1. Overview
NJMTECH operates a portfolio website at https://njmtech.co.za. Email is used only to support legitimate site operations: responding to contact inquiries, sending transactional confirmations, and delivering newsletter content to subscribers who opt in. We do not use email for unsolicited bulk messaging or advertising on behalf of third parties.
2. Mail service provider
Outbound and notification email for this website is delivered using Google Gmail through an authorized Google application (Gmail API / app credentials). Google processes message transmission on our behalf in accordance with Google's terms and privacy policies. NJMTECH remains the data controller for information you submit through this site.
3. Purposes of email use
We use email to:
• Notify Nhlanhla Junior Malaza when a visitor submits the contact form.
• Send an automated confirmation to the sender after a contact form submission.
• Send welcome and update messages to newsletter subscribers who provide consent.
• Respond manually to inquiries when follow-up is required.
We do not use email data for unrelated profiling, resale, or third-party marketing.
4. Information collected
Depending on how you interact with the site, we may process:
• Your name and email address (contact form or newsletter signup).
• Subject line and message content you provide.
• Technical metadata necessary to deliver email (timestamps, delivery status).
We do not request or store Gmail mailbox contents beyond what you voluntarily submit through this website.
5. How we use email information
Information is used solely to operate the mail service described above, prevent abuse (including rate limiting), maintain service reliability, and comply with applicable law. We do not sell, rent, or trade your email address or message content to third parties.
6. Storage and security
Contact and subscription records may be stored in secure application databases and email systems under our control. Access is limited to Nhlanhla Junior Malaza and systems required to operate the website. We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
7. Google API Services User Data Policy
If Google user data is accessed through Google APIs, NJMTECH's use of that information complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Google user data is used only to provide or improve user-facing features of this site, is not transferred to third parties except as necessary to provide the service, and is not used for serving advertisements.
8. Retention
Contact form correspondence is retained only as long as needed to respond to inquiries and maintain reasonable business records. Newsletter subscriber records are kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion. You may request removal of your data at any time using the contact details below.

Under applicable data protection law, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) in South Africa, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you.
