Privacy and accessibility.
What we do with your details, and the standard this site is built to.
Privacy notice
This notice covers this website and its contact form. It is written to meet the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
- Who is responsible
- Circle AR (Pty) Ltd, registration 2026/758278/07. Contact: info@circlear.co.za.
- What we collect
- Only what you type into the contact form: your name, your email address, your organisation if you give one, which of the listed groups you belong to, and your message.
- Why
- To read your message and reply to you. We do not use it for anything else, and we do not sell it or share it for marketing.
- Who handles it
- Our website host (Vercel) and our email service (Brevo) pass your message to our mailbox. They process it for us and are not allowed to use it for their own purposes. They may do so on servers outside South Africa.
- How long we keep it
- For up to 12 months after our last message to you, then we delete it. Ask us sooner and we delete it sooner.
- Cookies and storage
- This site sets no cookies and has no advertising or tracking scripts. If you use the High contrast or Larger text buttons, your browser keeps two small settings on your own device so the choice is remembered. They are never sent to us.
- Your rights
- You can ask to see what we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted. Email us. If you are unhappy with our answer, you can complain to the Information Regulator at inforegulator.org.za.
Accessibility statement
Many of the people Circle AR is built for will meet it first through this site, so we built it to work with a screen reader, with a keyboard alone, with magnification and at the largest text size.
- The standard
- We aim for WCAG 2.2 level AA, and for text contrast of at least 7 to 1, which is stricter than level AA asks. A test in our build checks every text colour pair in every look and stops the site from being published if one falls short.
- Your controls
- The bar at the top of every page has two buttons: High contrast (black, white and yellow) and Larger text. Your choice is remembered on your device. The site also follows your device settings for high contrast, dark mode, reduced motion and forced colours, and the text size you set in your browser.
- What we did
- Every page has a skip link, headings in order, labelled form fields with errors written next to each field, visible keyboard focus and a description for every image. Buttons and links are at least 44 pixels tall on a phone. Pages reflow when you zoom to 400 percent.
- The sample voice
- The audio on this site is a sample voice. Its words are written out next to it. The rangers' own recordings replace it.
- How we tested
- With automated accessibility checks, with our contrast test, and by using every page with a keyboard only. We have not yet tested with blind or partially sighted people or with a full set of screen readers. That testing is planned and we will add what we learn here.
- Report a problem
- Email info@circlear.co.za or call +27 83 338 9961. Tell us the page and what happened, and we will reply within two working days.
