PRIVACY PORTAL

PURPOSE AND OVERVIEW

As a business, Africorp Solutions is committed to the highest standards of professionalism, ethics and service delivery. We are committed to upholding every person’s constitutional right to privacy and ensuring that any personal information we process is completed in a lawful and transparent manner. We maintain a strict standard of confidentiality with our clients and never share personal information with third parties unless required by law or with the express consent of our clients.

Any personal information processed by Africorp Solutions is processed in accordance with the provisions of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (“POPI”), and, where applicable, the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”).

POPI

Africorp Solutions has taken comprehensive steps to ensure that its staff process any personal information in accordance with the provisions of POPI. Personal information is defined in section 1 of POPI to mean: “information relating to an identifiable, living, natural person, and where it is applicable, an identifiable, existing juristic person, including, but not limited to— (a) information relating to the race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, national, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental health, well-being, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth of the person; (b) information relating to the education or the medical, financial, criminal or employment history of the person; (c) any identifying number, symbol, e-mail address, physical address, telephone number, location information, online identifier or other particular assignment to the person; (d) the biometric information of the person; (e) the personal opinions, views or preferences of the person; (f) correspondence sent by the person that is implicitly or explicitly of a private or confidential nature or further correspondence that would reveal the contents of the original correspondence; (g) the views or opinions of another individual about the person; and (h) the name of the person if it appears with other personal information relating to the person or if the disclosure of the name itself would reveal information about the person.”

Depending on who determines the purpose of and means for processing personal information in a particular instance, Africorp Solutions acknowledges that it may be acting in the capacity of either a “responsible person” or “operator” as defined in section 1 of POPI. Where a client is also the “data subject” as defined in section 1 of POPI and has not mandated Africorp Solutions to process personal information on the client’s behalf, it is a determining factor which puts Africorp Solutions in the role of a responsible party. Where Africorp Solutions processes personal information for a responsible party in terms of a contract or mandate, without coming under the direct authority of that party, Africorp Solutions will be acting as an operator. Whether acting as a responsible party or operator, Africorp Solutions will process personal information in accordance with the applicable provisions of POPI.

General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679

Africorp Solutions acknowledges that it offers its goods and/or services to persons domiciled in the European Union, and which compels that data processing activities for such persons are completed in accordance with GDPR. Depending on who determines the purpose of and conditions for processing personal information in a particular instance, Africorp Solutions acknowledges it may be acting in the capacity of either a “controller” or “processor” as defined. Where a client is also the “data subject” as defined in GDPR and has not mandated Africorp Solutions to process personal information on the client’s behalf, it is a determining factor which puts Africorp Solutions in the role of a controller. Where Africorp Solutions processes personal information for a controller in terms of a contract or mandate, Africorp Solutions will be acting as a processor. Whether acting as a controller or processor, Africorp Solutions will process data in respect of persons in the European Union in accordance with the applicable provisions of GDPR.

PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION OBLIGATIONS

Africorp Solutions acknowledges its privacy and data protection obligations and adheres to the highest standards possible to ensure legal and safe processing of data, including personal information. Africorp Solutions remains accountable to ensure compliance with POPI and/or GDPR, and that it has accordingly implemented measures and procedures which give effect to such compliance. In this regard, Africorp Solutions has registered its designated Information Officer with the Information Regulator established in terms of section 39 of POPI, as well as its Deputy Information Officers to whom the Information Officer has delegated its duties. Africorp Solutions further regularly trains its staff as to their obligations arising from POPI and GDPR, and general best practice insofar as privacy and data protection. Africorp Solutions also maintains an expert Information Technology team, who maintains its information security systems. In addition to this Policy, Africorp Solutions has published various other policies which assist in the enforcement of privacy and data protection measures by its staff.

The measures and procedures implemented by Africorp Solutions, extend to the fulfilment of the following obligations insofar as privacy and data protection. The client or person whose data/personal information is processed is referred to as the “data subject”.
