What personal information Mzansi Casino™ collects, why, who can see it, and the rights you have over it under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
1. Who is responsible
Mzansi Casino™ is responsible for the personal information described here. You can reach us at info@inqola.co.za, on +27 64 950 2216, or at 7 Farm Kwaggafontein, Middelburg, 1050.
Our Information Officer can be contacted at the same address.
2. What we collect
| Information | Why we need it |
|---|---|
| Name, surname and an optional nickname | To identify you, and to show teammates and officials who you are |
| Email address | To sign you in, verify your account and send messages about your team and tournaments |
| Phone number | To contact you about a tournament |
| South African ID number and date of birth | To confirm you are 18 or older and that each person holds only one account |
| The section, town and province you live in | To place you in the right town and province for the competition |
| Your team, entries, results and check-in record | To run the competition and its rankings |
| Payment confirmations | To confirm your team has paid. We do not receive or store card details |
| The time and internet address when you accept that entry fees are not refundable | As a record that you agreed before paying |
Venue owners and managers who apply to host also give us their venue’s details, contact information and the results of its inspection. Officials give us the same identity information as players.
3. How your ID number is protected
- Your ID number is encrypted before it is stored. It is never displayed anywhere on the site, to you or anyone else.
- A separate one-way code, made from your ID number, lets us check that nobody registers twice without revealing the number itself.
- At check-in, an official looks at your original ID document. The system records only that it was seen, not any copy of it.
- Venue staff see only that a player’s identity has been verified.
4. Who can see your information
| Who | What they see |
|---|---|
| The public | Team names, the venues they entered, brackets, results and rankings. Player names are not published. |
| Your teammates | The names of players on your team |
| A captain inviting a player | The name of the person whose email address they enter, and whether that person can join |
| Tournament officials | Names and teams of players at their venue, for check-in and results |
| Mzansi Casino administrators | Account and competition records needed to run the series. Not your ID number. |
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
5. Service providers
A small number of companies process information on our behalf, only to provide their service to us.
| Provider | Service | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Domains.co.za | Hosts the website and its database | South Africa |
| PayFast | Processes entry fee payments | South Africa |
| MailOps | Delivers the emails the site sends | South Africa |
Your personal information is stored and processed in South Africa. Encrypted backups are also kept in South Africa.
6. Emails we send
Only messages about your account and the competition: verifying your email, setting or resetting a password, invitations to join a team, requests from your captain, replies to your own requests, and news about places at a venue. We do not send marketing email.
7. How long we keep it
Results and rankings form the record of each season and are kept as part of it. Our retention periods for account and identity information are being finalised and will be set out here before registration opens.
8. Your rights
- To ask what personal information we hold about you, and to receive a copy.
- To correct it. Your name, nickname, phone number and section can be changed on your profile. To correct your email address, ID number or date of birth, contact us: these are how we verify you, so they are changed only after checking.
- To ask us to delete it, subject to what we must keep by law or to preserve the competition record.
- To object to how we use it.
- To complain to the Information Regulator if you believe we have mishandled it.
To exercise any of these, email info@inqola.co.za.
9. Age
The Championship Series is for people aged 18 and older. Registration checks age from the ID number, so we do not knowingly collect information from anyone younger.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, the new version will be published here with its date. Where a change materially affects how we use your information, we will tell you by email.
