Your data protection rights and our commitment to privacy
Last updated: January 15, 2025
Introduction and Scope
tyrantholique operates an expense tracking platform that helps South African individuals and businesses manage their financial data effectively. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and manage your personal information when you interact with our services at tyrantholique.com.
We're committed to transparency about our data practices. This policy applies to all users of our platform, whether you're tracking personal expenses or managing business finances. By using tyrantholique's services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.
Information We Collect
When you use tyrantholique's expense tracking platform, we collect several types of information to provide and improve our services:
- Account information including your name, email address, and contact details when you register
- Financial data you input into our tracking system, including expense categories, amounts, and transaction descriptions
- Technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and device information for security and optimization
- Usage patterns and preferences to personalize your experience and improve our platform
- Communication records when you contact our support team or participate in surveys
- Location data (with your permission) to categorize expenses by geographic area
We never collect sensitive financial account numbers, passwords, or banking credentials through our platform.
How We Use Your Information
Your information helps us deliver reliable expense tracking services and enhance your financial management experience. We use collected data to maintain your account, process your expense entries, and generate helpful financial reports and insights.
We analyze usage patterns to identify areas for platform improvement and develop new features that benefit our user community. Your data also helps us provide customer support, send important service updates, and ensure platform security through fraud detection and prevention measures.
Marketing communications are sent only with your explicit consent, and you can unsubscribe at any time. We may use aggregated, anonymized data for research purposes to better understand expense tracking trends in the South African market.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
tyrantholique does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We share your data only in specific circumstances that directly support our service delivery or comply with legal requirements.
Our trusted service providers, including cloud hosting partners and analytics services, may access your data solely to support platform operations. These partners are contractually bound to protect your information and use it only for specified purposes related to our services.
We may disclose information when required by South African law, court orders, or government requests. In the event of a business merger or acquisition, user data would be transferred under the same privacy protections outlined in this policy.
Your Privacy Rights
Under South African privacy legislation, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), you have several important rights regarding your personal data. We respect these rights and provide clear procedures for exercising them.
Data Subject Rights
Access Your Data
Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you, including how it's being used and shared.
Data Correction
Update or correct any inaccurate personal information in your account or our records.
Data Deletion
Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements and legitimate business needs.
Processing Objection
Object to certain types of data processing, including marketing communications and automated decision-making.
To exercise any of these rights, contact our privacy team at info@tyrantholique.com with your request and account details. We'll respond within 30 days and may require identity verification to protect your information.
Data Security and Protection
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your financial and personal data. Our platform uses industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage, with regular security audits conducted by independent firms.
Access to your data is restricted to authorized personnel who require it for specific job functions. We maintain detailed access logs and conduct regular employee training on data protection protocols. Our servers are hosted in secure facilities with physical access controls and monitoring systems.
While we take extensive precautions, no system is completely immune to security threats. We have incident response procedures in place and will notify affected users promptly if any data breach occurs that could impact their personal information.
Data Retention and Storage
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Different types of data have different retention periods based on their purpose and regulatory requirements.
Account Information
Basic account details are retained while your account remains active and for three years after account closure to comply with financial regulations.
Financial Data
Expense tracking data is retained for seven years from the date of entry to support tax requirements and financial record-keeping obligations.
Technical logs and usage analytics are typically deleted after 24 months unless required for ongoing security investigations. You can request earlier deletion of certain data types, though some information must be retained to meet South African business and tax law requirements.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
tyrantholique uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your platform experience and analyze usage patterns. Essential cookies are necessary for basic platform functionality, including maintaining your login session and remembering your preferences.
Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with our expense tracking features, allowing us to identify popular tools and areas for improvement. Marketing cookies, used only with your consent, help us deliver relevant content and measure campaign effectiveness.
You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings or our cookie management interface. Disabling certain cookies may limit some platform features, but core expense tracking functionality remains available.
International Data Transfers
While tyrantholique primarily operates within South Africa, some of our service providers may process data in other countries to support our cloud infrastructure and analytics services. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for any international data transfers.
All international transfers comply with POPIA requirements and include contractual protections to maintain the same level of data protection you receive within South Africa. We regularly review our data processing arrangements to ensure continued compliance with evolving privacy regulations.
Children's Privacy
tyrantholique's expense tracking platform is designed for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 years of age. If we become aware that we have collected information from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete that information.
Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal information to tyrantholique should contact us immediately at info@tyrantholique.com so we can address the situation appropriately.
Policy Updates and Changes
We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Significant changes will be communicated through email notifications and prominent notices on our platform.
Minor updates, such as clarifications or contact information changes, will be posted directly to this page with an updated revision date. We encourage users to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect their privacy.
Continued use of tyrantholique's services after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with any changes, you may close your account or contact us to discuss your concerns.
