What is POPIA?

The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) is South Africa's data protection law. It regulates how organisations collect, store, use, and share personal information, including customer details, employee records, and marketing databases.

Non-compliance can result in fines, reputational damage, and enforcement action by the Information Regulator. Every business needs a practical way to understand where they stand.
