Privacy & Cookies
We believe in being transparent about what we collect and why — nothing hidden, nothing complicated.
What This Is About
This space is about authentic workplace engagement. When you visit, share your thoughts, or reach out, we want to be clear about what information we gather and how we use it.
We collect only what helps us serve you better and keep this space functioning smoothly. No hidden agendas, no selling your information — just what's needed to support meaningful connections around workplace alignment.
Information We Collect
When You Contact Us
If you fill out a contact form or reach out about a coffee meeting, we collect:
- Your name and email address
- Your organization (if you share it)
- Any messages or questions you send
- Your responses to our workplace engagement survey (if you choose to take it)
We use this information to respond to your inquiries, arrange meetings, and understand what workplace challenges resonate most with visitors.
Website Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how people interact with this site — which content draws attention, what flows well, and what might need improvement. This helps us refine the experience over time.
The analytics show us patterns like which pages people visit most, but never personal details about individual visitors.
Security & Form Protection
We use reCAPTCHA to protect our contact forms from spam and automated submissions. This helps ensure that real people can reach us while keeping unwanted traffic away. The Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
How We Use Cookies
Cookies are small files that help websites remember your preferences and function properly. We use them thoughtfully:
Essential Cookies
These keep the website working — loading pages smoothly, remembering your cookie preferences, and maintaining security. They're always active because they're necessary for the site to function.
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how people use the site so we can improve it. They don't track you personally — they just show us patterns like which pages are most helpful.
You can choose whether to allow these through the cookie preference center that appears when you first visit.
Your Choices & Rights
Cookie Preferences
You can change your cookie settings at any time. Essential cookies will remain active to keep the site working, but you can turn off analytics cookies if you prefer.
Your Information
If you've shared information with us, you can:
- Ask to see what information we have about you
- Request changes to any incorrect information
- Ask us to delete your information
- Withdraw consent for how we use your information
Contact Us
For any questions about privacy, cookies, or how we handle your information, reach out to us at hello@alignedworkplace.co.za. We're happy to discuss this openly and simply.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information. All form submissions are encrypted, and we don't store more information than necessary. We use reputable services (like Resend for email and Google for analytics) that maintain strong security standards.
Third-Party Services
We work with a few trusted services to make this site function:
- Google Analytics — for website analytics
- Google reCAPTCHA — for form security
- Resend — for sending emails
- Vercel — for website hosting
Each has their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data. We've chosen services that align with our values of transparency and user respect.
