In general, this policy indicates how and why we collect and process personal information.
Due to the nature of our business, we are necessarily involved in the collection, processing and disclosure of personal information of clients, prospective clients and other persons who interact or attempt to transact with us. Any person whose information we collect is known as a “data subject” in this policy.

We may collect and process personal information for any legitimate purpose, including (but not limited to) the following: to ensure that we offer sound and professional services; to ensure the good upkeep, development and safeguarding of our business; and to protect and promote our legitimate interests (collectively, the “Moore JHB Purpose”).
