We aim to disclose only the information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
International Processing
Some third-party services used by Wild Reverence may operate, host information or process information outside South Africa.
As a result, personal information may in some circumstances be transferred to or processed in another country.
Where personal information is transferred outside South Africa, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer is handled in accordance with applicable requirements, including the requirements of POPIA relating to cross-border transfers where applicable.
How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
The appropriate retention period may depend on the type of information and why it was collected.
For example:
- newsletter information may be retained while you remain subscribed;
- enquiries may be retained for a reasonable period where necessary for follow-up or record keeping;
- order and transaction information may be retained where necessary for customer service, accounting, tax, fraud prevention and legal compliance; and

Information may be securely deleted, anonymised or otherwise handled appropriately once it is no longer reasonably required, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
These measures may include appropriate website security controls, access restrictions, software updates and the use of reputable service providers.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
If we become aware of a security compromise involving personal information, we will take reasonable steps in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
