We will not use personal information for purposes that are materially incompatible with the purpose for which it was collected without an appropriate legal basis or your consent where required.

3. Legal Basis and Lawful Processing

Where applicable, we process personal information on an appropriate lawful basis, which may include:

  • Your consent
  • Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract
  • Performing our contractual obligations
  • Compliance with legal obligations
  • Our legitimate business interests, provided those interests do not unjustifiably interfere with your privacy rights

Repair by Nature processes personal information in accordance with applicable South African data protection legislation, including the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).

Where privacy laws in other jurisdictions apply to particular processing activities, we will take reasonable steps to meet the applicable requirements.

4. Sharing of Personal Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

We may share personal information with trusted service providers where reasonably necessary to operate our website or business. These may include website hosting providers, email providers, scheduling systems, cloud storage providers, analytics providers and other technology or professional service providers.

Service providers are given access only to information reasonably necessary to perform their functions and are expected to process that information appropriately.

We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, legal process or a lawful request from a competent authority.

5. International Transfers

Some of the technology and service providers used by Repair by Nature may process or store information outside South Africa.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards or other lawful transfer mechanisms are in place where required by applicable data protection law.

6. Information Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

However, no website, electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining business records, providing services and meeting legal, regulatory, accounting or contractual requirements.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may securely delete, destroy or anonymise it.

8. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, security, performance or analytics.

Where analytics or other non-essential tracking technologies are used, information may be collected about how visitors interact with the website.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate information and consent options will be provided before non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used.

You may also be able to control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
