Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, and the rights you hold under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
Last updated: 9 July 2026
1. Who We Are
SAS Media House ("we", "us", "our") is a strategic marketing agency based in Cape Town, South Africa, founded by Samantha Murphy. We are the responsible party (data controller) for the personal information collected through this website. If you have any questions about this policy or your personal information, contact us at samantha@sasmediahouse.com.
2. Information We Collect
We only collect the information you choose to give us — primarily when you submit an application through our contact form. This may include:
- Your name and the name of your business
- Your email address and contact number
- Your industry, location, and website URL
- Your indicated budget and services of interest
- Any additional information you share about your business and goals
We do not knowingly collect any special or sensitive personal information, and we do not collect information from anyone under the age of 18.
3. Why We Collect It & Legal Basis
We use your personal information solely to:
- Review your partnership application and assess whether we are a good fit
- Respond to your enquiry and communicate with you about our services
- Prepare a proposal or arrange a discovery call, where relevant
Our legal basis for processing is your consent (given when you submit the form) and our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries. We will not use your information for automated marketing without your permission.
4. How Your Information Is Shared
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We use a small number of trusted third-party services to operate this website:
- FormSubmit — processes our contact-form submissions and delivers them to us by email.
- Our web host — stores and serves the website.
- Google Fonts & Font Awesome (CDN) — deliver fonts and icons; these may log standard technical data such as your IP address when the page loads.
These providers process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
5. How Long We Keep It
We retain application information only for as long as needed to evaluate and respond to your enquiry, and to maintain our business records. If you would like us to delete your information, simply email us and we will do so, unless we are legally required to keep it.
6. How We Protect It
This website is served over a secure (HTTPS) connection, and we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to safeguard the information you share with us. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.
7. Your Rights Under POPIA
Under the Protection of Personal Information Act, you have the right to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you
- Request that we correct or update your information
- Request that we delete your information
- Object to or withdraw your consent to our processing
- Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at samantha@sasmediahouse.com. You may also contact the Information Regulator at inforegulator.org.za.
8. Cookies & Analytics
This website does not use tracking or advertising cookies. Some third-party resources (such as fonts and icons) may set standard technical requests required to display the page. If we introduce analytics in future, we will update this policy accordingly.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
