Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Tarryn McNamara collects and uses personal information through this website and when responding to enquiries. Personal information is handled in accordance with South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).
1. Who is responsible for your information
Tarryn McNamara is the responsible party for personal information collected through this website. Privacy questions and requests can be sent to tarryn@tarrynmcnamara.com.
2. Information collected
Depending on your enquiry, the information may include your name, email address, telephone number, job title, organisation, programme requirements, professional objectives and anything else you choose to include in your message.
Basic technical information may also be processed by the website host for security, reliability and abuse prevention, such as an IP address, browser type, requested page and time of access.
3. How the enquiry forms work
When you submit an enquiry form, the details are transmitted securely to the website, recorded as a protected enquiry record and emailed to Tarryn's Google Workspace inbox. The website displays a confirmation and reference number only after the submission has been received.
4. Why information is used
- To respond to enquiries and discuss possible services or speaking engagements.
- To prepare proposals and take steps requested before entering into an agreement.
- To deliver agreed services and maintain appropriate client records.
- To protect the website, prevent misuse and meet legal or professional obligations.
The processing basis may be your consent, steps taken at your request before a contract, performance of a contract, a legal obligation or a legitimate business interest that does not unfairly override your rights.
5. Sharing and cross-border processing
Personal information is not sold. It may be processed by service providers that support website hosting, protected enquiry storage, transactional email, security, professional advice or contracted service delivery. Google Workspace, the website host and the transactional email provider may process information outside South Africa under their own safeguards. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or necessary to protect legal rights.
6. Retention and security
Information is kept only for as long as reasonably needed for the enquiry, service relationship, legal obligations and legitimate record-keeping. Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are used, but no internet or email transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
7. Cookies and measurement
At launch, this website does not intentionally use non-essential advertising or analytics cookies. Essential hosting and security technologies may still operate. If analytics or advertising measurement is introduced, this policy and any required consent controls will be updated.
8. Your rights
Subject to POPIA, you may ask whether your personal information is held, request access or correction, object to certain processing, withdraw consent, request deletion where appropriate or lodge a complaint. A request may require reasonable identity verification.
9. Complaints and contact
Start by emailing tarryn@tarrynmcnamara.com. You may also contact South Africa's Information Regulator through inforegulator.org.za or email POPIAComplaints@inforegulator.org.za.
10. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the website, services or legal requirements change. The latest version and effective date will appear on this page.
