Information Regulator going after security estates and office parks information they collect about visitors.

GUEST – Advocate Pansy Tlakula, the chairperson of the Information Regulator of South Africa

The Information Regulator of South Africa is targeting security estates and office parks over the information they collect about visitors. Many South African security estates and office parks collect a wide range of visitor data as part of their security systems. They typically scan a visitor’s driver’s license ID book and car’s license disk and collect a range of information about the person. This includes their name and surname, ID number, and other information on a driver’s licence, like age and gender. Further information that can be collected can include details about their vehicles, the vehicle registration number, and where they live.
