Privacy

Advertalk is a creative studio in South Africa. For this website, we are the responsible party under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). You can reach us at info@advertalk.co.za.

• No cookies. This website doesn’t set any cookies, whether for tracking, advertising or anything else.

• No analytics or tracking. There are no analytics tools, tracking pixels or advertising tags. We don’t know who visits or what you click.

• Fonts stay on our site. Our fonts are stored with the website itself, so loading a page doesn’t send anything to Google Fonts or any other font service.

• Hosting. This website is hosted by Vercel. To deliver pages and protect the site from abuse, Vercel’s servers automatically handle basic technical details, such as your IP address, your browser type and the page you asked for, and may keep them in short-term logs. This can happen on servers outside South Africa. We don’t use these details to identify you.

The form on our home page doesn’t send anything to us and doesn’t save anything. When you tap “Send to Madelein” or “Send to Caru”, your message is placed in a WhatsApp link, so WhatsApp (run by Meta) receives it as the app or page opens, before you choose to send it. When you tap “Prefer email?”, your email app opens with your message filled in. Nothing reaches us unless you press send there.

When you message, call or email us, we receive your name, your number or email address and whatever you tell us. We use this only to reply, to send you a quote and to do the work you ask us to do. We don’t sell it, and we don’t give it to anyone for their marketing. We keep it only as long as we need it for your enquiry and any work that follows, or as long as the law requires.

WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook belong to Meta, and your email app belongs to your email provider. When you use them to contact us, or follow a link from this site to them, their own privacy policies apply.

Under POPIA you can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, and object to us using it. Email info@advertalk.co.za and we’ll help.

If you’re not happy with how we’ve handled your information, you can complain to the Information Regulator at inforegulator.org.za (opens in a new tab).

If anything here changes, we’ll update this page and the date below.
