In respect of Personal Information for which We act as Operator:

- We will Process the Personal Information only for the purposes of providing the Platform Services and as instructed by the Responsible Party through the Platform or in accordance with the LX Connect Terms of Service;
- We will maintain reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect such Personal Information against loss, unauthorised access and unlawful Processing, as contemplated by section 19 of POPIA; and
- We will treat the Personal Information as confidential and will not disclose it except as permitted by this Policy, the LX Connect Terms of Service, applicable law, or with the consent of the Responsible Party.
Where there is any doubt as to the category into which a particular item of Personal Information falls, the matter shall be determined by reference to who, in substance, determines the purpose and the means of the relevant Processing.

Categories of Personal Information We Process
In addition to the general categories of Personal Information described above, the operational nature of the Platform means We Process the following specific categories of Personal Information. Where indicated, We Process particular categories in Our capacity as Operator on behalf of the relevant Responsible Party (as described under "Our Role Under POPIA").
- Account and KYC Data. We collect identity and verification information when You register an Account, including identity or passport numbers, copies of identity documents, photographs, addresses, contact details, company registration information, director identification, banking details, and tax registration information.

We Process continuous and intermittent location data generated through the Field Service App (FSA) and any telematics integrations used by Transporters in connection with a Consignment. This includes vehicle GPS coordinates, route data, speed and movement patterns, timestamps of arrival and departure at pickup and delivery points, border-crossing events, and Driver activity recorded through the FSA. Location data is used for Consignment tracking, route optimisation, dispatch coordination, compliance monitoring, incident response, and dispute evidence.

Purpose of Processing and Legal Basis for Processing
The Company will Process Your Personal Information in the ordinary course of the business and in relation to providing the Services. We will primarily use Your Personal Information only for the purpose for which it was originally or primarily collected. We may use your Personal Information for a further purpose only if such purpose constitutes a legitimate interest and is closely related to the original or primary purpose for which the Personal Information was collected. Your Personal Information may be Processed for, without limitation, the following:
- to provide and maintain the Services, including to monitor the usage of our Services and to contact you in relation to the Services;
- to enter into or perform in terms of an agreement to which You are a party;
- to comply with any legislation, regulation, policy and/or directive in relation to the Company, including fraud prevention;
- to protect Your legitimate interests;
- to pursue a legitimate interest of the Company or a third party to whom the Personal Information is supplied;
- transfer to or share with Our employees, service providers, agents, other companies within Our group and other third parties for the purposes as set out in this Policy;
- to provide You with news, special offers and general information about other services which we offer that are similar to those that you have already purchased or enquired about unless You have opted not to receive such information;
- to manage Your requests: to attend and manage Your requests/instructions to Us;
- for business transfers: We may use Your information to evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of liquidation, business rescue or similar proceedings, in which Personal Information held by Us is among the assets transferred;
- for other purposes: We may use Your information for other purposes, such as data analysis, identifying usage trends, determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns and to evaluate and improve Our Services. We may also disclose Your Personal Information for any other purpose with Your consent.
Automated Decision-Making, Profiling and Artificial Intelligence
We use automated systems, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning models, to support the operation, security and improvement of the Platform. The principal automated processes that may affect You include:
- Matching: matching Load Owner Consignment listings with Transporters whose route, fleet and verification status are aligned;
- Scoring: calculating and updating Trust Scores in respect of all Users, and Payment Reliability Scores in respect of Load Owners;
- Risk and fraud detection: identifying suspicious behaviour, payment defaults, anomalous use of the Platform, and potential breaches of the LX Connect Terms of Service;
- Verification: automated capacity checks for Milestone-Funded Escrow eligibility, KYC verification, and onboarding screening; and
- Access and suspension: automatically restricting or suspending access to specific Platform features (including Milestone-Funded Escrow access and full Account access) where automated thresholds set out in the LX Connect Terms of Service and the LX Connect Payment Policy are met or breached.
Where an automated decision produces a legal effect on You or significantly affects You — for example, the suspension of an Account or the loss of access to Milestone-Funded Escrow — You have the right under section 71 of POPIA to request that the decision be reviewed by a natural person. To exercise this right, please contact Our Information Officer using the details at the end of this Policy. The review will be conducted in accordance with the appeal mechanism set out in the LX Connect Terms of Service.
We may also use Personal Information in aggregated, anonymised or derived form to train, validate, test and improve Our AI and machine-learning models. Where We do so, the data is processed in a form that does not identify any individual data subject. We will not use Special Personal Information for AI training without a separate lawful basis and, where required, prior authorisation from the Information Regulator.
Aggregation, Anonymisation and Data Licence
We routinely transform Personal Information collected through the Platform into aggregated, anonymised or derived datasets, in a form that does not identify any individual data subject. We use these datasets, and the LX Connect Terms of Service grant Us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable licence to use them, for the following purposes:
- operating, maintaining, improving and developing the Platform and the Services;
- training, validating, testing and operating Our artificial intelligence and machine-learning models, as further described under "Automated Decision-Making, Profiling and Artificial Intelligence";
- generating analytics, business intelligence, market research, industry reports and insights for use internally and externally;
- sharing aggregated, anonymised or derived insights, statistics, benchmarks or research outputs with Our customers, partners, regulators, industry associations and other third parties, including for the purposes of advancing transport and logistics industry knowledge and supporting Our commercial activities;
- fraud detection, risk management, compliance and security monitoring across the Platform; and
- any other purpose that is consistent with applicable data protection laws and that does not adversely affect the rights or freedoms of data subjects.
The aggregation and anonymisation process is designed to ensure that data subjects cannot be identified, directly or indirectly, from the resulting datasets. Once Personal Information has been validly aggregated or anonymised, the resulting datasets do not constitute Personal Information for purposes of POPIA and may be used and disclosed in accordance with the purposes set out above, subject to applicable law.
By accessing or using the Platform, You acknowledge the aggregation, anonymisation and derived-data uses described in this section and grant the licence set out in the LX Connect Terms of Service in respect of any Personal Information You upload to, or that is generated through Your use of, the Platform.
We will not sell Personal Information in identifiable form. We will not share Personal Information in identifiable form with third parties for those parties' own marketing purposes without Your separate consent.
Your Choices. You may object to the Processing of Your identifiable Personal Information for the purposes described in this section at any time, by contacting Our Information Officer using the details set out at the end of this Policy. We will give effect to Your objection in accordance with the rights set out under "Retention and Storage" above, subject to the following:
- We are unable to retract Personal Information that has already been validly aggregated or anonymised before the date of Your objection, because such data no longer constitutes Personal Information identifying You and cannot be re-associated with You;
- where Your Personal Information is necessary for the operation of the Platform, the performance of a contract with You, or compliance with a legal obligation, We may not be able to give effect to the objection in respect of that Processing while the relevant purpose subsists; and
- where We rely on Your consent for any Processing in this section, You may withdraw Your consent at any time, and such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of any Processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Retention and Storage of Your Personal Information and Your Rights
The Company will retain Your Personal Information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
Retention Periods by Data Category
In addition to the general retention principles set out above, We retain the categories of Personal Information described in "Categories of Personal Information We Process" for the following indicative periods, except where a longer or shorter period is required by law:
- Account and KYC Data: for the duration of the User's Account, plus 5 (five) years thereafter for purposes of compliance with the Financial Intelligence Centre Act, POPIA and tax legislation.

