Spam Policy AO Gas: Ao Gas (Pty) Ltd (“AoGas”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to conducting its electronic communications in a transparent, lawful and respectful manner.

Definitions Spam Policy AO Gas
- Spam: Unsolicited commercial electronic communications sent in bulk, without the recipient’s prior consent, often containing promotional or marketing content.
- Consent: A clear, affirmative action by you (e.g. checking an opt-in box) agreeing to receive specified electronic messages from AoGas.
- Opt-out: A mechanism by which you withdraw your consent and instruct us to stop sending you further messages.

Limited Use of Your Data
We use your contact information solely to send messages you have consented to receive. We will not share or sell your email address or phone number to any third party for their own marketing purposes.
How We Obtain Consent

Transaction Opt-In: During account creation or order checkout, you will have the option to opt in to receive marketing messages. Explicit Requests: You may request to receive specific communications (e.g. product updates) and will be added only after you affirmatively confirm.
Opt-Out & Contacting Us
If you ever wish to stop receiving our electronic communications:
- Click the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email.
- Reply with STOP to any SMS/MMS or WhatsApp message.
- Email us at info@aogas.co.za with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line.
