Privacy policy.
Last updated: 12 November 2026
We only use the details you send us to answer your enquiry, quote, install and support your order. We do not sell your information, send unrequested marketing, or use cookies or trackers on this website.
01Who we are
Greenline Aluminium ("Greenline", "we", "us") supplies and installs aluminium windows, doors and related products in the Western Cape. We are the responsible party for the personal information described here, as defined in the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA).

02What we collect
| When | What |
|---|---|
| You use the quote request form | Your name, phone number, email address (optional), town or area, the products you choose and your message. |
| You WhatsApp, call or email us | Your name, number or email address, what you tell us about your project and any photos or sizes you send. |
| You become a client | Site address, measurements, quotes, invoices and what is needed to install and support your order. |
| You visit the website | Our hosting provider's server records your IP address, browser type, the pages you open and the time. This is standard for every website and is used for security and fault finding. |
We do not ask for special personal information (such as health, religion or biometric data) or information about children, and we ask you not to send it.
03Why we use it
- To answer your enquiry and prepare a quote.
- To measure, order, install and give after-sales support for your products.
- For invoicing, guarantees and our legal, tax and accounting records.
- To keep the website secure and working.
We rely on your request (taking steps to conclude or perform a contract), our legal obligations and our legitimate interests, as POPIA allows. We only use your information for these purposes.
04Marketing
We do not send marketing messages unless you ask for them, and we never sell or rent personal information. If we ever send you information about our products, you can opt out at any time and we will stop.
05Who we share it with
- Our suppliers, who build products to measure for us, receive the sizes and details needed for your order.
- Service providers who process information for us under contract (POPIA "operators"): our website host xneelo (South Africa) and Microsoft 365, which carries our email and the website form messages.
- Authorities, only where the law requires it.
06Information outside South Africa
Microsoft 365 may store or process email in South Africa or in other countries. Microsoft is bound by data protection terms that give protection substantially similar to POPIA, as section 72 of POPIA requires. The website itself, its server records and the form run on servers in South Africa.
07Cookies and tracking
This website does not use cookies, analytics, advertising trackers or social media pixels, and does not store anything in your browser. Fonts and images are served from our own server. See our cookie notice.
08How long we keep it
Enquiries that do not lead to an order: up to 2 years. Client records: as long as needed for your guarantee and after-sales support, and at least as long as tax and company law require (normally 5 years after the last transaction). Server records are kept by our host for security. After that, information is deleted or anonymised.
09How we protect it
Access is limited to our team and the suppliers who need it. Email and the website use encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), our accounts are protected, and the form can only send to our own mailbox. If a security breach affects your information, we will tell you and the Information Regulator as POPIA requires.
10Your rights
You may ask us, free of charge, whether we hold your personal information and for a copy of it; ask us to correct, update or delete it; object to how we use it; and withdraw consent where we rely on it. Email sales@greenlinealuminium.co.za. We may need to confirm your identity first, and we will reply within a reasonable time. See our POPIA policy for how requests are handled.
11Complaints
Please contact our Information Officer first at sales@greenlinealuminium.co.za. You may also complain to the Information Regulator (South Africa): email POPIAComplaints@inforegulator.org.za, phone 010 023 5200, Woodmead North Office Park, 54 Maxwell Drive, Woodmead, Johannesburg, 2191. Current details are on their contact page.
12Changes
We will update this policy if what we do with personal information changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
