Proposed amendments to the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act

6th February 2013

The Protection of Personal Information Bill is a South African version of Data Privacy legislation that all organisations will need to comply with once promulgated. Understanding what this means for organisations and individuals alike is essential. With a global view on data privacy becoming more stringent, it is necessary to create awareness of this legislation and for organisations to have a deeper understanding of the true cost of non-compliance with data privacy, which includes the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act.

Deloitte Risk Advisory: Technology and Privacy legal specialist Daniella Kafouris, discusses the proposed amendments to the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act with Polity's Shannon de Ryhove.
