Privacy Notice
Zenith Private Wealth (Pty) Ltd, trading as Zenith Private Wealth Academy, is the responsible party and data controller for personal information processed through this academy. This notice explains what we collect, why, and the rights you have.
Last updated 31 August 2026.

Zenith Private Wealth (Pty) Ltd is registered in South Africa. For any privacy matter, contact admissions@zenithwealth.org.
2. Information we collect and why
- Account data — name, email address, authentication identifiers (including Google sign-in identifiers). Used to create and secure your account. Legal basis: performance of our contract with you.
- Membership and entitlement data — plan, purchases, subscription status and dates. Used to grant access to the right programmes. Legal basis: contract.
- Learning data — lessons viewed, completion, progress and certificates issued. Used to run the academy, show your progress and issue verifiable certificates. Legal basis: contract.
- Enquiries and support messages — the details you submit through admissions or support. Used to reply to you. Legal basis: legitimate interests and, where you initiate it, contract.

Payment card details are never collected or stored by us. Payment information is collected directly by Paddle as Merchant of Record.
3. Who we share information with
- Service providers — hosting, database, authentication, storage and video delivery providers acting as our processors.
- Paddle — our Merchant of Record, for sale of the product, subscription management, payments, invoicing and tax compliance.
- Professional advisers — legal, accounting and audit advisers where necessary.
- Authorities — where required by law, regulation or valid legal process.
We do not sell personal information.
4. International transfers
Our providers may process data outside South Africa, including in the EEA, UK and United States. Where that happens we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses, and require appropriate safeguards from each provider.
5. Retention
Account, learning and certificate records are kept for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to support verification and dispute handling. Transaction and tax records are retained for the period required by law (generally five years). Enquiry and support records are kept for up to three years. When information is no longer needed it is deleted or anonymised.
6. Your rights
Under POPIA and, where applicable, the UK/EU GDPR you may request access to your personal information, ask for correction or deletion, object to or request restriction of processing, request portability, and withdraw consent for marketing at any time. Email admissions@zenithwealth.org and we will respond within one month. You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa) or your local supervisory authority.
7. Security
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit, access controls, row-level authorisation on member data and private storage for downloadable resources. No system is perfectly secure; please use a strong, unique password.
8. Cookies
We use strictly necessary cookies and local storage to keep you signed in and to secure the session. Payment and video providers may set their own cookies when you open checkout or play a lesson. We do not use advertising cookies. You can manage cookies in your browser, though disabling essential cookies will prevent sign-in.
9. Changes
We will update this notice as the academy develops and revise the date above. Material changes will be communicated to members by email or in-app notice. See also our Terms & Conditions.
