Information Regulator to act on WhatsApp privacy
May 16, 2021NEWS
The Information Regulator has asked for Facebook South Africa and WhatsApp LLC to appear in Parliament to answer questions about its new privacy policies set to take effect this month. The independent body, which falls under the Department of Justice, says there are substantial differences between the privacy policies for WhatsApp users living in Europe compared to those living in other parts of the world.
.On 15 May 2021, WhatsApp will require users to accept new terms and conditions for using the App. The Information Regulator (IR) said it had written to WhatsApp LLC and requested it to revise the privacy policy in South Africa to match it to the standard used in the European Union (EU).

In a decision of April 28, 2020, the Belgian Data Protection Authority (DPA) imposed a fine of €50,000 in a case where a data protection officer (DPO) also performed an incompatible function. According to the DPA, a DPO cannot hold a (managerial) position within the organization in which he or she can determine the purpose and/or means of the processing of personal data.
However, almost exactly one year later, in a decision of April 26, 2021, the DPA seems to have adopted a more pragmatic approach on the functions performed by a DPO within an organization.
The Information Regulator of South Africa has after correspondence, written to WhatsApp LLC requesting the company to revise its privacy policy in South Africa to the standard used in the European Union (EU).
On 15 May 2021, WhatsApp will require users to accept new terms and conditions for using the app.
In a statement released on Thursday, the regulator said it has received no agreement from WhatsApp on the matter.
“Under the circumstances, the Regulator is briefing attorneys to prepare an opinion on the way forward in terms of litigation.
“It remains the Regulator’s assertion that the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) has a privacy regime which is very similar to the EU regime, and therefore believes that WhatsApp should adopt the EU policy in South Africa, and other countries in the global south that have similar regimes,” said the regulator.
