Contact forms
When you submit a contact form on our website, the information you enter is sent to Vibez Studios so that we can respond to your enquiry.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information through the contact form unless it is genuinely necessary for your enquiry.
Cookies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website to function correctly, maintain security or remember certain preferences.
We may also use third-party services or website tools that place cookies on your device.
Where required, you will be given the opportunity to manage your cookie preferences.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the website function.
Embedded content and third-party services
Our website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party services, such as Instagram, Facebook, video platforms, maps or other websites.
When you interact with third-party content or follow a link to another website, that third party may collect information about you in accordance with its own privacy policy.
Vibez Studios does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share or process personal information through trusted service providers where reasonably necessary to operate our website or business. This may include website hosting, email, website security, contact-form or other technology providers.
These providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services to us and are subject to their own security and privacy obligations.
We may also disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights.
International processing
Some of the technology and service providers used by our website may store or process information outside South Africa.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that it is handled in accordance with POPIA and applicable data-protection requirements.
POPIA specifically regulates the flow of personal information across South Africa’s borders, so this is worth including rather than pretending every WordPress-related service necessarily stores everything locally. South African Government
How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, providing services, maintaining appropriate business records and complying with legal obligations.
When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we will delete, destroy or de-identify it where appropriate.
How we protect your information
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Under POPIA, you may have the right to:
- Ask whether we hold personal information about you

- Request that inaccurate or outdated information be corrected
- Request deletion or destruction of personal information where applicable
