We require all such third parties to treat your personal information in accordance with the law and only allow them to process your personal data for specific, necessary purposes. Where we have outsourced a function or activity to an external service provider, we will only disclose personal data that the service provider needs to undertake that function or activity, and we require external service providers to agree to keep your personal data secure in accordance with the relevant law. We will not share your personal data with any third party for that third party’s marketing purposes unless we have obtained your consent to do so.
Please be aware we may disclose information provided if we are required to do so by law, or if there is an honest, good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to protect the rights of Red Energy PTY LTD., that any portion of our policies are being violated, to prevent or mitigate a belief that a crime may be being committed, or to protect that safety or rights of our other uses. This information may also be shared as a result of the sale of RED ENERGY PTY LTD. or any branch or brand of the company, as well as with any joint venture partners or affiliate marketers, should we deem it necessary to share such information.

This Website, and the servers and parties which made this Website available on a global scale, are located within and operate within South Africa.

By collecting and using your personal data, We are acting as a data controller, meaning we determine what information is collected, how long it is stored, and what the Personal Information will be used for. We utilize a third-party company to act as a data processor, which stores information such as names and email addresses that make up our email list. To the best of our ability, we have researched and concluded that all third party data processors we use have advised us they are compliant with the General Data Protection Regulations as well.
Information Protection & Security
We use commercially reasonable methods to safeguard your personal data, including that which you provide to use, and that which we collect automatically, by using reasonable online security measures, and sharing your data with reputable third-party vendors that are compliant with generally accepted security and safety measures.

Should We become aware that a data breach has occurred, We will timely notify the necessary parties with as much information as we have available.

Should our Website be tampered with, you understand that your personal information may be accessed by these unauthorized parties. You agree that we are not responsible for any such actions, and acknowledge you will hold us harmless should your information become intercepted in this way without our knowledge, permission, or consent, which includes a release of any and all claims related to the use of such information by such an unauthorized party.
