Terms of Use

These terms apply to the website and Finweb eCampus operated by Finweb Business Consultancy (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2011/131523/07. They must be read together with any course-specific enrolment agreement. Nothing in these terms limits rights provided by South African law.

1. Responsible use

Use our website and learning platform lawfully. Do not share account credentials, access another person’s information, distribute harmful material, interfere with systems or reproduce protected content without permission. Keep your login details secure and report suspected misuse promptly.

2. Courses and learning materials

Course availability, entry requirements, fees, access periods, assessment and certification requirements are governed by the applicable course information and enrolment agreement. Non-accredited short courses are separate from accredited qualifications. Participation does not guarantee employment, funding or certification.

Learning materials are provided for authorised educational use. Redistribution, resale or unauthorised recording is prohibited unless permitted by law or written permission.

3. Privacy and personal information

Finweb processes personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA).

Information you provide through enquiries, registration or learning activities may be used to respond to requests, administer enrolments, deliver training, manage assessments and meet applicable legal obligations. Depending on the service, this may include contact details, learner records, account information and assessment results.

Processing must have a lawful basis, such as contractual necessity, a legal obligation, a permitted legitimate interest or consent where required. Required information and the consequences of not supplying it will be explained when collected.

Relevant information may be shared with authorised personnel, contracted service providers, assessors, sponsors or education authorities where necessary and lawful. Any overseas processing must satisfy POPIA’s applicable transfer requirements.

4. Your information rights

Subject to applicable legal requirements, you may request access to or correction of your personal information, object to certain processing, request deletion where appropriate, or withdraw consent for future consent-based processing. Identity verification may be required.

Information must be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for its lawful purpose or applicable recordkeeping obligations. Reasonable safeguards must protect it against loss, misuse and unauthorised access.

You may raise concerns with Finweb or lodge a complaint directly with the Information Regulator South Africa.

5. Cookies and website technologies

The learning platform may use cookies or similar technologies for authentication, security and essential functionality. Any optional analytics or marketing technologies must be explained, with appropriate choices provided where required.

You can manage cookies through your browser, although disabling essential cookies may affect access to learning services. External websites have their own privacy and cookie practices.

6. Communications

Necessary account, course and service communications are separate from promotional messages. Electronic direct marketing must comply with applicable law and provide an appropriate opt-out mechanism. Browsing the website does not constitute blanket consent to marketing or unrelated processing.

7. Availability and statutory rights

Finweb may update website content or perform maintenance. Uninterrupted access is not guaranteed. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or removes applicable consumer, privacy or other statutory rights. South African law applies.

Material changes to these terms will be communicated appropriately and will not retrospectively reduce existing contractual rights.
