Another sign of the growing interest in the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI Act) was the recent invitation to Dr Tobin, founder of PTC, to present on "POPI: how does it affect you?" at the July Information Builders User Forum. This presentation was made in partnership with IACT-Africa, where Dr Tobin acts as a data privacy and POPI consultant. The User Forum event, held at the Courtyard Hotel, Johannesburg, was well attended and saw delegates take part in a "POPI Quiz", as well as having the chance to be among the first people in South Africa to view the new "information rights for schools" video published recently by the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK’s independent authority set up to uphold information rights in the public interest, promoting openness by public bodies and data privacy for individuals.
