SecretFantasy (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.

It also describes your rights under South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

• Usage Data: Information on how you interact with the site — pages visited, likes, messages, and login timestamps.
• Technical Data: Device type, IP address, browser version, and cookies to enhance performance and security.
• Payment Data: If you subscribe to paid membership, limited payment details (transaction reference, amount, and method) are stored securely. We do not store card or banking passwords.

3. How We Use Your Information

We process your personal data for the following purposes:

• To create and manage your account and profile.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We rely on the following legal grounds under POPIA and other applicable laws:

• Your consent when registering or providing optional profile data.
• The need to perform a contract (membership and service delivery).
• Compliance with legal obligations (e.g., preventing unlawful content).
• Our legitimate interests in improving, securing, and promoting our services.

5. How We Store & Protect Your Data

• All data is stored securely in password-protected databases hosted in South Africa or secure international data centers.
• We use SSL encryption and secure server protocols to protect data in transit.
• Access to personal data is limited to authorized staff for legitimate operational needs.
• While we take all reasonable precautions, no online service is 100% secure. You acknowledge this risk when using our platform.

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We only share your personal information in limited circumstances:

• With trusted service providers (e.g., hosting, email, payment processors) who are bound by confidentiality agreements.
• When required by law, court order, or regulatory authorities.
• If we merge, sell, or restructure, your data may transfer under the same protection terms.
• We do not sell or rent your data to marketers or third parties.

7. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies to:

• Remember your login session.
• Analyze traffic and improve site functionality.
• Store preferences like theme, language, or privacy settings.

You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features may not work properly.

8. Your Rights

Under POPIA, you have the right to:

• Access your personal information held by us.
• Request correction or deletion of inaccurate data.
• Withdraw consent for optional data processing (e.g., marketing).
• Complain to the Information Regulator if you believe your privacy rights are violated.

We retain your data only as long as necessary for service operation, legal compliance, or resolving disputes. When you delete or deactivate your account, your content and personal data are either anonymized or permanently deleted after a short retention period.

10. International Data Transfers

If any data is stored or processed outside South Africa, we ensure equivalent legal protection and compliance with POPIA through data processing agreements and secure hosting providers.
