POPIA applies to all South African businesses and individuals who process personal information, and it sets out strict rules for how personal information should be collected, used, stored, and shared. Under POPIA, individuals have the right to know what personal information is being collected about them, and they have the right to request that their personal information be deleted, corrected, or updated.
Organisations must take steps to ensure that they are collecting, using, storing, and sharing personal information in a way that is consistent with the law. This may involve appointing a dedicated POPIA compliance officer, conducting a risk assessment to identify potential vulnerabilities, implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure personal information, and providing staff training on the requirements of POPIA.
