Privacy Notice: Registering Interest
This notice explains how Kinetic Alert handles the personal information you give us when you register your interest in Kinetic Alert, as a rider or driver or on behalf of a club, riding group, fleet or business. It follows the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA). When the Kinetic Alert app launches, our full Privacy Policy will cover members who use the service.
- We collect only what we need to keep you updated and help you join at launch.
- We don't ask for your ID number, and we don't collect any location, medical or driving data at this stage.
- We don't sell your information.
- You can opt out, or ask us to delete your information, at any time.
1. Who we are
The responsible party is Kinetic Alert, registration number 2023/744992/07, Level 1, Block D, Crossing Center, Cnr Madiba Drive and N4, Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, 1200. Our Information Officer is Christo Odendaal, trust@kineticalert.com.
2. What we collect
If you register as a rider or driver: your name and surname, mobile (WhatsApp) number, email address (optional), province and town, whether you ride, drive or both, your club or riding group (optional), and who referred you (optional).
If you register a club, riding group, fleet or business: the organisation's name and type, the contact person's name, role, mobile number and email address, the province, the approximate number of members or vehicles, and who referred you (optional).
We also record your two confirmations: that you understand registering interest is not a contract or a membership, and that you agree we may contact you.
All fields marked as required must be completed for us to register you. You don't have to register.
3. Why we use it
- To record your interest and, when we launch, give you a founding member number.
- To send you updates about the launch, short surveys and, when we launch, an invitation to join, on WhatsApp or by email.
- For clubs, fleets and businesses, to follow up about a non-binding Founding Partner letter of intent.
- To understand interest by region and type of user, in totals that do not identify you. We may share these totals with partners and investors.
We process your information with your consent, which you give when you submit the form, and to take steps at your request before you become a member.
4. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who work for us under agreements and keep it confidential:
- Google Forms and Google Sheets, which collect and store the form responses.
- Our messaging providers, which send our WhatsApp and email updates.
- Our onboarding partner, who will help you join when the app launches.
Some of these providers may store information on servers outside South Africa. Where that happens, we rely on their agreements and safeguards to protect it as section 72 of POPIA requires.
5. How long we keep it
We keep your information until you become a member, ask us to delete it, or opt out. If you don't join, we delete it no later than six months after the app launches.
6. How we protect it
Only the Kinetic Alert team can see the responses, through password-protected accounts. If someone gains unauthorised access to your information, we will tell you and the Information Regulator as soon as reasonably possible, as POPIA requires.
7. Your rights
- Ask what information we hold about you, and see it.
- Ask us to correct or delete it.
- Withdraw your consent and stop receiving updates at any time. On WhatsApp, reply STOP.
- Complain to the Information Regulator.
To use these rights, email our Information Officer at trust@kineticalert.com. We may ask you to confirm your identity.
