POPI

In short your websites needs to be POPIA compliant as part of the POPIA Act in full, because websites collect clients and visitors information either via Online Enquiry Forms, Live Chats, WhatsApp Chats, eCommerce, Google Analytics, Website Control Panel Statistics, Cart Systems. Other Systems and especially Web Cookies.
 
To get your website POPIA COMPLIANT, the following needs to get in place:
  • SSL Security Certificate.
  • ReCaptcha to make forms, logins or ecommerce more secure.
  • All electronic forms need an User Agreement option to confirm that the visitor understands you are collecting their data.
  • On eCommerce and Quote to Cart systems all Cart Checkouts need an User Agreement option to confirm that the visitor understands you are collecting their data by doing the transaction.
  • All websites need a Cookie Policy Agreement Popup with options where clients can either Agree or Deny Cookie tracking and also be linked to Cookie Policy.
  • All websites need a Privacy Policy page.
  • All websites need a Cookie Policy Page connected to the Popup Agreement that shows what information is tracked.
  • Visitors also need an option on the Privacy Policy page to request the info you have collected about them, as well as option to ask you to delete all info you have about them.
  • POPIA states that you as owner of the website needs to be able to recover the latest version of your website to supply data and transactions of clients or visitors on your website at all times in an event of a malicious act like hacking or your website has failed.
