Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 October 2026

This policy explains how Courtside Sports Equipment (Pty) Ltd ("Courtside", "we") collects, uses and protects your personal information when you use this website, create an account, place an order or contact us, in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).

Information we collect

  • Contact details: your name, email address and phone number.
  • Order information: billing and delivery addresses, the products you order and your order history, collected through Shopify checkout.
  • Account information: if you create an account, your email address, profile details, profile photo if you add one, saved preferences and wishlist.
  • Enquiries: details you send through our partner and trade enquiry forms or by email or phone.
  • Product finder requests: the description you type into our product finder, used to suggest products.

Payments

Payments are processed by Payfast through Shopify checkout. Courtside does not store your card details.

How we use your information

  • to process, deliver and support your orders
  • to create and manage your account
  • to respond to enquiries and provide customer support
  • to send marketing only where you have agreed to receive it, with the option to opt out at any time
  • to keep the website secure and meet legal requirements

Who we share it with

We share personal information only as needed to run our store:

  • Shopify, which provides our product catalogue, cart and checkout.
  • Payfast, which processes payments.
  • Lovable, which hosts this website and stores account and enquiry information, and processes product finder requests.
  • Couriers, who receive your name, delivery address and contact details to deliver your order.

We do not sell your personal information. We may also disclose information where the law requires it.

Cookies and browser storage

This website uses essential browser storage to remember your cart, wishlist, recently viewed products and, if you sign in, your session. Shopify checkout and Payfast may use their own cookies when you check out, under their own policies.

Optional referral tracking by our affiliate partner UpPromote loads only after you allow it, usually when you arrive through a Courtside ambassador link. It is used to credit the selected ambassador for your visit and any resulting purchase. With your permission, UpPromote sets referral cookies in your browser, some lasting up to 30 days and others up to 365 days, and processes the stored referral identifier and your Shopify cart reference for attribution. We share only that cart reference. A Shopify cart reference can be used to view and change that cart, so we send it only after you allow tracking, and we never share the separate private code this website uses to protect changes to your cart. UpPromote handles this information under its privacy policy.

You can decline, or change your choice at any time, using Referral tracking choices in the website footer. Declining does not prevent you from shopping. Your choice is stored in this browser, so how tracking behaves also depends on your browser settings.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access.

How long we keep it

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law.

Your rights

Under POPIA you may ask to access, correct or delete your personal information, and you may object to its processing. To make a request, email hello@courtside.co.za. If you have an account, you can also update or delete it from your account settings.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa.
