About Paia

 

Paia assists persons to obtain information from public and private bodies. We readily provide information about our business, and you can obtain information from us. But, in the unlikely event of you having to do so , you can use Paia to obtain information from us.

 

About Popia

 

Popia enhances the protection of personal information by public and private bodies. We respect your right to privacy, and support the goals of Popia. Although Popia is not entirely operational yet, we are doing what we reasonably can to comply with it. When Popia comes into operation, various particulars regarding Popia will be included in this manual, for example for what purpose personal information is used by us.

 

The information Regulator of South Africa has compiled a guide that contains information you may need if you wish to exercise any right that is created in Paia. The guide is available in several of South Africa's official languages on the website of the Information Regulator of South Africa at www.inforegulator.org.za
