Data Privacy is one of the most important responsibilities that municipalities are facing as we move to a digital economy.
The Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) has far reaching implications for municipalities. They hold vast amounts of sensitive personal data which now has to be lawfully processed and stored in compliance with the security standards as set out by the Act. Consent and privacy policies must be in place, and data systems must be structured to capture, store and disseminate relevant information, with high security measures required to retain data privacy and protect it from unlawful use.
