Privacy Policy
Your trust matters to me. This page explains, in plain language, what information I collect when you use this website or work with me, and how I look after it. Last updated: 26 August 2026.
Who I am
Koobsie Admin Co is the virtual assistance practice of Kobie Abrie, based in Somerset West, South Africa. For the purposes of the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA), Kobie Abrie is the responsible party for personal information processed through this website. You can reach me on WhatsApp at +27 82 560 6488.
What I collect
I only collect information you choose to share with me: your name, contact details (such as your phone number or email address), your business name, and anything you tell me about your admin needs when you message me on WhatsApp, connect on LinkedIn, request the 5-Minute Admin Audit checklist, or complete an enquiry form on this site. This website does not use advertising trackers, and nothing here is used to build a profile of you or to follow you around other websites. I do keep simple visitor statistics so I can see which pages are useful, and those are explained under Cookies below.
How I use it
I use your information to respond to your enquiry, send you the resources you asked for, arrange discovery calls, and, if we work together, to deliver virtual assistance services to you. If you request the free checklist, I may follow up once or twice to hear how it went. I do not send marketing blasts, and you can ask me to stop contacting you at any time.
When I work inside your business
As a virtual assistant, clients often give me access to inboxes, diaries, documents and financial admin. I treat everything I see as strictly confidential, use it only to do the work you have asked me to do, and hand back or delete it when our work together ends. Where needed, I am happy to sign a confidentiality or operator agreement.
Sharing
I never sell or rent your information. I only share it with the service providers that make this website and my communication work, such as my website hosting provider, WhatsApp (Meta) when you message me there, and LinkedIn if you connect with me on that platform. Each of those services has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle your data.
Cookies
When you first arrive, a small notice asks whether you are happy for me to measure visits. You can accept or decline, and the site works exactly the same either way.
Necessary cookies. A few cookies are needed for the website itself to work, and for remembering the choice you made on that notice. These are always active, because without them the site cannot function.
Statistics. If you accept, I use Burst Statistics to count visits: which pages were viewed, roughly where in the world the visit came from, which device was used, and which site referred you. It sets a cookie so that one person visiting three pages is not counted as three different people. These statistics live on my own website rather than being sent to an advertising company, and I use them only to understand which pages are worth improving.
What I do not do. There are no advertising cookies, no third-party tracking pixels, and nothing is sold or shared with advertisers.
You can change your mind at any time using the cookie settings link at the bottom of any page. If you decline, no statistics cookie is set.
How long I keep it
I keep enquiry details only as long as needed to help you, and client records for as long as we work together plus any period required by South African law (for example, tax records). After that, information is deleted.
Your rights
Under POPIA you may ask me at any time what information I hold about you, ask me to correct or delete it, or object to how it is processed. Just send me a WhatsApp message. If you are not happy with my response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa (inforegulator.org.za).
Changes to this policy
If I ever change how I handle personal information, I will update this page and change the date at the top.
