At SAFI, we prioritise the security and privacy of our users, and our content retention policy is aligned with these principles. We retain user-generated content, such as membership applications, job postings, and business listings, for a specified duration necessary to fulfill the intended purpose for which the information was collected. This duration is determined by legal requirements, industry standards, and the need to provide ongoing services to our users. Beyond this period, we are committed to responsibly and securely disposing of the data to ensure it is not retained longer than necessary. Our approach reflects our dedication to maintaining transparency, protecting user information, and upholding the highest standards of data privacy and security within the SAFI community.

To maintain the highest standards of quality and relevance, all applications and submissions are subject to a diligent moderation process. Our dedicated team meticulously reviews each application to verify its authenticity, accuracy, and adherence to our community guidelines. This moderation process is in place to guarantee that the content disseminated through SAFI platforms is reliable, free from malicious intent, and aligns with our commitment to excellence. By implementing rigorous moderation, we aim to provide our users with a trustworthy, transparent, and secure environment where they can confidently engage, connect, and thrive within the South African furniture industry community.
