Our Privacy Policy sets out how de Beer Verspreiders uses and processes your personal information in compliance with the Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000 and the Protection of Personal Information Act 3 of 2013.
Our Privacy Policy applies to all users of our websites, which are accessed by users in order to purchase products and services. By making use of our websites users agree to this Privacy Policy together with our other Terms and Conditions.
By agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you provide us with your express consent and agreement that we may collect, get, receive, record, organize, collate, store, update, change, retrieve, read, process, consult, use and share your Personal Information in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy.
Users that are below the age of 18 have to obtain consent from their parent or guardian before accessing our Websites or provide us with Personal Information. We may request confirmation from your parent or guardian that they have given such consent and contact them to verify the information provided by you. Where we cannot obtain such confirmation or verify your information provided, you are not entitled to make use of our Websites and we will not use or retain your Personal Information.
Email Database
We collect your email addresses for pure purpose of the actual ordering process and will under no circumstances be used for any advertising campaigns, as we do no believe in bombarding you with unwanted advertising. We strongly believe that returning customers will buy product they need and will visit our website when and as needed.
We do not have any mailing lists at all!
Personal Data
On our own websites we capture your name, billing and delivery addresses, contact details and your order history. There is no real top-secret information here, and we do trust our security. We are committed to protecting your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorized access, modification or disclosure by using a combination of physical, administrative and technical safeguards and contractually requiring that third parties to whom we disclose your personal information do the same. Whilst de Beer Verspreiders makes every effort to secure its websites, you should note that the internet is never completely secure; thus when you submit personal information online, you should be aware that de Beer Verspreiders cannot guarantee the security of any personal information that you submit online.
Payment Details
We would never trust ourselves with building a website that will securely hold such critical data as credit card numbers. So we use Payfast for this specific reason. We do send data to them (including your order number and the amount payable) and receive data back from them (basically whether the transaction was successful). On the payment providers’ dashboards, we can see the last 4 digits of your credit card number, the card holder, issuing bank and the country in which that bank operates, but NOT the expiration date, CVC numbers, your bank balance or Vaccination status. At no point do we have access to enough data to reproduce your credit card. We can only charge your card after you have given your express consent: the only change we can make to a payment is a reduction, by reversing an authorization or refunding a payment. We cannot, under any circumstances, increase the amount that you have given authorization for.
Summary
The above, in legalese, states that de Beer Verspreiders collects information (such as your name, shipping and billing address, email address, etc.) from you that we need to:
- process your order;
- provide you with support;
de Beer Verspreiders will set and access our own cookies on your computer to allow you to buy and interact at the site. We also use web beacons to gather anonymous, aggregated statistical information (e.g. unique hits, page views, etc.) about our website traffic.
de Beer Verspreiders may share information collected by us with third parties to help process your order (e.g. shipping companies, credit card processors, etc.) or to provide statistical and demographic analysis to de Beer Verspreiders Ltd to help us and our business partners provide you with better services and offerings.
It may be necessary for us to process, transfer and/or store your Personal Information in other countries, either to carry out your instructions or for ordinary business purposes including for data storage and back-up purposes. We will ensure that your Personal Information is only transferred to countries that have the same level of protection as is required by POPIA. Where this is the case, we will only process your personal information with your consent.
de Beer Verspreiders Ltd will not share, rent, lease, or sell your personal information (e.g. your email address, your name, your address, etc.) to any third party for their independent use or benefit.
Future changes to this Privacy Policy may be made at any time by posting notice of the changes on this site.
