SITE POLICY · UPDATED 13 NOVEMBER 2026

Privacy policy

This policy explains how BellvilleSouth.co.za handles information when you browse this independent community website or contact the publisher. Questions can be sent to info@bellvillesouth.co.za.

Information you send us

If you use a contact, transport or listing enquiry form, we collect the information you enter, such as your name, email address, phone number, school or area details, subject and message. We use it to respond to you and handle your enquiry. Do not include sensitive personal information that is not needed for the request.

How form messages are handled

When online delivery is configured, form submissions are sent through our hosting platform and email delivery provider to the publisher’s contact inbox. Those providers process data to deliver and protect the service under their own privacy terms. Website hosting and security systems may also process technical data such as IP address, browser type and request time in routine logs. We do not sell enquiry information. We retain messages only as long as reasonably needed to respond, keep business records or meet legal obligations.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

At the date above, this rebuilt website does not intentionally set advertising or analytics cookies. Essential technical storage may be used by hosting or security services. If analytics or advertising tools are added, this policy and any required consent controls will be updated before they are used.

If Google AdSense or other third-party advertising is enabled, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve, personalize, limit and measure ads based on visits to this and other websites. Visitors can review or change Google ad personalization choices at Google Ads Settings. More information about Google’s advertising cookies is available in Google’s advertising technologies policy. Other ad vendors and their privacy links will be identified here when selected. Where applicable, a consent management platform will be provided before personalized advertising is served.

External websites

Our pages may link to government departments, businesses, maps and other external websites. Their privacy practices and content are controlled by those organisations, so please read their own notices.

Your choices and requests

You may ask us to correct or delete information you sent, subject to records we must retain. Email info@bellvillesouth.co.za and describe your request. Applicable privacy rights depend on your location and law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this notice when the site’s features or advertising arrangements change. The date at the top indicates the latest revision.
