time:

• View and correct your details in the app.
• Ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you.
• Ask us to delete your account and personal information (subject to the legal retention duties above).
• Object to a particular use of your information, where you have grounds to do so.
• Lodge a complaint with us, or directly with South Africa's Information Regulator if you believe we have not handled your information properly: enquiries@inforegulator.org.za · www.inforegulator.org.za
