Your documents. Uploaded once. Shared on your terms.

GoTecID is a consent-driven document sharing platform. Upload your documents once, share them many times through secure, tracked links, and stay in control — with a full record of who accessed what, and when. We don’t verify your documents; the organisation receiving them does that, exactly as it does today.

The problem

The safest document is the one that was never copied

Today a South African applying for ten rental properties emails ten copies of their ID, payslips and bank statements to ten strangers. Those documents scatter into inboxes, drives and backups — forever, with no record and no way back. GoTecID replaces that with one upload, controlled sharing, and a complete audit trail.

Create once. Share many times. Stay in control.

Three principles

One idea, applied to every document you own

01

Create once

Every document is uploaded once into a private vault and reused forever. Repeat onboarding is the friction GoTecID removes.

02

Share many times

Share with any organisation — whether or not it uses GoTecID — through a secure, trackable link. One upload, unlimited controlled shares, zero adoption needed by the recipient.

03

Stay in control

You decide who sees your documents, see every access in an audit trail, and can revoke access instantly. Control isn’t a feature — it is the product.

What we do — and don’t

We check the envelope, never the contents

GoTecID makes sure the envelope is safe. It never claims to judge whether what’s inside is true — that is the recipient’s job, using the systems they already use. This line is the whole product.

GoTecID’s job — the envelope

  • Scanning an upload for malware
  • Making sure a file is intact
  • Matching shared fields to the request
  • Requiring a consented relationship before anything flows

Not GoTecID’s job — the contents

  • Deciding whether a document is genuine
  • Confirming a person is who they claim
  • Any form of identity or KYC verification
  • Changing what the receiving organisation does
Two account types

One model for people, one for organisations

GOID

For individuals

Hold your own documents and share them, on your terms, with the organisations you choose — without emailing copies into inboxes you can’t control.

GORG

For organisations

Receive what you ask for through consented, tracked links instead of scattered email attachments — with an Operator Agreement and a clean record for your own compliance file.

The security philosophy

We don’t eliminate risk. We eliminate exposure.

No honest company can promise your documents are unbreachable, and we won’t. What we can promise is that when something goes wrong, the harm has been minimised by design.

One source, not twenty

Your documents live in one controlled vault instead of scattered across dozens of inboxes and drives.

Stained, not clean

Documents are viewed watermarked and view-only. A leaked copy is attributable and far less useful than an unprotected one.

Every access recorded

An immutable audit trail logs every view, and you can revoke access at any time.

Compliance by design

Accountability built in, not bolted on

GoTecID is built from first principles around South Africa’s data-protection framework, with an Information Officer already registered with the Information Regulator.

POPIA-aligned processing Information Officer registered PAIA manual published Operator Agreement per organisation Deletion reminders

Custodian of sealed envelopes

Documents are stored encrypted and processed only to apply the watermark when shared. The readable copy is discarded straight away, never written to disk or logged.

Named operator

Our infrastructure operator is identified in our Privacy Policy as a POPIA operator under a written mandate.

A way back

When a retention period ends, GoTecID reminds you and drafts the deletion request — you review and send it.
