You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe option in the email (where used) or by contacting us at info@shelvingsa.co.za.

If we are not running marketing campaigns at a given time, we may still retain your email address for future communications unless you request deletion.

If you provide communication preferences (for example, requesting email vs phone contact), we may process those preferences to respond in the way you requested.

Analytics information (when enabled)

When analytics and advertising tools are enabled (and where required, where you consent via our cookie banner), we may collect usage and device information to help us measure performance and improve the website experience.

This may include:

  • Online identifiers such as IP address (or a truncated/processed version), cookie identifiers, device identifiers
  • Browser and device information

We use this information to operate, secure, and improve the website and to understand website performance.

How do we use your information?

We may use your information for purposes such as:

  • Responding to your enquiries and requests for quotes
  • Communicating with you about your request (including follow-ups)
  • Improving website performance and user experience (analytics)
  • Measuring marketing campaign performance and delivering relevant advertising (where enabled and where consent is obtained, where required)
  • Maintaining internal records for business continuity, legal and accounting obligations

Where we need personal information for any other purpose, it will be clear from the circumstances at the time we collect it.

How do we protect your information?

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information we process, including:

  • Using HTTPS/TLS (SSL) to encrypt data in transit between your browser and our website
  • Access controls and security practices intended to prevent unauthorised access
  • Practical internal measures to reduce misuse or unauthorised disclosure

We do not process payments or collect credit card details through this website.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; however, we take reasonable steps to reduce risk.

Sharing of personal information (third-party disclosure)

Enquiry data submitted via our website contact forms is intended for Shelving SA's internal use to respond to requests and manage the quoting process.

We do not sell your personal information.

However, when analytics/advertising tools are enabled (such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or Metricool), certain website usage data may be processed by those providers in accordance with their own privacy policies and platform settings. You can manage these technologies through our cookie consent banner and browser settings.

We may also disclose personal information where required to comply with law, enforce our policies, or protect our rights, property, or safety (or those of others).

Third-party links

Occasionally, we may include links to third-party websites. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Accessing third-party sites is at your own risk.

Cookies and tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to help operate our website and (where enabled and where you consent, where required) to support analytics and advertising.

You can manage cookie preferences via our cookie consent banner. You can also control cookies via your browser settings.

POPIA (South Africa)

Shelving SA is committed to protecting personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013 ("POPIA").

Responsible party: Shelving SA (PTY) Ltd

Purposes of processing: responding to enquiries and quote requests, operating and securing our website, and (where enabled) website analytics and marketing measurement

Lawful basis: we process personal information to take steps at your request (e.g., to respond to enquiries), for our legitimate business interests in operating and improving the website, and where applicable, based on consent (e.g., marketing/newsletter sign-ups and certain cookies)

Cross-border processing

While we aim to keep business enquiry handling within South Africa, some third-party analytics/advertising tools (such as Google and Meta) may process website usage data on servers located outside South Africa. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with POPIA and applicable requirements.

Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Enquiries and communications: retained for as long as necessary for quoting, project execution, and legal/accounting obligations.

Archive: if your enquiry has not been applicable or active within the last 12 months, it may be stored in an archive for reference if you contact us again in the future.

Deletion: you may request deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting info@shelvingsa.co.za, subject to any legal requirements to retain certain records.

Analytics and advertising data retention is governed by the applicable platform settings and our configuration choices at the time those tools are enabled.

Your rights (access, correction, deletion, objection)

Subject to applicable law, you may request:

  • Access to the personal information we hold about you
  • Correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Deletion of your personal information (where appropriate)
  • Objection to processing in certain circumstances
  • Withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise your rights, contact info@shelvingsa.co.za. Please include sufficient information for us to verify your identity and describe your request. We aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

If you believe your rights have been infringed, you may lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa).

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track ('DNT') setting. There is no uniform industry standard for responding to DNT signals, so our website may not respond to them consistently. You can control cookies through our cookie banner and your browser settings.

Children / minors

This website is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from persons under the age of 18.
