Privacy Policy

This is the privacy policy for this independent SAPS recruitment guide. Short version: we collect as little as possible, and we don't sell or share what we collect.

What we collect

When you browse the site, standard technical information is logged automatically — things like your IP address, browser type, and which pages you visit. This is normal for any website and is used to keep the site running and to understand which articles readers find useful.

If you leave a comment or join a discussion, the name you choose and the text of your comment are stored and displayed publicly. Don't post personal information like your ID number, phone number, or home address in comments — other visitors can see them.

Cookies

The site may use cookies for basic functions like remembering your preferences. Your browser lets you block or delete cookies; the site still works without them.

Third parties

We link to official SAPS websites (saps.gov.za and erecruitment.saps.gov.za). Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we have no control over what they collect once you leave this site.

Your rights

If you've left a comment and want it removed, let us know through the site discussions and we'll take it down. We keep data only as long as needed for the site to function.

Children's privacy

This site is written for adults applying for police trainee posts. It is not aimed at children, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you are under 18 and have posted a comment, ask a parent or guardian to contact us through the site discussions and we'll remove it.

Analytics

We may use basic, privacy-respecting analytics to see which pages get visited — for example, how many people read the requirements guide versus the scams guide. This helps us decide what to update. It doesn't identify you personally.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page. This policy was written in October 2026.
