Afterlife Mysteries is an independent paranormal investigation project based in South Africa. We respect your privacy and handle personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA). This policy explains, in plain language, what we collect and what we do with it.
Who is responsible
Afterlife Mysteries is responsible for the personal information described here. You can contact us about privacy at afterlifemysteries.sa@gmail.com.
What we collect
- Messages you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and whatever you write.
- Contribution details. When online contributions open, payments will be processed by a South African payment provider. We receive a notification of the payment (usually your name, email address, the amount and the date). We never receive or store your card or banking details.
- Your display name, only if you choose. If you ask to be credited, we show the name you give us on our progress page. Otherwise you appear as "Anonymous supporter".
- Delivery details for equipment gifts. If you buy equipment for us, we may exchange courier details with you. We use a collection point, not a home address.
What we don't do
- We do not sell, rent or trade personal information.
- We do not use advertising or tracking cookies on this website, and we do not run analytics that identify you.
- We do not add you to any mailing list unless you clearly ask to be added.
Videos and third-party services
Videos on this site come from YouTube. A video only loads from YouTube when you press play, and we use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode. Once you play a video, YouTube (Google) may collect information under its own privacy policy. Our website is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes basic technical information (such as IP addresses) to deliver the site and protect it from attacks.
How long we keep information
We keep emails only as long as needed to deal with your message. Records of contributions are kept for as long as South African law requires for financial records, and are then deleted.
Your rights
You may ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, ask us to stop showing your name, or object to how we use it. Email us at afterlifemysteries.sa@gmail.com. If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, you may complain to South Africa's Information Regulator (inforegulator.org.za).
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update it on this page and change the date above.
