This page provides information about your rights as a data subject and how you can exercise them. This information should be read together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and other legal documents.
1. Our Commitment to GDPR
We are committed to ensuring that your personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently. We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data and uphold your rights.
Our data protection practices are designed to comply with the GDPR, the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of South Africa, and other applicable international data protection laws.
2. Your Data Subject Rights
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
2.1 Right of Access
You have the right to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and, if so, to obtain a copy of that data along with information about how it is processed.
2.2 Right to Rectification
You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data or completion of incomplete data we hold about you.
2.3 Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or when you withdraw consent.
2.4 Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing.
2.5 Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller where technically feasible.
2.6 Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
2.7 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
2.8 Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not currently engage in such automated decision-making.

- Your full name and email address associated with your account
- A clear description of the right you wish to exercise

- Proof of identity (we may request this to verify your identity)
We will respond to your request within 30 days. In complex cases, we may extend this period by an additional 60 days, and we will inform you of any such extension.
There is no fee for exercising your rights, unless requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data under the following legal bases:
- Contractual Necessity: To fulfil purchases, deliver products, and provide services you have requested
- Consent: For email marketing, cookies, and optional communications (which you can withdraw at any time)

When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
6. International Data Transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or your country of residence, including the United States.
Where such transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), adequacy decisions, or other legally recognised mechanisms to protect your data.
