The POPI Act is to ensure that all South African institutions conduct themselves in a responsible manner when collecting, processing, storing and sharing another entity’s personal information by holding them accountable should they abuse or compromise your information in any way.
The POPI legislation basically considers your personal information to be “precious goods” and therefore aims to bestow upon you, as the owner of your personal information, certain rights of protection and the ability to exercise control over.
Some examples of “personal information” for an individual could be:

Identity and passport number
Date of birth and age
Marital/relationship status
Phone numbers and email addresses
Physical address, gender, race and ethnic origin
Photos, voice recordings, video footage, etc.

We at Apex Customs Solutions have the duty to protect our clients’ personal information and we are obliged by our South African Laws as per the POPI Act 4 of 2013 which came into effect in 2018.
