UbuntuNet

Compliance & privacy

Measurement you can stand behind.

UbuntuNet is built to measure audiences, not to identify people. Every sensor counts anonymously, every reading is aggregated at the edge, and everything we do is designed to comply with South African law.

POPIA by design

UbuntuNet (Pty) Ltd operates under the Protection of Personal Information Act. Our measurement products are built to collect no personal information — no images are stored, and no individual is ever identified.

B-BBEE certified

UbuntuNet holds a valid B-BBEE certificate. Request a copy for your procurement or supplier-verification records through the contact form.

Anonymous and aggregated

Audience data is aggregated at the sensor and reported as counts and segments in UbuntuInsights — auditable, and never traceable to a person.

How the measurement stays anonymous

Our sensors are counters, not cameras that keep what they see. Readings are summarised on the device at the site before they ever reach the cloud, so there is no raw feed to expose or misuse — only aggregate figures, surfaced together in UbuntuInsights.

What we measure

  • Anonymous counts, classifications and dwell time from UbuntuVision and UbuntuSense.
  • Verified footfall from UbuntuCount at entry points.
  • Only what a visitor voluntarily provides on the UbuntuConnect WiFi portal — such as an email address or a survey answer — and only for the purpose shown at the point of collection.

What we never do

  • Store images or video from a measurement sensor.
  • Identify, name or recognise an individual across visits or sites.
  • Run interactive tracking on billboards — a billboard face is measured for who passed, not for what they did.
  • Sell or share raw personal data.

Your rights and requests

Under POPIA you can ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to its processing. UbuntuNet has appointed an Information Officer to handle these requests, and our access-to-information manual is published in line with Section 51 of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA).

Reaching the Information Officer

Submit any of the following through the contact form and the Information Officer will respond directly:

  • Data subject requests — access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information under POPIA.
  • A copy of our current B-BBEE certificate.
  • Our PAIA manual (Section 51), available as a PDF on request.
