Why Privacy Matters

The right to privacy and protection of personal information is a basic human right, enshrined not only in privacy regulation, but in the constitution of most countries.

The POPI Act is designed to protect this basic human right, but understanding what this entails is essential when working within any organisation that processes the information of its employees, customers and business partners.

With staff who understand the importance of privacy, you are improving your ability to provide a better service and secure the trust and confidence of your customers, employees, and business partners.
