Beaded Affair ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA). Beaded Affair is operated as a small independent business in South Africa. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your rights.
Beaded Affair is the "responsible party" for your personal information. As a small business, the owner acts as our Information Officer. For any privacy questions or requests, contact us at beaded.affair2026@gmail.com.
We only collect what we need to run the store and fulfil your order:
We do not ask for or store your card details or banking login - payment is made by EFT directly from your bank to ours.
We never sell your information. We use a small number of trusted service providers ("operators") who process data on our behalf, strictly to provide their service:
Some of these providers may process or store information on servers outside South Africa. Where that happens, we rely on providers that offer an adequate level of protection comparable to POPIA. We may also share information where required by law.
We use only the essential cookies needed to keep you securely signed in and to operate the cart and checkout. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites for advertising.
We take reasonable measures to keep your information safe and work only with reputable providers. We keep order records for as long as needed to run the business and meet legal and accounting obligations, and we remove information we no longer need.
Under POPIA you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, email us at beaded.affair2026@gmail.com. You can also contact the Information Regulator at inforegulator.org.za.
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page, with the date it was last updated shown above.
