But protecting sensitive company and customer data is so much more than a nice-to-have. Privacy regulations like the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) may require website owners to make changes to their business practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we break down what these regulations entail and what you as a website owner need to know.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is POPIA?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">POPI stands for Protection of Personal Information. POPIA stands for the Protection of Personal Information Act, Act No. 4 of 2013 or the POPI Act.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The POPI Act was passed by the South African National Assembly, to promote and ensure the protection of personal information by public and private bodies in South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the GDPR?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European privacy law which became enforceable on 25 May 2018. It aims to strengthen the security and protection of personal data in the EU.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This law determines how companies must process, protect and notify their customers about their personal data. This includes all aspects of collecting, storing, transferring or using personal data. It includes anyone living in the European Union.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is this European law important for South African business?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global trade has resulted in cross-continental data exchange. The manner in which data is collected, processed, stored and transferred has serious implications for the privacy and security of individuals. If you have an online business, you could have customers in multiple countries, including the EU. This legislation affects you, as it has been designed to protect your customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have a small business. Does this really affect my business?\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer is a resounding \u201cYes!\u201d If you collect and process your customers\u2019 data, then you need to be GDPR and POPIA-compliant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine you own a small guesthouse and you have an online booking system. Your guests from all over the world, including the UK and Europe, are able to book accommodation at your guesthouse online. In terms of the GDPR, you are a data controller. Your online process requires collection of their personal data upfront (name, address, email, phone number, passport\/ID, credit card details etc.) captured on an online booking form and stored on your server. Therefore, you need to be GDPR and POPIA-compliant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your online booking is processed through a third party (or data processor) such as Booking.com or tripadvisor.co.za (meaning that they collect the personal data on your behalf and then pass it on to you), then they \uff0d and you \uff0dneed to be compliant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is xneelo GDPR compliant?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The short answer is yes. While we only have a small number of EU customers, we take the protection of our customers\u2019 personal data very seriously. We comply with the relevant data protection laws as set out in the GDPR.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s important is that we have no access to our customers\u2019 data, neither do we have access to the data that our customers collect from theirs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do POPI, POPIA and GDPR relate to each other?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While GDPR focuses on the data of an individual, POPIA focuses on individuals and companies in South Africa. The great news is that if your business is GDPR compliant, then you are well on your way to POPIA compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you a data processor, data controller, or both?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of the GDPR, a data controller is the party that determines the reasons, conditions and methods of extracting and processing personal data.
