Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to exclude, restrict or limit any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or limited.

By using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand how your personal information may be processed as described below.

We encourage you to review the applicable privacy policies before providing personal information to third parties.


11. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Some of our service providers, including Shopify and other technology providers, may process or store personal information outside South Africa.

Where personal information is transferred outside South Africa, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer is handled in accordance with the applicable requirements of POPIA.

Where required, this may include using service providers or jurisdictions that provide appropriate protection or implementing appropriate contractual, organisational or other safeguards.

  • loss;
  • damage;
  • unauthorised destruction;

Where appropriate and legally required, we will investigate and take reasonable steps regarding that information.


17. SECURITY COMPROMISES AND DATA BREACHES

If FITCLIP™ becomes aware of a security compromise involving personal information, we will investigate the incident and take reasonable steps to contain and address it.

Where POPIA requires notification to the Information Regulator and/or affected data subjects, FITCLIP™ will provide the required notification as soon as reasonably possible in accordance with applicable law.
