PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: 1 January 2020

CFW Fans (Pty) Ltd


1. Introduction

Respecting and protecting your personal information (please refer to the definition of Personal Information at the end of this policy statement) is very important to us. It is a Constitutional right, a legal requirement under the Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013 (POPIA), and a good business practice — all of which we take very seriously.
This Privacy Policy applies to all services, websites, and mobile applications operated by CFW Fans (Pty) Ltd (“CFW Fans”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), including any Android or Apple iOS apps published under our company name on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

2. Our Commitment to Data Protection

In line with the eight Conditions for the Lawful Processing of Personal Information in POPIA, CFW Fans (Pty) Ltd undertakes to:
  • Accept joint responsibility and accountability with you to responsibly manage and protect your Personal Information when providing our services, solutions, and digital products (including apps).
  • Receive and process only the Personal Information necessary for the specific purpose of assisting you, concluding necessary agreements, and considering the legitimate interests of all parties concerned.
  • Use your Personal Information only for the purposes required to assist you or provide requested solutions.
  • Not share or further process your Personal Information with anyone unless required to assist you, by law, or with your consent.
  • Be open and transparent, and notify you as required by law, regarding why and how your Personal Information is collected and processed.
  • Safeguard and protect your Personal Information in our possession using appropriate security measures.
  • Freely confirm what Personal Information we have about you, update and correct such information upon request, and retain it no longer than legally required.

3. Purposes for Which Personal Information May Be Collected

We, or the companies that assist us in providing your solutions, may collect, use, and keep your Personal Information as required by relevant laws and regulations for reasons such as:
  • To share relevant products or services with you, complete transactions you request, and maintain our relationship;
  • To respond to queries or complaints;
  • To confirm and verify your identity, or to ensure you are an authorised user, for security purposes;
  • To conduct credit reference searches or verification (only if you authorise this or if required to provide your solutions);
  • For operational and administrative purposes related to your requested services;
  • For audit and record-keeping purposes;
  • To comply with requests from the Information Regulator, other government agencies, legal proceedings, or court orders.

4. Data Handling for CFW Fans Mobile Applications (Android & iOS)

Our mobile applications are designed with privacy in mind.
Unless otherwise stated for a specific app, CFW Fans apps do not collect, store, or share any personal data.
  • Our apps do not request or access personal identifiers, contacts, precise locations, photos, or microphones.
  • Any technical information that may be collected (such as device type, app version, or crash logs) is anonymous and used only to maintain app performance and reliability.
  • No analytics, advertising, or profiling tools are used in our apps unless specifically mentioned in the app’s description or user settings.
  • We do not sell, rent, or share any personal information because we do not collect such data.
  • If our apps use Google Play Services, Apple services, or other third-party frameworks (such as Firebase or TestFlight), they may automatically receive anonymous diagnostic data as part of standard app store functionality.

5. Use of Cookies (Websites)

Our websites, and those of our partners providing supporting solutions, may use cookies. Cookies help improve your browsing experience and tailor content for future visits. You can disable cookies in your browser if preferred. Please refer to our Cookie Policy available on our websites for more information.

6. Sharing and Processing of Information

We may share your Personal Information with trusted partners or service providers who assist us in delivering services, hosting platforms, or processing data for applications, claims, or business management.
This will only be done in strict adherence to the requirements of POPIA and with appropriate data-protection safeguards in place.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our mobile applications and online services are not directed at children under 13 years of age (or under the local legal age where applicable). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe your child has provided us with information, please contact us — we will promptly delete it.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Under POPIA, you have the right to:
  • Access, correct, or delete your Personal Information;
