The Table Mountain Fund Manual in terms of PAIA and POPIA

The Table Mountain Fund, managed by WWF South Africa, has published a manual to facilitate requests for information and the protection of personal data. The document outlines the legal framework, the process for requesting records, the associated fees, and the categories of data processed. It specifies that the Trust's objectives include developing projects aligned with the Cape Action for People and the Environment (C.A.P.E.) and addressing high biodiversity areas, with funding supporting projects in the Cape Peninsula and the wider Cape Floral Kingdom.

• The Table Mountain Fund is a Trust (registration number T890/1998) established in 1998 through donations from the World Bank and WWF-SA. It is managed by WWF South Africa, which maintains all relevant records, as the Trust has no employees of its own.
• The Trust's activities are focused on biodiversity and environmental projects. Specifically, it develops projects aligned with the Cape Action for People and the Environment (C.A.P.E.) in high biodiversity areas. Funding from the Global Environment Facility supports projects across the Cape Floral Kingdom, while locally raised investment income supports projects based in the Cape Peninsula.
• Annual Financial Statements are the only category of records available from the Trust without a formal request under the Act.
• To request access to records, requesters must use a prescribed form and submit it to the Information Officer at WWF-SA. Non-personal requesters are required to pay a request fee of R140.00, with additional fees for reproduction and search/preparation as detailed in the manual's fee structure.
• The Trust processes personal information for several categories of data subjects, including Directors/Trustees (names, ID numbers, employment history) and Service providers/Consultants/Contractors/Partners (names, bank account details, registration numbers).
• Personal information may be supplied to agents, financial institutions, suppliers, service providers, and government or regulatory bodies.
• The Trust may transfer personal information to third parties in foreign countries under specific conditions, such as when the recipient is subject to laws providing adequate protection, the data subject consents, or the transfer is necessary for a contract.
