Privacy Policy

This policy explains how UCfERI handles personal information submitted through this website, including contact and newsletter forms used to support entrepreneurs, students, and partners.

Information We Collect

We may collect contact details such as your name, email address, phone number, organisation, and the information you provide when you submit enquiries, applications, or newsletter subscriptions through the UCfERI website.

How We Use Information

UCfERI uses submitted information to respond to enquiries, share programme updates, coordinate support services, improve website experience, and maintain records of requests received through the site.

  • Responding to support, partnership, training, or funding enquiries.
  • Sharing newsletters, announcements, and programme opportunities where you requested updates.
  • Monitoring website enquiries for service planning and reporting.

Storage and Access

Where forms are connected to email, Google Apps Script, or another approved service, your data may be stored in secure institutional tools used by UCfERI staff for communication and operational follow-up. Access should be limited to authorised personnel who need the information to assist you.

Sharing of Information

Your information should not be sold. It may be shared internally within the University of Venda or with relevant programme delivery partners only where this is necessary to respond to your request or administer a UCfERI service.

Your Choices

You may request correction, update, or removal of information that you previously submitted by contacting cferi@univen.ac.za. Newsletter communications should also allow you to opt out of future updates.

Policy Updates

This page may be updated as website functionality changes. Material updates should be reflected here before new forms or new types of data collection are launched.
