Privacy Policy
Last updated: 17 August 2026
Dammetjies Holdings respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit or buy from our online store, why we collect it, how we keep it safe, and the choices you have. We process personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).
1. Who We Are
Dammetjies Holdings, 57 Wessel Lourens Drive, Brackenfell, Western Cape, 7560, South Africa, is the responsible party for the personal information described in this policy. You can reach us at sales@dammetjiesholdings.co.za.
2. Information We Collect
- Order and contact details you give us: name, email address, phone number, delivery and billing address.
- Purchase information: the products you order, order value, order history and delivery status.
- Payment information: processed directly by our payment providers through Shopify Checkout. We never see or store your full card details.
- Reviews and content you choose to submit, such as product ratings and comments.
- Technical information: device type, browser, approximate location and pages viewed, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To process, pack, deliver and support your orders.
- To communicate with you about your order, delivery or a query you raised.
- To publish product reviews you submit.
- To send you newsletters or specials, where you have asked to receive them. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- To improve our store, product range and site performance.
- To prevent fraud and to meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations.
4. Sharing Your Information
We share personal information only where it is necessary to run our store, and only with providers who are bound to keep it confidential:
- Shopify, which hosts our checkout and processes orders and payments.
- Payment gateways used by Shopify Checkout to authorise your payment.
- Courier and delivery partners, to deliver your order.
- Our hosting and database providers, which store site and review data securely.
We do not sell or rent your personal information. Where information is processed outside South Africa by these providers, we rely on their contractual and technical safeguards to give it comparable protection.
5. How Long We Keep It
We keep order and invoice records for as long as the law requires (generally five years for tax purposes). Marketing contact details are kept until you unsubscribe. Reviews stay published until you ask us to remove them.
6. Security
Our site is served over encrypted connections, payments are handled by PCI-compliant providers, and access to customer data is limited to people who need it to fulfil your order. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect your information.
7. Your Rights
Under POPIA you may ask us to:
- Confirm what personal information we hold about you and give you a copy.
- Correct or update information that is inaccurate or out of date.
- Delete information we no longer need to keep.
- Stop sending you marketing communications.
- Object to processing in certain circumstances.
Email sales@dammetjiesholdings.co.za and we will respond within a reasonable period. You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa.
8. Children
Our store is intended for customers aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
