Why the POPI Act matters

The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), No 4 of 2013 is important because it protects individuals like you (also referred to as data subjects) by not allowing any harm to come to you through the mishandling or misuse of your personal information. The Act commenced on 1 July 2020, and the deadline for organisations to comply is 1 July 2021.

Every person is affected by POPIA, as it strengthens every citizen’s right to privacy, afforded by the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. It sets out some conditions for responsible parties to lawfully process the personal information of individuals.
