Data subjects have several rights under POPIA, for example, accessing their information or objecting to the processing thereof. For some requests, there are formal procedures, but there are instances where the data subject can approach any employee. This course will train staff on how to respond to a data subject request in the correct manner so as not to create legal difficulties for their employer.



Description

The Training of Staff to Respond to a Data Subject Request Course will assist staff respond to data subject requests. The Protection of Personal Information Act gives data subjects a number of rights. For example, data subjects have the right of access to information. This gives data subjects the right to request a responsible party (an employer, a financial institution or any other entity that processes personal information), to confirm, free of charge, whether or not it holds personal information about the data subject. This is a constitutional right. It helps data subjects understand how and why a responsible party is processing their data and whether it is being done lawfully.

The timeline for responding to a data subject request (DSR) runs from the time the DSR reaches the responsible party through an official channel, and the clock may start running even if the correct person within the responsible party has not received it. Consequently, employees must be trained to recognise a data subject access request and how to respond appropriately.

  • Valid receipt of a data subject request
