The Promotion of Access to Information Act, 2000 (PAIA), as amended by The Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) gives certain parties the right to approach private and public bodies to request; rectify or delete information held by them, which is required in the exercise and/or protection of their rights.
On request, the private and/or public body is obliged to release such information unless the relevant Acts expressly states that the records containing such information may or must not be released.
The Protection of Personal Information Act was enacted to give effect to the constitutional right to privacy, by safeguarding personal information when processed by Suiderkruis Security Services (PTY) LTD subject to justifiable limitations.
The aim of this manual is to inform requestors of procedural requirements; to facilitate the requests for access to records of Suiderkruis Security Services (PTY) LTD as provided for in the relevant Acts; and to inform and prescribe the procedures and measures to be effected to comply with the provisions of POPIA as well as the internal processes of Suiderkruis Security Services (PTY) LTD with regards to the Acts.
