Your data, handled the way we'd want ours handled.
This page covers what this website collects (very little), what happens when you contact us, and your rights under POPIA — in plain language, because a privacy policy you can't read isn't a trust signal. Effective 7 July 2026.
The responsible party.
VectorFoundry is a South African software company and, in the language of the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), the "responsible party" for personal information processed through this website. For anything in this policy — including reaching our Information Officer — email support@vectorfoundry.tech.
What this site collects — and what it deliberately doesn't.
No cookies. At all.
This website sets no cookies — analytics included. That's why there's no cookie banner: there's nothing to consent to.
Analytics without tracking you
We run a self-hosted, cookieless analytics tool (Umami) on our own servers. It shows us aggregate numbers — which pages are read, which sections are viewed, which contact buttons are clicked — using a short-lived anonymised identifier, not your IP address or identity. Nothing follows you across the web, and the data never leaves infrastructure we operate.
No routine access logs
Our web server doesn't keep routine access logs of who visited what. Technical data like your IP address is processed transiently to deliver pages and defend the server, not stored in a browsing record.
Your enquiry is a conversation, not a list entry.
The contact form asks for your name, work email, the business challenge you want to solve, and — optionally — your company and phone number. It submits nothing without your explicit consent, and the details go to exactly two places: an email to our founders so we can respond, and a record kept on the same servers we host this site on, so nothing is lost. No third-party form service is involved. Prefer email? Writing to support@vectorfoundry.tech works exactly the same way. Either way, we use your details to respond and to carry on the conversation you started — nothing else. You won't be added to a marketing list (we don't send bulk email), your details aren't shared with anyone, and the correspondence is kept only as ordinary business records for as long as the conversation and any engagement that follows it needs.
What we don't do with your data.
- No third-party trackers. No Google Analytics, no advertising pixels, no social-media beacons, no ad networks — the only scripts on this site talk to our own servers.
- No selling or sharing. Personal information from this website is never sold, rented, or handed to third parties for their own use.
- No unsolicited marketing. We currently send no bulk email at all. If that ever changes, it will be opt-in with a working unsubscribe — as POPIA requires and as we'd expect ourselves.
- No profiling. Nothing collected here feeds automated decision-making about you.
Hosting, in one paragraph.
This website and its analytics run on servers we operate in an OVH data centre in Canada. That means the limited data described above is processed outside South Africa; we host it there under this policy's safeguards — on infrastructure we control, encrypted in transit, with no third-party processors involved in the website's data.
Your rights under POPIA.
- Access. Ask what personal information we hold about you, and get a copy.
- Correction and deletion. Ask us to correct it or delete it — for website data, that's typically your email correspondence.
- Objection. Object to processing, or withdraw a consent you previously gave.
- Complaint. If you believe we've handled your information unlawfully and we haven't resolved it, you can complain to the Information Regulator (South Africa) at inforegulator.org.za.
To exercise any of these, email support@vectorfoundry.tech. We'll respond within a reasonable time, and we don't charge for reasonable requests.
One honest boundary
This policy covers this public website. Personal information processed inside the VectorFoundry platform during customer engagements — interviews, rules, decision records — is governed by the agreement with that customer, under stricter, contract-specific terms: isolated per customer, consented and purpose-built capture, and exportable in a documented open format. If you're a participant in a customer engagement, your company's agreement with us is the document that applies.
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the effective date at the top. Last updated: 7 July 2026.
