Privacy Policy
Effective Date: December 16, 2025
At Pacy, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (pacy.co.za) and use our free online calculator tools. By accessing or using our services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our site.
Information We Collect
We prioritize minimal data collection to ensure your privacy. Pacy does not require user accounts, registrations, or logins. As a result:
- Personal Information: We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., through our contact form for support or feedback).
- Usage Data: We may automatically collect non-personal information about your device and browsing activity, including IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and timestamps. This is gathered via server logs and analytics tools to improve site performance and understand usage patterns.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use essential cookies only for functionality, such as maintaining session states for calculator tools. We do not use tracking cookies, third-party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), or advertising trackers. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.
We do not collect sensitive information like financial details, health data, or location unless explicitly entered into a calculator tool for computation purposes—and even then, it is processed client-side and not stored or transmitted to our servers.
How We Use Your Information
The limited information we collect is used solely to:
- Provide and maintain our calculator services.
- Analyze site usage to enhance user experience and fix issues.
- Respond to your inquiries or feedback if you contact us.
- Comply with legal obligations, such as responding to subpoenas or court orders.
We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or any commercial purposes beyond operating the site.
Sharing Your Information
Pacy does not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties, except in these limited cases:
- Service Providers: We may share data with trusted vendors (e.g., hosting providers) who assist in operating our site, under strict confidentiality agreements.
- Legal Requirements: If required by law, we may disclose information to authorities or in response to legal processes.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction.
We do not share data with advertisers, social media platforms, or analytics firms.
Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. This includes encryption for any transmitted data and secure server practices. However, no online transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection. You are responsible for safeguarding any data you input.
Your Rights and Choices
- Access and Control: Since we collect minimal data, you can request details about what we hold (if any) by contacting us.
- Opt-Out: If you provide contact information, you can opt out of future communications at any time.
- Do Not Track: We honor browser “Do Not Track” signals by not engaging in tracking activities.
- GDPR and CCPA Compliance: For users in the EU or California, you have rights to access, delete, or restrict processing of your data. Contact us to exercise these rights.
Children’s Privacy
Our services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If we become aware of such data, we will delete it promptly.
Third-Party Links
Our site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted here with a revised effective date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
