This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the rights you have.

Information we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- Identifying information: your name, email address and contact / WhatsApp number.
- Vehicle and enquiry information: vehicle type or fleet size, average monthly diesel spend, the offer or service you are interested in, and any message you send us.
- Marketing consent: whether you have opted in to receive marketing, and the date and source of that consent.
- Technical and usage information: pages visited, referring website, and campaign tracking parameters (such as UTM tags), collected to understand how people find and use our site.
We only collect information relevant to responding to your enquiry, providing you with a saving estimate, scheduling your tune, and (where you have agreed) sending you marketing.
How we collect it
We collect personal information directly from you when you complete our fuel-savings calculator, booking form or contact form, and automatically through cookies and similar technologies when you browse our website.
Why we use your information
- To calculate and provide your indicative fuel-saving estimate.
- To respond to your enquiry and answer your questions.
- To schedule and deliver your on-site tune and related services.
- To send you marketing communications — only where you have given us your consent.
- To improve our website, services and marketing.
- To comply with our legal obligations.
Saving estimates
Marketing and consent
We will only send you marketing communications (such as our fuel-saving tips, offers and email series) if you have actively opted in. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking unsubscribe or emailing us at web@boostechcommercial.co.za. Withdrawing consent will not affect any booking or service you have requested.
If you submit a contact enquiry without opting in to marketing, we will use your details only to respond to that enquiry and will not add you to our marketing list.
Who we share your information with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us operate our business, under appropriate confidentiality and data-protection obligations, including:
- our email and customer-relationship (CRM) provider, Brevo, which we use to store contact details, send transactional and marketing emails and manage enquiries;
- our website hosting and analytics providers.
We may also disclose information where required by law.
Cross-border transfer
Some of our service providers (such as Brevo) may store or process your information on servers located outside South Africa. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information continues to be protected in line with POPIA.
How long we keep your information
We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, to maintain our business records, or as required by law. When it is no longer needed, we securely delete or de-identify it.
How we protect your information
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against loss, unauthorised access and misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your rights under POPIA
You have the right to:
- ask what personal information we hold about you and request access to it;
- ask us to correct or update information that is inaccurate;
- ask us to delete or destroy information we no longer have a lawful reason to keep;
- object to the processing of your information, including for direct marketing;
- withdraw consent you have previously given; and
- lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at web@boostechcommercial.co.za.
