A transparent view of how information supports the funding journey.
The final public notice should be approved by LEDA’s Information Officer and should include the organisation’s official PAIA/POPIA channels, retention rules and current operator arrangements.
Purpose and transparency
The platform processes account, identity, business, financial, application, communication and security information to provide funding services, verify applicants, assess applications, prevent fraud, manage agreements, service facilities, comply with legal duties and protect the platform.
Information collected
Depending on the stage of the funding journey, this can include contact details, identity and authority information, company and beneficial-ownership information, financial records, supporting documents, application decisions, audit data, device/security events and customer-service interactions.
Lawful processing and separate permissions
Not every processing activity relies on consent. Where consent is appropriate or legally required, it is requested for the relevant purpose. Registration acceptance does not automatically authorise every credit-bureau, identity, marketing or third-party check.
Security and retention
Platform controls include role-based access, secure sessions, encrypted document handling, audit logging, integrity controls and restricted administrative access. Retention should follow LEDA’s approved records schedule and applicable statutory requirements.
Your rights
Data subjects may request access or correction and exercise other rights available under POPIA, subject to lawful limitations. LEDA’s approved production notice should provide the official Information Officer and PAIA/POPIA request channels.
Technology is only one part of compliance.
Effective privacy governance also requires approved policies, operator agreements, retention schedules, incident procedures, staff training, access reviews and evidence that these controls are operating as intended.
