Who processes it

Form submissions are processed by systems operated by Shepherd Suite (Pty) Ltd on the foundation's behalf, under an operator agreement, and are not used for the company's own purposes.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry details only as long as we need them to deal with your request, or as the law requires for donation and tax records.
