The ONLY WordPress Plugin for South African POPIA or POPI Act!
-
I installed every single plugin that has the tag “POPIA” attached to it and found that this plugin is the ONLY one that DOES MAKE YOU Compliant. The free version has a CHECKLIST included and if you follow this carefully you should be POPIA Compliant. I myself do not have the time to implement all the requirements on the list, so I decided to try out the PRO version. It took me 20 minutes (not 15 as advertised) to set up my entire compliance for my website! I was also amazed to see how thoroughly it was thought through. There were many things that I did not think of despite having read the entire act.
Don’t fall for the other supposed POPIA Compliant Plugins, they don’t make you POPIA Compliant!!!
I don’t know why, but everyone seems to think when placing a cookie banner on their website, they think they are now POPIA Compliant…
Furthermore what is even more ridiculous, is the fact that cookie banner plugins… I won’t call names, think it is OKAY to further exploit this belief by advertising their plugins as being POPIA Compliant.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I have just downloaded the POPIA plugin. Basically doing the setup on the free version. It seems to be ok so far, but when tested on mobile the popup does seem to have an issue where it does not disappear after having clicked the “Accept cookies” button.
I am also a bit confused with the process of validating people who request their personal data. I’m using Ninja Forms to allow people to upload their Picture and ID as validation but how do you know that ID belongs to that person and How do we validate the ID that it is in fact the right person before handing over the data? Thanks, Mike
