Privacy Policy

Last updated: 07/23/2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The Johannesburg Distilling Company (Pty) Ltd (“JoDiCo”, “we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you visit or place an order on 2strokeliquor.co.za (the “Website”), showcasing the 2 Stroke Vodka brand.

We process personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (“POPIA”). JoDiCo is the responsible party for personal information collected through this Website.

1. Who we are

JoDiCo is a licensed liquor manufacturer (micro-manufacturing licence number GLB7000014802, Gauteng Liquor Act 2 of 2003), with licensed premises at Shop 1, 102 Corlett Drive, Birnam, Johannesburg, 2196. JoDiCo is the merchant of record for all sales made through this Website and the party responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

2. Information we collect

We collect personal information you provide directly, as well as information generated automatically when you use the Website.

Information you provide to us:

• Name and surname
• Date of birth (for age verification, as required by law)
• Delivery address and contact number
• Email address
• Payment information (processed by our payment provider — see Section 5; we do not store your full card details)
• Any information you send us via email or contact forms, including complaints or return/refund requests

Information collected automatically:

• IP address, browser type, and device information
• Pages visited, time spent on the Website, and referring pages
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 8)

3. Why we collect it (and our lawful basis)

We process your personal information for the following purposes:

4. Age verification

Because we are legally prohibited from selling liquor to anyone under 18, we collect and verify age information both at the point of order and, where necessary, again at delivery. If you cannot provide valid proof of age, we (or our delivery partner) may refuse to process or deliver your order, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions of Sale.

5. Payment processing

Payments made on this Website are processed by a third-party payment service provider through our secure point-of-sale system. Your card details are submitted directly to and processed by that provider — we do not receive or store your full card number, expiry date, or CVV. We do receive confirmation of payment success or failure, and transaction records for accounting, refund, and dispute purposes.

6. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only where necessary to operate the Website and fulfil your order, with:

• Payment processors, to process your payment securely
• Delivery/courier partners, to deliver your order and verify recipient age
• IT service providers, who host the Website and support our systems
• Regulators or authorities, where required by law (e.g. liquor licensing authorities, tax authorities, or law enforcement)
• Professional advisors (e.g. auditors, legal counsel), where reasonably necessary

Any third party we share information with is required to protect it in accordance with POPIA and only use it for the purpose we’ve shared it for.

7. Cross-border transfers

If any service provider we use stores or processes data outside South Africa, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information receives a comparable level of protection, in accordance with POPIA’s requirements for cross-border transfers.

8. Cookies

The Website uses cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep the Website functioning correctly (e.g. shopping cart, checkout)
• Remember your preferences
• Understand how visitors use the Website, so we can improve it
• Support marketing and analytics, where you have consented

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website, including your ability to complete a purchase.

9. How long we keep your information

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including:

• Order and transaction records, for as long as required under tax, liquor licensing, and consumer protection laws
• Age verification records, for as long as required to demonstrate compliance with liquor licensing law
• Marketing information, until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent

Once information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.

10. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against loss, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. While we take security seriously, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Your rights under POPIA

You have the right to:

• Request confirmation of whether we hold personal information about you
• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or outdated information
• Request deletion of personal information we no longer have a lawful basis to hold
• Object to the processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes, at any time and free of charge
• Withdraw consent, where processing is based on consent (this doesn’t affect processing already carried out)
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa if you believe we have processed your information unlawfully

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 14.

12. Marketing communications

If you have opted in to receive marketing communications from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any marketing email or by contacting us directly. This will not affect transactional communications relating to orders you’ve placed.

13. Children’s information

This Website and our products are not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18, except where necessary to verify that a prospective purchaser or recipient does not meet the legal age requirement.
