Privacy Policy & POPIA Notice

How we handle personal information.

This policy describes how Nexus Zero collects, uses, discloses, retains and protects personal information under the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013.

1. Introduction

Nexus Zero (Pty) Ltd ("Nexus Zero", "we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the personal information of visitors, partners, prospective collaborators and other stakeholders who engage with us through this website or otherwise.

This Privacy Policy and POPIA Notice explains how personal information is collected, used, shared, retained and protected in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 ("POPIA") and applicable South African law.

2. Information Collected

Nexus Zero collects only information reasonably required to evaluate enquiries, potential partnerships, project-development opportunities and submitted technical or commercial capabilities.

Information collected may include identifying details, contact information, company information, project descriptions, technical documents, commercial information and correspondence submitted by you or on your behalf.

3. How Personal Information Is Used

We use personal information to assess collaboration opportunities, conduct preliminary technical or commercial analysis, respond to enquiries, maintain records, protect website security and comply with legal obligations.

Nexus Zero does not sell, rent or trade personal information.

4. Lawful Basis for Processing

Personal information is processed on the basis of your consent, the performance or preparation of a contract, our legitimate interests in evaluating potential ventures and partnerships, or compliance with a legal obligation, as recognised by POPIA.

5. Disclosure and Sharing

Information may be shared only with authorised Nexus Zero personnel, professional advisors, prospective project specialists or service providers who require access for a legitimate evaluation purpose and are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.

We do not transfer personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

6. Confidentiality of Partnership and Project Submissions

Documents and information submitted in connection with a partnership enquiry or project opportunity will be handled with appropriate discretion and used only for evaluation of the enquiry.

Submitted documents will not be published or used for unrelated purposes. Submission of information does not, of itself, create a contractual confidentiality obligation or non-disclosure agreement between the parties.

7. Security Safeguards

Nexus Zero maintains reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

8. Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or as required or permitted by law.
