Privacy policy

This notice covers easyown.co.za, the website of EasyOwn by Rental Buddies at 27 Botha Ave, Lyttelton, Centurion, South Africa. For questions or privacy requests, call EasyOwn on 012 881 6579 or use WhatsApp 069 945 0992.

Browsing and technical processing

Our hosting service processes technical information needed to deliver and protect the website, such as IP addresses, browser information and website requests. Necessary website preferences may be stored on your device. Technical information is processed to operate the site, keep it secure and diagnose faults. Disabling necessary browser features may affect how the website works.

Basic website analytics

EasyOwn uses Google Analytics automatically on selected public catalogue and information pages to understand page views and which types of contact links visitors choose. There is no analytics consent popup. You can turn analytics off below without losing access to the catalogue or our contact details. A previous decline, Global Privacy Control, Do Not Track or a browser-level Google Analytics opt-out prevents this analytics from starting.

Our analytics events contain a fixed public page address without query strings or fragments, a fixed page name, the referring website’s origin and, for contact clicks, only the channel type (phone, email, WhatsApp or contact page). We do not include names, telephone numbers, email addresses, messages, form entries or payment details in these events. Contact-link clicks are not recorded as purchases or completed enquiries.

Google receives technical information such as browser and device information, network requests and analytics identifiers. Analytics can use cookies to distinguish visits. These identifiers and technical details may be personal information under the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA); excluding contact details does not make all analytics anonymous. Advertising storage, advertising personalisation and Google Signals are disabled in this integration.

Turn website analytics off or on

These controls apply to this browser on this device. Turning analytics off stops new events from this integration and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies; it does not erase information already received by Google. Re-enabling does not override your browser’s privacy signals or Google Analytics opt-out.

Your current analytics setting will appear here when website scripts are available.

Turn off website analytics Re-enable website analytics

Your explicit choice is stored locally when your browser permits it. A saved decline remains effective until you re-enable analytics or remove this website’s local storage. Clearing cookies alone may not remove that choice. If local preferences cannot be read, this integration does not start automatically. If scripts are blocked, these controls cannot run; browser privacy controls remain available. Automatic analytics does not record an affirmative consent choice and does not grant permission for marketing messages.

Google processing and transfers outside South Africa

Google may process analytics information on servers outside South Africa. Protections and legal rules in other countries may differ from those in South Africa. POPIA section 72 sets conditions for transfers of personal information outside the Republic, including adequate protection through applicable law, binding corporate rules or a binding agreement, or another permitted ground. This notice does not certify that a particular transfer assessment has been completed. See Google’s privacy policy for its processing, safeguards and international-transfer information.

Information you share when contacting us

If you contact EasyOwn, we use the information you choose to provide to respond to your enquiry and discuss products, orders or services. Providing enquiry details is voluntary, but without relevant contact or enquiry information we may not be able to respond. Telephone, email and WhatsApp links open separate services whose own privacy terms also apply. Website analytics controls do not control those services or authorise cross-brand referrals or marketing messages.

Storage and retention

This integration configures analytics cookies to expire after 60 days without automatic renewal. Cookie expiry is not deletion of information already collected. Google applies the property’s configured retention settings to information it receives. Specific server-log, enquiry and Google account retention periods are not stated here because they have not been confirmed. Contact EasyOwn for information about records held and applicable retention requirements.

POPIA and your rights

POPIA requires lawful, reasonable and proportionate processing for specified purposes, appropriate safeguards and openness. Section 11 provides for consent and other permitted grounds, including processing necessary for pursuing legitimate interests. Default-on analytics is not evidence that you have consented, and this notice is not a declaration that a lawful-basis assessment or compliance certification has been completed.

• You may ask whether EasyOwn holds personal information about you and request access under section 23, subject to proof of identity, applicable procedures and lawful limits.
• You may request correction, deletion or destruction under section 24 where information is inaccurate, irrelevant, excessive, out of date, incomplete, misleading or unlawfully obtained, or where retention is no longer authorised. Deletion is not unconditional where retention remains lawful or required.
• You may object to applicable processing on reasonable grounds relating to your particular situation under section 11(3), in the prescribed manner, subject to its statutory conditions; direct-marketing objections have their own protections. Where processing relies on your consent, you may withdraw it without retrospectively changing the lawfulness of earlier processing.

Use the EasyOwn contact details above to make a request or ask how it should be directed. You may also lodge a complaint with South Africa’s Information Regulator, including through its official complaint portal. The Regulator’s enquiries address is enquiries@inforegulator.org.za.

Read the official POPIA text, particularly sections 9 to 14, 18, 23 to 24, 72 and 74. The responsible party’s full legal name, address and Information Officer details still need confirmation; this notice does not supply unverified details.
