We may share your personal information with:
• other divisions or companies within the group of companies to which we belong so as to provide joint content and services like registration, for transactions and customer support, to help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts and violations of our policies, and to guide decisions about our products, services, and communications (they will only use this information to send you marketing communications if you have requested their goods or services);
• an affiliate, in which case we will seek to require the affiliates to honour this privacy policy;
• our goods or services providers under contract who help provide certain goods or services or help with parts of our business operations, including fraud prevention, bill collection, marketing, technology services (our contracts dictate that these goods or services providers only use your information in connection with the goods or services they supply or services they perform for us and not for their own benefit);
• credit bureaus to report account information, as permitted by law;
• third parties when required by law; and
• other third parties who provide us with relevant services where appropriate.
We will only share your information to fulfil our obligation to you. Your information will only be shared with the same privacy standards.
We may disclose your personal information as required by law or governmental audit.
We may disclose personal information if required:
• by a subpoena or court order;
• to comply with any law;
• to protect the safety of any individual or the general public; and
• to prevent violation of our customer relationship terms.
We will not sell personal information. No personal information will be disclosed to anyone except as provided in this privacy policy.
We may disclose aggregate statistics (information about the customer population in general terms) about the personal information for research and product enhancement purposes.
We may need to disclose personal information to our employees that require the personal information to do their jobs. These include our responsible management, human resources, accounting, audit, compliance, information technology, or other personnel. Our employees are under obligations to process personal information lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
If we undergo a change in ownership, or a merger with, acquisition by, or sale of assets to, another entity, we may assign our rights to the personal information we process to a successor, purchaser, or separate entity. We will disclose the transfer on the website. If you are concerned about your personal information migrating to a new owner, you may request us to delete your personal information.
BEE123 may share Client Data (including user details of Client’s end users, if necessary) with its personnel who assist BEE123 with providing the BEE123 Portal and Services. BEE123 will do so only through a written agreement with the affiliate or contractor that imposes the same obligations on them as are imposed on BEE123.
We take the security of personal information very seriously and always do our best to comply with applicable data protection laws by maintaining reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
We make sure our website is hosted in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other advanced security measures to prevent interference or access from outside intruders. We authorise access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfil their job responsibilities. We implement disaster recovery procedures where appropriate.
Please note the following:
The third parties whose systems we link to are responsible for the security of information while it is collected by, stored on, or passing through the systems under their control.
We will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that our website and your information is not compromised. However, we cannot guarantee that no harmful code will enter our website (for example viruses, bugs, trojan horses, spyware or adware). If we experience a security breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and the Information Regulator where required by law. You should be aware of the risks associated with using websites.
If you experience a problem or loss that is caused by information you provided to us, your computer being compromised in some way or by something beyond our control, we cannot take responsibility for causing the problem. We will, however, do our best to help you if we can.

BEE123 may store Client Data on BEE123’s computer servers, which servers BEE123’s personnel may control, host, and manage, unless the parties agree otherwise in a proposal.
We generally process and store personal information in South Africa. Our data centres are located in South Africa, and we do not intentionally transfer personal information outside of South Africa. In limited cases, personal information may be accessed or transmitted outside of South Africa when a customer or authorised user accesses the software from another country. In these cases, the transfer occurs as a result of the customer's access and not because we host or process data outside of South Africa. If we do transfer to another country in future, we will only do so where the transfer is necessary to provide our services or support our operations, and where the recipient country is subject to laws, binding corporate rules, or binding agreements that provide an adequate level of protection for personal information, as required under POPIA.
Client Data will remain wherever BEE123 places it initially, unless BEE123 has to transfer it to another country to comply with BEE123’s obligations to Client. Client consents to BEE123 transferring it cross border if necessary for the purpose of providing the Services.
