Legal Compliance & International Trade Framework
Outlines of the legal policies for Our Health Store International, specifically bridging South African regulatory requirements (POPIA, CPA, SAHPRA) with international trade standards.
1. Privacy Policy (POPIA & Cross-Border)
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
In accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), Our Health Store International is committed to protecting your data.
- Information Officer: Our client support acts as our point of contact for all privacy inquiries.
- Data We Collect: We collect your name, address, and payment details to fulfill orders. Because we provide health supplements like IMMUNEGENTZ and StemRx, we may process information related to your health interests.
- International Data Transfer: As we ship internationally and utilize global platforms such as WordPress and WooCommerce, your personal information may be transferred to and stored on servers located outside of South Africa. We ensure these “Operators” provide a level of protection equivalent to POPIA.
- Third-Party Disclosure: We share your delivery data with international and local couriers (e.g., DHL, The Courier Guy) to complete your order.
