Trust & Security
This page is maintained by Giggles to answer common security and privacy questions about shopping on gigglesunderwear.co.za. It describes controls currently enabled in our store. It is not an independent certification or audit.
Accounts & authentication
- Sign in with email + password or with Google.
- Passwords are never stored in plain text; account sessions are signed and stored in your browser.
- Password reset is handled through a verified email link.
- Admin functionality is gated by server-side role checks, not by anything the browser claims.
Data we collect
- Account: name, email, optional phone number.
- Orders: shipping address, items, totals, and order status.
- Payments: handled by PayFast — we do not see or store your card details.
- Site analytics: aggregated usage to help us improve the store.
How your data is used
Your information is used to fulfil orders, send order and dispatch notifications, provide customer support, and operate the store. We do not sell personal data.
Subprocessors & integrations
- Hosting & backend: Lovable Cloud (managed Supabase) — database, authentication, file storage.
- Payments: PayFast (South Africa).
- Shipping: PUDO and our configured courier partners.
- Email: Resend (transactional order emails).
- SMS: SMSPortal (order & dispatch SMS).
Each provider receives only the data needed to perform its service.
Storage & access control
- Customer data is protected by row-level security policies — users can only read and write their own records.
- Admin-only resources (orders, products, shipping labels) are restricted to staff accounts.
- Shipping label files live in a private bucket and are only accessible to admins.
