Last Updated: 06-01-2025

I am Alex Weiss, a sole proprietor, located at 13A 5th Avenue Parktown North 2193, Johannesburg, South Africa. I am responsible for processing personal data as outlined in this privacy policy.

Personal data I process

I process personal data because you use my services and/or because you provide these data to me yourself. Below is an overview of the personal data I may process:

  • First and last name

  • Email address

  • Phone number (if provided)

  • Data you submit via the contact form

  • Data collected by Google Search Console regarding website performance (such as search queries and click data)

  • Contract performance (when you engage in services from me).

  • Legitimate interest (to improve my website and analyse its performance through Google Search Console).

Automated decision making

I do not make decisions based on automated processing that have significant consequences for you.
