Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

When you create an account, place an order, or contact us, we collect the information you provide: your name, email address, phone number, and shipping and billing addresses. When you browse the store, our servers record standard technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages visited, and our site uses cookies to remember your cart and language preferences.

2. How we use your information

• To process, fulfil and deliver your orders.
• To provide order confirmations, delivery updates and customer support.
• To verify your identity and secure your account.
• To improve the website, catalog and shopping experience.
• To send marketing emails — only with your consent, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

3. Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies (cart, session and language preference), functional cookies and optional analytics cookies. Full details are in our Cookie Policy. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings at any time.

4. Data sharing

We never sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the store — payment processors, freight and courier partners, and hosting providers — under contracts that protect your data. We may disclose information where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

5. Payments

Payments are processed securely by PayFast, our payment gateway provider. Auto Manage Spare does not collect, see or store your card or bank details — these are entered directly on PayFast's own secure payment page. See PayFast's privacy policy for how they handle your payment information.

6. Data retention

We retain account and order information for as long as your account is active and for a further 7 years to satisfy tax and accounting obligations. Contact messages are retained for 24 months.

7. Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing sales@automanagespare.co.za. You may also object to processing and withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. We respond to all requests within 30 days.

8. Data security

All traffic is encrypted in transit (TLS), passwords are stored as salted hashes, and access to personal data is restricted to staff who need it.

9. International transfers

Your data is processed on secure infrastructure. Where data is transferred outside your country, we rely on appropriate safeguards in line with applicable law.

10. Changes & contact

We may update this policy from time to time; material changes will be announced on this page. Questions? Email sales@automanagespare.co.za.
