Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) Awareness
Privacy is the constitutional right of everyone in South Africa and is entrenched in the “Bill of Rights”.
The POPI Act gives effect to this constitutional right of privacy by requiring safeguards for personal information processed by public and private bodies. Non-compliance may have serious consequences. The course provides delegates with an overview of POPI and the significant obligations placed on those business leaders identified as the “responsible parties” and “information officers”.
