The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI Act) is a South African law that aims to protect the personal information of individuals from being collected, used, or disclosed without their consent. It sets out the requirements for businesses to follow when collecting, using, or disclosing personal information, including:
- Notification of purpose: Businesses must inform individuals of the purpose for which their personal information is being collected, used, or disclosed.
- Consent: Businesses must obtain consent from individuals before collecting, using, or disclosing their personal information, unless there is a legitimate reason to do so without consent.
- Fair and lawful processing: Businesses must only collect, use, or disclose personal information for a legitimate purpose, and must not do so in a way that is unfair or unlawful.
- Data quality: Businesses must ensure that the personal information they collect is accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
- Data security: Businesses must take appropriate measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
- Data retention: Businesses must retain personal information for only as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
To be compliant with the POPI Act, businesses must follow these requirements and implement appropriate policies and procedures to ensure that they are being met.
