Privacy notice

Zivaro Website Check is run by Zivaro. For any privacy question or request, email [email protected].

What we collect and why

• The website address you enter and the kind of business, and what we find on that site's public pages, so we can run the check and show you the result.
• Your answers to the five questions, if you give them, so they can appear in your report.
• A one-way scrambled version of your IP address, so we can limit how many checks one connection runs. We cannot turn it back into your IP address.
• Your email address, if you ask for the full report, so we can send it. We record whether you ticked the box for tips and offers, and the exact wording you agreed to.

Sending you the report you asked for is not marketing. We only send tips and offers if you tick that box, and every one of those emails lets you unsubscribe.

How long we keep it

Check results, your answers and report requests are deleted after 30 days. If you opted in to tips and offers, we keep your email address and a short summary of your check (the site, its score and its top three problems) until you unsubscribe. If you unsubscribe, we keep your email address on a do-not-contact list so we never email you again by mistake.

Who else processes it

• Google receives the website address you enter, to run its PageSpeed Insights test.
• Resend sends report emails and processes them in the United States. That is a transfer outside South Africa under section 72 of POPIA.
• Our hosting provider runs the server and stores the database.

This website sets no cookies and loads no analytics or advertising trackers. The report email is different: Resend records when it is opened and which of its links are clicked, so we can see whether reports arrive and get read. The links pass through links.zivaro.co.za on their way to the page.

Your rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, and ask us to correct it, delete it or stop using it. If you are not happy with how we handled your information, you can complain to the Information Regulator at inforegulator.org.za or [email protected].
