The POPIA back story
On 1 July 2020 South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI Act or POPIA) officially came into effect.
The Act is designed to give people more control over their personal information and how it gets used.
All businesses must be fully compliant with the Act by 1 July 2021.
POPIA is going to impact the way Estate Agents do business in many ways. In anticipation of the changes we are creating and sharing information that may be useful to
Estate Agents in preparation for the new ways of working. We previously shared a Series titled, Getting to know POPI, and now as part of Series 2, we will be
sharing insights and information on What POPIA means for your business.
Please note: This has been created to help Estate Agents unpack POPIA and its practical implications, but does not claim to offer legal advice.
