If you choose the yearly subscription, a yearly subscription fee is charged each year to a credit card or payment account registered with Eva. Where multiple Subscribers share the same Parent, only one subscription fee shall be payable in respect of all such Subscribers (“Family Subscribers”). The fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Your purchases hereunder.

Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, in these SA Terms the following expressions shall have the meanings given to them hereunder and similar or equivalent expressions shall have corresponding meanings:
1.“Personal Information” means, in relation to POPIA, information relating to a living natural person, or juristic person and includes, but is not limited to:
2.contact details such as email addresses, telephone numbers and business or residential addresses;
3.demographic information such as age, sex, marital status, race, birth date and ethnicity;
4.historical information such as employment, financial, educational, and criminal;
5.private correspondence; and
6.private activities such as data transmissions (including the originating and destination numbers and IP addresses, date, time and duration of voice or data transmissions and other data necessary for the establishment, billing or maintenance of the transmission);
7.“POPIA” means the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013, as amended from time to time;
8.“Process” or “Processing” means the handling of Personal Information (as contemplated in POPIA) which includes the collection, use, storage, dissemination, modification or destruction thereof regardless of whether such Processing is automated or not; and
9.“RICA” means the Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-Related Information Act 70 of 2002.
In terms of POPIA, Eva has a legal duty to Process the Parent’s and the Subscriber’s Personal Information in a lawful, legitimate and responsible manner. To do so, Eva requires the express and informed permission of the Parent and the Subscriber to Process his/her respective Personal Information.
The reason for Eva requiring access to the Parent’s and Subscriber’s Personal Information is to enable it and its Service Providers to:
verify the identity of the Parent and the Subscriber;
conclude a tripartite contract with the Parent and the Subscriber, fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights in terms thereof, including but limited to, the functions of:
monitoring the Subscriber’s online activity for the purpose of compiling and providing the Parent with push alerts when potential online dangers (such as cyberbullying) or potential signs of trouble (such as depression) are identified in email or text messages and/or interactions with designated social media sites or websites involving the Subscriber; and administering and billing required in terms of the SA Terms;
comply with the applicable legislation in the Republic of South Africa; and
keep records and to report to regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable laws in the Republic of South Africa.
All Personal Information which the Parent and the Subscriber provide to Eva will be held and/ or stored in a secure manner for the purpose of enabling Eva to deliver the Service to the Subscriber in accordance with the Eva Terms.
The Subscriber’s Personal Information will be stored electronically in a database. To improve the overall quality of the Service and support thereof, the aforementioned database will be accessible to Eva’s appointed Service Providers.
Where appropriate or required by law, certain Personal Information may be retained in hard copy. Storage will be secured and audited regularly to ensure the safety and the security of the information stored therein.
Once the Parent’s and/or the Subscriber’s Personal Information is no longer required, it will be safely and securely archived for the minimum period permissible by law. Thereafter, all such Personal Information will be permanently deleted or destroyed.
In terms of section 11(3) of POPIA, the Parent and the Subscriber have the right to object, within the prescribed manner, to the Processing of his/her Personal Information by Eva. Section 11(1)(d) to (f) provides for reasonable grounds upon which such an objection may be raised, unless South African legislation otherwise provides for such Processing. Upon receipt of an objection, Eva shall be prevented from Processing such Personal Information until such time as the objection raised has been resolved and/or withdrawn by the Parent or the Subscriber, as the case may be.
The provisions of POPIA require that the Personal Information and related details supplied by the Parent and the Subscriber to Eva must be complete, accurate and up to date. It is the responsibility of the Parent and the Subscriber to advise Eva of any changes to their Personal Information, as and when such change arises.
Subject to a request complying with the procedural requirements stipulated in section51 Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000, the Subscriber has the right to request Eva to provide it with the following information:
the details of any Personal Information held by Eva on the Parent’s or Subscriber’s behalf; and
the details of how Eva has Processed the Parent’s and the Subscriber’s Personal Information.
The Parent (on his/her own behalf and on behalf of each Subscriber) declare that:
all Personal Information supplied to Eva, for the purposes of enabling it to provide the Service to the Subscriber, and related legal and operational reasons is accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive;
he/she shall immediately advise Eva of any changes to his/her Personal Information as and when this occurs;
he/she has the right to object to the Processing of his/her Personal Information as detailed in Sectionb)vii);
he/she has a right to access his/her Personal Information by giving notice to Eva, as detailed in Sectionb)viii) and to have any errors in such Personal Information rectified;
he/she understands that he/she may, subject to Sectionvi, withdraw the consent given in Sectiond), by giving written notice to this effect to Eva; he/she understands that the withdrawal of consent contemplated in Sectiond) will not affect the lawfulness of the Processing of Personal Information that occurred before such withdrawal. In addition the following categories of Processing will not be affected:
Processing necessary to carry out actions for the conclusion or performance of the Eva Terms of Service incorporating these SA Terms;
Processing that complies with an obligation imposed upon Eva by South African law;
Processing that protects a legitimate interest of the Parent or the Subscriber, as relevant;
Processing that is necessary for the proper performance of a public duty by a public body; or
Processing that is necessary for pursuing the legitimate interest of Eva or that of a third party to whom the information is supplied to; and
while Eva has developed and implemented internal policies and procedures, designed to protect the confidentiality of the Parent’s and the Subscriber’s Personal Information, the Parent and Subscriber acknowledge that:
Eva cannot be held responsible for the privacy policies and practices in use by any web or internet sites that may be accessed by the Parent or the Subscriber through use of the Service; and
Internet communications are inherently vulnerable unless they have been appropriately encrypted. Accordingly, Eva accepts no responsibility or liability of any nature, whatsoever, should the Parent’s and/or the Subscriber’s Personal Information be intercepted or lost by causes beyond Eva’s reasonable control.
The Parent (acting for him-/herself and on behalf of each Subscriber) freely and voluntarily provides Eva and its Service Providers with permission to Process its Personal Information, in accordance with the provisions of Sections2 and 3 of these SA Terms and of POPIA. The Parent and Subscriber each acknowledge that he/she understands the purposes for which such Personal Information is required and the manner in which it will be Processed, and consents to the Processing thereof.
You and the Subscriber agree that the laws of the Republic of South Africa, excluding its conflicts-of-law rules, shall govern these Terms to the extent you and/or the Subscriber reside in the Republic of South Africa.
Eva may notify you via either email or regular mail. Any inquiries you may have concerning these Terms, or to provide any notice to Eva hereunder, should be directed to: Eva Parental Beacon LLC, with a copy to [email protected]
