What we stand for
Privacy is the right of individuals to determine for themselves when, how and to what extent information about themselves is communicated to others. All information about an individual is fundamentally his or her property to communicate or withhold as desired.

No one should have more control over your information than you!

eIntact's Privacy Policy & Statement
At eIntact we recognise the individual's right to freedom of choice. Inherent to one's freedom of choice is the right to choose "in private". Many countries in the world have adopted Bills of Rights with the express purpose of entrenching basic human rights. In so doing the individual's rights to privacy are protected. As the "Web" and Internet access begins to play a more important role in our lives the right to privacy is becoming increasingly important.

Our policies at eIntact have been adapted and will continue to be adapted to the changing flux of local and international law. The Internet stretches across international and national boundaries and every effort has been made to accommodate these changes. We have taken the online privacy of users to the highest levels. Our guarantees are effective and comply with the standards of various privacy organisations that are burgeoning on the net.

In order to for you to take charge of your online privacy we need you to set up a user account with eIntact. This is completely free. You are free to choose any user name you wish - providing it has not been taken already, as well as a password of your choice.

We do request a valid email address; this is used to mail your account details if say you forget your password and advise you of service enhancements at eIntact. You not receive unsolicited (spam) mail from eIntact.

We cannot and shall not make any representation, or misrepresentation in any manner, expressly or by implication, about the collection or use of such information from or about our users. eIntact will never sell or give your email address to any other organisation.

eIntact is designed and dedicated to protect the individual user's rights to complete anonymity. We recognise legally entrenched rights of users to have their online identities protected from the scrutiny of those who may seek to use the information at their disposal for their gain. Our policy and statement goals are highlighted below:

Our highest values are placed on privacy. No information that is NOT needed is requested from users. Our definition of personal identifying information shall include, amongst others, first and last names, physical address, telephone numbers, identification or social security numbers, email addresses or any information of any type whatsoever that would be capable of identifying a specific individual. Wherever any such information is required (e.g. your email address) it will be clearly flagged and remedies will be available to the user in the event of breach of privacy. The only possible breach of privacy will be through due court procedure in the form of a legally issued subpoena or Court Interdict or Directive.

Any and all logs or data that are retained on the eIntact servers is purely for the purposes of security monitoring and performance tuning of the servers. These records are used ONLY for statistical analysis and are thereafter destroyed. For the purposes of saving space these records are NOT retained for any length of time.

Children:
The words "children" or "child" shall mean a person aged 18 years or under. The definition of a parent includes a legal guardian. No information supplied by a child shall be used without express parental consent. This will mean a parent's affirmative agreement will have to be obtained by a signed statement transmitted by postal mail or facsimile; authorisation via a secure server; email accompanied by an electronically verifiable signature; a procedure that is specifically authorized by statute, regulation, or guideline issued by the Commission; or such other procedure that ensures verified parental consent and ensures the identity of the parent or user. Any information from a child, unless we have the above-mentioned authority, shall be deemed to be invalid and discarded.
