Your privacy is paramount. We collect essential information—such as your name, email, shipping address, and payment details—to process orders and communicate with you. Our practices comply with South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI Act), ensuring that your data is gathered only when necessary and is securely stored using measures like encryption and strict access controls.
