This Privacy Policy explains how SASSA STATUS CHECK may handle information when you visit this independent publication. It should be read together with our Cookie Policy and Terms and Conditions.
Information you choose to provide
If you use a contact form or another interactive feature, the website may receive the information you submit, such as your name, message and contact details. Do not submit South African ID numbers, banking credentials, passwords, card PINs, bank PINs, OTPs or other information that is not necessary for the enquiry.
Technical and usage information
Like many websites, the site may process technical information needed to operate securely and understand general usage, such as browser type, device information, referring pages, approximate location derived from network information, and pages visited. The exact data available depends on the hosting, security, analytics and advertising tools configured on the website.
Cookies and advertising
Cookies or similar technologies may be used for essential website functions, preferences, measurement, security and, where enabled, advertising. See our Cookie Policy for more information. Where consent is legally required, the site should use an appropriate consent mechanism before non-essential cookies are activated.
Third-party services and links
Our articles may link to SASSA, other government services, banks, social networks and other third-party websites. Those services operate under their own privacy practices. Following an external link does not make that service part of this publication.
Retention and security
Information should be retained only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, legal obligations, security or dispute resolution. Reasonable safeguards should be used, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Your choices
You may contact the site operator about privacy questions or requests that apply under relevant law. Before making a request, read our Contact Us page so you know what information not to send.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the website, its service providers or applicable requirements change. The latest version published on this page applies from its stated update date.
