This is the privacy statement of Evolve Financial Services. In this document, “we” or “us” refer to Evolve Financial Services.

EFS is an authorised financial services provider with FSP number 45303. Our office is at 51 Shannon Road, Krugersdorp.

This is a statement to tell you our policy about all information that we record about you and how this information is used and disclosed. It covers both information that could identify you and information that could not.

We are extremely concerned to protect your privacy and confidentiality. We understand that all users of our web site are quite rightly concerned to know that their data will not be disclosed to any third party except as provided in this policy and our terms and conditions. Our policy is both specific and strict. It complies with the South African law [and with the laws of all jurisdictions of which we are aware]. If you think our policy falls short of your expectations or that we are failing to abide by our policy, do please tell us.

We regret that if there are one or more points below with which you are not happy, your only recourse is to leave our web site immediately.

Except as set out below and in this policy, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to any other third party, any personally identifiable information collected at this site. However, we may contact you ourselves to market new products, or inform you of possible changes you can make to your existing products.

Here is a list of the information we collect from you, either through our web site or because you give it to us in some other way, and why it is necessary to collect it:

1.Business and personal information

This includes basic identification and contact information, such as your name, identification number and contact details and also includes all information given to us in the course of your business and ours, such as information you give us in your capacity as a visitor on our website. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the information and of the terms of our relationship. It is not used for any other purpose. We expect you to reciprocate this policy.

This information is used:

  • to provide you with the services which you request; for this reason your information will be disclosed to our employees in order to do their job.
  • for verifying your identity for security purposes;
  • when given consent, for marketing our services and products; or inform you of possible changes you can make to your existing products.
  • when given permission, shared with authorised financial service providers and affiliates for the purpose of offering you with worthy financial advice, a product or service. Affiliates will also treat your information as confidential.
  • information which does not identify any individual may be used in a general way by us or third parties, to provide class information, for example relating to demographics or usage of a particular page or service.
  • Your IP address is being recorded for your own security.

We keep information, which forms part of our business record for any timeframe decided by us.

When we obtain information from you specifically to enable you to receive a service offered on our web site by some other person, we assume that in giving us your information, you are also giving us permission to pass it to the relevant person.

  1. Your domain name and e-mail address

This information is recognised by our servers and the pages that you visit are recorded. We shall not under any circumstances, divulge your e-mail address to any person who is not an employee or contractor of ours and who does not need to know, either generally or specifically. This information is used:

  • to correspond with you or deal with you as you expect;
  • in a collective way not referable to any particular individual, for the purpose of quality control and improvement of our site;
  • to send you news or promotional messages about the services to which you have signed up;
  • to tell you about other of our services or services of sister web sites and or affiliates.
  • A website visitor can opt out of news or promotional messages at any time they please.
  1. Website usage information

We may use software embedded in our website (such as JavaScript) to collect information about pages you view and how you have reached them, what you do when you visit a page, the length of time you remain on the page, and how we perform in providing content to you. We do not presently associate such information with an identifiable person.

  1. Note on padlock symbols and other trust marks

Many companies offer certification and an icon or other small graphic to prove to site visitors that the site is safe. Some certify to a high level of safety. Others are more concerned to take our money than to provide a useful service. We do not handle information about your credit card so do not subscribe to any such service.

  1. Third party content

Our web site is a publishing medium in that anyone may register and then publish information about himself or some other person. We do not moderate or control what is posted. If you complain about any of the content on our web site, we shall investigate your complaint. If we feel, it may be justified, we shall remove it while we investigate. Free speech is a fundamental right, so we have to make a judgment as to whose right will be obstructed: yours, or that of the person who posted the content which offends you. If we think, your complaint is vexatious or without any basis, we shall not correspond with you about it.

  1. Information we obtain from third parties

Although we do not disclose your personal information to any third party (except as set out in this notice), we do receive data which is indirectly made up from your personal information, from software services such as Google Analytics and others. No such information is identifiable to you.
