Privacy Notice

1. Who we are

Design Opt operates the Growth Checker. Our contact address is Amanzimtoti, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, and our privacy contact email is designopto@gmail.com.

2. What we collect

• Your answers to the seven assessment questions.
• The scores calculated from those answers, including your primary and secondary systems.
• A randomly generated session identifier used to link your answers to your result.
• The contact details you submit: name and email (required); company, website and role (optional).
• Whether you gave marketing consent, and when.

We do not ask for payment details, identity numbers or any special-category personal information through the Growth Checker.

3. Why we use it

• To calculate and display your Growth Checker result.
• To contact you about the Growth Diagnostic you asked about.
• Where you ticked the consent box, to send you marketing communications from Design Opt.

We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making that has legal effects.

4. Legal basis and consent

Marketing communications are sent only with your explicit consent, given by ticking the consent box before you submit your details. You can withdraw consent at any time by replying to any email from us or contacting us using the details below. Withdrawing consent does not affect communications already sent.

5. Who can access it

Submissions are stored in our hosted database and are accessible only to authorised Design Opt team members through an internal, access-controlled admin view. Our hosting provider processes this data on our behalf in secure cloud infrastructure.

6. How long we keep it

We keep assessment and contact records for as long as needed to follow up on your enquiry and to maintain our business records, typically up to three years unless you ask us to delete them sooner.

7. Your rights

You may request access to the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, or object to its use for marketing. Contact us at designopto@gmail.com and we will respond within a reasonable period. If you are unhappy with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa.
