Privacy Policy

1. Overview

DSK Nexus ("we", "us", "our") is a software studio that designs and builds digital products, including the DSK Nexus website (dsknexus.co.za) and applications such as MatricBase. We respect your privacy and are committed to being clear about what data we collect and why.

This policy applies to information collected through our website, and describes our general approach to privacy across the products we develop. Individual products may publish their own, more specific privacy notice where relevant.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide directly

• Contact details you send us, such as your name and email address, when you reach out via email or a contact form.
• Any content you include in a message to us — for example, project details or feedback.

Information collected automatically

• Basic technical data such as browser type, device type, and general location, typically collected by standard web server logs.
• Usage data, such as which pages are visited and how long a visit lasts, collected via Google Analytics if you accept cookies.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, such as financial account details or government ID numbers, through this website.

3. How we use information

• To respond to inquiries and communicate about potential or ongoing work.
• To operate, maintain, and improve our website and products.
• To understand how our website is used, so we can make it more useful.
• To meet legal, security, and operational obligations.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for unrelated advertising purposes.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate usage, such as which pages are visited and how long a visit lasts. Google Analytics sets cookies to do this. This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.

Analytics cookies are not set until you accept them via the cookie banner shown on your first visit. You can accept or decline at any time, and you can change your choice using the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of any page. We also use minimal local storage to remember your cookie choice itself.

You can also control or disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect some site functionality.

5. How information is shared

We do not share personal information with third parties except:

• With service providers who help us operate our website or communications (for example, email or hosting providers), under obligations to protect your data.
• Where required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of DSK Nexus, our users, or others.

6. Data security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

8. Children's privacy

Some of the products we build, such as MatricBase, are intended for use by high school learners. Where a product is directed at younger users, we aim to limit data collection to what is necessary for the product to function, and we do not knowingly use children's data for advertising or sell it to third parties.

9. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you're located, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or operational reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
