Policy
Who pays, what gets labelled, what we will not do, and what happens to your data. Short, because it needs no hedging.
NexTechSA takes no payment for editorial coverage. A piece appears because it is worth reading, never because a company paid for it.
Running costs come out of the founder's pocket. Later on the plan is a newsletter sponsor and paid job listings. Neither buys a mention inside an article.
Any sponsored item carries the word Sponsored at the top, in the same size as the headline. The sponsor gets no say over wording, no preview and no veto. Affiliate links, if we use them, get named as affiliate links in the same sentence.
No press releases rewritten as news. No vendor content under a practitioner byline. No paid reviews. No removing a published piece because a company asked.
Marius Yssel works in enterprise security and infrastructure. Where a piece touches a client, an employer or a supplier of his, the article says so in the first paragraph.
Errors get fixed openly. The correction sits at the foot of the piece with the date and what changed. Nothing gets quietly edited away.
Practitioners write in their own words, or we interview them and they approve the result before publication. Nobody pays to appear.
We count visits with Google Analytics, and only after you agree. Decline and no tracking script loads at all. Your answer sits in your own browser and we never ask a second time.
Analytics records pages viewed, rough location, device type and where you arrived from. Your IP address is shortened before storage. We see numbers, never names.
The newsletter is run on MailerLite. It holds your email address and the date you confirmed it. Nothing else. One click unsubscribes you and removes the record.
The contact form posts to this site's own handler. Your name, email and message go to hello@nextechsa.co.za and stay in that mailbox. No third-party form service sits in the middle.
We sell nothing, share nothing with advertisers, and run no advertising cookies.
To change your analytics answer, clear this site's data in your browser and choose again.
