Privacy policy
This policy explains what personal information is collected when you use structsense.co.za (the site), why it is collected and what your rights are. It is written to meet the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA).

StructSense is offered by Lequbu Specialised Services (Pty) Ltd in partnership with Daphron Consulting. Lequbu Specialised Services (Pty) Ltd is the responsible party for personal information collected through the site.

2. What we collect and why
| Information | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiry detailsname, email address, organisation, message | When you email us | To answer you and, if you ask, to prepare a proposal |
| Account detailsemail address, password (stored only as a protected hash) | When an account is created for you and when you sign in | To control access to the showcase |
| Sign-in sessionaccount identifier, email address, expiry time | While you are signed in | To keep you signed in for up to 12 hours |
| Technical dataIP address, browser type, pages requested, time | On every visit | To deliver the site and keep it secure |
We do not use the site to collect special personal information, and we do not use analytics, advertising or tracking tools.
3. Cookies
The public pages set no cookies. When you sign in, the site sets one cookie that holds your sign-in session. It is strictly necessary for access to the showcase, it cannot be read by scripts, and it expires after 12 hours or when you sign out.
4. Who processes information for us
- Amazon Web Services hosts the site and delivers it through its content delivery network. Site files and account records are stored in the AWS Africa (Cape Town) region.
- Sign-in directories. Accounts are held in Amazon Cognito. People who already have a RoadSense platform account can sign in with it; the site checks that account against the RoadSense user directory and does not change it. Guest accounts are held in a separate StructSense directory.
- Google Fonts supplies one typeface. Your browser requests it from Google, which receives your IP address.
We do not sell personal information and we share it only with these operators, with Daphron Consulting where needed to answer an enquiry, or where the law requires it.
5. Transfers outside South Africa
Pages are delivered from the network location closest to you, and fonts are served by Google, so technical data may be processed outside South Africa. Those providers are bound by contract or law to protections similar to POPIA.
6. How long we keep it
- Enquiries: for as long as we are in contact, and up to three years after the last contact.
- Accounts: until access is no longer needed or you ask us to remove the account.
- Shared demonstration logins identify no individual and are withdrawn when a demonstration period ends.
7. Security
The site is served only over encrypted connections. Signed-in content is checked on the server for every request, and passwords are never stored in readable form. If a breach affects your personal information, we will notify you and the Information Regulator as POPIA requires.
8. Your rights
You may ask us to confirm what personal information we hold about you, to give you a copy, to correct it or to delete it. You may object to our processing it and you may withdraw consent. Email admin@lequbu.co.za and we will answer within a reasonable time.
You may also complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa: inforegulator.org.za.
9. Children
The site is intended for business use and is not directed at children.
10. Changes
We will post any change to this policy on this page and update the effective date.
