Privacy Policy
Last updated: 14 April 2026
This privacy policy explains how Resite collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website or use our services.
“We”, “us”, “Resite” refers to Resite, operated as a sole proprietorship based in Cape Town, South Africa. “You”, “your” refers to visitors to our website and clients using our services.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide: If you contact us or submit a form on our website, we may collect your name, email address, business name, and any other details you choose to share.
Information collected automatically: When you visit our website, we may collect basic usage data such as pages visited, referring website, browser type, device type, and approximate location (country/city level). This data is collected through analytics tools and does not personally identify you.
Local storage:We store your theme preference (light or dark mode) in your browser’s local storage. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your enquiries and provide our services
- Improve our website and understand how visitors use it
- Communicate with you about our services
- Ensure the security and performance of our website
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
3. Client Website Data
When we build and host websites for our clients, we may process data on their behalf — for example, if a client’s website includes a contact form or analytics.
In these cases, the client is the data controller and we act as a data processor. We only process this data as necessary to provide the hosting service. We do not use client website data for any purpose other than delivering the service.
If you have questions about how a specific website handles your data, please contact the website owner directly.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
Our website currently uses local storage only to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode). We do not use tracking cookies.
If we introduce cookies in the future (for example, for analytics), we will update this policy accordingly.
5. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services to host our website and analyse usage patterns. These services may process data on our behalf in accordance with their own privacy policies.
We do not share your personal information with third parties except as necessary to provide our services (for example, hosting infrastructure).
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. Contact form submissions are retained for a reasonable period to allow us to respond and follow up, and are deleted when no longer needed.
You may request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us.
7. Your Rights
Under applicable data protection laws, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) in South Africa, you have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Delete your personal information
- Object to the processing of your personal information
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the details below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
8. Business Outreach
We may contact businesses using publicly available information to introduce our services. If you receive communication from us and would prefer not to be contacted again, let us know and we will remove you from our outreach list promptly.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected individuals.
