What POPIA covers
The Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) is South Africa's primary data privacy law. It regulates how organisations collect, process, store, secure, and share personal information.
ConsentYes is built to help businesses present clearer consent choices, record consent decisions, and manage privacy requests. It does not replace legal advice and does not guarantee compliance.
How ConsentYes helps support POPIA-ready workflows
- Consent banners that explain cookie and tracking choices clearly.
- Cookie categories such as necessary, preferences, statistics, and marketing.
- Consent records with timestamps and selected categories.
- Cookie scans that help identify cookies used on a website.
- Data subject request workflows for access, correction, deletion, portability, and objection requests.
- Custom CSS support so the banner can match the website experience.
The eight POPIA processing conditions
1. Accountability
Organisations remain responsible for how they collect and process personal information. ConsentYes helps keep consent-related records organised.
2. Processing limitation
ConsentYes is designed to collect only the information needed to record consent choices and support privacy workflows.
3. Purpose specification
Clear banner copy and cookie categories help visitors understand why cookies or similar technologies are used.
4. Further processing limitation
Consent records should be used for the purposes they were collected for, such as audit evidence and consent preference management.
5. Information quality
Account owners should keep their website, cookie category, and organisation information accurate and current.
6. Openness
ConsentYes helps present privacy and cookie choices in a way visitors can understand before making a decision.
7. Security safeguards
ConsentYes uses technical and organisational safeguards to help protect platform data, while customers remain responsible for their own website and business systems.
8. Data subject participation
DSAR workflows help businesses receive and track requests from people exercising their privacy rights.
Important limitation
ConsentYes helps support compliance work, but no consent management platform can guarantee legal compliance. Your business remains responsible for its own privacy notices, legal basis, data processing practices, and advice from qualified professionals.
