Effective Date: May 19, 2025

AsInvest is a product of Asihlangane (Pty) Ltd ("AsInvest", "we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to safeguarding your personal information and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and store your data. This Privacy Policy applies to your use of the AsInvest application, available at azinvest.asihlangane.com.

1. Information We Collect

Camera Access: Camera functionality is used solely to scan QR codes within the app for quick quiz access. No images or video content is captured, stored, or shared.

Financial Preferences and Input: To provide a personalized experience, we collect information you voluntarily provide, including:

• Categories of interest (e.g., car, house, holiday, offshore, local),
• Estimated budgets and expense ranges,
• Personal notes and reviews on viewed assets,
• Quiz progress and response history.

All data is securely stored and used to enhance your financial learning experience through tailored simulations and insights.

Local vs. Registered Use

If you use the app without creating an account, all data remains locally on your device and is not shared or uploaded. Deleting the app will also delete your data.

If you register an account, your data is securely backed up to our servers, enabling cross-device sync and data recovery. We only store your data with your explicit registration and consent.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected data to:

• Deliver personalized financial learning tools,
• Track and display your asset interaction history,
• Support comparisons, budgeting insights, and category alignment,
• Improve quiz functionality and feedback relevance.

Your data is never shared with third parties without your explicit permission and is stored securely using encryption and modern security protocols.

3. Data Sharing and Partnerships

AsInvest is independently operated by Asihlangane (Pty) Ltd. Should we engage with partners (such as banks or educational institutions), your data will only be shared if you have provided clear, informed consent.

4. Security

We implement industry-standard encryption and access control measures to protect your information. While we take extensive precautions, we recommend not submitting highly sensitive personal or financial data through the app.

5. Your Rights

You may contact us at any time to:

• Access your personal data,
• Request deletion of your data or account,
• Opt out of non-essential data processing.

To exercise your rights or for any privacy-related inquiries, email us at azinvest@asihlangane.com.
