Privacy Policy

Introduction
 

This policy governs the processing of personal information/personal data by INVNT and outlines the requirements INVNT commits to complying with when processing personal information/personal data in the course of its operations and contractual obligations to data subjects and third parties.
 

INVNT places a high premium on the privacy of every individual or organization with whom it interacts or engages and acknowledges the need to handle personal information/personal data with a reasonable standard of care.

Therefore, INVNT is committed to complying with the requirements of POPIA and, where applicable, with the terms of the GDPR. When engaging with INVNT, whether physically or via digital or electronic interfaces such as INVNT’s website, self-service portal, or mobile app, data subjects or third parties acknowledge that they trust INVNT to process their personal information/personal data.

All data subjects and third parties have the right to object to the processing of their personal information/personal data. Acceptance of the terms and conditions contained in this policy is voluntary. However, INVNT requires the acceptance of data subjects or third parties to effectively enter into a policy of insurance, liaise with a data subject, exercise its rights, enforce obligations, and comply with applicable laws.

Purpose and Application

The purpose of this policy is not only to inform data subjects about how INVNT processes their personal information/personal data but also to establish a standard for compliance by INVNT, its employees, and representatives in the processing of personal information/personal data.
 

INVNT, acting as a responsible party/operator/controller (as applicable), will strive to observe and comply with its obligations under POPIA and the GDPR (where applicable) when processing personal information/personal data from or in respect of any data subject.
 

Collecting and Processing of Personal Information/Personal Data

Whenever a data subject completes an application form, contacts INVNT electronically or telephonically, or uses any of the products, services, facilities, tools, or utilities offered by INVNT through its website, self-service portal, or mobile app, INVNT will be processing the data subject’s personal information/personal data.
 

INVNT may also collect a data subject’s personal information/personal data from other sources. In such instances, INVNT will not be responsible for any loss suffered by the data subject, their dependents, beneficiaries, spouse, or employees.
 

INVNT will process personal information/personal data to facilitate and enhance the delivery of products and services to its members, foster a legally compliant workplace environment, and safeguard the personal information/personal data it holds.
 

Storage and Retention of Personal Information/Personal Data

INVNT will retain personal information/personal data it has processed in an electronic or hard copy file format with a third-party service provider appointed for this purpose.
 

Personal information/personal data will only be retained by INVNT for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as permitted by applicable law.
 

Any data subject has the right to object to the processing of their personal information, and INVNT will retain and store the data subject’s personal information/personal data for the purpose of addressing such objections or inquiries as soon and swiftly as possible.

Failure to Provide Personal Information

If INVNT is required by law or for legitimate business purposes to collect personal information/personal data from a data subject, and the data subject fails to provide such personal information/personal data, INVNT may, upon notice to the data subject, decline to render services without any liability to the data subject.
 

Securing Personal Information/Personal Data

INVNT has implemented appropriate physical, organizational, contractual, and technological security measures to secure the integrity and confidentiality of personal information/personal data, including measures to protect against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification of personal information/personal data in compliance with applicable laws.

INVNT will take steps to notify the relevant regulators and affected data subjects in the event of a security breach and will provide such notification as soon as reasonably possible after becoming aware of any such breach.
 

Although INVNT has taken appropriate measures to secure the integrity and confidentiality of the personal information/personal data it processes, INVNT does not guarantee that its security system is 100% secure or error-free.
