## **Privacy Policy for Segat**
**Effective Date**: 1st April 2025
**Segat** (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application, **Segat** (the “App”). By using the App, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
—
### **1. Information We Do Not Collect**
Segat is designed to help you calculate your taxes—such as PAYE (Pay As You Earn), UIF (Unemployment Insurance Fund), SDL (Skills Development Levy), and net salary—based on data you input, like your monthly income, age category, and medical aid details. However, we **do not collect, store, or process any personal information** from you. All calculations are performed locally on your device, and no data is sent to our servers or shared with third parties.
Specifically, we do not collect:
– Personal identifiers (e.g., your name, email address, or phone number)
– Financial information (e.g., your income or tax details)
– Device or usage data (e.g., IP address, device ID, or app usage statistics)

### **2. How We Use Your Inputted Data**
When you use Segat, you may enter details such as:
– Your monthly income
– Your age category (Under 65, 65 to 75, or Over 75)
– The number of medical aid members (if applicable)
This information is used **only** to perform tax calculations directly on your device. Here’s how it works:
– The data is processed locally and temporarily while you use the App.
– It is not saved on your device after your session ends or transmitted anywhere else.
– All inputted data is cleared when you close the App or reset the input fields.
In short, your data stays with you and is never collected by us.

### **3. Links to External Websites**
Segat includes links to external resources for your convenience:
– **SARS Website**: Tapping the Segat logo or the “Visit SARS Website” link takes you to the official South African Revenue Service (SARS) website (www.sars.gov.za) for additional tax information.
– **Privacy Policy**: You can access this Privacy Policy within the App or at https://patax.co.za/privacy-policy/.
These external websites operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their content or how they handle your data. We recommend reviewing their policies before using those sites.

### **4. Data Security**
Since Segat does not collect or store any personal data, there’s no risk of data breaches or unauthorized access through the App itself. To keep your information safe, we suggest:
– Securing your device with a strong password.
– Avoiding entering sensitive financial details in public or unsecured settings.

### **5. Children’s Privacy**
Segat is not intended for use by individuals under 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect or solicit information from children. If you are under 18, please do not use the App.
—
### **6. Changes to This Privacy Policy**
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we do, we’ll update the policy within the App and revise the “Effective Date” at the top. Please check back periodically to stay informed.
