Privacy policy

This policy explains how Silver Stag Media (Pty) Ltd ("we") handles personal information on Sweat & Silver, in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and, for visitors in Europe and the UK, the GDPR.

What we collect

We do not require accounts and do not ask for your name. We store one setting in your browser to remember that you confirmed you are 18 or over. If analytics are enabled, we use a cookieless, privacy focused service that collects anonymous, aggregated statistics only.

Age verification

To view explicit previews, you verify your age with Yoti, an independent age assurance provider. Yoti processes the check (for example a facial age estimate, digital ID or document scan) under its own privacy policy and tells us only whether you passed. We never receive your image, name, date of birth or documents. We then store one strictly necessary, signed cookie on your device confirming you are over 18, for 30 days. It contains no personal information.

Affiliate partners

When you click a link to a partner site, that site and its affiliate program may set their own cookies to track the referral. Their privacy policies apply once you leave our site.

Your rights

You may ask what information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing hello@sweatandsilver.com. You may also complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa.

Information officer

Our information officer can be reached at hello@sweatandsilver.com.
