We share a lot more information in the digital world than we used to.
We share a lot more information in the digital world than we used to.
Businesses, organisations, close family, friends and acquaintances- all have access to some of our important personal data. Anyone who has this information needs to protect it and make sure it is not abused, sold, or falls into the hands of a criminal.
The need for data protection has been recognised for over a decade, with Data Protection Day celebrated internationally on 28 January. Data Protection Day is the ideal time to find out which data protection laws are in force in South Africa, and how companies and institutions are implementing them.
