Last updated: 30 September 2026
The responsible party for personal information processed through this website is Grant Whiting trading as WhitingWeb, based in Pretoria, South Africa.
In this policy, references to “WhitingWeb”, “I” or “me” refer to Grant Whiting trading as WhitingWeb.
Privacy-related questions or requests can be sent to website@whitingweb.co.za .
When you submit a project enquiry or communicate with WhitingWeb, you may provide information such as:
Fields marked as required are needed so that I can understand and respond to the enquiry. Optional information may be left blank.
When you use the website, certain technical information may be processed automatically by the website, hosting environment, security services or analytics services.
Depending on the service and your consent choices, this may include browser or device information, IP-related information, referring pages, page activity, approximate geographic information and similar technical data.
Personal information may be used to:
Enquiry information is currently used to respond to enquiries and related project discussions. I do not currently add people who submit project enquiries to a general marketing or newsletter list.
If this use changes in future, the relevant privacy information and consent process will be updated where required.
When you submit a form on the WhitingWeb website, the information you enter is processed so that the enquiry can be received and responded to.
Form submissions may be stored within the website's form system or WordPress database as part of the form-processing process. A copy of the submission may also be delivered to WhitingWeb by email using the website's configured mail server.
Information sent by email is also processed through the relevant email and server infrastructure needed to transmit, receive and retain that correspondence.
WhitingWeb uses Google Site Kit to connect the website with Google services including Google Analytics and Google Search Console. Google Analytics is used to understand general patterns in how visitors use the website.
Google Analytics may process information such as page and session activity, browser and device information, approximate geographic information and identifiers used for website measurement when the relevant storage consent has been granted.
WhitingWeb uses Google Consent Mode v2 together with CookieAdmin Pro. Analytics storage is treated as optional.
When analytics storage is denied, Google Analytics does not read or write its first-party analytics cookies. In the current Consent Mode configuration, Google tags may still send limited cookieless measurement signals to Google.
According to Google, these cookieless signals may contain technical information supplied during normal browser communication, such as consent state, page or referral information, browser information, screen information and an IP address during transmission. Google states that Google Analytics does not store or log IP addresses.
When you grant analytics consent, Google Analytics may store first-party analytics cookies such as _ga and the site's GA4 property cookie in order to distinguish visitors and maintain measurement state.
WhitingWeb does not currently use advertising or marketing cookies on this website.
More information about the cookies used for analytics and the consent controls available on this website is provided in the WhitingWeb Cookie Policy .
You can read more about Google's handling of personal information in the Google Privacy Policy .
WhitingWeb uses Cloudflare Turnstile on relevant website forms to help distinguish legitimate submissions from automated or abusive traffic.
Turnstile may process technical signals relating to the visitor's browser or device in order to perform this security function.
Cloudflare states that Turnstile processes the information needed to provide its security function and does not access, store or transmit the contents of the form fields or other page inputs you provide.
Cloudflare may process the information required to provide this security service according to its own privacy terms and applicable data-processing arrangements.
More information is available in Cloudflare's Privacy Policy .
Some technology and service providers used by WhitingWeb operate infrastructure in multiple countries. This means that certain technical or personal information may be processed or stored outside South Africa.
This may apply, for example, to international services such as Google or Cloudflare.
Where personal information is transferred or processed across borders, WhitingWeb aims to use reputable service providers and appropriate arrangements consistent with applicable data-protection requirements.
Personal information is not intended to be kept indefinitely. The retention period depends on why the information was collected and whether there is a continuing business, legal, contractual, support or record-keeping reason to retain it.
Where an enquiry does not develop into an ongoing client or project relationship, enquiry information will generally be retained for no longer than 24 months after the last meaningful contact, unless there is a lawful reason to retain it for longer.
If an enquiry develops into a project or ongoing client relationship, relevant records may be retained for longer where reasonably necessary for providing services, contractual obligations, accounting, technical support, dispute management or legal requirements.
Cookies have their own expiry periods, which are described in the Cookie Policy. Analytics information retained by Google is also subject to the relevant Google Analytics configuration and Google's applicable retention practices.
Information that is no longer required should be deleted, destroyed or de-identified where reasonably practicable and where continued retention is not otherwise permitted or required.
WhitingWeb takes reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
These measures include security and maintenance practices associated with the website, hosting environment, forms and related systems.
No internet-connected website, email service or information system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Security measures are therefore reviewed and maintained as part of the ongoing operation of the website and related systems.
Subject to applicable law and any lawful limitations or exceptions, you may have the right to:
To make a privacy request, email website@whitingweb.co.za . I may need sufficient information to verify your identity before providing, changing or deleting personal information.
If you believe that your personal information has been processed in breach of POPIA, you may also lodge a complaint with South Africa's Information Regulator.
