We will not share, sell, or otherwise distribute the financial or personal information of our Clients, or those who otherwise provide personal information to us, to any other persons or organisations in any way other than what is disclosed in this Notice.

PMGA is aware of its personal data obligations towards its Clients and hence this Notice and PMGA’s personal data protection policy and practical implementation will always be compliant with South African law and international best practice.

We respect the privacy of everyone who visits this website. As a result, we would like to inform you regarding the way we would use your Personal Information. We recommend you read this Privacy Notice & Consent to Use of Personal Information (“Notice”) so that you understand our approach towards the use of your Personal Information. By submitting your Personal Information to PMGA, you will be treated as having given your permission – where necessary and appropriate – for disclosures referred to in this Notice.

If the data has not been collected directly from the data subject, the source of collection will be provided together with name and address of the party.
