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.
