Prosper Nkala Inc. respects privacy and processes personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) and other applicable South African law.
1. Responsible party and contact details
The responsible party is Prosper Nkala Inc., Thornhill Office Park, 94 Bekker Road, Vorna Valley, Midrand, 1686, South Africa. Privacy enquiries may be sent to attorney@prospernkalainc.co.za.
2. Information we may process
Depending on your interaction with the firm, this may include:
- identity, contact, organisation and role information;
- the contents of enquiries, correspondence and documents you choose to provide;
- matter, counterparty and transaction information required for conflict checks or legal services;
- billing, payment, FICA and compliance information where a mandate is accepted; and
- technical information ordinarily recorded by a website host, such as IP address, browser type and access logs.
3. Why information is processed
Personal information may be processed to respond to enquiries, perform conflict checks, decide whether the firm can accept a mandate, provide legal services, administer the client relationship, comply with legal obligations and regulatory requirements, and manage the firm's operations and risks.
4. Lawful processing
The firm processes information only where a ground recognised by POPIA or another law applies. Depending on the circumstances, this may include consent, steps required to conclude or perform a contract or service request, compliance with legal obligations, and legitimate interests pursued by the firm or third parties.
5. Sharing and cross-border processing
Information is not sold. It may be shared, only where appropriate, with personnel and service providers bound by confidentiality, advocates, experts, correspondent or foreign counsel, auditors, regulators and courts where disclosure is required by law or justified by the circumstances of the mandate.
6. Security and retention
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal information. Information is retained only for as long as necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law.
7. Your rights
Subject to POPIA and other applicable law, you may request access to personal information, ask that inaccurate information be corrected, request deletion where legally permissible, object to processing, and request restriction of processing.
You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa).
8. Cookies and external services
This version of the website does not deliberately use advertising or analytics cookies and does not contain a web enquiry form. Your browser, network provider or website host may nevertheless collect technical information such as IP address, access time and pages visited.
9. Confidentiality of initial enquiries
Although the firm treats communications responsibly, sending an enquiry does not by itself establish an attorney-client relationship or confirm that the firm is able to act. Avoid sending privileged, confidential or sensitive information until conflict clearance is confirmed.
