Our goal is to provide the best IPTV South Africa experience, and that begins with trust and transparency. This policy has been prepared in compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of South Africa, ensuring your rights are respected.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using our site and services, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the Site includes:

A. Personal Data

This is personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register for a subscription, request a trial, or contact our support team. The types of personal data we collect include:

• Contact Information: Your name and email address.

• Subscription Details: The type of IPTV South Africa subscription you purchase (e.g., duration, package type like VocoTV IPTV) and the associated activation details (such as M3U line or MAC address information linked to the vocotv net portal).

• Payment Information: When you make a purchase, your payment is processed by our third-party payment gateways (e.g., PayFast, PayPal). We do not store your full credit card number or financial details on our servers. We only receive a confirmation of payment, transaction ID, and the billing information you provide, such as your name and email.

• Communications: Records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses) if you contact us for support or inquiries.

B. Derivative and Usage Data

This is information our servers automatically collect when you access the Site and our services, such as:

• Log and Device Information: Your IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, and the pages you have viewed directly before and after accessing the Site.

• Service Usage Information: We may collect data related to your use of the IPTV South Africa service, such as connection logs (IP address, connection time) for security and service-provision purposes. This helps us prevent password sharing and ensure service stability.

3. How We Use Your Information

Having accurate information about you permits us to provide a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we use information collected about you to:

• Create and Manage Your Account: To set up your IPTV South Africa subscription and provide you with the necessary access credentials.

• Ensure Security and Prevent Fraud: To monitor accounts to prevent, detect, and investigate potentially prohibited or illegal activities, including fraud and unauthorized account sharing, and to enforce our terms.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (POPIA Compliance)

Under South Africa’s POPIA, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. We will normally collect personal information from you only:

• Where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you (e.g., to provide you with your IPTV South Africa subscription).

• Where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights (e.g., for fraud prevention).

• Where we have your consent to do so (e.g., for marketing communications).

5. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. However, we may share information we have collected about you in certain situations:

• By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.

• Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf, including payment processing (e.g., PayFast, Stripe), data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, and customer service. These providers only have access to the information necessary to perform their functions and are obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data.

• IPTV Service Infrastructure: Your subscription data (e.g., username/MAC address) is shared with the core VocoTV or other IPTV server infrastructure (vocotv net) solely for the purpose of activating and delivering the stream to your device. This data is not used for marketing.
