2. Scope of Application

This privacy declaration applies to all digital visitors, subscriber profiles, whistleblowers routing informational content via our secure servers, and any reader interacting with our corporate communications.

3. Data Collection Framework

We classify incoming information metrics as follows:

• Submitted Data: Information entered directly via our secure intake channels (e.g., name, encrypted secure contact address, communication text).
• Automated Telemetry: Anonymized browser signatures, operating system classifications, geographic regions, page-dwell logs, and connection values.
• Cookie State Storage: Consented analytical tracking variables used to design smooth site interfaces.

4. Processing Purposing & Statutory Foundations

Our activity relies on specific legal processing allocations under POPIA Section 11 parameters, detailed in the schema below:

Processing Purpose	Data Elements Utilized	POPIA Law Foundation
Whistleblower Intake Management	Identity details (if provided), dynamic contact files, narrative text	Section 11(1)(c) - Public Duty / Investigative Mandate

Global Truth NPC under no condition sells reader database pools. Information stays isolated inside localized secure physical drives located in Cape Town. When necessary under administrative orders, information transfers remain strictly audited.

7. Rights of the Data Subject

Under South African POPIA parameters, you hold the legal authority to request administrative access to, corrections on, or deletion of your localized information. If you suspect structural violations of POPIA, you possess the right to file an official procedural complaint with the South African Information Regulator (JD House, 27 Stiemens Street, Braamfontein, Johannesburg, 2001 - [email protected]).
