The platforms are intended as a space for constructive participation and contribution and all activity undertaken on them should reflect and support this underlying mission.
The platform may only be used by individuals who are at least thirteen years of age.

Users of PPP’s sites are expected to act lawfully and responsibly and you unequivocally agree that you will not post or distribute content that constitutes hate speech, incites violence, exploits vulnerable groups or spreads disinformation that can be harmful. You must not harass, abuse or threaten other users, nor may you upload or share material that is illegal, harmful or sexually explicit. Impersonation of others, misrepresentation of your identity or affiliation, and the use of the platform for criminal or fraudulent purposes, including phishing, spamming or distributing malicious code are strictly prohibited. PPP reserves the right to cooperate fully with law enforcement authorities and regulators should unlawful conduct be detected and to institute claims for damages in any relevant jurisdiction.
All content created and shared by users remains their property. However, by posting content on PPP, you grant PPP a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive and transferable licence to use, display, reproduce adapt and distribute that content within the platform and for limited purposes consistent with the mission of PPP.

PPP reserves the right to moderate and, where necessary, remove content or restrict or suspend user accounts if conduct is found to be in breach of these Terms, contrary to applicable law, or inconsistent with the spirit and values of the platform. Decisions of this nature are exclusively at PPP’s discretion.
PPP is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA), and where applicable, international standards such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Privacy Policy sets out what data we collect, the legal basis on which it is processed, how long it is retained and the rights you have in respect of that data. We take care to ensure that any transfer of data across borders occurs only where adequate protections are in place, but depending on where you access the sites from and or in which jurisdiction you are, data may inadvertently be transferred across border(s), as the data centres used for the platforms may be based in different territories.
PPP takes appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard personal information and to secure the platform against unauthorised access, misuse or cyberattacks. You acknowledge, however, that no system is completely immune from risk and that you use the platform at your own discretion and wholly accept the risk involved with accessing our sites and applications.
