POPIA Privacy Policy Template (South Africa)

If your business collects any personal information — a name, email, phone number or ID — POPIA requires you to tell people how you handle it and to appoint an Information Officer. Almost every business does, which means almost every business needs a privacy policy.

The Information Regulator can impose administrative fines of up to R10 million for non-compliance. A generic policy copied from another site won't name your Information Officer or reflect how you actually operate.

FoundersDesk generates a POPIA-aligned privacy policy pre-filled with your company name, registration number, address and Information Officer — and it comes with the matching PAIA Manual the same Act expects you to have.
