Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
Bladefit respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights under the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA).
01Information We Collect
When you use our website or services, we may collect:
Your name, email address, and phone number; your fitness goals submitted via our contact form; order and payment details (processed securely by Yoco — we never see or store your card data); and basic technical data such as your IP address and device type via our hosting logs.
02How We Use Your Information
We use your information only to:
Respond to your enquiries; deliver coaching services and fulfil orders; process payments; communicate with you about your program; and improve our website and services. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information for third-party marketing.
03Data Retention
Contact form submissions are kept for up to 12 months. Active client records are retained for up to 5 years in line with South African tax law. Inactive records are deleted on request or when no longer required.
04Your Rights Under POPIA
You have the right to:
Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you; request that it be corrected or deleted; withdraw your consent at any time; and lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
05Cookies
This website uses cookies for essential functions such as session management (your cart), payment authorisation via Yoco, and anonymised analytics that contain no personal data. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.
06Third-Party Services
We use Yoco for payment processing and Vercel for website hosting. Each provider processes data under its own privacy policy. We share only what is necessary for these services to function.
07Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
08Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page, with the date of the last update shown above.
09Contact the Regulator
If you believe your data has been mishandled, you may contact the Information Regulator of South Africa at inforegulator.org.za.
