Privacy Policy
Rich Plus ("we," "our," or "us") operates SNAP Benefits Guide (the "App"), an independent informational application designed to help users understand the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the United States.
The App provides information about SNAP eligibility requirements, estimated benefits, application procedures, Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards, state-specific programs, and other related resources.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting information associated with your use of the App.
