Privacy policy

Interbuild Africa handles personal information in line with applicable South African law, including POPIA. This policy explains what we collect through the show website and how that information is used, stored and protected.

Website operator and responsible party

This website is operated by Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd, 2 Makro Place, Sunnyrock 1401, on behalf of Interbuild Africa. For purposes of the Protection of Personal Information Act, where applicable, the responsible party for personal information processed through this website will depend on the activity involved, including exhibitor enquiries, visitor registration interest and event administration linked to the show.

By using this website or sending information through our contact form, you acknowledge that your information may be processed for lawful event, marketing and administrative purposes connected to Interbuild Africa.

Personal information we collect

We collect information that is relevant to organising and promoting a construction and design trade expo. The information collected will differ depending on whether you are making an exhibitor enquiry, requesting visitor information, registering interest in the programme, or browsing the site.

  • Name and surname
  • Company or organisation name
  • Job title or professional role
  • Email address and contact number
  • Province, town or business location
  • Information submitted in message fields, booking requests or registration forms
  • Technical website data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed and cookie data

We ask that you do not send special personal information or confidential third party material through website forms unless it is strictly necessary and lawfully shared.

How information is used

Personal information is processed only for specific and lawful purposes related to Interbuild Africa. This includes managing exhibitor interest, processing trade attendance enquiries, administering event communications, improving the website and maintaining records required for business and legal reasons.

  • To respond to requests about stands, registration and show participation
  • To send operational notices connected to the expo
  • To share relevant updates about sectors, programme items and event arrangements
  • To maintain internal reporting, planning and visitor analytics
  • To meet legal, accounting and regulatory duties
  • To protect the website, staff, exhibitors and visitors against misuse or unlawful activity

Where consent is required under POPIA, we will rely on that consent. In other cases, processing may be based on contractual necessity, legitimate interests or compliance with legal obligations.

Disclosure and operators

Information may be shared where reasonably necessary with service providers who support the running of the website, registration systems, analytics, hosting, event administration and related marketing activity. These parties act under appropriate duties of confidentiality and may only use the information for agreed purposes.

We do not sell personal information. Information may also be disclosed where required by law, where necessary to protect legal rights, or where the disclosure is reasonably required for the administration of the event.

Some service providers may store or process data outside South Africa. Where cross-border processing applies, reasonable steps are taken to ensure that the recipient is subject to a law, binding agreement or security framework that provides an adequate level of protection.

Cookies, analytics and security

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functioning properly, remember user preferences and measure page usage. These tools help us understand which pages are useful to exhibitors and trade visitors, and where navigation needs attention.

  • Essential cookies for core website functions
  • Analytics cookies for traffic measurement and aggregated reporting
  • Preference cookies where site settings need to be remembered

You can limit cookies through your browser settings, although some website features may not work as intended. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, unauthorised access, damage, destruction or unlawful processing. No internet transmission method is completely secure, but safeguards are maintained and reviewed from time to time.

Retention, access and POPIA rights

Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or for longer where a legal duty, record-keeping requirement or legitimate event administration need applies.

Subject to POPIA and any other applicable law, you may request access to personal information held about you, ask for correction of inaccurate information, object to certain processing, or request deletion where retention is no longer justified. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, provided that earlier lawful processing remains valid.

Requests relating to personal information can be submitted through our contact form. We may need to verify identity before giving effect to a request, and certain rights may be limited by legal or operational requirements.

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect legal, operational or website changes. The latest version published on this page will apply to the use of this website and the handling of related personal information.
