In Recovery Direct South Africa (Pty) Ltd context, the PoPI Act significantly affects the manner in which we collect, store/archive, use, share and destroy personal information of our patients, employees, service providers and alumni. The Act will balances the legitimate needs of Recovery Direct South Africa (Pty) Ltd to collect and use personal information for business and strategic purposes against the right of individuals (patients, employees, service providers and alumni) to privacy.

  4. Further Processing Limitation

In response to the above-mentioned requirements of the POPI Act, the Centre should align its processes and systems to position itself to ensure full compliance with the Act. To facilitate and enhance achievement of this important mandate, the Centre has created the Directorate: Institutional Information under the Technical Director Advisory, Assurance Services and Registrar Governance Portfolio. The Directorate will be engaging with all functional units within the Centre to assist them in aligning their processes and systems with the PoPI requirements.

General Data Protection Regulation

Passed in 2016, the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most significant legislative change in European data protection laws since the EU Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC), introduced in 1995. The GDPR, which becomes enforceable on May 25, 2018, seeks to strengthen the security and protection of personal data in the EU and serve as a single piece of legislation for all of the EU. It will replace the EU Data Protection Directive and all the local laws relating to it.

We support the GDPR and will ensure all Recovery Direct South Africa (Pty) Ltd services comply with its provisions by May 25, 2018. Not only is the GDPR an important step in protecting the fundamental right of privacy for European citizens, it also raises the bar for data protection, security and compliance in the industry.
