Privacy notice

A player review stores your display name, rating, comment, venue and submission date. The name, rating and comment are publicly displayed on the venue page. Do not put an email address, identity number, financial details or someone else's personal information in a public review.

The contact form stores your name, email address, message and submission date. Contact messages are not publicly readable. The email address lets us identify your request and respond where appropriate; submitting a message does not promise a response time.

Reviews let visitors read player experiences. Contact messages help handle questions, corrections, review concerns and privacy requests. These records are stored in the site's backend. We do not need sensitive identity or payment information for either form; please leave it out.

The hidden contact-form field is an anti-spam check, not part of the message we store. Technical processing needed to serve the website may also occur; this notice does not claim that no service-level logs exist.

The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) is South Africa's personal-information law. You can use the contact form to request access, correction or deletion of information you submitted. Identify the relevant venue review or contact message without sending unnecessary sensitive details.

We may need enough information to locate the record and confirm that the request concerns your data. We have not set a published fixed retention period; records are kept for the purposes described here and can be considered for deletion on request. Public reviews should not be used to share private correspondence.

If you pin events in the tournament schedule, the pinned events and whether you dismissed the pinning tip are stored only in your browser's local storage. They are not sent to PokerFinderSA. You can remove them with "Clear pins" in the schedule or by clearing this site's data in your browser.

If you turn on alerts, your browser's anonymous push subscription (a delivery address issued by your browser's push service, plus its encryption keys) and the IDs of your pinned events are stored on our server only so we can send those alerts. No name or email address is stored. Turning alerts off deletes them, and they are deleted automatically after 30 days of inactivity. This is handled in line with POPIA, as described above.
