This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors, Users, and Providers who access or use the Site.

2) What the Site does (advertising only)

luvr.co.za is an advertising directory only.

Providers may pay fees to the Company solely for advertising and profile placement on the Site.

5) ID verification and secure storage

Providers may be required to submit government-issued identification to verify age and identity.

Verification documents are used only for compliance, fraud prevention, and platform safety.

ID documents are stored securely, access is restricted, and they are never displayed publicly.

Verification reduces risk but does not guarantee identity, intentions, legality, or safety of any person.

6) Retention of information

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for:

• Operating the Services

We may use cookies and similar technologies for:

• Authentication and session management

• Security and fraud prevention

• Analytics and performance monitoring

• Remembering user preferences

You can control cookies through browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect functionality.

8) Public listings and phone numbers

Providers may choose to publish phone numbers or contact details in their listings.

If published, such information becomes publicly visible and may be copied or misused by third parties.

We are not responsible for third-party misuse of publicly displayed information.

9) Disclosure of information

We may disclose information only where necessary, including:

• To service providers assisting with hosting, verification, or security

• Where required by law, court order, or lawful authority request

• To investigate suspected exploitation, trafficking, fraud, or minors

We do not sell personal information.

10) Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information.

However, no system is 100% secure, and you use the Site at your own risk.
