Introduction

We operate in the Republic of South Africa. The company is fully compliant with the Protection of Personal Information Act No. 4 of 2013 (“POPIA”) and acts as both a responsible party and an operator on behalf of data subjects that The company performs processing for. The company is committed to compliance with all relevant South African laws in respect of personal data, and the protection of the “rights and freedoms” of individuals whose information The company collects and processes in accordance with POPIA.
This Data Privacy Policy Notice is intended to provide transparency to data subjects about what happens with their personal data.
POPIA applies to the processing of personal data wholly or partly by automated means (i.e. by computer) and to the processing other than by automated means of personal data (i.e. paper records) that form part of a filing system or are intended to form part of a filing system.
POPIA will apply to the processing of all personal information for a responsible party where the responsible party is domiciled in the Republic of South Africa or not domiciled in the Republic, but makes use of automated or non-automated means in the Republic, unless those means are used only to forward personal information through the Republic. The Company qualifies under all these categories. The company qualifies in some instances as a responsible party and in some instances as an operator, POPIA therefore applies.
Persons accessing the website and e-store subject themselves to and agree to the company’s terms & conditions and privacy policy, as set out below.
