Privacy statement
Secutraq is a business division of Multicloud Network Solutions (Pty) Ltd and any reference herein to Secutraq includes reference to Multicloud.
Your privacy is critically important to us. The data remains yours after all!
We like to provide you with personalised webservices, which makes it necessary for us to hold and process your personal data. According to the legal definition, personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. It is sufficient that the data allow us to establish a (direct or indirect) link between one or more data-pieces and a natural person.
At Secutraq, we are committed to making sure that your personal data is kept confidential, and that it is only used for those specific purposes that are in-line with Secutraqs mission to assist you with Security Workforce Tracking and Management and/or your facility-related service requests (Service Desk). We are convinced that a privacy statement is essential to create confidence, goodwill and stronger relationships with you, our customers. That is why we inform you in the most extensive manner about the collecting and processing of your personal data. Therefore you will always be aware of the type, the extent of, and the purposes for which personal data are collected and used.
By providing you this information we confirm our compliance with the legislative conditions as required by the South Africa (POPI) and European (GDPR) data protection legislation, in relation to the Processing of Personal Data (Privacy Act), EU Data Protection Directive 95/46 EC.
We assume that the user of our applications has taken notice of this Privacy Statement. Be aware that we do occasionally update this Privacy Statement, and that it is your responsibility to examine and take notification of any change made to this document. So please do return and review this Statement on a regular basis. Any substantial change will be clearly communicated.
If you still have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Statement, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@secutraq.com. We’d love to hear your feedback.
1. Who is responsible for the data processing?
The Privacy Act draws a distinction between a ‘data controller’ and a ‘data processor’. We provide you with a clear notice of this distinction, as this is extremely important to avoid some ambiguity about responsibilities.
Data controller
The data controller is every natural person and/or legal entity that determines the purposes and the means (legal and technical) of the processing of personal data. This determination can be done alone or jointly with others.
The party managing www.secutraq.com (our website), ‘Workforce Tracking and Management’ and ‘Service Desk’ is:
Multicloud Network Solutions (Pty) Ltd
5 Upper Lake Lane, Constantia Kloof, Roodepoort, Gauteng, South Africa
Registration Number:
Tel: +27 (10) 0720554
Email: infor@secutraq.com
Be aware that Multicloud Network Solutions through its business division Secutraq, is only the data controller for the processing of personal data for its own purposes, such as the processing of personal data of our (potential) customers in relation to sales, service delivery, invoicing, customer relationship management and direct marketing.
If you are a user of Workforce Tracking and Management or Service Desk, or if you are a customewr of one of our customers, our customer will be the ‘data controller’ and Secutraq will be acting on our customer’s behalf and will therefore be acting as our customer’s “data processor”. In such case, our customer is the one assuming responsibility for the processing of personal data through our services.
2. What information do we collect about you?
We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal data.

We keep a record of your data as long as your account is active, or as long as your personal data is necessary to offer you a particular service. We promise to delete your personal data as soon as this data is no longer required for the aforementioned purposes. The deletion is comparable to deleting files on your computer using the ‘trash bin’, allowing us to recover the data to a certain extent for some time. In addition, we may need to keep certain personal data due to legal obligations, for example to prove that we have provided you a service or due to tax reasons. Please note that if we are acting as a data processor, we have to act upon our customer’s instructions regarding data retention.
