POPIA Compliance Commitment
POPIASafe is designed as a POPIA compliance platform. This statement outlines our commitment to POPIA and data privacy for organisations whose activities are subject to POPIA, including in South Africa.
1. POPIA as a design principle
POPIASafe is built specifically for POPIA compliance. We use POPIA's conditions for lawful processing as a design reference for features such as POPIA consent forms, records of processing and audit logs, with strong support for South African regulatory expectations.
2. Roles and responsibilities
Our customers act as responsible parties under POPIA. POPIASafe generally acts as an operator when processing personal information on their behalf. We build features and controls that make it easier for responsible parties to meet their obligations.
3. Security and access controls
POPIASafe implements technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including authentication controls, access management and activity logging aligned with the spirit of POPIA's security safeguards.
4. Supporting data subject rights
POPIASafe is built to help responsible parties respond to data subject requests, such as access, correction and deletion, by providing structured consent and processing records.
5. POPIA audit readiness
Features such as POPIA audit reports, records of processing and detailed activity logs are designed to help organisations demonstrate compliance during internal reviews and regulator engagements.
- We design POPIASafe specifically for POPIA compliance and data privacy in all jurisdictions where POPIA applies, including South Africa.
- We provide features that help organisations maintain accurate records of processing and consent.
- We implement security and access controls appropriate to the data we process as an operator.
6. Contact and updates
