Privacy notice

Your privacy matters, especially on a health site. This notice explains, in plain terms, what we collect and your rights under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

For the site owner

Build note (TODO): have this notice reviewed for POPIA compliance and tailored to your actual analytics, hosting and form provider before launch.

What we collect

  • Analytics: aggregated, privacy-respecting usage data (pages viewed, approximate region, device type) via our own analytics — used to improve the site, not to identify you.
  • Contact form: if you message us, the name, email and message you provide, used only to reply.
  • The BMI calculator collects nothing — it runs entirely in your browser and sends no data to us.

Cookies

We keep cookies to a minimum. Analytics may set cookies or similar identifiers; you can block these in your browser. We don't use this site for advertising and don't sell your data.

Your rights under POPIA

You have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to its processing. To exercise these rights, email hello@weightlossmeds.co.za. You may also complain to the Information Regulator (South Africa).

Retention & security

We keep contact-form messages only as long as needed to deal with your query, and take reasonable measures to protect the limited data we hold. Third parties (analytics, hosting, form processing) have their own privacy terms.
