Meyer Online and The African Diamond Trading and Exploration Company (Pty) Ltd (“ADTEC”) respect the privacy of users of our websites and services.

We do not sell or share personal information with other organisations or individuals for marketing purposes. Information provided to us is treated as confidential and is used for the purpose for which it was provided and for the administration and operation of the relevant service.

ADTEC WhatsApp Pricing and Valuation Service

Information submitted through the ADTEC WhatsApp pricing and valuation service is used to provide the requested pricing or valuation information and to administer the related service.

This may include information required to identify and communicate with the user, information submitted as part of a pricing or valuation request, and information required for the administration of the user's service account, credits or payments.

The WhatsApp service is an information and valuation service only. Information submitted through the service is not used by ADTEC to arrange the purchase or sale of diamonds or to broker diamond transactions between users.

Where subscribers or users elect to share their own details with other persons, they do so at their own discretion and risk.
