Last updated: October 19, 2026

Introduction & Civic Commitment

A1PHA developed the R370 Status Check Guide - Unofficial application as a free civic informational guide. This SERVICE is provided by A1PHA at no cost and is intended for use as is. This page informs users regarding our strict privacy policies regarding the collection, use, and non-retention of Personal Information.

By using our Service, you acknowledge and agree to the terms described in this policy.

Zero Personal Data Storage Guarantee (POPIA Compliance)

We respect your privacy and adhere strictly to the principles of South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA):

No ID or Phone Storage: We do NOT collect, store, record, transmit, or sell your 13-digit South African ID number, mobile telephone number, or banking details.
Local Client-Side Processing: Any input entered into the status check form is validated solely on your local device to verify digit length and formatting sanity. It is never transmitted to our servers or stored in any database.
Direct Official Transmission: When you initiate a status query, the request opens the official South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) web portal directly inside a secure in-app viewer. Your interaction occurs solely with the official government service.

Non-Affiliation Notice

R370 Status Check Guide - Unofficial is an independent public utility. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, endorsed by, or in any way connected to the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), the Department of Social Development (DSD), or the South African Government. Official services can be reached at https://srd.sassa.gov.za/.

Third-Party Services

The app relies on trusted third-party services that may collect information used to identify your device for core application delivery and crash analytics:

Google Play Services

Log Data

In the event of an application crash or unexpected error, diagnostic log data may be processed through standard Google Play Services. This Log Data may include your device model, operating system version, app version, time of crash, and technical stack traces. This diagnostic data contains no personal identity records or grant inquiry details.

In-App Browser & External Government Links

This Service contains secure links to official government websites, including srd.sassa.gov.za and srd.dsd.gov.za. We do not control or operate these external government endpoints. When navigating official portals, please consult the respective privacy policies of those government agencies.

Children's Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 18 (the minimum eligibility age for the SRD R370 grant). We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children or minors.

Security

We prioritize your privacy by designing the application with zero server-side persistence. All network communication to official government portals enforces strict HTTPS encryption, disabling unencrypted cleartext traffic.
