Introduction:

The POPI Act requires us to:

2. Protect our information assets from threats, whether internal or external, deliberate or accidental, to ensure business continuation, minimize business damage and maximize business opportunities.

This policy and compliance framework establishes measures and standards for the protection and lawful processing of personal information within our organization and provides principles regarding the right of individuals to privacy and to reasonable safeguarding of their personal information.

The Information Officer is responsible for:

1. Conducting and preliminary assessment.
2. The development, implementation, and monitoring of this policy and compliance framework.
3. Ensuring that this policy is supported by appropriate documentation.

All employees, subsidiaries, business units, departments, and individuals directly associated with TTB Beverage Solutions are responsible for adhering to this policy and for reporting any security breaches or incidents to the Information Officer.

Any service provider that provides information technology services, including data storage facilities, to TTB Beverage Solutions must adhere to the requirements of the POPI Act to ensure adequate protection of personal information held by them on our behalf. Written confirmation of this effect must be obtained by service providers.

Policy Principles:

Accountability:

 Reasonable steps must be taken to store personal information obtained from candidates safely and securely.
 This includes CVs, resumes, references, qualifications, integrity checks, and any other personal information that may be obtained for the purpose of candidate representation.

Processing Limitation:

 We will collect personal information directly from candidates.
 Once in our possession, we will only process or release candidate information with their consent, except where we are required to do so by law. In the latter case, we will always inform the candidate.

Specific Purpose:

 We collect personal information from candidates in order to represent them to our clients for the purpose of recruitment and employment.

Limitation on Further Processing:

 Personal information may not be processed further in a way that is incompatible with the purpose for which it was initially obtained. We collect personal information for recruitment, and it will ONLY be used for that purpose.

Information Quality:

 We are responsible for ensuring that candidate information is complete, up-to-date, and accurate before we use it. This means that it may be necessary to request that a candidate provide updated information. In the case where a candidate cannot be reached for this purpose, their personal information will be permanently deleted from our records.

Transparency/ Openness:

 Where personal information is collected from a source other than directly from the candidate (e.g. Social Media) we are responsible for informing the candidate:

1. That their information is being collected.
2. Who is collecting their information.
3. Of the specific reason why the information is being collected.

Security Safeguards:

 We will ensure technical and organizational measures to secure the integrity of personal information, and guard against the risk of loss, damage, or destruction thereof. Personal information must also be protected against any unauthorized or unlawful use or processing.
