Your privacy

Privacy policy

How we handle your personal information — and the control you keep over it. We follow South Africa's POPIA.

Draft. This is plain-language placeholder wording for the launch site. Final legal terms will be confirmed before any customer is billed.

What we collect

The details you give us: your name, WhatsApp number, email (optional) and the suburb we collect from. Plus a record of what you've stored and your pickup and delivery history.

WhatsApp and marketing consent

WhatsApp is our main way of talking to you about your storage — confirming pickups, deliveries and account matters. That's part of providing the service.

Marketing messages (tips, offers, referrals) are only ever sent if you opt in, and we record your choice. You can opt out at any time by telling us on WhatsApp, with no effect on your storage.

How we use your information

To run your storage: schedule pickups and deliveries, keep your inventory, bill you, and keep you updated. We don't sell your personal information to anyone.

Who we share it with

Only the partners needed to deliver the service: our logistics partner (to collect and deliver), our payment provider (to bill you securely), and the system we use to manage stored inventory. Each only receives what they need.

Your rights

Under POPIA you can ask to see the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, withdraw marketing consent, or ask us to delete your information once you no longer store with us.

To exercise any of these, message us on WhatsApp or email hello@jougarage.co.za.
