Privacy notice

Last updated: 6 November 2026

This notice explains how People Intelligence collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit this website or contact us, in line with South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

Who we are

People Intelligence is a coaching and leadership development practice run by Danelle Esterhuizen in Cape Town, South Africa. People Intelligence is the responsible party for your personal information, and Danelle Esterhuizen is the Information Officer.

What we collect and why

When you contact us by email, phone or WhatsApp, we receive your name, contact details and whatever you choose to tell us. We use this to reply to you, arrange a chemistry call and, if we work together, to deliver and administer coaching (including scheduling and invoicing).

When you book a chemistry call, you do so on Calendly, which collects your name, email address and any answers you give, and shares them with us so we can hold the call.

When you visit this website, our hosting and security providers process technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you request. This is used to deliver the site, keep it secure and protect it from abuse. We use privacy-friendly analytics that count visits without advertising cookies and without building a profile of you.

Anything you share during coaching is kept confidential and handled as set out in your coaching agreement.

Cookies

This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Our security provider may set a strictly necessary cookie to tell genuine visitors apart from automated bots. It does not identify you personally and does not require consent.

Who we share it with

We never sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us operate:

  • Cloudflare: website delivery, security and visit statistics
  • GoDaddy: website hosting
  • Calendly: booking chemistry calls
  • WhatsApp (Meta), if you choose to contact us that way
  • Our email provider, for messages you send us

Some of these providers store information outside South Africa, for example in the United States or Europe. We use providers that are bound by data protection terms offering protection comparable to POPIA.

How long we keep it

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes above, or as long as the law requires (for example, financial records). After that it is deleted or anonymised.

How we protect it

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections, access controls and reputable service providers.

Your rights

Under POPIA you may:

  • ask what personal information we hold about you and request a copy
  • ask us to correct or delete it
  • object to us processing it, or withdraw consent you have given
  • lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa) at inforegulator.org.za

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will respond within a reasonable time.
