Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 9 October 2026
At SASSA Grant Check Status, accessible from sassagrantcheckstatus.co.za, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your data. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Who We Are
SASSA Grant Check Status is an independent, privately run information website based in South Africa. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) or any government department.
Our purpose is to provide general information and guidance to help visitors understand SASSA grants, application processes, and payment schedules.
Information We Collect
We collect information in a few different ways when you visit our site.
We never collect ID numbers, phone numbers or banking details. This website has no forms that ask for them. If you need to check or update a SASSA grant, enter your details only on the official SASSA site, srd.sassa.gov.za, and please do not include them in emails to us.
Information You Provide Voluntarily
If you contact us by email at info@sassagrantcheckstatus.co.za, we may collect your name, email address, and any details you choose to include in your message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry.
Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, pages viewed, and the time and date of your visit. This information is collected through server log files and our analytics tool, WP Statistics.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your browsing experience and understand how visitors use our site. We do not use advertising cookies. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect how certain parts of our site function.
How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used to:
Analytics And Advertising
We use WP Statistics, an analytics plugin that runs on our own website hosting, to count visits and see which pages readers find useful. This data is used only to improve our content and is not sold or shared with advertising networks.
We do not run advertisements on this website and we do not use advertising or tracking cookies from ad networks. If we ever add advertising, we will update this Privacy Policy before it goes live.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website, such as hosting providers and analytics services, but only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services.
We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
How Long We Keep Information
We keep emails you send us only for as long as we need them to answer your enquiry and deal with any follow-up, and then delete them. Visit statistics and server logs are kept only as long as needed to run and improve the website, and you can ask us to delete any personal information we hold about you.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights Under South African Law
In line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), you have the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of your personal information held by us.
You also have the right to object to certain uses of your data. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please email us at info@sassagrantcheckstatus.co.za or use the details on our Contact page.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your personal information, you can lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa), the body that enforces POPIA, through its website inforeg.org.za.
Links To Other Websites
Our website may contain links to external websites, including the official SASSA website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not intended for children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes To This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page along with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
