Privacy Policy (POPIA)
1. Who we are
BuyWorldZa is a sole proprietorship trading as BuyWorldZa, Juan-Pierre Greyling, 149 Kruger Street, Rustenburg, 0299, North West, jpgreyling44@gmail.com, 066 263 4772. We are the "responsible party" for the personal information described in this policy.
2. Our Information Officer
Juan-Pierre Greyling, jpgreyling44@gmail.com. Our Information Officer is registered with the Information Regulator of South Africa and is the person to contact about anything in this policy.
3. What we collect, and why
- Name, email, mobile number and delivery address — to process and deliver your order (performance of the contract).
- Order history — for returns, warranties and queries (contract and legitimate interest).
- IP address and cookie identifiers — to keep the store secure and see which pages work (legitimate interest; non-essential cookies only with your consent).
- Marketing email or WhatsApp — only with your explicit opt-in, which you may withdraw at any time from the link in every message.
4. What we do not collect
We never see or store your full card number. Payment details are entered on our payment provider's own secured page — Yoco — and processed by them as an independent operator. We do not collect identity numbers and we do not buy or rent personal information from anyone.
5. Who we share it with
Only the operators needed to deliver your order: Yoco (payment), The Courier Guy (delivery and tracking), and our store and email hosting provider Cloudflare Pages. Each has a written agreement with us requiring confidentiality and appropriate security (POPIA s21). We do not sell personal information.
6. Does your information leave South Africa?
Store files and email are hosted by providers outside South Africa (Cloudflare and Google), so personal information is processed outside the country. Payment is handled by Yoco, a South African payment provider. Where an operator processes personal information outside South Africa, we rely on that operator's safeguards as POPIA permits.
7. How long we keep it
Order and invoice records: 5 years, because tax law requires it. Marketing consent records: until you withdraw them. Cookie data: per the cookie notice.
8. How we protect it
HTTPS across the store, access limited to the owner, unique passwords with two-factor authentication on the store and payment dashboards, and no customer lists stored on personal devices or in spreadsheets.
9. Your rights
You may ask what personal information we hold, ask us to correct or delete it, object to processing, withdraw marketing consent, and complain to the Information Regulator (inforegulator.org.za). Requests to jpgreyling44@gmail.com. We verify your identity first and respond within 30 days.
10. Security compromise
If your personal information is accessed by an unauthorised person, we will notify you and the Information Regulator as soon as reasonably possible after discovery, as POPIA requires.
Returns & Refunds
- Changed your mind: cancel within 7 days of receiving the goods, no reason needed (ECTA s44). Items must be unused with the seal intact.
- 30-day policy: we also accept unused returns within 30 days of delivery.
- Faulty goods: within 6 months you choose repair, replacement or a refund, and we pay the delivery cost (CPA s20).
- Refund timing: within 5 business days of receiving the returned item, to the original payment method.
- How: email jpgreyling44@gmail.com with your order number; we send a return instruction and a tracking reference.
- Damaged in transit: send photos within 48 hours of delivery and we replace it at our cost.
