What is PoPIA?
The PoPI Act regulates how organisations handle personal information, whether it is for individuals or other businesses. This information ranges from ID numbers, to credit card details that you may take for payments and employment history.
That is why Adclick Africa have compiled a simple, easy -to-use PoPIA Compliance Guide to help SMEs and marketers unpack what they need to put in place to comply. It has quick checklists, making your journey to PoPIA compliance a seamless one.
How PoPIA affects your digital marketing
If you request any of these details from your potential customers, you need the PoPIA Compliance Guide as some aspects of the law may pertain to you as an SME owner or marketer: gender, age, language, email address, phone or mobile number, physical address, location, personal opinions, views or personal preferences.
“Our guide will help you understand the urgency of complying with PoPIA and will guide the audit process of your business operations in relation to digital marketing and online communication.” Says Adclick Africa’s CEO and founder, Velly Bosega.
