This website is operated by the Office of Dr Malusi Gigaba. Its purpose is to provide public access to Dr Gigaba's record of service, published writing, public engagements, and contact channels. It is not a commercial website and does not carry advertising.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what your rights are under the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA).
What personal information we collect
We collect personal information only where you voluntarily provide it through one of the following channels:
- Newsletter subscription form — first name, last name, and email address.
- Bookings enquiry form — name, organisation, email address, telephone number, event details, and date.
- Contact form — name, email address, and the content of your message.
We do not collect sensitive personal information (as defined under POPIA), biometric data, or financial account details. We do not use tracking cookies beyond those set by our analytics providers (see § 05 below).
How we use your personal information
Personal information submitted through this website is used solely for the purpose for which it was provided:
- Newsletter subscriptions are used to deliver the newsletter to your inbox.
- Bookings enquiries are used to respond to your request and, where applicable, to confirm arrangements.

We do not sell, rent, share, or transfer your personal information to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. We do not use your information for automated profiling or decision-making.

These services may set cookies on your device. No personally identifiable information is transmitted to these services through standard site usage. For more information, refer to Google's Privacy Policy.
