What we collect

This website does not accept file uploads and does not use analytics or tracking scripts. Information reaches us in two ways: through the forms on the site (the contact form, the Ixia DQ demonstration request and the Data Quality Health Check request), or through the specialist and client resourcing pages, which invite you to email us your details and, where relevant, your CV or a job specification, directly.

A form sends only what you type into it: typically your name, company, contact details and your message. An email brings us exactly what you choose to write and attach: typically your name, contact details, and, for specialists, your professional background and CV.

How form submissions reach us

Form submissions are delivered to our business email by Web3Forms, a form-to-email service that processes them on our behalf. Its privacy policy states that it operates from India on Amazon Web Services and related infrastructure, transmits submissions over HTTPS and encrypts them at rest, may pass a sender’s IP address and email address to its spam-filtering services (CleanTalk and Akismet), and retains submission data for up to three years. The website itself does not store what you submit. If you would rather not use a form, email us directly at info@ixiaconsulting.co.za.

Why we collect it

To respond to your enquiry, and, for specialists who submit a CV, to consider you for relevant contract, interim or permanent assignments with Ixia or its clients. Submitting a CV does not guarantee placement.

Where it is held

In Ixia’s business email environment, and, for form submissions, with Web3Forms for the retention period described above. The website itself does not store CVs, job specifications, form submissions or the personal information in them.

How long we keep it

We keep specialist information for as long as it may reasonably be relevant to current or future assignments, and review it periodically. If you would prefer we did not, contact us using the details below and we will remove it.

Access, correction and deletion

To see what we hold about you, correct it, or ask us to delete it, email info@ixiaconsulting.co.za. We will respond to reasonable access, correction or deletion requests promptly.

Third parties

We do not sell or share your information with third parties for marketing. Web3Forms handles form submissions as our processor, as described above. Where a specific client engagement requires sharing a specialist’s profile with a prospective client, we do this only with the specialist’s knowledge.
