Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Second Drive Media ("we", "us", "our") operates seconddrive.co.za, providing independent used-car reviews and a vehicle listings service for South African buyers. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, and how we handle it, in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

What We Collect

We collect personal information only when you actively provide it to us, through:

• Our newsletter signup (email address)
• Insurance quote requests (name, email, phone, city, and which vehicle you're asking about)
• Inspection booking requests (name, email, phone, city, and which vehicle you're asking about)
• Car listing enquiries (name, email, phone, and your message about a specific listing)
• General contact form submissions (name, email, and your message)

We do not collect personal information through passive tracking beyond standard, non-identifying website analytics (page views, general traffic patterns) needed to understand how the site is used.

How We Use It

We use your information to respond to the specific request you made — sending you a quote, booking your inspection, replying to your enquiry about a car, or sending our newsletter if you signed up for it. Where you've submitted an insurance or inspection request, we share the relevant details with the specific partner able to fulfil that request (an insurance provider or inspection service centre), and with no one else. We do not sell your information to third parties.

Where It's Stored

Your information is stored in our website's database and in FluentCRM, our customer relationship management system, both hosted on our web server. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to keep this information secure.

Your Rights

Under POPIA, you have the right to:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information
• Ask us to delete your information
• Withdraw consent at any time (e.g. unsubscribe from our newsletter via the link in any email we send)
• Object to how we use your information

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
