‘The PoPI Act’ forms part of the Signify Pollen Compliance Series. The PoPI Act series is designed to help you to familiarize yourself with the legislation that guides the PoPI (Protection of Personal Information) Act. William Gibson said, ‘It's impossible to move, to live, to operate at any level without leaving traces, bits, seemingly meaningless fragments of personal information.’ Our privacy is important to us, especially in the digital age, and in South Africa, the protection of Personal Information is a legal right. This series will help you understand how the PoPI Act protects that right. It will also assist companies to get an overview of how they should comply with the legislative guidelines of this Act.
