The Regulator continues to train public entities on #POPIA and #PAIA as part of its duty to educate and raise awareness on the requirements for the lawful processing of personal information. Today, we are training Information Officers at Madiba Banquet Hall in Potchefstroom.

Besides anything else, this is a prima facie contravention of #POPIA https://mybroadband.co.za/news/broadcasting/453366-major-sabc-tv-licence-security-flaw-profiles-can-be-changed-and-addresses-exposed.html

A quick note: 🗣️, in terms of the definition "personal information," SEXUAL ORIENTATION is considered to be personal information, and as such, it should be processed within the prescripts of #POPIA.

This week we are in Northern Cape Namakwa District to raise awareness about rights to privacy & access to information. #KnowYourRights #POPIA #PAIA

Hang on, G**gle bans call recording apps "in the interest of privacy" but keeps it on G**gle Phone? Plus, in #SouthAfrica, #RICA may permit it, but what about #POPIA? https://mybroadband.co.za/news/security/442002-google-banning-call-recording-apps-from-play-store.html

Inadequate protection of personal info is an offence under #POPIA.

‼️ Bigger than Experian. The hacker groups says it has 54 million personal records of South Africans including credit scores, banking details and ID numbers.

So weak were the IT systems that the password TransUnion used was the word “Password” 🤯 https://twitter.com/wendyknowler/status/1504729380643299369
