POPI-WET
Die vervaldatum vir die Wet op die Beskerming van Persoonlike Inligting, 4 van 2013 (“POPIA”), is 01 Julie 2021 en bring enkele veranderinge mee.
Een van hierdie veranderinge is dat daar van administrateurs verwag moet word om toestemming te verkry vir deelname aan ‘n WhatsApp-, Telegram- of Signal-groep. As sodanig word u hiermee in kennis gestel dat u geregtig is om sodanige toestemming te weier en u mag so ‘n reg uitoefen deur hierdie groep te verlaat.
As u verkies om in hierdie groep te bly, word aanvaar dat u ingestem het om deel te wees van hierdie groep en dat u persoonlike inligting (selfoonnommer, naam, ens.) opmerklik is vir enige persoon in hierdie groep. Ons versoek alle lede van hierdie groep om nie om watter rede ook al van sulke persoonlike inligting gebruik te maak sonder om die toestemming van die betrokke persoon te verkry nie.
Die skeppers, administrateurs en amptenare van hierdie groep is nie en sal nie verantwoordelik gehou word vir enige inhoud in hierdie groep wat as onvanpas, lasterlik, beledigend, aanstootlik, verkeerd of op enige ander manier wettiglik beskou word nie. Ons vrywaar en distansieer ons hiermee van sodanige inhoud, aangesien ons uiteindelik nie verantwoordelik is vir inhoud wat deur gebruikers geplaas word sonder ons vooraf toestemming of goedkeuring nie. Gebruikers is verantwoordelik vir hul eie gedrag en die inhoud wat hulle plaas. Deur vrywillig tot hierdie groep toe te tree en u nie uit hierdie groep te verwyder nie, plaas u uself onder die geplaasde reëls en riglyne van hierdie groep wat gereeld deur die administrateurs en amptenare van hierdie groep gepos word. U moet ook daarop let dat dit moontlik nie moontlik is om inhoud uit hierdie groep te verwyder sodra dit gepos is nie. Whatsapp (TM) gee administrateurs van ‘n groep byvoorbeeld NIE die vermoë om aanstootlike inhoud te verwyder nie, en u stem hiermee saam dat die administrateurs nie verantwoordelik is vir sulke inhoud wat deur die gebruikers geplaas word nie. Gebruikers wat die genoemde reëls van hierdie groep oortree, sal so gou as moontlik verwyder word (of sodra dit onder ons aandag gebring word). U mag niks wat u in hierdie groep sien, hoor of lees as regsadvies of professionele leiding interpreteer nie. U moet eers die inligting wat hier gegee word, self verifieer voordat u daarop reageer. Hierdie groep bestaan slegs vir inligtingsdoeleindes. Hierdie bepalings is nie onderhandelbaar nie en deur ‘n lid van hierdie groep te bly, stem u in tot sulke bepalings. As u nie saamstem nie, moet u die groep onmiddellik verlaat.
