This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you visit isassastatus.co.za, read our guides, leave a comment or contact us. Muhammad Hanif is the responsible publisher of this independent information website and is responsible for the information it receives directly. For privacy questions, email dua1231c@gmail.com.
Protect your grant information: We do not operate the official SASSA status checker or a grant application service. Do not send us your ID number, banking details, bank PIN, password, OTP or application documents. Use the official service for personal checks and account changes.
Information you provide
If you email us, we receive your email address, message and any details or attachments you choose to include. We use this information to answer your question, review a reported error or handle a privacy request. Please limit your message to what is necessary.
Where comments are enabled, WordPress collects the details you enter in the comment form, such as your display name, email address, website address and comment. It may also record your IP address and browser information for spam prevention. Your display name and approved comment can be public; do not put private grant details in a comment. If an avatar is displayed through Gravatar, that service has its own privacy policy.
Information collected during a visit
Website hosting, security and technical systems may process information such as IP address, browser and device details, the pages requested, referring page, and the time of a visit. This helps deliver pages, diagnose errors and protect the website from abuse. These technical records are different from a SASSA application record; we cannot see your official grant result simply because you visit this website.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. WordPress, advertising and measurement services may use cookies or similar technologies for functions such as remembering preferences, measuring visits, delivering ads and preventing abuse. If you choose to save your details in a comment form, cookies may remember those details for a later comment. Administrator login cookies are used when authorised users sign in.
Google AdSense and advertising
The website loads Google advertising code. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to display ads informed by earlier visits to this website or other websites. Google advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to personalise ads across participating sites, subject to consent and account settings. An advertisement is not a SASSA message or an endorsement by this website.
You can manage or turn off Google ad personalisation through Google Ads Settings. You may also explore participating vendors’ advertising choices at AboutAds. These choices do not necessarily remove advertisements or stop all measurement and security processing. Google describes its processing in How Google uses information from sites that use its services and its Privacy Policy.
Analytics and measurement
The website uses Google measurement code to understand visits and interactions, including which guides readers use. Measurement can involve page information, browser or device information and online identifiers. You can learn about browser controls in Google’s explanation of partner-site data or use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Your cookie and advertising choices
- Use your browser settings to view, block or delete cookies. Blocking some cookies can affect website functions.
- Use Google Ads Settings and the participating vendor choices linked above for personalised advertising.
- Where a consent notice or privacy-choice control is presented, use it to accept, refuse or change the relevant choices. Browser and advertising settings are separate controls.
Reading this policy is not consent to optional tracking. Cookie and advertising choices depend on the service, your settings and the applicable consent requirements.
When information is shared
Hosting, email, security, advertising and analytics providers process information needed for their services. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or necessary to investigate abuse and protect the website. Providers may process information in countries other than yours and apply their own retention and privacy arrangements. This website does not send an email or comment to SASSA as a grant application or appeal.
Retention and security
We keep correspondence for as long as needed to handle the issue, maintain necessary records or meet applicable obligations. Published comments may remain until removed. Technical and third-party service records have retention periods governed by their settings and purposes; contact us if you need information about a specific record. We do not promise a single retention period for every type of data.
No website or email service can guarantee complete security. Do not send sensitive documents or access codes when asking about a guide. If you accidentally share sensitive information, contact us promptly and tell us where it appeared without repeating it.
Privacy requests and children
Depending on the law that applies, you may have rights to request access, correction or deletion of information held about you, or to object to certain uses. Email dua1231c@gmail.com with the subject “Privacy request”. Identify the relevant message or comment without sending an ID document. We may need proportionate information to verify a request before taking action.
Children should not post personal details in comments or send grant documents to this website. A parent or guardian who believes a child has shared personal information can contact us to request review and removal where appropriate.
Links to other websites
Official SASSA and DSD services, advertisements and other external links take you to independently operated websites. Their privacy policies apply after you leave this site. We cannot access or change information you submit on those services.
Changes and contact
We will update this page when the website’s practices change. The date at the top identifies the current version. Privacy enquiries should be sent to dua1231c@gmail.com. For application status, appeals or payments, contact the relevant official service instead.
