This notice explains the main data protection commitments Lethela applies under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
Last updated: 18 June 2026. Use this page as the platform-facing POPIA summary for customers, vendors and riders.
How we process information
- We process personal information for specific platform purposes, including account management, orders, delivery, vendor approval, rider onboarding, support, safety and payment reconciliation.
- We collect only information reasonably needed to run accounts, orders, onboarding, support, fraud prevention and platform operations.
- We aim to keep information accurate, relevant and secure.
- We limit access to personal information to authorised staff, providers and operating partners who need it.
- We take reasonable steps to investigate and respond to privacy incidents and security compromises.
- We keep records only for as long as lawful and operationally necessary.
POPIA conditions we use as a checklist
- Accountability: we assign privacy responsibility and keep practical records of platform data use.
- Processing limitation and purpose specification: we avoid collecting unnecessary data and explain why information is needed.
- Further processing limitation: we do not reuse personal information for unrelated purposes without a lawful reason.
- Information quality and openness: we aim to keep account, vendor, rider and order records accurate and understandable.
- Security safeguards and data subject participation: we protect records and give users a way to ask for access, correction or deletion where the law allows.
Your rights
- You may request access to personal information held about you.
- You may ask for incorrect information to be corrected.
- You may object to certain processing where POPIA allows it.
- You may request deletion where retention is no longer justified or where the law permits it.
- You may complain to the Information Regulator if you believe your information was processed unlawfully.
