4 The Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013

The Protection of Personal Information Act (Popia) gives effect to the constitutional right to privacy by safeguarding personal information when a responsible party processes the information, subject to justifiable limitations that are aimed at:
• balancing the right to privacy against other rights, particularly the right of access to information; and
• protecting important interests, including the free flow of information within South Africa and across international borders.

Popia regulates the way personal information may be processed, and its conditions are consistent with international standards and prescribe the minimum threshold requirements for the lawful processing of personal information. Popia also gives people rights and remedies to protect their personal information from processing that is not in line with Popia; and it establishes voluntary and compulsory measures, including the establishment of an information regulator, to ensure respect for and to promote, enforce and fulfil the rights that Popia protects.

If you can give adequate proof of identity, Popa give you the right to:
• ask a responsible party to confirm (free of charge) whether they have personal information about you; and
• ask a responsible party for a record or a description of the personal information that they have about you, including information about the identity of all third parties or categories of third parties who have or have had access to your information.


A responsible party may or must refuse to disclose any information requested in terms of the subsections of the Act to which the grounds for refusal apply (Chapter 4 of Part 3 of Act).
