DATA SUBJECT PARTICIPATION AND INFORMATON OFFICER DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
This PAI Act Manual as well as the Lookn Privacy Policy gives effect to Sections 23 and 55 of POPIA.
Section 23(1) of POPIA states that:
“A data subject, having provided adequate proof of identity, has the right to -
request a responsible party to confirm, free of charge, whether or not the responsible party holds personal information about the data subject;
request from a responsible party the record or a description of the personal information about the data subject held by the responsible party, including information about the identity of third parties, or categories of third parties, who have, or have had, access to the information-
within a reasonable time;
at a prescribed fee, if any;
in a reasonable manner and format; and
in a form that is generally understandable.”
Section 55(1)(b) of POPIA confirms that one of the Information Officer’s responsibilities is to deal with requests for information made to the body (Lookn). Address your (as Data Subject) request to the Information Officer at the address, telephone number or electronic mail addresses referred to at 4.2 above.
Other Data subject rights are confirmed under the Lookn Privacy Policy.
STEPS TO CONSIDER BEFORE SUBMITTING A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Step 1: before submitting a request, consider the following:
Please note that section 7(1) of PAIA states that:
“This Act does not apply to a record of a public body or a private body if –
that record is requested for the purpose of criminal or civil proceedings;
so requested after the commencement of such criminal or civil proceedings, as the case may be; and
the production of or access to those records for the purpose referred to in paragraph (a) is provided for in any other law”.
If section 7(1) applies, the requester may not bring a request in terms of this Act. The requester must use the rules and procedures for discovery of information of the relevant legal forum and proceedings that he/ she is involved in.
Lookn reserves the right to claim all expenses and other damages incurred as a result of a requester submitting a request in contravention of section 7(1).
Step 2: Does the information requested exist in the form of a record?
The Act only applies to documents that are in existence at the time of receiving the request.
The Act does not compel anyone to create a record which is not yet in existence at the time the request is made.
Step 3: Is the document in the possession or under the control of Lookn?
The Act provides that the requested record must be in Lookns’ possession or under its control. If the document is not in Lookns’ possession, the requester must request the record from the party under whose possession or control it is.
ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION
The provisions of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECT Act) are applicable to all forms, records, documents or any information, which are electronically communicated. The ECT Act is especially important to businesses involved in electronic commerce.
The ECT Act introduced formal legal recognition of electronic commerce to South Africa. It provides for the facilitation and regulation of electronic communications and transactions, including issues related to electronic signatures, electronic evidence and computer crimes. Its primary objective is to facilitate and to provide legal certainty on e-commerce and electronic records.
ACCESS: PROCEDURE, AVAILABILITY AND PRESCRIBED FEES
How to request a record (PAIA section 53):
requests for access to records contemplated in section 53(1) of the Act, must be made on a form that corresponds substantially with Form 2 of Annexure 1 to this Manual, to the Information Officer.
The Information Officer must:
assist a requester with any request with regards to a request for access to information; and
if a request for access to information is made orally as a result of illiteracy or a disability of a requester, complete Form 2 of Annexure 1 to the Manual on behalf of the requester and provide a copy thereof to the requester, as contemplated in section 18(3) of the Act.
The request fee payable by every requester referred to in section 54(1) of the Act, is prescribed in Item 1 of Annexure 2 to the Manual.
Failure to make use of the prescribed form could result in your request being refused or delayed.
Should the Information Officer be of the opinion that fulfilment of the request will require more time than the prescribe hours, the requester will be informed to pay a deposit, of no more than a third of the above request fee. In the event that the request is denied, the deposit will be refunded to the requester.
The requester must provide sufficient detail on the request Form to enable the Information Officer to clearly identify:
The record(s) requested.
The requester (positive proof of identification).
The format of access required:
the postal address, email address and telephone number of the requester in the Republic; and
if the requester wishes to be informed of the decision in any manner (in addition to written), the manner and particulars thereof.
Access is not automatic. The requester must therefore identify the right he/ she is seeking to exercise or protect and provide an explanation as to why the requested record is required for the exercise or protection of that right.
If a request is made on behalf of a person, the requester must then submit proof, to the satisfaction of the Information Officer, of his/ her authority to make the request. Failure to do so will result in the request being rejected.
