Last Updated: 1 December 2025

At Nifty, we are committed to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, make a purchase, or interact with our services. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Age Restriction Notice

Because Nifty sells products intended for adults, you must be 18 years or older to purchase from our website.

By placing an order, you confirm that you:

• Are 18 years or older, and
• Are legally permitted to purchase smoking-related products in South Africa.

We reserve the right to request age verification if necessary.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Our website uses cookies to:

• Enable basic site functions
• Keep your shopping cart active
• Improve website performance
• Analyse usage through analytics tools

You may manage or disable cookies in your browser settings, although this may affect site functionality

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Sharing Your Information

We only share your data when necessary to complete your order or improve our services. This includes:

• Payment processors (e.g. PayFast, PayPal, Yoco)
• Courier and logistics partners (e.g. The Courier Guy, DHL Express)
• Website service providers (e.g. hosting, security, analytics)
• Marketing platforms (only if you explicitly consent)

We do not sell your data to third parties.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Your Rights

Under South African POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act), you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct or update your information
• Request deletion where applicable
• Withdraw consent for marketing
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator

To exercise any of these rights, contact us directly at info@shopnifty.co.za.
