How we handle the personal information you share with us through this website, in line with South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).
This website is operated by Aventus Aero SA (“Aventus Aero”, “we”, “us”). For the personal information described in this policy, we are the responsible party as defined in POPIA. Our Information Officer is Deon Bezuidenhout, who can be contacted through the form on this website.
We only collect the personal information you choose to give us through our contact form: your name, optional organisation and phone number, your email address, your area of interest and your message.
To protect the form from spam, our server briefly uses your internet (IP) address to limit how many messages can be sent from one connection. We do not store it with your message. This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies.
We use your information only to reply to you, to discuss the interest you expressed (for example investment, funding, a pilot site or a future purchase), and, if you asked us to, to keep you updated on our progress. We never sell, rent or trade your personal information.
We use trusted service providers (operators under POPIA) to run this website and deliver email: Render (website hosting and the service that receives the form), SMTP2GO (email delivery), Google Workspace (our mailbox) and Google Fonts (the website’s typeface). Some of them process information outside South Africa; where this happens we rely on providers subject to protection comparable to POPIA, as required by section 72 of the Act. We will only disclose your information to anyone else if the law requires it.
We keep your messages only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any relationship that follows, or as the law requires, and then delete them.
You may ask whether we hold information about you, request a copy, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to our processing it. Just contact us through the form on this website. You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa):
