Collection of Personal Data and other user information

Our goal at Life Masters (Pty) Ltd. is to provide all customers with the highest quality products and services. In order to process your purchases, and to ensure that you receive quality products and customer services, we collect certain Personal Information directly from our customers. You can visit the Life Masters stores or our websites without identifying yourself or providing any Personal Information. At certain times, however, we ask you to provide information that will enable us to provide you with important product information, complete a transaction, enhance your site visit or to follow up later. Your participation is completely optional.

For example, we request information when you:

  • register as a member of our on-line community;
  • purchase a product or service;
  • register a product warranty;
  • complete a survey;
  • participate in a contest or other promotional offer;
  • subscribe to a newsletter or mailing list;
  • apply for employment with Life Masters (PTY) Ltd.

In these instances, we may ask for your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, information about a product you have purchased, billing information, or other information. We may also keep records of previous purchases made by you, information we have provided to you, and details of any enquiries, complaints or compliments made by you and our response, if any (your “Personal History”). Your Personal Information and Personal History will be added to our customer database.

Your computer provides this user-information automatically each time you log on, unless you’ve activated blocking technology available in some browsers. When you visit the Site we may use so called “cookies” which stores certain user-information on your computer and allow us to customize your experience to better match your interests and preferences, or to simply facilitate your signing in to use the services. Most browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.
