• Contact details supplied on the guest list or by the guest when responding to an invitation, such as name, email address and telephone number.
• Information needed to run the event safely, such as dietary requirements, medical requirements and driver licence details where the event requires them.
• RSVP responses, session selections and signed indemnity acceptances.
• Attendance records captured when a guest is checked in at the venue.
• Payment records for paid events. The full card number is never seen or stored by this system — see Payments and card security below.

The information is used to invite guests, manage bookings, run the event safely on the day, take payment where applicable, and report on attendance afterwards. It is not sold, and it is not used for unrelated marketing without consent.

Access is limited to authorised Porsche South Africa staff, appointed event partners and access control personnel, and is restricted to the areas each role requires. Every account is created and managed by an administrator.

Guest and attendance records are retained for as long as needed to manage the event programme and to meet legal and reporting obligations, after which they are archived or removed.

Where an event carries a fee, all card transactions are processed by Yoco, our appointed South African payment gateway provider. Transactions are processed safely and in accordance with the security and privacy measures that Yoco has in place as a regulated payment provider.

• When you choose to pay by card, you are taken to Yoco's own secure, hosted payment page to enter your card details. Those details are entered directly into Yoco's systems and are never captured by, or passed through, the Porsche South Africa Events platform.
• The full card number is never seen or stored by this system. Only the masked reference that Yoco returns — the card type, the masked number and the expiry date — is retained alongside the transaction, so that a payment can be identified and reconciled.
• Every payment outcome is confirmed directly with Yoco by our server before a booking is treated as paid. A result reported by the browser alone is never trusted.
• Transaction records are used only to confirm your booking, to issue your invoice or receipt and for internal financial reporting.

Yoco is responsible for the security of the payment process on its own platform and for the handling of card data under its own privacy terms. Please refer to Yoco for the full details of the standards it maintains.

Guests can unsubscribe from event communications using the link included in every email. To request a copy of the information held about you, or to have it corrected or removed, please contact us using the details on the Support page.
