Consent Policy

Last Updated: June 07, 2025

Introduction

At NextEdge TechMag ("we," "our," or "us"), we respect your right to make informed choices about how your personal information is collected and used. This Consent Policy explains how we obtain, record, and manage your consent regarding your personal information in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) in South Africa.

What is Consent?

Consent means any voluntary, specific, and informed expression of will in terms of which permission is given for the processing of personal information. In simpler terms, it means you agree to allow us to use your information for specific purposes that we clearly explain to you.

For consent to be valid, it must be:

  • Voluntary: You must have a genuine choice and must not feel pressured to agree;
  • Specific: We clearly explain what you're consenting to;
  • Informed: You understand what you're agreeing to;
  • Unambiguous: Your consent must be given by a clear affirmative action.

  • When you submit your information through our contact forms;
  • When you agree to our cookie policy;

In each case, we provide clear information about what you're consenting to and ensure you take an affirmative action to give your consent.
