Privacy Policy
(Because apparently we can’t just say “we don’t do weird shit with your data” and go home.)
At OC Brewery, we respect your privacy.
We keep your information safe, secure, and out of the hands of bored marketers and suspicious princes promising you millions. This document explains exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and what we absolutely refuse to do with it.
If you’re here for fine print, congratulations — you’ve found it.
1. What Information We Collect
We collect the bare minimum required to get beer from us to you. This includes:
- Name & Contact Details (so we know who to deliver to)
- Delivery Address (we’re good, but we can’t guess)
- Order Details (what you bought and when)
- Payment Information (processed securely — we never see full card details)
- Website Usage Data (basic analytics, nothing creepy)
We do not collect:
- Your ID number
- Sensitive personal information
- Your browser history
- The identity of the person who stole your last craft beer (although we fully support revenge)
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Process your order
- Deliver your beer
- Confirm your payment
- Contact you about your purchase
- Improve our website and customer experience
- Stop the checkout page from exploding (technical term)
We also use your data (and anonymous website behaviour) for remarketing and advertising. This means you may see our ads on Google, Meta, or other platforms after visiting the site.
No, we’re not spying on you. No, we don’t know your secrets.
It’s just standard cookie-powered marketing so we can remind you your fridge is empty and your weekend plans require beer.
We do not sell your data. Ever.
3. How We Store & Protect Your Data
We store your information using secure systems, encrypted connections, and POPIA-aligned practices.
We don’t keep unnecessary data.
We don’t print your details on sticky notes.
We don’t hand your number to the weird guy who asked.
Your data stays with us — and only us — unless the law demands otherwise.
4. Sharing Your Information (Only When Necessary)
We share your data only with trusted partners who help us run the business, such as:
- Payment gateways
- Couriers
- Hosting providers
- Analytics tools
They receive only what they need to do their jobs.
They cannot use it for anything else.
We’re a brewery, not a data brokerage.
5. Cookies & Tracking
Yes, we use cookies. They help our website function and let us run remarketing campaigns.
If you don’t like cookies, you can disable them.
Just don’t blame us if the site starts acting confused — it has feelings too.
6. Your Rights (POPIA Stuff)
Under the Protection of Personal Information Act, you have the right to:
- Ask what information we hold
- Correct or update your info
- Request deletion (within legal limits)
- Complain if you think we’re mishandling your data
To do any of the above, contact us at: orders@ocbrewery.co.za
We’ll answer like humans, not corporate androids.
7. Marketing & Remarketing (Ads Will Follow You. Not In A Weird Way.)
We may use your info to send:
- New product drops
- Limited releases
- Specials
- Event news
- Reminders that your fridge is suspiciously empty
We also use remarketing tools to show you ads based on your interactions with our website.
This is normal.
This is legal.
This is how the internet works.
If you never want to see another ad, you can adjust your cookie or ad settings — assuming you actually know how. Most people don’t. We believe in you though. Kinda.
8. Policy Updates
If we update this policy, we’ll post the revised version here.
No sneaky edits.
No hidden clauses.
Just transparency — the stable, grown-up kind.
9. Contact Us
Questions? Concerns? Existential crises?
Email: orders@ocbrewery.co.za
We’ll help you out without sounding like a call centre script.
