TRUSTEES FOR THE FUTURE
POPIA and PAIA
As Trustees for the Future, we are committed to upholding the principles of transparency and protecting your fundamental right to privacy, as defined by South African law. Our compliance is governed by two key pieces of legislation: the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) and the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA)
Focus: The right to access a record of Trustees for the Future, necessary for the exercise or protection of any right.
Purpose of the PAIA Manual
As required by Section 51 of PAIA, Trustees for the Future has prepared a PAIA Manual.
The primary purpose of this Manual is to grant individuals access to our records if the record assists them in exercising or protecting their legal rights under the law. It defines the categories of information that we are legally obligated to disclose and outlines the procedures for submitting a formal request.
Requesting Access to Company Records
In terms of PAIA, a person can request access to any record of Trustees for the Future that is needed to exercise or protect a right.
Where access is granted, it will be done lawfully, reasonably, within a reasonable timeframe, in a reasonable manner, and in a generally understandable form. Where access is denied, this will be done fairly and ethically, according to internal procedure on the basis of sound and lawful reasons only.
Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA)
Focus: Protecting the personal information of a Data Subject and granting access to the specific information we hold about them.
Your Data Subject Rights
In terms of POPIA, you are entitled to exercise the following rights regarding your personal information held by Trustees for the Future:
- Confirmation of Information: The right to know whether or not we hold any personal information about you.
- Description and Access: The right to request a general description of the categories of personal information we hold, and to request copies of the actual records containing your personal information.
- Correction or Deletion: The right to request the correction or deletion of personal information we hold that is inaccurate, irrelevant, excessive, out-of-date, incomplete, misleading, or obtained unlawfully.
Our Data Handling Commitment
This includes our obligation to maintain a complete and up-to-date record of all personal information we hold, and a record of which third parties have access to what.
- No Confirmation Fee: We do not charge a fee to confirm whether we hold personal information about a data subject.
- Fee for Copies: A regulated fee will be charged when providing copies of the personal information that we hold.
