SYP can collect two different types of data, anonymised, or personalised data. In both instances, SYP takes every reasonable step to secure such data under the current POPI Act. We employ a range of security mechanisms, procedures and technologies to secure any data collect, or transmitted by SYP, secured at its most basic form through encryption of all communication.

Whilst browsing our fantastic website, and subsequently returning as a result of our fantastic service offering and affordable item, we collect anonymised data through online marketing platforms such as Google Analytics, Adwords and Hotjar. These platform anonymise and aggregate data which is shared back with us for marketing and optimisation purposes.

In  the event that you sell an item to us, or buy an item from us, we will be required to collect certain personally identifiable information from you as stipulated in the Second Hands Good Act. All companies that deal in second hand goods are required to do under law - especially the brick-and-mortar franchises you are aware of. When dealing with sensitive information, you will be contacted via one of our senior staff members who have been trained in securely handling sensitive information. Communication will always come through a formal email, and will never be submitted over the internet.

We handle all data (irrespective of whether it is sensitive or anonymised) with the utmost care and diligence, and will never share such information with ANY 3rd-party, or use such data for any other purpose other than the intended purposes.

Ultimately, our goal is to make the 2nd-hand goods market safe and secure for everyone. We want to ensure a seamless experience for our customers, driven by our need to provide data security to everyone, aligned to the POPI Act and the Second Hand Goods Act.

Generally, we collect information about you when you visit the SYP website, complete any contact or offer form, or complete a purchase.
