IMPORTANT NOTICE: By accessing, browsing, or purchasing any goods or services on this website, you, the User (or Data Subject), voluntarily, specifically, and informedly consent to the collection, processing, and storage of your Personal Information by Sotran Trading 57CC (the Responsible Party) in accordance with the conditions set out below and within our comprehensive Privacy Policy.
1. General Consent and Lawful Processing
Your continued use of this website serves as your explicit acknowledgment and agreement that Sotran Trading 57CC, as the Responsible Party, determines the purpose and means of processing your PI. We warrant that we will process your information lawfully and in a reasonable manner that does not infringe on your right to privacy. The processing is conducted for a specific, explicitly defined, and lawful purpose related to our business activities, which includes, but is not limited to, fulfilling your online orders, providing customer support, managing your user account, and improving site functionality through analytics. We commit to retaining your PI only for the duration necessary to fulfill these purposes, or as otherwise required by South African law.
2. Information Collected and Security
We apply the principle of Minimality, meaning we only collect the PI that is absolutely necessary for the performance of our functions, such as your contact details (name, email, phone number, delivery
address) for transaction purposes, and online identifiers (like IP addresses and cookies) for website performance and security. We commit to ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of the PI we hold. To this end, we have implemented reasonable technical and organisational security safeguards (including encryption and access control) to prevent loss, damage, unauthorised access, or unlawful processing of your data. You consent to the fact that for the purposes of delivery, payment processing, and website maintenance, your PI may be shared with our trusted third-party Operators (e.g., courier companies and payment gateways) under strict written confidentiality agreements that hold them to POPIA standards.
3. Your Data Subject Rights and Contact
As a Data Subject, you are entitled to several rights under POPIA. You have the right to request access to the PI we hold about you, and to request the correction or destruction of any PI that is inaccurate, excessive, or misleading. Furthermore, you retain the right to formally object to the processing of your PI for reasons related to direct marketing (and may withdraw any prior consent at any time).
