Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 August 2026. This policy explains how THETRENDSETTA (PTY) LTD ("we", "us"), a company registered in South Africa, handles personal information collected through THETRENDSETTA OS and related pages.

1. Information we collect

  • Account data: name, email address, password hash, workspace details.
  • Lead data: emails and form fields submitted to capture pages you publish.
  • Billing data: plan, transaction references and status from our payment processor.
  • Usage data: pages visited, feature events, device/browser info, IP address.
  • Content you create: funnels, AI prompts and generated output, documents and files.

2. How we use it

To provide and secure the platform, authenticate you, deliver purchased features, process payments, send service and transactional emails, provide support, prevent abuse, and improve the product through aggregated analytics.

3. Legal basis and consent

We process personal information under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) on the basis of contract performance, legitimate interest, or your consent. Marketing emails are sent only where you have opted in, and every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link.

4. Leads you collect

When you use lead capture or funnel features, you are the responsible party for the personal information of the people who submit your forms, and we act as an operator on your behalf. You must have a lawful basis to collect that data and honour opt-out requests from your own subscribers.

5. Sharing and processors

We do not sell personal information. We share it only with service providers necessary to run the platform — cloud hosting and database providers, our payment processor (PayFast), email delivery providers, and AI model providers used to generate content you request. Each processes data only on our instructions.

6. Storage, retention and security

Data is stored on managed cloud infrastructure with encryption in transit and access controls, including row-level database policies that isolate each workspace. We retain account and lead data while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet legal and accounting obligations, then delete or anonymise it.

7. International transfers

Some providers process data outside South Africa. Where that happens we rely on providers that offer protections comparable to POPIA.

8. Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, object to processing, or withdraw consent. Email hello@thetrendsetta.com and we will respond within a reasonable period. You may also lodge a complaint with the South African Information Regulator.

9. Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and browser storage to keep you signed in, remember preferences and measure page and funnel performance. Blocking them may break sign-in and other core features.

10. Children

The platform is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

11. Changes and contact

We may update this policy and will post the new date at the top. Questions or privacy requests: hello@thetrendsetta.com.
