Introduction

A clear explanation of how personal information may be handled through this website.

This policy applies to people who visit the website, submit enquiries, request quotations, communicate with Kore Construct by phone or email, send supporting files, or otherwise provide personal information through the website or related online interactions.

Kore Construct is committed to responsible information-handling practices and to clearer privacy transparency in line with South African expectations, including POPIA-style openness and, where relevant, access-to-information procedures under PAIA.

Personal Information Collected

The website may collect information that helps Kore respond, quote, communicate, and operate responsibly.

Depending on the interaction, the website and related communications may involve different categories of personal information.

Direct submissions

Includes forms, email, phone conversations, RFQ documents, and files sent to Kore Construct.

Sensitive information

The site is not intended for unnecessary special personal information. Please avoid sending it unless specifically requested and lawfully required.

Children's information

The website is intended for business and adult users. It is not intentionally directed at children.

Business details

Where relevant, the website may process business-identifying information connected to procurement, site access, or quotation workflows.

How Information Is Collected

Most information is collected because a user contacts Kore or uses the website.

Collection methods depend on how a person interacts with the site, submits an enquiry, or communicates with the business.

Website and enquiry communication channels

Direct collection channels

Information may be collected directly from a user when they choose to interact with Kore Construct.

Contact and quote forms

When a user completes website forms, sends a quotation request, or submits project details.

Phone and email communication

When a user phones, emails, or otherwise communicates directly with the business.

Uploads and attachments

When a user sends drawings, photographs, site files, specifications, or other supporting information.

Operational follow-up

When additional information is requested to clarify scope, arrange access, or progress an enquiry.

Website tracking and cookie technologies

Website and technical collection

Some information may be collected automatically through website technologies.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies may be used for website functionality, analytics, preferences, and related technical purposes.

Browser and device information

This may include IP-related data, browser type, operating system, referral information, and page interaction data.

Analytics or performance tools

Where enabled, website analytics may help Kore understand usage patterns and improve site performance.

Security monitoring

Some technical data may be used to detect misuse, errors, malicious activity, or service abuse.

Purposes for Processing

Information is processed for practical business and website purposes, not for unnecessary collection.

Depending on the interaction, personal information may be used for one or more of the following purposes.

Responding to enquiries

To reply to contact requests, answer questions, and communicate about quotations, projects, or services.

Preparing quotations

To assess the requirement, review submitted information, and prepare or refine a quote or scope response.

Delivering services

To support project administration, site coordination, client communication, and service-related follow-through where an engagement proceeds.

Improving the website

To understand usage patterns, maintain performance, improve user experience, and support site functionality.

Compliance and record-keeping

To meet legal, regulatory, administrative, security, fraud-prevention, or audit-related requirements where applicable.

Lawful marketing where applicable

To send updates or marketing communications only where this is lawful, appropriate, and supported by the relevant legal basis or permissions.

Responsible handling of customer and enquiry information

Lawful Processing Approach

Kore aims to process information in a responsible, purpose-based, and lawful way.

Depending on the situation, personal information may be processed because it is necessary to respond to a request, to take steps related to a quotation or service engagement, to comply with legal obligations, to protect legitimate business interests, or because consent has been provided where consent is the appropriate basis.

  • Processing should be limited to defined and relevant purposes.
  • Information should not be used in a way that is incompatible with those purposes without a lawful basis.
  • Where consent is relied on, users may withdraw consent subject to lawful and practical limitations.
  • Where information is required for a quotation, project discussion, or service-related purpose, certain processing may be necessary to respond properly.

Sharing, Security & Safeguards

Information may be shared only for legitimate and limited purposes, with reasonable protection measures in place.

Kore Construct may share personal information internally or with service providers where this is reasonably necessary to operate the website, respond to enquiries, administer quotations, obtain professional support, or comply with the law.

Reasonable technical and organisational measures should be used to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, unauthorised disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

No website or communication channel can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but Kore aims to take reasonable and appropriate steps for the context.

Possible recipients Hosting, IT, or analytics providers [confirm if used]
Possible recipients Professional advisers or regulators where required
Security approach Reasonable technical and organisational measures

Retention & Cross-Border Transfers

Provider reviews

Third-party processors, storage regions, and transfer safeguards are maintained and aligned with POPIA requirements.

Rights, PAIA & Cookie Alignment

Users may have rights to access, correct, object, withdraw consent, or complain in the appropriate circumstances.

Rights will depend on the applicable law and the context of the processing, but Kore aims to support reasonable privacy-related requests and transparency processes.

Data subject rights

A user may be able to request access to personal information, request correction, object to certain processing, or ask that consent-based processing stop where consent applies.

Reasonable verification and lawful limitations may apply.

Information Regulator complaints

Users may also lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator in South Africa if they believe their personal information has not been handled lawfully.

Kore should still be given an opportunity to respond to the concern first where appropriate.

PAIA and cookie linkage

Access requests may also be handled through applicable PAIA procedures. Kore maintains a PAIA manual available on request via hello@koreconstruct.co.za.

For website cookies and similar technologies, see the Cookie Policy. This Privacy Policy should also be read together with the Terms and Conditions.

PAIA, Cookies & Related Policies

Website privacy should connect clearly to PAIA transparency, cookie notices, and related legal pages.

This page should be read together with the Cookie Policy and the Terms and Conditions. Where Kore Construct is required to maintain a PAIA manual or information-access process, that route should be signposted clearly and kept current.

PAIA manual and Information Officer

Cookie transparency

Users should be able to understand whether analytics, consent tooling, embeds, or third-party services are active on the website.

Any confirmed tools should be listed in the Cookie Policy before publication.

Cross-policy consistency

Privacy wording, website terms, cookie notices, and contact details should stay aligned so users are not sent to conflicting or outdated legal content.

Update all three legal pages together when the website stack or legal contacts change.

Update visibility

Each legal page should display a visible “Last Updated” date and should be republished whenever material changes are made.
