July 2021
The team in the SARIMA office are working hard to get the necessary measures in place to comply with the South African Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) which comes into play on 1 July. We are extremely grateful to IP law firm Spoor & Fisher for kindly guiding SARIMA through its compliance requirements pro bono.
Attorneys Dina Biagio and Yogani Reddy have been evaluating the personal information data sets, collected for membership and training that have been mapped by Armand Barnard, SARIMA’s Digital Communications Officer. Members will encounter the various “consent requests” that Armand will be building into the member registration / training processes as we build compliance going forward.
