Process of Collecting Personal Information
Gbets will always collect personal information in a fair, lawful and reasonable manner to ensure that it protects an individual's right to privacy and will process the personal information based on legitimate grounds in a manner that does not adversely affect the data subject (you) in question.

Gbets generally collects personal information directly from data subjects or it may obtain personal information from third parties (where necessary or practically required).

Where Gbets is relying on a data subject's consent as the legal basis for processing personal information, the data subject may withdraw his/her/its consent or may object to Gbets' processing of the personal information at any time. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to the withdrawal of consent or any processing justified by any other legal ground provided under the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 ("POPIA").

If the consent is withdrawn or if there is otherwise a justified objection against the use or the processing of such personal information, Gbets will no longer process the personal information.

Storage and Processing of Personal Information by Gbets and Third Party Service Providers

Gbets may store your personal information in hardcopy format and/or in electronic format using Gbets' own secure on-site servers or other internally hosted technology. Your personal information may also be stored by third parties, via cloud services or other technology, with whom Gbets has contracted with, to support Gbets' operations.

Gbets' third-party service providers, including data storage and processing providers, may from time to time also have access to a data subject's personal information in connection with purposes for which the personal information was initially collected to be processed.

Gbets will ensure that such third-party service providers will process the personal information in accordance with the provisions of this policy, all other relevant internal policies and procedures and POPIA.

These third parties do not use or have access to your personal information other than for purposes specified by us, and Gbets requires such parties to employ at least the same level of security that Gbets uses to protect your personal information.

Retention of Personal Information
Gbets may keep records of the personal information it has collected, correspondence, or comments it has collected in an electronic or hardcopy file format.

In terms of POPIA, Gbets may not retain personal information for a period longer than is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected or processed and is required to delete, destroy (in such a way that it cannot be reconstructed) or de-identify the information as soon as is reasonably practicable once the purpose has been achieved. This prohibition will not apply in the following circumstances –

where the retention of the record is required or authorised by law;
Gbets requires the record to fulfil its lawful functions or activities;
retention of the record is required by a contract between the parties thereto;
the data subject has consented to such longer retention; or
the record is retained for historical, research or statistical purposes provided safeguards are put in place to prevent use for any other purpose.

Accordingly, Gbets will, subject to the exceptions noted in this policy, retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which that personal information was collected and/or as permitted or required by applicable law.

Once the purpose for which the personal information was initially collected and processed no longer applies or becomes obsolete, Gbets will ensure that the personal information is deleted, destroyed or de-identified sufficiently.
