At SRD Grant Guide, protecting user privacy and safeguarding information is a core priority. This page explains how we handle data, what security measures are in place, and what users should expect when visiting our website.

Our Approach to Data Privacy

SRD Grant Guide is an informational platform. We do not require users to create accounts, submit personal SASSA details, or provide sensitive identity information to access our content.

We are committed to:

• Respecting user privacy
• Minimising data collection
• Using secure technologies to protect website communications

Secure Website Communication

Our website uses HTTPS (SSL/TLS encryption) to secure data transmitted between your browser and our servers. This encryption helps prevent unauthorised access, interception, or tampering while you browse our website.

This means:

• Pages are delivered securely
• Forms and emails are transmitted over encrypted connections
• Data sent through the website is protected in transit

End-to-End Encryption Clarification

SRD Grant Guide does not provide login systems, messaging services, or stored user accounts. As a result, we do not implement end-to-end encrypted user-to-user communications.

Instead:

• We rely on industry-standard transport encryption (HTTPS/TLS)
• We avoid collecting sensitive personal data wherever possible
• Any communication you initiate with us via email is protected by your email provider’s security standards

Personal Information We May Collect

We only collect limited information when you voluntarily contact us, such as:

• Your email address
• The content of your enquiry

This information is used solely to:

• Respond to your request
• Provide support or clarification
• Improve our content and user experience

We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Cookies & Analytics

We may use cookies and basic analytics tools to:

• Understand how visitors use our website
• Improve performance and usability
• Identify technical issues

These tools do not grant us access to personal SASSA data or private user accounts. You can manage cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Third-Party Links & Official Platforms

Our website may link to official SASSA platforms or third-party websites. Once you leave SRD Grant Guide, their privacy and security practices apply. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any external site they visit.

Data Retention & Security

• Contact messages are retained only as long as necessary to respond
• We apply appropriate administrative and technical safeguards
• We regularly review site security practices to reduce risk

Your Responsibility as a User

For your own safety:

• Never share your SASSA ID number, OTPs, or banking details with unofficial websites
• Always use official SASSA platforms for applications and account changes
• Contact SASSA directly for grant-specific actions
