How we use personal information

Personal information is used only for lawful business purposes and in a manner that is relevant to the products and support offered on this website. Where POPIA applies, processing is based on consent, the taking of steps at your request before supplying goods, performance of a contract, compliance with legal duties, or legitimate business interests that do not override your rights.

We do not offer third-party repair services, large format printing or unrelated marketing services through this website, and your information is not collected for those purposes.

Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared only where it is reasonably necessary to operate the business, complete an order or comply with the law.

This may include trusted service providers such as website hosting, analytics, payment processing where applicable, couriers, and professional advisers or regulators when legally required. These parties may only process information on appropriate instructions and with suitable confidentiality and security measures.

If personal information must be transferred outside South Africa, reasonable steps will be taken to ensure that the recipient is subject to a law, agreement or binding arrangement that provides an adequate level of protection consistent with POPIA.

Cookies, analytics and security

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working properly, understand general traffic patterns and improve performance. Cookies do not usually identify you directly, but they may be linked to other information where necessary for site administration or enquiry handling.

Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are used to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure or destruction. These measures may include access controls, secure systems, limited staff access and service provider oversight. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, but we take practical steps to reduce risk.

Your rights under POPIA

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, request correction or deletion, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You may also ask us to update inaccurate or incomplete information.

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate, misleading or outdated information
  • Request deletion where information is no longer needed, subject to legal record-keeping duties
  • Object to processing in certain circumstances
  • Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator if you believe your rights have been infringed

Requests can be submitted through the enquiry form on our contact page. We may need to verify identity before acting on a request. This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in law, business operations or website functions, and the latest version published on this site will apply.
