Privacy Policy

Miss Swimwear South Africa (Pty) Ltd ("the Platform", "we", "us"), registration number 2026/741692/07, of 3 Stellenberg Place, Strathaven, Sandton, Johannesburg, operates this website and the associated contestant application, contestant directory and voting systems.

We collect information you provide directly, including account details, application answers, photographs, consent records and enquiry messages. When you vote, we collect limited technical information (such as a device fingerprint and a hashed IP address) used only to enforce voting limits and detect abuse.

Information is used to operate the competition: reviewing applications, publishing approved public contestant profiles, running voting periods, responding to enquiries, and communicating with contestants about their application status. We do not sell personal information.

Only information you consent to publish as part of an approved public contestant profile is shown publicly. Application answers, contact details, identity information and unapproved photographs are never shown on public pages.

Subject to the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and other applicable South African law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. Contact details for exercising these rights will be confirmed here before launch.

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including access controls, encrypted storage of passwords, and private-by-default handling of photographs and application data. Retention periods for each category of data are subject to confirmation.

Questions about this policy can be sent through the Contact page. A dedicated privacy contact will be published here once confirmed.
