POPIA PRIVACY POLICY STATEMENT
In South Africa, consumers have a deep mistrust and lack the confidence that organisations use the information they collect lawfully and for an agreed upon purpose. The Protection of Personal Information Act of 2013 (POPIA) is South Africa’s prevailing data protection law. It joins a raft of similar laws around the world.
We, National Stationery cc, believe the security of our customers’ privacy is something that they never have to question. Arrangements in this regard should be uncomplicated and easily understood. Therefore, National Stationery cc builds its Privacy Policy Statement on these three objectives:
- Respect for consumer privacy.
- Provision of transparency on information processing.
- Provision of security as it relates to cybertheft, data loss and identity theft.
We believe that privacy should be focused on private consumer interactions, data encryption, reducing data permanence, data safety, interoperability of devices and applications, and secure data storage. We take full responsibility in terms of POPIA to take reasonable measures to ensure data security and prevent data breach or loss.
POPIA is about security, in addition to being about respecting the rights of the data subject.
National Stationery cc shall promote a culture of data privacy and digital transformation as a vital strategy in the complexity of our daily operations. This will deliver a competitive advantage to National Stationery cc. National Stationery cc acknowledge that there is no single tool that can accomplish end-to-end POPIA compliance, but that it is only possible through the ethical conduct of employees and managers, and the continued prioritising of the security and maintenance of our data protection systems.
