Privacy Policy
Last updated 7 November 2026
Project CPT is Paki Lawu's 1 485 km run from Johannesburg to Cape Town, raising awareness of prostate cancer and early screening. This policy explains what personal information this website collects, why, and what you can do about it.
We keep this deliberately short and specific. We collect the minimum we need to get you to a start line, send you a ticket, or reply to you — and nothing else.
Who is responsible
Project CPT is run by Paki Lawu. For anything in this policy, including any request to see, correct or delete your information, write to pakilawu0@gmail.com.
What we collect
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| First name, last name, email address, and the town you want to run in | When you fill in the sign-up form to run a leg | To tell you where and when to be, and to know how many people to expect |
| First name, last name, email address | When you buy a ticket for the Day 1 or Day 29 events | To issue your ticket and its barcode, and to check you in on the day |
| Your message and the email address you send it from | When you contact us about partnership or press | To reply to you |
| A random visit identifier, the site that referred you, and whether you are on mobile, tablet or desktop | On every visit to this site | To count visitors and see which channels work. It is not linked to your name, email or any account |
We never see your card details
Ticket payments are taken by Yoco, a licensed South African payment provider, on their own payment page. Donations are handled by BackaBuddy. Your card number never reaches this website and we never store it. Those providers handle your payment information under their own privacy policies.
Cookies and local storage
This site sets no advertising cookies and no third-party tracking cookies.
It does store one item in your browser's local storage, under the key cpt-vid:
a random string, so that one person reloading the page is not counted as several visitors. It
contains no personal information. You can clear it at any time through your browser's
"clear site data" setting, and the site will keep working normally.
Who your information is shared with
- Supabase — hosts the database that stores sign-ups and tickets.
- Yoco — processes ticket payments.
- BackaBuddy — processes donations to CANSA.
- Vercel — hosts this website and logs ordinary web-server data such as IP addresses, for security and reliability.
- Google Fonts — typefaces are loaded from Google's servers, which means Google receives your IP address as part of that request.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.
How long we keep it
Sign-up and ticket records are kept until the end of the run and for twelve months afterwards, so that we can deal with queries and refunds, and are then deleted. Email correspondence is kept for as long as the conversation is useful. Visit counts are aggregate figures and are not tied to you.
Your rights
Under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) you may ask us to:
- tell you what personal information we hold about you;
- correct anything that is wrong;
- delete your information, where we are not required to keep it;
- stop sending you email about the run.
Email pakilawu0@gmail.com and we will deal with it within a reasonable time, normally well under 30 days. If you believe we have mishandled your information, you may complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa.
Email we send you
If you sign up or buy a ticket we will email you about that event — where to be, what has changed, your ticket. We may also send occasional updates about the run itself. Every one of those emails has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing never cancels your ticket or your place.
Children
Under-18s are welcome at the join-in events, but a parent or guardian should complete the sign-up and the ticket purchase on their behalf.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will update the date at the top of this page. The run is a moving thing and the detail may change with it.
