• Improving app performance — analysing usage patterns and error logs to fix bugs, optimise features, and enhance the user experience.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, we process your data based on one or more of the following legal grounds:

• Contractual necessity — processing is necessary to perform our contract with you (i.e., providing the RentLink Mzansi service when you create an account).
• Legitimate interest — processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests (e.g., improving the app, preventing fraud), provided these interests do not override your fundamental rights.
• Consent — where required, we will obtain your explicit consent before processing (e.g., optional marketing communications). You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Compliance with legal obligations — processing is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations (e.g., tax records, court orders).

5. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your data with:

• Service providers — trusted third-party providers who assist us in operating the app (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, crash reporting). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data.
• Legal requirements — where required by law, regulation, or legal process.
• Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy and to comply with our legal obligations. Specifically:

• Account data is retained for the duration of your active account.
• Upon account deletion, personal data is removed within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
• Anonymised usage analytics may be retained indefinitely to improve the service.
• Error and performance logs are retained for up to 12 months for debugging purposes.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including:

• Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest.
• Secure password hashing.
• Access controls and authentication for internal systems.
• Regular security reviews and updates.

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you become aware of any security issues, please contact us immediately.

8. Your Rights Under GDPR

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
