Privacy Policy
This policy explains how request details submitted through the public site are handled for coverage review and response. It covers contact details, story category notes, preferred package information and ordinary operational records created when a briefing enquiry proceeds. SA Fight Press collects only what is needed to reply clearly, confirm a practical filing window and complete agreed boxing news work in Gqeberha.
Use the contact route for privacy questions, correction requests, or request record questions.

Who we are
SA Fight Press brings you the latest boxing news, fight updates, results, and stories from South Africa and beyond. Stay informed on top fighters, upcoming bouts, major events, and everything happening inside the ring. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share personal information when you visit the website, send a coverage request, ask about pricing, or communicate with the news desk. Our location is Engen Millenium, Dyke Rd, Algoa Park, Gqeberha, 6001, South Africa. You can reach us at [email protected] or +27 41 452 2619, Monday to Sunday, 8:00 to 20:00 South African Standard Time. The policy applies to fight fans, media coordinators, and organisations contacting us about briefing availability in Gqeberha. For the purposes of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013, SA Fight Press is the responsible party that holds personal information collected through this site and ordinary booking conversations. If you book for a promoter, we may treat some details as business contact information while still handling names, emails, and phone numbers with care. Information is processed in South Africa in connection with our Eastern Cape desk. We will confirm identity before we change a record or discuss a past briefing.
Information we collect
We collect information you choose to provide through forms, email, or telephone. This commonly includes your full name, email address, phone number, company name if applicable, request type, story category, preferred package, preferred timing, and message details. For media enquiries we may also record requester roles, weekly volume, billing contacts, and file-status preferences. When a briefing proceeds, card notes, credential instructions, accessibility notes, and job references may be created to complete the service. Technical data such as basic browser information and a local cookie-notice preference may be processed to keep the site usable. Do not send payment card numbers, identity numbers, or unrelated medical details in the first public message. If a feature is a surprise, we only need the organiser contact and who should not receive confirmation. We may also receive details from a colleague you named at ringside or from a payment provider that confirms a transfer reference. We do not scrape social profiles to build a hidden dossier. Children's names should not be sent unless a junior card requires a guardian contact. Health information about a fighter should be limited to what is already public or what the organiser is authorised to share.
How we use information
Personal information is used to review coverage enquiries, confirm filing windows, prepare quotes, schedule arrivals, coordinate media accounts, process billing where agreed, handle complaints, and improve quality. We may send operational updates about an open request, such as clarification questions, readiness notes, reschedule notices, or completion confirmations. Marketing, if ever offered, would be optional and separate from notices about an active file. We do not sell personal information. Story category and preferred package help us match editor time and word count. Anonymised patterns such as popular windows may be reviewed for staffing. Host notes after a briefing protect the next job and answer billing questions. Legal bases under POPIA include processing needed to conclude or perform a contract, legitimate interests in running a news desk, consent where you ticked the contact box, and legal duties such as tax recordkeeping. A quote is always checked by a person. We do not place unsolicited marketing calls. Published fight updates, results, and stories are journalism about a public sport. Your private email and phone number are not part of that public record unless you asked to be listed as a media contact.
Storage, sharing, and your choices
Request records are stored only as needed to review the inquiry and keep operational history for completed or cancelled briefings. Access is limited to staff and contractors who need the information for editorial work, support, billing, or compliance. We take reasonable steps to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. We may share relevant details with assigned editors, media-account administrators, and providers who support email, hosting, or accounting under confidentiality expectations. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect safety, property, or legal rights. We do not disclose personal information for unrelated advertising. Records are kept as long as reasonably necessary for service, billing, disputes, and legal recordkeeping. You may ask us to correct inaccurate contact details or explain what we hold about a recent request, subject to identity verification and lawful exceptions. You may ask us to stop optional communications that are not required to finish an active file. If you believe a privacy matter was not handled fairly, raise it with us first. You may also contact the Information Regulator of South Africa. A booking name, date, and package type are usually enough to start a search. If a breach creates a real risk of harm, we will follow the notification duties that POPIA requires. Do not send full card numbers by email.
Children, updates, and privacy questions
Our services are directed to adults and organisations arranging coverage briefings. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for account creation. Where a hall includes younger spectators, we collect organiser details and only the limited notes needed for a safe briefing. Information from outside the Eastern Cape is still handled in connection with our Gqeberha operations and South African privacy expectations. We may update this Privacy Policy when processes or legal duties change. The published version on this page is current. Contact [email protected] or +27 41 452 2619 for privacy questions, correction requests, or concerns about request records. You may also write to Engen Millenium, Dyke Rd, Algoa Park, Gqeberha, 6001, South Africa. Include enough detail to locate the enquiry. We aim to respond during news desk hours. A published official result is journalism, not a private customer file. We will correct a genuine factual error. We will not hide a lawful public score merely because a requester dislikes it. That distinction protects both the newsroom and the reader.
