POPI: The Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act explained
In simple terms, the purpose of 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 personal 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:

• when and how you choose to share your information (requires your consent)
• the type and extent of information you choose to share (must be collected for valid reasons)
• transparency and accountability on how your data will be used (limited to the purpose) and notification if/when the data is compromised
• providing you with access to your own information as well as the right to have your data removed and/or destroyed should you so wish
• who has access to your information, i.e. there must be adequate measures and controls in place to track access and prevent unauthorised people, even within the same company, from accessing your information
• how and where your information is stored (there must be adequate measures and controls in place to safeguard your information to protect it from theft, or being compromised)
• the integrity and continued accuracy of your information (i.e. your information must be captured correctly and once collected, the institution is responsible to maintain it)

Examples of "personal information" for an individual could include:

• Identity and/or passport number
• Date of birth and age
• Phone number/s (including mobile phone number)
• Email address/es
• Online/Instant messaging identifiers
• Physical address
• Gender, Race and Ethnic origin
• Photos, voice recordings, video footage (also CCTV), biometric data
• Marital/Relationship status and Family relations
• Criminal record
• Private correspondence
• Religious or philosophical beliefs including personal and political opinions
• Employment history and salary information
• Financial information
• Education information
• Physical and mental health information including medical history, blood type, details on your sex life
• Membership to organisations/unions

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
 
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
 
Fair Information Practices
 
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
 
We will notify you via email
 
      • Within 1 business day

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only those individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
 
CAN SPAM Act
 
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
We collect your email address in order to:
 
      • Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.
      • Send you additional information related to your product and/or service

To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following:
 
      • Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
      • Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
      • Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
      • Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
      • Honour opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
      • Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.
