The WWF Nedbank Green Trust Manual in terms of PAIA and POPIA

The WWF Nedbank Green Trust Manual outlines the procedures for requesting information and managing personal data under the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) and the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). The Trust, founded in October 1990 and managed by WWF South Africa, focuses on community-based conservation and endangered species. It specifies that annual financial statements are available without a formal request, while other records—including administration, financial, and governance documents—require a prescribed application and a request fee of R140.00 for non-personal requesters. The document also details the categories of personal information processed, the conditions for trans-border data flows, and the mechanisms for data subjects to object to processing or request the correction and deletion of their information.

• The WWF Nedbank Green Trust was established in October 1990 as an associated trust of WWF-SA in partnership with Nedbank, primarily funding conservation projects focused on endangered species and community-based conservation.
• The Trust is managed by WWF South Africa, which maintains all relevant records, as the Trust itself has no employees.
• Non-personal requesters must pay a prescribed request fee of R140.00 to access records, with additional fees for reproduction, search, and preparation as detailed in the manual's fee structure.
• The Trust processes personal information for several categories of data subjects, including Directors/Trustees (such as ID numbers and employment history) and service providers/consultants/contractors/partners (such as bank account details and registration numbers).
• Personal information may be transferred to third parties in foreign countries under specific conditions, such as when the recipient is subject to adequate protection laws, the data subject consents, or the transfer is necessary for a contract.
