- Duration 1 Day

Privacy is the constitutional right of everyone in South Africa and is entrenched in the “Bill Of Rights”. The Protection of Personal Information Act gives effect to this constitutional right of privacy by requiring safeguards for personal information processed by public and private bodies. Entities (both in the form of private and public bodies) will have to ensure compliance with the act by 1 July 2021. Non-compliance may have serious consequences. The Act makes provision for fines of up to R10 million and a jail sentence of up to 10 years, depending on the seriousness of the breach.
The act promotes the protection of personal information processed by public and private bodies and seeks to balance the right to privacy against other rights, such as access to information.
Participants will learn through discussion and practical examples how to address the organisational, procedural, technical, and legal requirements for the Protection of Person Information.
This includes topics about:
- Overview of the legislation for the Protection of Personal Information

- Articulate the requirements of the Protection of Personal Information Act
