POPIA Compliance

Revelation FM (the "Responsible Party" under POPIA) is a Christian online radio ministry based in Johannesburg, South Africa. We are committed to processing personal information in accordance with POPIA's eight conditions for lawful processing. Because we are a ministry, we hold ourselves to a simple standard: collect as little as possible, use it only for the reason you gave it, protect it properly, and honour your requests to see, correct, or delete it.

Our Information Officer is responsible for POPIA and PAIA matters, including access requests, corrections, deletions, objections, and complaints:

Under POPIA you have the right to:

• Be notified that your personal information is being collected, and why;
• Request access to the personal information we hold about you;
• Request correction or deletion of inaccurate, irrelevant, excessive, outdated, or unlawfully obtained information;
• Object, on reasonable grounds, to the processing of your information;
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent (this does not affect processing already done);
• Not be subject to decisions made solely by automated processing — we make none;
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (section 8).

The Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000 (PAIA) gives you the right to request access to records we hold. A PAIA manual describing our records and the request procedure is available on request from our Information Officer at info@revelationfm.co.za. The Information Regulator's official PAIA guide (in each official language) is available at inforegulator.org.za.

• Operators: our hosting provider processes site data on our behalf under confidentiality and security obligations, as POPIA sections 20–21 require.
• Safeguards (section 19): access-controlled server APIs, hashed admin passwords, token-based sessions with expiry, IP-based rate limiting, pre-publication moderation of public submissions, and an administrative activity log.
• Security compromises (section 22): if a breach affects your personal information, we will notify you and the Information Regulator as soon as reasonably possible, in the manner POPIA prescribes.
• Cross-border flows (section 72): limited to technical data shared with CDN/font and geolocation providers bound to comparable protections.

We do not send electronic direct marketing, we run no mailing lists from this website, and we never share your details with marketers. Should that ever change, we would ask for your opt-in consent first, as section 69 of POPIA requires.

Please contact our Information Officer first so we can resolve your concern directly. If you remain unsatisfied, you have the right to lodge a complaint (free of charge, using the Regulator's Form 5) with:
