Welcome to Huntsly, a product developed by Burkshire Software (Pty) Ltd. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have.

This policy applies to:

Data security

Our servers and third-party partners may store your data in South Africa, the United States or Europe. We take steps to make sure your data is transferred and stored safely, in line with privacy laws. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including:

  • Encrypted connections (HTTPS)

Data retention

We keep your information for as long as necessary:

  • For as long as you have an active account

If you ask us to, we will remove an inactive account's test results after 12 months.

Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal information
  • Correct or update your details
  • Ask us to delete your data (where legally allowed)
  • Object to us processing your data
  • Withdraw your consent at any time
  • Complain to the Information Regulator in South Africa or your local privacy authority

Cookies and tracking

Essential cookies are always on, because the site doesn't work without them. They keep you signed in, show one-off notices after you submit a form, and remember your cookie choice. Your theme preference is kept in your browser's local storage.

Analytics only runs if you allow it. We use PostHog, hosted in the EU, to count which pages are visited. It doesn't record your screen, what you type or your IP address, and we strip anything after the page address (such as links from emails) before it's sent. Until you allow it, the analytics code isn't even downloaded.

You can change your mind at any time from the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page, or in your browser settings.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top and notify you through the platform or by email.
