Summary Of The Protection Of Information Act (POPI Act)


The POPI Act, naturally has an impact on how personal information is destroyed, in line with its goal of keeping personal information out of the wrong hands. The Act does not require any specific proof of the destruction of records however, it does require that the method of destruction prevents the records from being reconstructed in a way that makes it accessible. Legally, this allows companies to still utilise office-based shredders, however, what it does not give them is safety of a Certificate of Destruction which shredding companies like Documentshredding offer, which means that if a dispute were to arise, there wouldn’t be any evidence that the records were destroyed correctly.


Have your important documents and data destroyed with our secure and friendly pick-up service. Or when moving home it is an opportune time to de-clutter and for many of us we build up over the years vast amounts of personal paperwork which is confidential in nature and details our names and addresses.

Paperwork such as old bank statements and payslips, bills and receipts old passports etc that can identify us by our name and or address can be lethal if they fall into the hands of opportune Identity Thieves!


Shredding our personal and confidential paperwork is an essential defence against Identity Theft Crime...but unfortunately smaller domestic shredders can be temperamental and often overheat and can take 10-15 minutes to cool down in order to switch back on again.


Then there is the removal of paper clips and staples and having to hand feed 2-3 sheets of paper at a time which is a slow and painful task, to say the least!


At Documentshredding, we provide a straightforward, cost-effective and secure solution to keep your family and business paperwork 100% safe and secure and we stop Identity Theft 'Dead' in its tracks.
