Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 November 2026.
Who We Are and Our Role as Data Controller
FinDraxy.info operates as the data controller for the personal information processed through this entertainment magazine website focused on celebrity culture and entertainment in South Africa. We determine the purposes and means of processing visitor data in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA). Our registered address is 23 Morris Street East, Woodmead, Sandton, 2196, South Africa and we can be contacted at help@findraxy.info for any data protection enquiries.
Scope of This Privacy Notice
This notice applies to all individuals who access or interact with our website, including readers, subscribers to our blog content, and visitors who submit enquiries via the contact form. It covers data collected from South African residents as well as international users who engage with our celebrity culture and entertainment coverage. The notice explains our practices for both the main site and the enabled blog section.
Categories of Personal Data and Their Sources
We collect identification details such as names and email addresses when visitors use the contact form or subscribe to updates. Usage data including IP addresses, browser types, and page interaction logs are obtained automatically through server logs. Content preferences and reading history are gathered from blog interactions. Sources include direct input from users, cookies placed on the device, and third-party analytics services that supply aggregated insights without identifying individuals directly.
Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases
Data is processed to deliver relevant celebrity interviews and entertainment articles, which relies on legitimate interest. Contact form submissions are handled to respond to enquiries under the legal basis of consent or contractual necessity. Blog subscriptions are managed to send updates based on consent. Compliance with South African tax and corporate laws provides the basis for retaining certain records. Each purpose is assessed to ensure processing remains proportionate and necessary.
Requirement to Provide Data and Consequences
Supplying contact details through the form is voluntary, yet without an email address we cannot respond to specific queries about celebrity features. Reading the blog does not require registration, but opting out of all cookies may limit personalised recommendations. Failure to provide information where legally required, such as for fraud prevention, could restrict access to certain interactive elements.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies to maintain session preferences and analyse traffic patterns on our entertainment content. Essential cookies operate without consent while others require affirmative agreement via the site-wide cookie banner. A separate Cookie Policy provides full details on types, durations, and management options; please refer to that document for comprehensive information.
Processors, Recipients and Legal Disclosures
Service providers including hosting platforms, content delivery networks and email delivery services act as processors under written agreements that restrict their use of data. Categories include analytics providers and cloud storage vendors. We may disclose information when required by South African law, court orders or to protect against fraud, always minimising the scope of shared data.
International Transfers and Safeguards
Some processors are located outside South Africa. Transfers occur only to jurisdictions with adequate protection or under standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Regulator. We assess each recipient for equivalent safeguards before any data leaves the country.
Data Retention Periods
Contact form data is retained for 24 months after the last interaction unless a longer period is needed for legal claims. Blog subscription records remain active until consent is withdrawn. Server logs are kept for 12 months for security analysis. Criteria for extension include ongoing investigations or regulatory requirements under POPIA.
Security Measures and Data Minimisation
Reasonable technical and organisational steps such as encryption in transit, access controls and regular audits protect stored information. We collect only the minimum data necessary for each stated purpose and conduct periodic reviews to delete or anonymise records no longer required.
Your Data Subject Rights
Under POPIA you may request access to your personal information, correction of inaccuracies, deletion where appropriate, and restriction of processing. To exercise these rights please email help@findraxy.info with sufficient detail to verify your identity. We aim to respond within 30 days as required by law.
Withdrawing Consent and Objecting to Marketing
Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time by contacting help@findraxy.info or using unsubscribe links in emails. You can also object to direct marketing or profiling for entertainment recommendations. Withdrawal does not affect prior lawful processing.
Right to Complain to the Supervisory Authority
If you believe your rights have been infringed you may lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa. Contact details are available on their official website. We encourage first attempting resolution directly with us at help@findraxy.info.
Children and Age Restrictions
Our content targets adult audiences interested in celebrity culture. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18. If we become aware that data from a minor has been submitted we will delete it promptly upon verification.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We do not engage in solely automated decisions that produce legal or significant effects. Limited profiling may occur to suggest blog articles based on reading history, but users retain the ability to opt out via cookie settings or direct request.
Changes to This Policy
We review and update this notice periodically to reflect changes in law or business operations. The effective date appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
