7. JOURNALISM AND NEWS REPORTING

Africa Jamz FM is a news and media organisation.

As part of our journalistic activities, we may collect, process and publish information about individuals when there is a legitimate editorial or public-interest reason to do so.

Published information may include names, photographs, statements, quotations, professional information, locations and other information relevant to news reporting.

Africa Jamz FM recognises the importance of balancing privacy with freedom of expression, freedom of the press and the public’s right to receive information.

Information processed for legitimate journalistic purposes may therefore be subject to different considerations from information collected through ordinary website services.


8. NEWS TIPS AND SUBMISSIONS

If you send Africa Jamz FM a news tip, photograph, video, document, recording or other material, you should make sure that you are authorised to provide that material.

You should carefully consider whether your submission contains personal, confidential or sensitive information about yourself or another person.

Information submitted to Africa Jamz FM may be reviewed by our editorial team and may be used for legitimate journalistic purposes.

Submitting material does not guarantee that Africa Jamz FM will publish it.

We may contact you to verify information, request additional details or clarify your submission.


9. NEWSLETTERS AND EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS

If Africa Jamz FM offers newsletters or other email communications, you may choose to subscribe.

If you subscribe, we may use your email address to send the communications you requested.

You may unsubscribe from promotional or newsletter communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided in the relevant email or by contacting us at:

editorial@africajamzfm.com

Even after unsubscribing from marketing communications, we may still contact you where necessary for legitimate non-marketing purposes.


10. SHARING YOUR INFORMATION

Africa Jamz FM does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

We may, however, share information where reasonably necessary with trusted service providers who help us operate our website and services.

These may include:

  • Website hosting providers;
  • Technology providers;
  • Analytics providers;
  • Email and newsletter providers;
  • Advertising providers;
  • Professional advisers;
  • Payment providers, where applicable; and
  • Government, law-enforcement or regulatory authorities where required or permitted by law.

We will only share information where there is a legitimate reason to do so and, where applicable, appropriate safeguards are in place.


11. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND LINKS

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including social-media platforms, news sources, advertisers and other websites.

Africa Jamz FM is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites.

When you leave our website and visit another website, that website’s own privacy policy and terms will apply.

We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.


12. SOCIAL MEDIA

Africa Jamz FM may operate accounts or pages on social-media platforms and may include social-media features on our website.

If you interact with us through social media, your information may also be processed by the relevant social-media platform.

Social-media platforms operate under their own privacy policies and terms.

Please remember that information you publicly post or share on social media may be visible to other people.


13. DATA SECURITY

Africa Jamz FM takes reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to help protect information held by us.

However, no website, electronic communication or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore understand that transmitting information over the Internet always carries some level of risk.

If we become aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will take reasonable steps to investigate and address the incident and make any notifications required by applicable law.


14. HOW LONG WE KEEP INFORMATION

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

The length of time information is retained may depend on:

  • The type of information;
  • Why the information was collected;
  • Legal or regulatory requirements;
  • Our legitimate business requirements; and
  • The need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

When personal information is no longer required, we may delete, securely destroy or anonymise it.


15. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on the laws applicable to you, you may have certain rights relating to your personal information.

These may include the right to:

  • Ask whether we hold personal information about you;

  • Request deletion of personal information where legally appropriate;
  • Object to certain types of processing;
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • Request restriction of certain processing; and
  • Object to direct marketing.

These rights may be subject to legal limitations and exceptions, particularly where information is processed for legitimate journalistic, legal or public-interest purposes.

editorial@africajamzfm.com

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.


16. SOUTH AFRICAN USERS AND POPIA

We aim to process personal information lawfully, reasonably and transparently and to collect information for specific and legitimate purposes.

If you are in South Africa, you may have rights under POPIA regarding access to, correction of and objection to the processing of your personal information.

19. PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION

As a news organisation, Africa Jamz FM may report information that is already publicly available where there is a legitimate editorial or public-interest reason to do so.

We aim to consider privacy, accuracy, relevance and public interest when making editorial decisions.
