The compliance due date for the Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013 (“POPIA”), being 1 July 2021, is here. This deadline brings a few changes.
One of these changes is that the administrators of WhatsApp’s groups will be required to obtain your consent for being part of this WhatsApp group. Please note that you are entitled to refuse such consent and you may exercise such a right by leaving this page.
Should you elect to remain on this page, it will be accepted that you have consented to being a part of it and that your personal information (being your cell phone number and name if on other persons’ contact lists) is viewable by any person in this group.
