The Protection of Personal Information: Law and Practice 2nd Edition concisely addresses the legal pitfalls and compliance requirements resulting from the protection of personal information. The authors' intention is to explain in detail the position under the law, considering existing common roles together with the EU and UK's approach to data privacy, by focusing on the wealth of expert legal commentary. Expert explanation on practical questions of data processing is provided in order to unpack and fully explore the legal position and application of the law in South Africa. At its core, the publication will aim to help fill the gap in knowledge using practical examples and scenarios to assist the reader in interpreting and applying the legislation.

The title simplifies the interpretation and application of the provisions of the POPIA. It will therefore be helpful and easy for the reader to find the information they need, and the examples will illustrate how issues have been resolved by the courts in other jurisdictions, e.g. the EU and the UK.

This edition guides the reader through an increasingly complex field of law, regulation and technology. It aims to assist generalists in corporate legal departments and private practice, academia, information officers, technology developers, marketing managers, compliance officers, risk managers and others, that are confronted on a daily basis, by complex data privacy questions. These questions are arising more frequently and requires a robust interpretation of the legislation.

The aim of the publication therefore is to also cover the provisions of POPIA in an integrated way thereby helping data privacy practitioners focus on the detailed effect and impact of the relevant provisions, and assist the reader to embrace privacy concepts.
