This, in turn, helps us make our Video Play website relevant to your interests and needs. We may use a persistent cookie (a cookie that stays linked to your browser) to record your details so we can recognise you if you visit our website again. See the next section for more details.

You can choose to refuse cookies, or set your browser to let you know each time a website tries to set a cookie.

Sharing your personal information

Whenever possible, we will aggregate or anonymise your information when sharing it with third parties so that you are not identifiable in any way. We may also share your information with our Content service providers in order to assist them to analyse and evaluate the services they provide with us, or for any other purposes identified and set out in Vodacom Privacy Policy and for the purpose of investigations being carried out by our Content Service providers into breaches of their rights under this agreement and for the purposes of use in enforcement actions being taken by our Content service providers as a consequence of such investigations.

We may share information about you with:


• companies in the Vodacom and Vodafone Group (Vodafone Group Plc and any company or other organisation in which Vodacom owns more than 15% of the share capital);
• developers, companies, partners and/or agents involved in delivering the Services;
• where applicable, credit reference, fraud prevention or business scoring agencies, or other credit scoring agencies;
• debt collection agencies or other debt recovery organisations;

We will release information if it is reasonable for the purpose of protecting us against fraud, defending our rights or property, or to protect the interests of our customers.

If we are re-organised or sold to another organisation, we may transfer any personal information we hold about you to that organisation.

We may need to transfer your information to other group companies or service providers in countries outside South Africa.

• troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research and service improvement and/or to identify any technical issues that may occur from time to time,
• for use in devising additional enhancements or improvements to the Service,
• statistical, tracking, redundancy and audit purposes; and
• Contacting you with offers or promotions for similar, related services (you will be afforded the opportunity to opt out of those messages specifically should they be sent to you).

The personal information processed in connection with Vodacom Video Play will be for so long as we have to by law.

We have specialised security teams who constantly review and improve our measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure or destruction.

If we have a contract with another organisation to provide us with services or a service on our behalf to process your personal information, we will make sure they have appropriate security measures and only process your information in the way we’ve authorised them to. These organisations will not be entitled to use your personal information for their own purposes. On a regular basis, our security teams will check them to make sure they meet the security requirements we have set.

Communications over the internet (such as emails) are not secure unless they have been encrypted. Your communications may go through a number of countries before being delivered – as this is the nature of the internet. We cannot accept responsibility for any unauthorised access or loss of personal information that is beyond our control.

At Vodacom, we are committed to processing personal information honestly, ethically, with integrity, and always consistent with applicable laws and our values. Below we set out details on how you can exercise your rights. Please note, under certain circumstances these rights may be limited if we still have lawful grounds to process your personal information.
