Visiting our site means sharing a bit of information, even if that’s just the fact that you clicked on it. Here’s a straightforward look at what we collect and why, no legal padding.
Information You Provide to Us
When you contact us through our contact form or by email, you’ll usually share your name, email address and your message. We use this only to reply to you and deal with whatever you got in touch about. We use this information for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and handling your request.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we automatically pick up some basic details when you visit, things like browser type, device, general location and which pages you viewed. This helps us understand how the site is used and where it needs improving. This information is generally used to understand website usage and does not by itself tell us who you are.
Cookies
We use cookies to help the site run smoothly and to understand visitor behaviour. You can switch these off in your browser settings, though some features may not work as well afterward.
Comments
If you leave a comment on one of our articles, we’ll collect your name and email address along with the comment itself. This is used to display your comment and, if needed, to follow up with you. We don’t share this information with anyone else.
Third Party Links and Services
Our articles often link to other websites, other outlets, government pages, organisations we’ve referenced. Once you click through, their privacy policy applies, not ours.
How We Use Information
Whatever we collect is used to run and improve South Africa Tribune, respond to your messages, and understand how the site is performing. Nothing beyond that.
How We Protect Information
We take reasonable steps to keep your information secure, though no website can guarantee complete protection. We’d encourage being mindful of what you share online generally.
How Long We Keep Information
We only keep information as long as it’s needed. Contact messages are kept until the matter is resolved. Comments remain on the site unless you ask us to remove one.
Your Privacy Rights
You may have the right to ask what information we hold about you, request a correction, or ask us to delete it. Just get in touch and we’ll help.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this page from time to time. Any changes will appear here along with the updated date.
