POPIA Notice

This notice explains the main data protection commitments Lethela applies under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

Last updated: 18 June 2026. Use this page as the platform-facing POPIA summary for customers, vendors and riders.

How we process information

  • We process personal information for specific platform purposes, including account management, orders, delivery, vendor approval, rider onboarding, support, safety and payment reconciliation.
  • We collect only information reasonably needed to run accounts, orders, onboarding, support, fraud prevention and platform operations.
  • We aim to keep information accurate, relevant and secure.
  • We limit access to personal information to authorised staff, providers and operating partners who need it.
  • We take reasonable steps to investigate and respond to privacy incidents and security compromises.
  • We keep records only for as long as lawful and operationally necessary.

POPIA conditions we use as a checklist

  • Accountability: we assign privacy responsibility and keep practical records of platform data use.
  • Processing limitation and purpose specification: we avoid collecting unnecessary data and explain why information is needed.
  • Further processing limitation: we do not reuse personal information for unrelated purposes without a lawful reason.
  • Information quality and openness: we aim to keep account, vendor, rider and order records accurate and understandable.
  • Security safeguards and data subject participation: we protect records and give users a way to ask for access, correction or deletion where the law allows.

Your rights

  • You may request access to personal information held about you.
  • You may ask for incorrect information to be corrected.
  • You may object to certain processing where POPIA allows it.
  • You may request deletion where retention is no longer justified or where the law permits it.
  • You may complain to the Information Regulator if you believe your information was processed unlawfully.
