Payments may be processed by third-party payment service providers. We do not intend to store full payment card details on our website unless a specific authorised payment arrangement expressly provides otherwise.

2.4 Technical and Website Usage Information

When you browse our website, certain technical information may be collected, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referral information and interactions with website features.

We will not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the purpose for which it was collected, unless otherwise permitted by law.

4. Legal Grounds for Processing

We process personal information where a lawful basis applies, including where:

  • Processing is necessary to fulfil an order or take steps requested by you before entering into a transaction.
  • Processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
  • You have provided consent, where consent is required.
  • Processing is necessary for a legitimate business purpose that does not unlawfully infringe your rights.
  • Processing is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.


Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it, subject to legal and contractual limitations. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before the withdrawal.

5. Sharing Your Information

We may share relevant personal information with trusted third parties where necessary to operate our business and provide our services.

These may include:

  • Payment service providers processing transactions.
  • Courier and logistics providers delivering orders.

  • Government authorities, regulators or law enforcement agencies where required or authorised by law.


We aim to share only the information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose. Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards are in place.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

6. Payment Security

Payments made through our online shop may be handled by third-party payment providers. Your payment may also be subject to the provider’s own terms, privacy policy and security procedures.

We use reasonable measures to protect order and transaction information. However, no electronic transaction or method of internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Marketing Communications

Where permitted by law, we may use your contact information to communicate relevant product news, offers, promotions and business updates.

You can opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe option included in the message or by contacting us directly.

We will respect applicable requirements relating to consent, unsolicited electronic communications and direct marketing.

Opting out of marketing will not prevent us from sending essential communications relating to an existing order, account, transaction or service request.

8. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support shopping cart functionality, remember preferences, maintain customer sessions, improve security and understand website usage.

Where enabled, analytics and marketing technologies may collect information about interactions with the website.

Non-essential cookies and similar technologies will be managed in accordance with applicable legal requirements and any relevant consent preferences.

Please refer to our Cookie Policy for more information.

9. Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including order fulfilment, customer support, accounting, legal compliance, dispute resolution and legitimate business requirements.

Certain transaction and accounting records may need to be retained for periods prescribed by law.

When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy or de-identify it, subject to applicable legal obligations.

10. Information Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

These measures may include access controls, security monitoring, secure website connections, appropriate system maintenance and limiting access to personal information to authorised individuals.

Although we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a security compromise occurs, we will respond in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

11. Cross-Border Transfers

Some third-party service providers may store or process information outside South Africa.

Where personal information is transferred across borders, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer complies with POPIA and any other applicable legal requirements, including the requirements relating to the protection of personal information in the receiving jurisdiction.
