Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains in simple terms what information we collect, why we collect it, how we keep it safe, and the choices you have when using SpacePlug under South African law.

1. Welcome to SpacePlug & POPIA Commitment

SpacePlug connects people looking for flexible workspaces, storage, photography studios, workshops, and commercial spots with verified property hosts across South Africa. We comply fully with South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), Act No. 4 of 2013, ensuring your personal information is processed lawfully, transparently, and securely.

2. What Information We Collect

We only collect the details needed to create your account, help you book or host spaces, and provide safe escrow payouts: • Account Information: Your full name, email address, phone number, and password. • Profile & Verification: Identification documents (such as SA ID or passport) and proof of space address for verified hosts. • Booking & Reservation Details: Dates, times, space requirements, guest headcounts, and communication between guests and hosts. • Payment Information: Handled via accredited PCI-DSS payment gateways. We never store raw card pins or CVV codes.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data strictly to: • Confirm reservations and issue automated digital booking vouchers. • Process payments securely and hold funds in escrow until check-in. • Verify identity and uphold safety and anti-fraud community standards. • Provide dedicated customer support via WhatsApp and email.

4. Information Sharing & Security

We never sell your personal information to third parties. We share limited contact details between guests and hosts only once a booking is confirmed to facilitate check-in and access. All data is encrypted in transit using modern TLS and stored in secure cloud facilities.
