Confidentiality comes first. This policy explains what personal and business information we collect across our website and applicant portal, why we collect it, who can reach it, how long we keep it, and the rights you hold over it.
Anathéto Investments (Pty) Ltd ("Anathéto", "we", "us") is founded on a confidentiality-first commitment. We handle information about our applicants, clients, directors, owners, guarantors and counterparties with care, discretion and respect for the trust you place in us.
That commitment applies to every person whose information reaches us — not only to the individual who submits an application. Where an application includes details about directors, owners or guarantors, those individuals are entitled to the same standard of confidentiality set out in this policy.
This policy describes the information we collect, how we use and protect it, the circumstances in which it may be shared, how long we retain it, and the rights available to you.
This policy applies to personal and business information processed through:
The data controller is Anathéto Investments (Pty) Ltd, a company registered in Namibia (Registration No. 2025/0104) with its registered office at Unit 32 Bougain Villas, Klein Windhoek, Windhoek, Namibia. Our privacy contact is The Administrator, reachable at info@anathetoinv.com.
This document is the single authoritative privacy policy for Anathéto Investments (Pty) Ltd. It supersedes any earlier privacy notice published on our website or within the portal.
We collect information in the following ways:
The portal offers two sign-in routes, and both are disclosed here:
Where you submit an application, we collect the information you provide across the application stages. These include:
For reference, the controller's own registered particulars — which appear on business profiles submitted to us — are: Anathéto Investments (Pty) Ltd, M&A Advisory, Registration No. 2025/0104, Unit 32 Bougain Villas, Klein Windhoek, Windhoek, Namibia. Enquiries may be directed to info@anathetoinv.com.
When you use our website or portal, we automatically collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and session timestamps. This helps us keep the services secure and functioning.
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
Evaluating your business profile, financial position and strategic fit.
Responding to enquiries, providing updates and requesting clarification.
Delivering advisory, transaction and consultancy services you have engaged us for.
Meeting our legal, regulatory and risk-management obligations.
Detecting, preventing and addressing fraud, abuse or security incidents.
Understanding how our platform is used so we can make it better.
Our platform uses proprietary algorithms and automated tooling to help our team analyse and organise the information you submit. This processing supports our advisory work; it does not replace human judgement.
In particular:
Third-party providers that process information on our behalf are identified in section 5.
We apply layered technical and organisational safeguards to protect the information you entrust to us:
Data stored in our database is encrypted at rest using AES-256.
All traffic between your browser and our services is protected using TLS.
Row-level security policies restrict access to your records. Only your own account and authorised Anathéto staff can reach them. This is logical access control, not physical isolation — our providers, described in section 5, also process the data on our behalf.
Google OAuth 2.0 is supported for authentication. Where you set a password directly, it is stored hashed and never seen by our staff.
No system is completely secure. While we take these measures seriously, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a breach affecting your information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.
Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to your information:
Request a copy of the information we hold about you.
Export your data in a portable format at any time.
Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Request erasure of your information ("right to be forgotten").
Object to certain processing, including direct marketing.
Request human review of any automated decision affecting you.
A note on erasure. We will action erasure requests promptly. However, we may need to retain certain information where we are required to do so by law, or where it is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Where retention is required, we keep only what is necessary and for no longer than necessary.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in section 11.
We retain information only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, or for as long as the law requires.
Retention period: 3 years. A three-year period aligns with the prescriptive period for contractual claims under the Prescription Act 68 of 1969, section 11(d).
When you request erasure, we remove your information from active systems promptly. Residual copies held in encrypted backups are purged on our backup cycle.
Residual copies held in provider backups are purged within a defined period consistent with our hosting and database providers' backup and recovery cycles.
We handle information in accordance with the laws that apply to us, including:
Where a regulator has jurisdiction, we will engage with that regulator. The relevant supervisory authorities include the Information Regulator of South Africa and the European supervisory authorities. Nothing in this section amounts to a concession that a particular law applies to us where it would not otherwise do so.
If you have a question about this policy, or wish to exercise any of the rights described in section 7, please contact us:
