Privacy

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of our websites which are used to access and purchase our products and services.

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to set out how, why and when BUY MY SNEAKER uses your Personal Information so as to comply with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (“POPI”).

It is very important for all users to first read through and understand all the information in this Privacy Policy, as well as the terms and conditions page here, before using our platforms.

We respect your privacy and take the protection of Personal Information very seriously. We strive to deliver excellent service every time you make use of our services, and to do this, we need to use some of your Personal Information. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle the Personal Information we collect about you and/or receive from you. By using our websites or mobile app, you agree to the processing of your Personal Information as set out in this Privacy Policy.

THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND PROCESS

We strictly only request for any personal information when it is utterly necessary. This is why we have separated all the different instances whereby a user would have to provide some personal information to ensure that we only ask for what is needed to perform a specific function, with your permission, and nothing more.

Personal information submitted within our mobile app is never shared, never accessed without a specific and distinct purpose, and is not even available to staff members.

 

– When creating an account:

If a user chooses to create an account within the app, we only require the following basic information:

  • Full name
  • Contact no
  • Email address

We require this basic information to tie an account to the user. We ask for both the email address, and the contact number so that there are two avenues to recover an account should the user not be able to access or use one of them.

Once an account is created using this basic information, it is never accessed or used at all.

 

– When making a purchase:

When a buyer is purchasing an item and placing an order, it is an obvious requirement to request the personal and delivery information from the users.

This information is used to ship the product, and then it is never accessed again until necessary again.

As you can see, we were very conscious about privacy and how we collect information when developing this new mobile app.

 

WHY DO WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We process the Personal Information we collect and receive to:

  • identify you;
  • verify your identity;

By accessing and using the Platform, you consent to us retaining records of your Personal Information for no longer than may be necessary to achieve the purpose for which the information was initially collected or subsequently processed.
