This policy explains how we handle your personal information under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA). It forms part of our Terms & Conditions. The responsible party is the operator of this club on the Holla Africa platform; contact us via in-app Live Support.
We never sell your personal information. Every processor working for us is bound by contract to protect it.
Your information is stored on our servers and may be processed by service providers (e.g. payment, verification or messaging providers) whose infrastructure is outside South Africa. Where that happens, POPIA's cross-border rules apply: we transfer only to providers subject to equivalent protection or bound by contract to POPIA-level safeguards.
When a retention period ends, records are deleted or anonymised.
Encrypted connections (HTTPS) throughout; passwords stored only as strong one-way hashes; identity documents on private storage with staff access logged; role-based staff permissions with audit trails; and payment-card processing fully delegated to the payment provider so card numbers never touch our servers. No system is perfectly secure — if a breach ever affects your data we will notify you and the Information Regulator as POPIA requires.
Exercise any of these via in-app Live Support. We verify identity before releasing data.
We use strictly necessary cookies/local storage only: your login session, security (CSRF) protection, and remembering in-app preferences. We do not run third-party advertising trackers on the platform.
The platform is strictly 18+. We do not knowingly process children's information; any account found to belong to a minor is closed and its data handled per clause 5's legal-retention rules.
Material changes to this policy are announced in the app and the version date above updates. Continued use after a change means acceptance.
