Under Section 5(1)(b) of the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 of South Africa, a data subject has the right to establish whether a responsible party holds personal information on them and may request access to his, her, or its personal information as provided for in terms of section 23.

The data subject may exercise their right under Section 23 of the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 of South Africa, by completing"Form 02 Request for Access to Record of a Private Body."

The Form 2 Request for Access to Record of a Private Body can, at the time of publishing this policy, be located here: https://contourlogistics.com/pdf/InfoRegSA-PAIA-Form02-Reg7.pdf and as Appendix A to this Manual.

Any request for access to records should be submitted on the prescribed Form 02 (Appendix A), which should be sent to the Information Officer whose details are provided in this Manual.

All requesters should note that Form 02 must be completed by filling in all lines and spaces and that proof of identity must be submitted with the application.

Requests for information will be evaluated, and the requester will be notified within 30 days after receipt of the request in the prescribed format.

Requesters are advised that, in terms of PAIA, the 30 days mentioned above may be extended for a further period of not more than 30 days under certain circumstances.

If the organisation requires a data subject to pay a fee for services provided to the data subject to enable the organisation to respond to a request, the organisation will give the applicant a written estimate of the fee before providing the services and may require the applicant to pay a deposit for all or part of the fee.

When the organisation has responded to a request regarding access to personal information, the organisation shall, upon responding to the request, advise the data subject of their right to correct personal information.

9. Record Request Fees

The fees payable in respect of access to Records are attached as Appendix B.

10. Record Request Refusals

The organisation may and in some cases must withhold information if:

  1. its disclosure would involve the unreasonable disclosure of personal information about a third party, including a deceased individual.
  2. the record contains:
    1. trade secrets of a third party;
    2. financial, commercial, scientific, or technical information, other than trade secrets, of a third party, the disclosure of which would be likely to cause harm to the commercial or financial interests of that third party; or
    3. information supplied in confidence by a third party, the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to:
      • put that third party at a disadvantage in contractual or other negotiations; or
      • prejudice that third party.
  3. its disclosure would constitute an action for breach of a duty of confidence owed to a third party in terms of an agreement.
  4. its disclosure could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of an individual.
  5. the record is privileged from production in legal proceedings unless the person entitled to the privilege has waived the privilege.

    1. the third party;
    2. a person that is or will be carrying out the research on behalf of the third party; or
    3. the subject matter of the research, to serious disadvantage.

If the request for access is refused, reasons for the refusal will be provided. The requester will be advised that they may lodge an application with a court against the refusal of the request and the procedure for lodging the application.
