We at Kenings Car Van and Truck Hire (Pty) Ltd (“Kenings”) are committed to protecting our clients’ privacy and ensuring that their Personal Information is collected and used appropriately, lawfully and transparently.
This Privacy Notice sets out briefly how we collect and process your Personal Information as a client or prospective client in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (“POPI”). “Personal Information” has the meaning given to it in POPI, generally including any personal information that identifies a person.
This Privacy Notice also relates to third parties who are not our clients, but whose Personal Information is processed by us in connection with the provision of our services to our clients, for example additional drivers.
If you provide Personal Information to us about another person, you must inform that person about this Privacy Notice and get their permission (where possible) for sharing their Personal Information with us.
It is important that you read this Privacy Notice so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your information.
Kennings is a “responsible party” under POPI and, as such, is responsible for the Personal Information we have about you and registered with the South African Information Regulator.
We have appointed an Information Officer who is responsible for overseeing Kening’s compliance with POPI. If you have any questions about this Privacy Notice or any of Kennings’s privacy practices, please contact our Information Officer using the details set out below.
