Interpreting responsibilities

Evaluating the duties imposed by the POPI Act on business owners, taking into account other existing legislation (e.g. NCA, ECTA, CPA and PAIA).

Does the POPI Act apply to your business?

The POPI Act (Protection of Personal Information Act, No 4 of 2013) commenced on 1 July 2020 with an initial 1-year grace period. As from 1 July 2021, the provisions and penalties of the POPI Act are fully effective and enforceable.

All businesses, regardless of their size, structure, or ownership, process personal information — whether it is data related to their employees, customers, or suppliers. As such, compliance with the POPI Act is a legal requirement which your business must adhere to in order to process personal information lawfully within South Africa.

The consequences of non-compliance are significant and include financial penalties, imprisonment, reputational damage, and operational disruptions.

FACE DATA PRIVACY REQUIREMENTS WITH CONFIDENCE

Does the POPI Act apply to your business?

The POPI Act is designed to give effect to the Constitutional right of privacy, with its main purpose to safeguard personal information from theft, misuse, and malicious actions.

Organisations that collect, store, use or otherwise process personal information (of individuals or legal entities) within South Africa must comply with the POPI Act to avoid monetary fines, penalties or civil claims for damages suffered by data subjects.

Why your organisation must be POPI compliant

Internal Policies
Internal policies and procedures required

For an organisation to be POPI Compliant, internal policies, procedures and guidelines must exist on how it collects, stores, uses, shares and processes personal information.

Cost of non-compliance

The Information Regulator is provided with certain powers and may enforce hefty fines and penalties on organisations found to be non-compliant.
