PIIA (SA) — Purpose of Processing

Overview

Draft the purpose of processing and lawful basis documentation for a POPIA PIIA, aligned with purpose specification and lawful processing.

Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the PIIA (SA) — Purpose of Processing skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

Example conversation

You: For our PIIA we need to document the purpose of processing and lawful basis for the HR payroll and benefits system.

Agent: I’ll draft the purpose-of-processing section. I’ll state the specific purpose (payroll, tax, benefits administration and related HR operations), then map it to the lawful basis—likely contract performance and legal obligation for tax and employment law. I’ll keep it tight so it’s clear and auditable, and I can load the POPIA lawful-basis reference in the skill if you want to double-check the wording against the Act.

Output excerpt

Purpose of processing — Personal information is processed for the purpose of payroll calculation and payment, statutory tax and employment reporting, and administration of employee benefits (medical aid, pension, leave). This includes salary, bank details, tax ID, and relevant HR data.

Lawful basis — Processing is necessary for the performance of the contract of employment (section 11(1)(b)) and for compliance with legal obligations (section 11(1)(c)), including the Income Tax Act and labour legislation. No consent is relied upon for core payroll processing.

Further processing — Use of the same data for analytics or benchmarking would be assessed separately for compatibility with the original purpose or an additional lawful basis.
