This page explains what information LustyTech collects when you visit the site, leave a comment, or send us a message through a form. It also covers how we use that data, how long we keep it, and the choices you have over your own information. We have tried to keep the language plain, because privacy policies should not require a law degree to understand.

We collect only the information that is necessary for the site to function and for us to respond to your requests. The categories are:
We do not collect payment details, because we do not process transactions on this site. We also do not ask for sensitive personal data such as health information or government identifiers.
The information we collect is used for a limited set of purposes:
We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and we do not use it for advertising profiling.
Like most websites, LustyTech uses cookies and similar technologies. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to work, such as those that keep your session secure. Others help us understand how visitors use the site through privacy-respecting analytics.
We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies. If we later add a feature that requires a new type of cookie, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent before enabling it.
When you send us a message through the contact form, we receive your name, email address, and the text of your message. We use this information only to reply to you. We do not add your details to a marketing list unless you explicitly ask us to.
Messages are stored in our email system and are typically deleted after 12 months, unless there is an ongoing conversation or a legitimate reason to keep them longer, such as a warranty claim or a dispute.
We use a small number of service providers to run this site. These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually obliged to protect it:
These providers may store data on servers outside South Africa. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards to ensure your information remains protected.
We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected. Form submissions are kept for up to 12 months. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users after 26 months. If you ask us to delete your data earlier, we will do so unless we are legally required to keep it.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
If you are in South Africa, the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) applies. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the GDPR applies. If you are in California, the CCPA applies. We will honour these rights regardless of your location.
LustyTech does not publish misleading claims, fake urgency, or fabricated endorsements. Reviews are based on real testing of products in South African homes. Where a product was provided by a manufacturer for review, we disclose that in the article. We do not claim official affiliation with any brand unless one exists, and we do not guarantee specific results from any product we discuss.
