Privacy Policy

Read.Build.Succeed (“RBS”, “we”, “us”) is a podcast operated by H1 Holdings. We are the responsible party / data controller for the personal information described in this policy. Questions? Email [CONTACT EMAIL].

Newsletter sign-ups. When you join our list we collect the email address you provide and the date you subscribed. We do not require any other personal details.

Basic technical data. Like most websites, our host and any analytics we use may process standard server/usage data (such as IP address, browser type, and pages viewed) to keep the site secure and understand traffic in aggregate.

We use your email address solely to send you the updates you signed up for — reading notes, episode news, and occasional editorial insights. We use aggregate technical data to operate, secure, and improve the site. We do not sell your personal information.

We process your email address on the basis of your consent, given when you submit the newsletter form. You can withdraw consent at any time (see “Your choices” below). Where applicable, we rely on legitimate interests to run and protect the website.

We share your information only with the trusted service providers that help us operate the podcast and website — such as our content, email, podcast-hosting, and website-hosting partners. They act on our instructions, process data only as needed to provide their service, and are bound by their own privacy and security terms. We do not sell your personal information.

Some of these providers may process data outside South Africa; where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards for those cross-border transfers.

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them in our cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time. For details, see our Cookie Policy.

We keep your email address until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, after which we remove it from our active list within a reasonable period.

Under POPIA (South Africa) and, where applicable, the GDPR, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and you may object to or restrict its processing. To exercise any of these rights, email [CONTACT EMAIL]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa.

Unsubscribing. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link, or you can email us to be removed.

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
