Privacy policy

What we collect when you shop with us, why, how long we keep it, and what you can ask of us.

Who we are

The responsible party.

Truth Through Nature (Pty) Ltd sells ParaVera™ skincare through this website and is responsible for handling your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection law, including POPIA. For privacy questions or requests, email sales@truthnature.co.za.

What we collect

Only what we need to run our store.

  • Order details: Your name, email address, mobile number and delivery address, so we can process and deliver your order.
  • Purchase records: What you ordered and paid for, for order management, customer support, accounting and legal requirements.
  • Messages: Information you provide through our contact and stockist forms.
  • Incomplete checkouts: Information about an unfinished checkout, where collected, to help us understand and improve the shopping experience.
  • Cookies and analytics: Information collected through cookies and similar technologies, depending on your cookie preferences and the tools used on our website (see the cookie policy).

Payments are processed through Payfast. Where checkout redirects you to Payfast's secure payment page, your card details are entered there rather than directly on our website. Please refer to Payfast's own privacy information for details of its processing.

Who we share it with

  • Payfast: To process payments.
  • Our courier partners: To deliver your parcel, including the information needed to complete delivery.
  • Our email provider: To send order confirmations, tracking information and customer-service emails.
  • Our web developer and website service providers: To maintain, secure and support the website, where access to personal information is necessary.

We do not sell your personal information.

  • Information associated with an incomplete checkout is deleted or de-identified after 90 days.
