Adapting GDPR material to South African context

A lot of the documentation that is present in our EU GDPR Documentation Toolkits can be reused or adapted for POPIA compliance. Namely, all the documents related to Preparations for the Project, Personal Data Policy Framework, Privacy Notices, Mapping of Processing Activities, Managing Data Subject Rights, Security of Personal Data, and Personal Data Breaches can be used for POPIA compliance with minor adjustments. Regarding the other documents present in our Documentation Toolkit, they need some more customization related to specific POPIA articles.
