POPIA privacy notice · Version 2026-09-01
Your information deserves care.
This notice explains how Boksburg South Seventh-day Adventist Church processes personal information through its learning platform in line with South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).

Boksburg South Seventh-day Adventist Church is the responsible party for information used to provide this learning programme. Privacy enquiries may be sent to communications@boksburgsouthsda.org.
Information we collect
- Account details such as name, email address and optional mobile number.
- Course enrolments, lesson completion, quiz answers, marks, feedback and announcements.
- Security and operational records needed to protect accounts, investigate misuse and maintain the service.
- Your recorded acceptance of this notice.
Why and on what basis
We use information to register and authenticate users, deliver courses, assess learning, communicate service messages, support learners, safeguard the platform and meet legitimate church governance or legal duties. Registration consent supports the voluntary learning service; some security and record-keeping processing is necessary for legitimate interests or legal compliance.
Who may access it
Learners see their own profile, courses and results. Facilitators see information needed for assigned learning and assessment. Administrators manage accounts and platform operations. Hosting, email and technical providers may process limited information under appropriate safeguards. We do not sell personal information.
Retention and security
We keep information only as long as required for the learning programme, safeguarding, accountability and applicable legal duties. Access is role-based; passwords are hashed; reset links are time-limited; administrative actions are logged; and production traffic uses HTTPS. No online system can guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and rights
You may request access, correction, deletion where legally available, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent for optional processing, or information about recipients. See the privacy rights and requests page for the process and complaint channels.
Changes
Material changes will be dated and communicated where appropriate. The version accepted at registration is retained for accountability.
