Accessibility
The FNB Varsity Cup website is designed to be accessible via all main Web browsers and browsing devices. We strongly recommend that you use the latest version of your preferred browser. The most up-to-date version of your preferred browser is normally available as a free download from the relevant browser manufacturer's website.
The latest versions of browsers are more secure than older versions, which is particularly important when doing your banking via the Internet.
Most Windows based PCs are preinstalled with Microsoft Internet Explorer, therefore it is the most commonly used browser. Because of this, Internet Explorer is the browser most attacked by viruses and spyware.
If you use Internet Explorer it is particularly important to run a virus scanner regularly and keep it updated with the latest security patches from Microsoft.
Other good browsers for Windows PCs, such as Opera and Mozilla Firefox, are available free of charge.
At this stage, FNB Varsity Cup does not support all hand-held devices.
Caching
Browsers have the ability to cache information, that is, to remember a page or an image from a website. This makes Internet surfing quicker because when you return to a Web page previously visited, the browser can present a stored page without having to request the page from the server again.
The FNB Varsity Cup pages are delivered with instructions to the browser not to cache (remember) the information. While most browsers obey these instructions, Internet Explorer ignores them and under certain circumstances you may view a cached page of information.
To prevent this make sure that Internet Explorer has the following settings:
- >>Tools >> Internet Options >> Advanced >> Do not save encrypted pages
- >>Tools >> Internet Options >> General >> Settings >> Automatically
- >>Tools >> Internet Options >> Advanced >> Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed

We respect your privacy and your personal information and for this reason, we take all reasonable measures, in accordance with this Policy, to protect your personal information and to keep it confidential, even when you are no longer our customer.
We also voluntarily subscribe to the principles, outlined in Section 51 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 2002 ("ECT Act"), which govern your right to having your personal information kept private. We briefly outline these principles below:
- We will only collect, disclose, collate, process and store ("use") your personal information with your express written permission unless legally required to do so, and will only use such information for the lawful purpose for which it is required.
- We will disclose in writing, the specific purpose for which we use, request and store your personal information. We will also keep a record of that personal information and the specific purpose for which we collect it.
- We will not use your personal information for any other purpose, other than that which we disclosed to you, unless you give us your express written permission to do so, or unless we are permitted to do so by law.
- You hereby provide us with your express written permission to use your personal information, share certain of your personal information with an affiliate party (which includes companies within the FirstRand Group, our subsidiaries, our shareholders and other business partners), to analyse and combine your personal information for the purposes of compiling a profile of you, and to send promotional material to you in the ordinary course of our business of providing you with the services.
What is Personal Information?
Personal information refers to information that identifies or relates specifically to you, for example, your name, age and identity number, your assets and liabilities, your income and your payment records. Any information about what you buy, where you shop, where you bank, how you invest and all related information will also be regarded as personal information. In short, any information that we know about you will be regarded as your personal information.
How we collect your Personal Information
Whenever you use this website, complete an application form, contact us electronically, or use one of the services or facilities offered by us or any affiliate party, we will collect your personal information.
Why and How we collect and use Personal Information
In order to make your use of this website and services offered on this website as successful and pleasurable as possible, it is necessary for us to find out exactly what you need and want from us.
The following are reasons why we would collect your personal information:
to identify you;
- in order for us to process your instructions or requests;
- in order for us to ensure that we meet your needs, we may collect and analyse your personal information and combine all the information that we have about you to compile a profile of you in order for us to personalise and tailor our services to meet your specific needs;
- once we have collected and analysed your personal information, we may send you promotional material or details which we think may be of interest to you. If any of this promotional information relates to products, promotions, news or services of an affiliate party, and if you indicate that you would like more details, we may inform the affiliate party to contact you directly. We will however, only inform an affiliate party to contact you directly if you have indicated that this is agreeable to you.
- Your privacy is important to us. We will therefore not sell, rent or provide your personal information to unauthorised entities or other third parties, for their independent use, without your consent.
If at any stage, after you have given us your consent, you no longer wish us to use or share your personal information with an affiliate party, you may at any stage withdraw your consent.
