Privacy & POPIA
Verification only works if people know exactly what is being checked. This is what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.
Privacy (POPIA)
We process personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act. Verification checks run only with your explicit consent, and you can withdraw consent at any time.
We collect only what verification and the marketplace require. Investors see verification outcomes and deal information, never your raw bank data. We do not sell personal information.
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time via hello@ironlion.app.
What we check, and with whose consent
Verification runs at three levels before a deal goes live: the director’s identity, checked against Home Affairs records with biometric face matching; the business, confirmed as registered and in good standing at CIPC with the applicant confirmed as a director; and the money, with bank account ownership and live cash flow verified through open banking, direct from the bank.
Every check runs with the business’s explicit consent, in line with POPIA. Businesses see what will be checked before they agree, and can withdraw consent at any time.
We collect only what verification requires, share verification outcomes — not raw bank data — with investors, and never sell personal information.
