To the disclosure of his/her Private Information by the Supplier to any third party, where the Supplier has a legal or contractual duty to disclose such personal information. The Consumer further agree to the disclosure of his/her personal information for any reason, permitting the Supplier to carry out or comply with any business obligation the Supplier may have or to pursue a legitimate interest of the Supplier in order for the Supplier to perform its business on a day-to-day basis.
To the extent that he/she is exposed to or insofar as personal information of other Consumers or third parties have been disclosed to him/her, the Consumer hereby agree to be bound by appropriate and legally binding confidentiality and non-usage obligations in relation to this personal information of third parties or Consumers.
To consent and authorise the Supplier to transfer his/her private information outside of the Republic of South Africa for any legitimate business purpose of the Supplier. The Supplier undertakes not to transfer or disclose his/her private information unless it is required for its legitimate business requirements and shall comply strictly with legislative/statutory requirements and limitations in this regard.
