AYUDA protects applicant records used in financial assistance workflows. The controls listed below are based on features currently implemented in the system.
These controls are based on current application behavior and code-level implementation.
User and admin passwords are hashed with PBKDF2 via Werkzeug instead of being stored in plain text.
Protected routes require authenticated sessions, and role checks restrict admin-only operations.
The system logs key actions such as logins, profile updates, uploads, verification decisions, and status updates.
Uploads use sanitized filenames and extension checks, while forms include validation such as required fields and password rules.
AYUDA uses personal data to support fair and timely financial assistance processing.
Personal data is collected to assess eligibility, process applications, track status, and generate financial assistance reports.
The platform focuses on profile, eligibility, and application information required for decision support.
Applicants receive status updates, while administrators can review logs and decision history.
Sensitive operations are restricted through authentication and role checks for community and admin users.
Server-level controls such as HTTPS and infrastructure hardening depend on the deployment environment managed by the implementing office.
For privacy concerns, data correction requests, or account issues, coordinate with your local MSWD office or system administrator.
