Privacy notice

Who is responsible

Mathari is made by JP Botes Publishing (Pty) Ltd. The company is the responsible party for this website.

The Information Officer is Jacq Botes. Write to jqbotes@gmail.com about anything in this notice.

What this notice covers

This notice covers this website, mathari.co.za. It does not cover the game, which is not offered through this website yet.

What we collect, and why

The website has no forms and no accounts. We receive personal information only when you send us an email from one of the three links on the site. Sending one is your choice, and the whole website works without it.

An email gives us your email address, your name if your mail app adds it, what you write, and whether you are a parent, a teacher or from a school if you tell us. We ask for nothing else.

Each kind of email is used for one thing.

• A demo request is used to arrange your demo. It never puts you on a list.
• A question is used to answer your question.
• A request to join the early-access list puts your email address on that list. We use the list to email you when early access opens. Sending the request is how you give your consent, and your email is our record of it.

The early-access list

You can ask to be taken off the list at any time by replying to any email from us or writing to jqbotes@gmail.com. We take you off at once. We keep a note of addresses that asked to be taken off, so that we do not email them again.

Every email we send to the list says who it is from and how to stop it.

Children

We ask for nothing about a child, so please leave a child’s name, age and grade out of your email.

The dashboards on this website show an invented sample class. They hold no real child’s information.

What the website itself records

• The website sets no cookies and uses no trackers.
• The fonts, pictures and videos are our own files. Nothing is fetched from another website.
• The sample dashboards remember what you click in them, such as a goal you set, in your own browser’s storage. It stays on your device and is never sent to us. Clearing the site’s data in your browser removes it.
• The website is hosted by Vercel. Like every web host, Vercel receives your device’s internet address when it sends you a page.

Where it is kept, and who else receives it

Your email is kept in a Gmail mailbox. Gmail is a mail service run by Google. Google and the website’s host may store information on computers outside South Africa.

We do not sell your information and we do not pass it to anyone else.

How long we keep it

A demo request or a question is deleted 12 months after our last email to you about it.

Your address comes off the early-access list when you ask. The whole list is deleted once it has served its purpose.

Your rights

You can ask what information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to our using it, and withdraw your consent. Write to jqbotes@gmail.com.

You can also complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa: inforegulator.org.za, POPIAComplaints@inforegulator.org.za.

Access to records

To ask for a record we hold, write to the Information Officer at jqbotes@gmail.com.
