Privacy Policy
Effective October 2020
The Shoprite Group Data Privacy Statement
Protecting your privacy is as important to us as it is to you. For us, it’s more than just making sure we comply with the relevant legislation; you trust us with your personal information and we respect that trust. This Privacy Statement explains why and how we collect, use and store your personal information. The processing of personal data must be transparent and secure, in conformity with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI), the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the privacy legislation of the countries in which Shoprite Group operates. This Privacy Statement contains the information required by POPI and other relevant privacy legislation.
1. What Is This Notice About?
We want you to understand who you are sharing your information with, what kind of information we collect and how we use the information.
In your day-to-day dealings with the Shoprite Group of Companies we obtain information about you. We want you to know exactly what that information is and what we do with it. This Privacy Statement describes how we collect, use, process, and disclose your personal information, in conjunction with your access to and use of Shoprite Group’s web and app platforms.
The Protection of Personal Information Act protects you.
The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI) is aimed at protecting your personal information and prescribes what we must and must not do with it. POPI created an Information Regulator who checks that companies like Shoprite manage personal information in a responsible manner that respects your privacy.
Other legislation applies to your personal information.
Other legislation also applies to your personal information. For instance, if you are applying for a Shoprite Money Transfer account, the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) has to be complied with, or if you buy a SIM card, the Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-Related Information Act (RICA) has to be complied with. This means that from time to time we will be obligated to process your personal information in a certain way (or keep it for a certain period).
This privacy notice is part of our agreement with you.
This Privacy Statement forms part of our agreement with you. You should read it along with the terms and conditions that apply. These terms and conditions can be accessed on the specific Shoprite Group websites or products, and www.shopriteholdings.co.za.
This notice may change from time to time.
From time to time we may have to amend this notice to accommodate changes in our business or services or if legal requirements change. It is your responsibility to check that you have read the latest version.
