Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 August 2026

Information we collect

Visitors can view 10 trending reels on homepage without an account. When you register we collect name, username, email, password hash, Pass Key hash, profile photo/bio. When you use affiliate program we store your referral code, referred users, paid count, earnings, withdrawal requests, IP and device to prevent self-referral fraud. When you pay we receive payment status and reference only, we never see or store card or bank details.

Like almost every website, our servers automatically log technical information: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed and timestamps. We use this to keep the service secure, prevent abuse and understand which content is popular.

Cookies and similar technologies

MzansiTalk uses cookies and browser local storage for essential purposes only: keeping you signed in, remembering your preferences and protecting against fraudulent sign-ins. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but you may then be unable to stay logged in. Where a third-party service is used (see below), that service may set its own cookies or identifiers according to its own policy.

Advertising and analytics partners

MzansiTalk does not currently display advertising on the site, and no ad script, banner, pop-under or video ad tag is served from our pages. If we introduce advertising in future, it may be delivered by third-party advertising networks and exchanges — for example TrafficStars or Google — and those partners may use cookies, device identifiers, approximate location and page-context data to select and measure the ads shown to you. Any such partner acts as an independent controller of the data it collects, and its own privacy policy governs that processing. We will update this page and disclose the partner before any ad code is placed on MzansiTalk.

Payment providers (for boosts, coins and sponsored placements) receive only the information needed to process a transaction. MzansiTalk never sees or stores your card or bank details.

Sharing and storage
