Privacy notice

Last updated: 10 November 2026

This notice explains how Skyprops 1024 CC handles personal information through the Sakina Forest Retreat website and Founders Circle.

Who is responsible

Skyprops 1024 CC is the responsible party for this website and mailing list.

For privacy enquiries, contact hello@sakinaretreats.com. You can also reach us at sakinaforestretreat@gmail.com.

Information we collect and why

When you ask to join the Founders Circle, we use your email address and subscription, confirmation and withdrawal records to manage the list and send opening news, first looks and occasional Sakina updates. Joining is voluntary and based on your consent. If you choose not to join, you can still browse the website.

We ask you to confirm your email before completing your subscription. If you contact us, we also receive the information in your enquiry and use it to respond.

Our hosting and security services may process technical information such as your IP address, browser details and request information to deliver the website, check form submissions and prevent abuse. The signup service uses a hashed email address for short-term rate limiting.

Service providers and external features

We use Brevo to manage email confirmations and the mailing list, and Cloudflare for website hosting and security. Our public email address forwards enquiries to our Google-hosted mailbox. These providers process information needed to provide their services.

The website requests fonts from Google Fonts and map resources from OpenFreeMap when those features load. Those requests can share technical information, including your IP address, with the providers. If you follow a Google Maps or Instagram link, that service’s own privacy notice applies.

We do not sell the Founders Circle mailing list. We share information with service providers as needed to operate the website and mailing list, or where disclosure is required by law.

Processing outside South Africa

Our providers operate internationally, so information may be processed outside South Africa. We require appropriate safeguards for this processing, including applicable data-processing agreements and contractual protections. You may contact us for information about the providers and safeguards relevant to your information.

How long information is kept

We keep subscriber information while you remain subscribed and it is needed to provide the updates. After you unsubscribe, limited suppression and consent records may be retained to honour your request, resolve disputes or meet legal obligations. We review information and delete or de-identify it when it is no longer needed for those purposes.

Your choices and rights

You can withdraw consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in a Founders Circle update or by emailing us. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

You may request access to your personal information, ask for correction or deletion, or object to processing, subject to applicable law. We may need to verify your identity to protect your information when handling a request.

You may also lodge a complaint with South Africa’s Information Regulator, which provides complaint procedures and contact details.

Changes to this notice

We may update this notice as Sakina develops or our services change. The date above identifies the current version.