After the applicable retention period, Personal Information will be permanently deleted, destroyed or Aggregated, except to the extent that We are required to retain it under Applicable Law or to defend Our legal interests in actual or threatened legal proceedings.
You have the following Rights in relation to Your Personal Information:
- Right to, upon having provided adequate proof of identification, request the Company to confirm, free of charge, whether or not the Company holds Personal Information about You;

Transfer of Your Information
Because the Platform serves the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Region, We will Process and may transfer Personal Information across borders in the ordinary course of providing the Services. Specifically:
- Personal Information collected from or generated by Users located in any SADC member state may be transferred to and Processed in South Africa, where our support teams and administrative functions are located.
- Personal Information of Drivers, consignees, Load Owners and Transporters may be transferred between SADC member states as required for the execution of a cross-border Transport Agreement (for example, sharing waybill information with customs authorities, sharing POD records with consignees in the destination country, and sharing route data with transit authorities).
- Personal Information may be transferred to third-party Service Providers located outside the SADC Region, including cloud hosting providers, identity verification providers, payment processors, telematics providers, AI and analytics providers, and compliance vendors.
Each cross-border transfer is made subject to one or more of the following lawful bases under section 72 of POPIA:
- Your consent provided by acceptance of this Policy;
- the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between You and Us, or for steps taken at Your request prior to entering into such contract;
- the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract concluded in Your interest between Us and a third party (including a Transport Agreement);
- the transfer is to a country, organisation or person that is subject to a law, binding corporate rules, or a binding agreement that provides an adequate level of protection substantially similar to POPIA.
Where We transfer Personal Information to a country that does not offer protection substantially similar to POPIA, We will implement appropriate safeguards (including contractual data-protection clauses with the recipient) and We will seek prior authorisation from the Information Regulator where required (including in respect of unique identifier information, Special Personal Information, or Personal Information of children).
Security of Your Personal Data
The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Your Personal Data, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We will ensure that our hosting service provider(s) attend to hosting of our server(s), Website, Platform and other applications that uses firewalls and other applicable security measures to prevent interference and unauthorised access to Your Personal Information.
Authorisations to access Your Personal Information will be limited to those who are required to access such Personal Information for the purposes as set out in this Policy.
Links to Other Websites
Our Services may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on Our Website, Our Platform and social media platforms and by way of communication, whether by email or otherwise of the new policy to You.
You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on our Website and/or provided to You.
