Privacy & POPIA
Plain terms, because a privacy notice nobody reads protects nobody.
RISE Mzansi is a campaign of The People’s Collective. Our full Privacy Policy and PAIA and POPI Manual, prepared under section 51 of the Promotion of Access to Information Act, is the authoritative document and takes precedence over the summary below.

What this site does with a form you fill in
The Manual sets out the records the organisation holds and how to request them. This part describes what happens to the details you enter here.
What we collect
Only what a form asks for: your name, contact details, the municipality and ward you live in, and the answers you give. We record which version of which form you filled in, and when.
Why we collect it
For the purpose you agreed to when you ticked the consent box, and nothing else. Consenting to hear about volunteering does not mean we may send you fundraising mail — those are separate purposes and we ask for each one.
How long we keep it
Form submissions for three years, or a year after the campaign ends. Consent records for seven years, because proof of consent has to outlive the processing it authorised. Anonymous website analytics indefinitely.
Who else sees it
The RISE Mzansi organiser for your municipality; our CRM provider, which stores your name and contact details so an organiser can reach you; our email provider, which sends what you asked to receive; and our data warehouse, where submissions are analysed. All of them process it on our instructions. We do not sell or rent your details to anyone, ever.
Your rights
You may ask what we hold on you, correct it, or have it deleted. You may object to direct marketing at any time and we must stop. Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe, and it works immediately.
How to reach us
Write to the Information Officer at info@risemzansi.org. We respond to data requests within 30 days, as POPIA requires.
