Privacy Policy

SA Indian Routes ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit saindianroutes.co.za (the "Site").

We do not require registration or collect personal information. You can search and browse the entire database without creating an account or providing any personal details.

We may automatically collect limited technical data including:

• Analytics data — Anonymous usage statistics such as pages visited, search queries, and general geographic region, collected via Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to help us improve the site
• Standard server logs — IP addresses, browser type, and referring pages, retained temporarily for security and performance monitoring

The "Saved Records" feature stores your bookmarked passenger records in your browser's local storage. This data stays entirely on your device — it is never transmitted to our servers. Clearing your browser data will remove these saved records.

We use cookies only for analytics purposes. These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time without affecting your ability to use the Site.

The passenger records displayed on this Site are historical public records from the period 1860–1911, originally preserved by the Gandhi-Luthuli Documentation Centre at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. These records are part of the public historical archive and are made available for genealogical and historical research purposes.

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics — For anonymous site usage analytics
• Vercel — For website hosting and performance analytics

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they process data.

The Site is a public research tool and does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
