The Data Privacy Notice is a fundamental document required under South African data protection law, specifically the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Organizations must provide this notice when collecting personal information from data subjects to ensure transparency and compliance with legal requirements. The notice should be provided at or before the time of collecting personal information and must be easily accessible, written in clear language, and contain all mandatory information required by POPIA. This includes details about the types of information collected, purposes of processing, recipient categories, cross-border transfers, and data subject rights. The notice serves both as a compliance tool and as a trust-building mechanism with stakeholders.
