Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA)

POPIA was signed into law in 2013, but it became fully effective on July 1, 2021. POPIA is designed to regulate the processing of personal information in a way that respects individuals' privacy rights.

The key principles of POPIA include:

Accountability: Responsible parties (entities that process personal information) must comply with the conditions for the lawful processing of personal information.
Processing Limitation: Personal information must be processed lawfully and in a manner that is not excessive.
Purpose Specification: Personal information must be collected for a specific, explicitly defined, and lawful purpose related to a function or activity of the responsible party.
Further Processing Limitation: Personal information may only be processed in a manner compatible with the purpose for which it was collected.
Information Quality: Responsible parties must take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information they process is complete, accurate, and up-to-date.
Openness: Responsible parties must ensure that data subjects are aware of the processing of their personal information and certain other related matters.
Security Safeguards: Responsible parties must secure the integrity and confidentiality of personal information by taking appropriate, reasonable technical and organizational measures.
Data Subject Participation: Data subjects (the individuals to whom the personal information relates) have the right to access and, if necessary, correct their personal information.
Accountability: Responsible parties must designate an information officer, conduct internal awareness and training, and implement measures to ensure compliance with POPIA.

POPIA grants individuals greater control over their personal information and requires organizations to handle such information responsibly. Non-compliance with the provisions of POPIA can result in penalties, fines, and other legal consequences.

Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) Commercialising or Selling of Data

POPIA includes principles that regulate the processing of personal information, and selling or otherwise commercially exploiting individuals' data is subject to these principles. Some key points related to the sale of data include:

Lawful Processing: Personal information may only be processed lawfully, and this includes any sale or commercial use. The responsible party (the entity processing the data) must have a lawful basis for processing, and the data subject's consent is one such basis.
Purpose Specification: Personal information should be collected for a specific, explicitly defined, and lawful purpose. If data is sold, it should be in line with the purpose for which it was initially collected.
Further Processing Limitation: Personal information may only be processed in a manner compatible with the purpose for which it was collected. If data is sold, it should not be used in ways that go beyond the original purpose without the data subject's consent.

Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) Your rights as a consumer

Right to Access: Individuals have the right to request and obtain confirmation of whether their personal information is being processed, and if so, to access that information.
Right to Rectify: Individuals have the right to request the correction or deletion of inaccurate or outdated personal information.
Right to Object: Individuals can object to the processing of their personal information in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.
Consent: Individuals must give explicit consent for the processing of their personal information. Consent should be informed, specific, and freely given.
Data Portability: In some cases, individuals have the right to move their personal information from one organization to another.
Security Safeguards: Individuals have the right to expect that their personal information will be secured against unauthorized access or disclosure.

POPIA also establishes the role of an Information Officer within organizations to oversee compliance with the Act.

It's important to note that POPIA aims to balance the rights of individuals with the legitimate interests of responsible parties, recognizing that data is valuable for various purposes but must be handled responsibly and transparently. Organizations that process personal information are responsible for ensuring compliance with the principles and requirements outlined in POPIA.
