Effective date: August 9, 2026
LicenceTrackSA does not collect, sell, or transmit your license records to anyone. Everything you enter about your firearm licenses — serial numbers, license type, calibre, manufacturer, model, dates — is stored locally on your device only.
LicenceTrackSA can check the status of a firearm license application or renewal directly on the South African Police Service (SAPS)'s own public "Firearms: Online Enquiry" website. When you use this feature, the reference number and serial number you enter are sent directly to SAPS's official government site to perform the lookup — this is the same public enquiry tool available on SAPS's own website, not a third-party commercial service. The results (status, dates, next steps) are saved locally on your device so you can review your check history offline.
All your license records and SAPS enquiry history are stored in the app's private storage on your device. We do not operate a server or database that receives a copy of this information, and it is not synced to any cloud service by the app itself.
You can export your SAPS check history as a CSV or PDF file. This file is generated entirely on your device and shared through your device's own share sheet — to email, cloud storage, or wherever you choose. We never receive a copy of this file.
LicenceTrackSA can remind you when a license is nearing its expiry date, or when a SAPS status changes since your last check. These reminders are scheduled and shown entirely on your device — no push notification service or external server is involved.
The app requests internet access solely to reach SAPS's website for status enquiries described above. It is not used for advertising, analytics, or any other purpose.
LicenceTrackSA is a tool for licensed firearm owners in South Africa and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date.
