POPI Act Compliance FAQs
The POPI Act applies to any person or organisation in South Africa that processes personal information. This includes companies, government bodies, and non-profit organisations that collect, store, or use personal data as part of their operations.
Personal information under the POPI Act refers to any data that can be used to identify an individual. This includes names, contact details, identification numbers, financial information, and even opinions about a person. Essentially, any information that can be linked to a specific individual falls under the protection of the POPI Act.
When the POPI Act was implemented, companies had to adapt to new regulations governing personal information collection, processing, and storage. This included stricter requirements for obtaining consent, protecting data from breaches, and ensuring transparency in using personal information. Companies also became responsible for reporting data breaches to the Information Regulator and affected individuals.