Decision on request (section 56):
The requester will be notified, within 30 (thirty) days, in the manner indicated by him/ her of the outcome of his/ her request, alternatively whether an extension not exceeding 30 (thirty) days is required to deal with the request.
If the request for access is granted, a further access fee must be paid for the search, preparation and reproduction of the records as well as for any time that has exceeded the prescribed hours to search and prepare the record for disclosure. Access will be withheld until the requester has made payment of the applicable fee(s).
If the request for access is refused, reasons for the refusal will be provided and the requester will be advised that he/ she may lodge an application with a court against the refusal of the request, as well as the procedure for lodging the application.
The main grounds for refusal of a request relates to:
the unreasonable disclosure of Personal Information about a third party, including a deceased person (subject to section 63(2) of the Act);
disclosure that could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of an individual;
the disclosure that would likely prejudice or impair, inter alia -
the security of a building, structure or system, including but not limited to, a computer or communication system;
a means of transport; or
any other property;
mandatory protection of the privacy of a third party who is a natural person, which would involve unreasonable disclosure of Personal Information of that natural person;
mandatory protection of commercial information of a third party, if the record contains:
trade secrets of that third party;
financial, commercial, scientific, or technical information which disclosure could likely cause harm to the financial or commercial interest of that third party; or
information disclosed in confidence by a third party to Lookn, if the disclosure could put that third party at a disadvantage in negotiations or commercial competition;
mandatory protection of confidential information of third parties if it is protected in terms of any agreement;
mandatory protection of the safety of individuals and the protection of property;
mandatory protection of records which would be regarded as privileged in legal proceedings;
commercial activities of Lookn, which may include:
financial, commercial, legal or technical information which disclosure could likely cause harm to the financial or commercial interest of Lookn;
information which, if disclosed could put Lookn at a disadvantage in negotiations or commercial competition;
the research information of Lookn or a third party, if its disclosure would disclose the identity of Lookn, the researcher or the subject matter and would place the research at a serious disadvantage; or
requests for information which is clearly frivolous or vexations, or which involve unreasonable diversion of resources.
The requester may lodge an internal appeal or an application to court against the tender or payment of the request fee.
The Information Officer must, if a request for access to a record referred to under 15.1.1 to 15.1.3 above is granted or refused, inform the requester of-
his or her decision; and
the fees payable as provided for in Annexure 2 of the Manual: Provided that a request for a copy of the guide may not be refused.
A person who requests-
a copy of a record contemplated under 6.1 above; or
access to a record as contemplated in 15.1.1 to 15.1.3 above of the Manual, may be charged the fee for reproduction and postage as prescribed in Annexure 2 of the Manual, if the request is granted.
If-
the search for the record in respect of which a request for access has been made; and
the preparation of the record for disclosure, including any arrangement contemplated in section 29(2)(a) and (b)(i) and (ii)(aa) of the Act, would, in the opinion of the Information Officer, require more than 6 (six) hours for these purposes, the Information Officer must inform the requester to pay a deposit, must not exceed one third of the amount payable, if the request is granted.
The fee for the search for and preparation of the record contemplated in section 29(2)(a) and (b)(i) or 54(2)(a) and (b)(i) of the Act is provided for in Item 9 of Annexure 2 to this Manual.
Records that cannot be found or that are lost:
If all reasonable steps have taken to find a requested record, and there are reasonable grounds to believe the record is in Lookns’ possession but cannot be found or does not exist, Lookns’ Information Officer will notify the requester, by way of affidavit or affirmation as prescribed by the Act, that it is not possible to give access to the requested record.
If, after notice is given as per 15.7.1 above, the record is found, the requester concerned must be given access to the record, unless access is refused on any of the refusal grounds provided for in the Act.
Remedies available when a request is refused:
Lookn does not have an internal appeal procedure.
Any decision made by the Information Officer is final.
Should the requester not be satisfied, the requester should exercise the external remedies provided for in the Act.
Limitation of liability:
Lookn is relieved from liability and shall have no duty whatsoever in relation to:
the integrity or accuracy of the information requested;
any delay associated with the delivery except to comply with the procedures stipulated herein; and/ or
that the information requested will conform with the requirements of the requester except that it should correspond with the title and description provided by the requester.
