The POPI Act is South Africa's comprehensive data protection legislation, safeguarding personal information and ensuring it's processed in a responsible manner.

Who needs to comply?

Any individual or entity, private or public, that collects, processes, stores, or shares personal information in South Africa.

Why comply?

To protect individuals' rights to privacy, avoid hefty fines for non-compliance, and to foster trust with clients and partners by demonstrating responsible data handling practices.

CPA (Consumer Protection Act)

Pre-Investigation and Investigation Assistance

While the CPA provides rights to consumers, it also provides remedies when these rights have been violated. The CPA therefore provides for quick and effective resolutions for complaints. Non-compliance with the CPA could lead to severe consequences for non-compliance, such as fines and/or imprisonment. The CPA provides for imprisonment of 12 months for certain contraventions of the Consumer Protection Act and up to 10 years imprisonment for disclosure of private information. The CPA further provides for administrative fines of up to R1 million.
