Privacy Policy

Who we are

RealBeautie Collections is an online beauty and homeware store based in Gaborone, Botswana, trading at realbeautiecollections.co.bw. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you use our site, why we collect it, and what we do with it.

Information you give us

  • Order details — your name, email address, phone number and delivery address, so we can process your order, arrange delivery and contact you about it.
  • Account details — if you create an account, your name, email address and a password you choose. Your password is stored encrypted and is never visible to us.
  • Messages — anything you send us through the contact form, by email or on WhatsApp, so we can answer you and keep a record of the conversation.
  • Newsletter sign-ups — your email address, if you choose to subscribe.

Payment information

We do not see or store your card details. Card payments are handled entirely by DPO Pay, our payment provider, on their own secure systems. When you pay by card you are passed to DPO Pay to enter your details and returned to us afterwards with only a confirmation of whether the payment succeeded.

If you pay by direct bank transfer, we see only the payment reference and the name on the transfer as it appears on our bank statement. If you pay cash on delivery, no payment details are collected on this site at all.

Information we collect automatically

Like most websites, ours records basic technical information when you visit: your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view and the site you arrived from. We use this to keep the site secure and working properly, and to understand which products and pages people are interested in.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use them to remember what is in your shopping bag, keep you signed in while you browse, remember your wishlist and comparison selections, and remember a discount code you have applied. If you block cookies in your browser, the shopping bag and checkout will not work correctly.

Who we share information with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the businesses that help us run the store, and only with what they need:

  • Our delivery partners — your name, delivery address and phone number, so they can deliver your parcel and call you if they cannot find you.
  • DPO Pay — the payment details you enter with them, and the order amount and reference.
  • Our web hosting and email providers — who store the site and send your order emails on our behalf.

We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or where it is necessary to establish or defend a legal claim.

How long we keep it

We keep order records for as long as we need them to handle returns, warranty questions and our tax and accounting obligations. Account details are kept until you ask us to close your account. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. Contact form messages are kept while the query is open and for a reasonable period afterwards.

Your choices

You can ask us to show you the personal information we hold about you, correct anything that is wrong, or delete information we no longer need to keep. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link at the bottom of any newsletter, and doing so will not affect emails about orders you have placed. If you have an account you can update your details and addresses yourself under My Account.

Keeping your information safe

Our site runs over an encrypted HTTPS connection, access to order records is limited to the people who need it, and card details never reach our systems. No website can promise perfect security, but we take reasonable steps to protect what you give us.

Children

This store is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us their details, contact us and we will remove them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The version published on this page is the one that applies, and the date below shows when it was last changed.
