Feb 06, 2022
We are committed to complying with all laws and codes that apply to Lefoka. For example, we take our responsibility to comply with data protection laws seriously. We are also committed to helping you to comply with your regulatory obligations.
Lefoka POPIA Compliance
The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) is South Africa’s data protection law. The purpose of the Act is to protect people from harm by protecting their personal information.
The Protection of Personal Information Act involves three parties:
- the data subject, the person to whom the information relates.
- the responsible party, the person who determines why and how to process.
- the operator, a person who processes personal information on behalf of the responsible party.
Is Lefoka POPIA compliant (certified)
At Lefoka, we care deeply about the security of your personal information provided to us to manage your Lefoka account.
It is not possible to be certified as the Information Regulator has not yet set up a system allowing organisations the ability to obtain a POPIA certification.
Although POPIA was signed into law on 26 November 2013 and commenced on 1 July 2020, it is not yet effective as there is a one year grace period that expires on 1 July 2021.
