Last updated: 21 September 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how The Salamander Production Company Pty Ltd ("The Salamander Co.", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit our website or contact us.
Who we are
The Salamander Co. is operated by The Salamander Production Company Pty Ltd, a South African company. For privacy-related questions, contact us at andrew@thesalamanderco.com.
Information we collect
We may collect the following types of information:
Information you provide
When you submit a form on our website (for example, the Contact or Ecopreneurships forms), we collect the details you enter, such as your name, email address, organization, message content, and any other fields you choose to complete.
Analytics and usage data
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. This service helps us measure page views, referrers, and general traffic patterns. Cloudflare Web Analytics is designed to be privacy-friendly and, in its standard configuration, does not use cookies to track individual visitors across sites.
We may introduce Google Analytics or similar services in the future. If we do, we will update this policy and our Cookie Policy to describe what is collected and how you can manage your preferences.
Technical and hosting data
Our website is hosted on Cloudflare. As part of delivering the site, Cloudflare and our hosting infrastructure may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser type, device information, and request logs for security, performance, and reliability.
CMS administration
Access to our internal content management area at /admin/ is restricted to authorized users. That area uses a session cookie to keep administrators signed in. This cookie is not used on public marketing pages.
How we use your information
We use personal information to:
- respond to inquiries and form submissions;
- evaluate Ecopreneurships applications and other business correspondence;
- operate, secure, and improve our website;
- understand aggregate website usage through analytics;
- comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
Legal bases for processing (UK / EEA visitors)
If you are in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, we process personal information on the following bases, as applicable:
- Consent: where you submit a form or otherwise provide information voluntarily;
- Legitimate interests: to operate and improve our website, respond to business inquiries, and understand site usage in a proportionate way;
- Legal obligation: where we must retain or disclose information to comply with law.
How we share information
We may share information with service providers that help us run our business and website, including:
- Cloudflare: website hosting, security, and web analytics;
- Google: form processing via Google Apps Script (for Contact and Ecopreneurships submissions), and potentially Google Analytics in the future;
- Professional advisers: where reasonably required (for example, legal or accounting advice).
We require service providers to handle information appropriately and only for the purposes we specify. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or others.
International transfers
We and our service providers may process information in South Africa and in other countries where our providers operate. Where required, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
How long we keep information
We retain form submissions and correspondence for as long as needed to respond, manage our relationship with you, and meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Analytics data is generally kept in aggregated form according to our providers' retention settings.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal information, or to object to certain processing. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
To exercise your rights, contact us at andrew@thesalamanderco.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's privacy
Our website is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change when we do. Material changes may also be noted on the website.
