How Invest Michael collects, uses, and protects the personal information you share through this website.
Invest Michael (Pty) Ltd ("Invest Michael", "we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
Invest Michael is a private investment and venture company. Our ventures span technology, real estate, digital publishing, and innovation. This policy applies to the Invest Michael website (investmichael.com) and the enquiry channels connected to it.
Because we operate across multiple ventures, this policy is written to cover our website as a whole rather than any single venture. As new ventures or features are introduced, this framework is intended to continue to apply.
We collect information in two ways:
We use the information we collect to:
We process personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of South Africa, and we aim to remain broadly compatible with international standards such as the GDPR.
Depending on the circumstances, we rely on your consent, our legitimate business interests, or our legal obligations as the basis for processing. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the website and to improve the experience. These tools are enabled in our production website and, where applicable, are subject to your cookie preferences.
Our use of cookies is described in more detail in our Cookie Policy.
Our website may contain links to, or embedded content from, third-party services — for example, social platforms such as Instagram or LinkedIn. These services may collect information about you in accordance with their own privacy policies, which we do not control. We encourage you to review their policies.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with trusted service providers who help us operate the website (such as hosting and analytics providers), under appropriate confidentiality obligations, or where we are required to do so by law.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, object to certain processing, or withdraw your consent. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below.
This website is intended for a general, professional audience and is not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Invest Michael is based in South Africa. If you access the website from elsewhere, your information may be processed in South Africa or other jurisdictions. By using the website, you understand that your information may be transferred and processed accordingly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date of the most recent revision is shown at the top of this page.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, please contact us at invest@investmichael.com.
