Privacy Policy & Website Disclaimer

Ducko Down (and any entity associated or owned directly or indirectly by Ducko) takes cognisance of the importance of protecting your personal information and as such subscribes to the principles, outlined in Section 51 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 2002 that governs your right to having your personal information kept private.

This Privacy Policy relates to the collection and use of personal information you may supply to us through your use of any of our service channels and such policy therefore governs the manner in which your Personal Information will be dealt with.

Ducko Down defines Personal Information as all information specific to yourself that is provided to us via our website or any other channel. This includes, but is not limited to, personal information that is provided to us in the course of our business, while obtaining an online quotation, asking questions via email or during requests to amend or view your personal facility data.

Ducko Down will also use this information to positively identify you when you contact us.

We value the information that you choose to provide us and will therefore take reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse or unauthorised alteration. The information we maintain concerning our customers is stored in databases that have built-in safeguards to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of that information.

Ducko Down uses modern technology and encryption to prevent any unauthorised access to your Personal Information. We keep appraised with the latest global developments in security technology to ensure that your transactions with us are adequately secured and protected at all times.

You must always keep your personal information and any account numbers or details secret and ensure that you do not disclose it to anyone.

Should you at any time feel that you no longer wish to be contacted by us, you should advise us to that effect in writing via email to email address mail@ducko.co.za. We retain all data that is required for us to discharge our business activities for an indefinite period for historical, statistical and research purposes. We have established appropriate safeguards against the records being used for any other purposes.

Ducko Down does not and will not sell or provide personal information to third parties for independent use. We may, however, share personal information with our business partners if that information is required to provide the product or service you have requested. However, our business partners will adhere to using your information only as directed by Ducko Down.

The following list includes but is not limited to some of the instances when we disclose the personal information obtained from you:

3. To enforce and protect our rights and property (including intellectual property) and/or where we have a legitimate interest to do so;
4. When you have expressly authorised us to do so; or if we undergo a change in ownership.

Please ensure that you have read and understood the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy before you provide us with your personal information.

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Save as expressly provided to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, the amended version of the Privacy Policy shall supersede and replace all previous versions thereof.
