Privacy policy

This policy explains what personal information The Fun Accountant collects through thefunaccountant.com, why, and what your rights are under the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).

Who is responsible for your information

The responsible party is The Fun Accountant (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2017/528533/07, South Africa. Our Information Officer is Louis Munro. You can reach him at louis@thefunaccountant.com.

What we collect

This website has no sign-up forms, no user accounts and no newsletter. We only collect personal information in these ways:

  • When you email us, for example to ask for early access or to talk about an AI pilot. We receive your name, email address and whatever you choose to tell us, such as your business name.
  • When you visit the website, our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes technical information such as your IP address and browser type to deliver the pages and protect the site from attacks.
  • When the page loads its fonts, Google Fonts receives your IP address.
  • When you play a video, YouTube may collect information and set cookies under its own privacy policy. We embed videos in YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, so nothing is sent to YouTube until you press play.

This website does not set advertising or tracking cookies.

Why we use it

  • To reply to your email and give you the information or service you asked for.
  • To tell you about early access to our software, but only if you asked for it.
  • To keep the website running safely.
  • To keep records we are required to keep by law.

Sending us your information is voluntary. If you don't, we simply can't reply to you or provide what you asked for.

Marketing

We won't send you marketing messages unless you asked for them. Every message will tell you how to stop receiving them, and you can ask us to stop at any time.

Who we share it with

We don't sell or rent your personal information. We only share it with service providers who help us run the business, such as Google Workspace for email and Cloudflare for hosting. Some of them store information outside South Africa. We only use providers that are bound to protect it to a standard similar to POPIA.

Links to other websites

This website links to other websites, such as YouTube and Sage. If you sign up for Sage through a referral link, Sage knows you came from us so that it can pay us a referral fee. Those websites have their own privacy policies.

How long we keep it and how we protect it

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purpose you gave it for, or as long as the law requires. We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to keep it safe from loss, misuse and unauthorised access.

Your rights

You may ask us whether we hold personal information about you, ask for a copy, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Email louis@thefunaccountant.com and we'll respond within a reasonable time.

If you're not satisfied with how we handle your information, you may complain to the Information Regulator:
