- Phone number / WhatsApp number
- The type of service you're enquiring about
- Your estimated budget range
- A description of your project
We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as health, financial account, or identity document details) through this website, and we ask that you don't include this kind of information in your project description either.

We use the information you submit to:
- Respond to your enquiry and prepare a quotation
- Communicate with you about your project via email, phone or WhatsApp

We do not use your information for automated decision-making, profiling, or unrelated marketing without your separate consent.

We process your personal information on the basis that you have voluntarily provided it to us for the purpose of requesting a quote, and that processing is necessary to take steps toward a potential contract with you, in line with South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
06 Storage & Security
Quote requests submitted through this website are sent over HTTPS to DevLand Solutions' business email address for review and response. Access to the mailbox is restricted to authorised DevLand Solutions personnel.
No online system can be guaranteed 100% secure, but we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We only share it with:
- Your email provider, when you choose to send the prefilled email generated by the contact form
- Authorities or third parties where we're legally required to disclose information
08 Data Retention
We keep enquiry information for as long as necessary to respond to you, deliver any agreed services, and meet our reasonable business and legal record-keeping needs. You can ask us to delete your information at any time see "Your Rights" below.
09 Your Rights
Under POPIA, you have the right to:
- Ask us what personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate or outdated information
- Ask us to delete your information, where we're not legally required to keep it

10 Cookies
Cookies are small text files a website can use to remember information. This website currently uses only strictly necessary storage for example, to remember that you've responded to our cookie banner, so we don't ask you again on every visit. We do not currently use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.
If that changes in the future (for example, if we add analytics to better understand site usage), we will update this policy and ask for your consent through the cookie banner before any non-essential cookies are set.
You can withdraw or change your cookie preference at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in the site footer, or by clearing your browser's site data.
11 Children's Privacy
This website is intended for business use and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
