SilverStream Privacy Toolkit for POPIA

SilverStream Privacy Toolkit for POPIA is a WordPress plugin designed to help South African website owners automate the generation of compliance documents required under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). The toolkit addresses the legal obligations of organisations that collect and process personal information, offering a self-hosted solution that operates entirely on the user's own server without making external server calls or storing data outside the local WordPress database.

Key features include automatic generation of a Privacy Policy that covers all POPIA Section 18 requirements, a customisable cookie consent banner with options for position, colour, and messaging, and a Terms & Conditions page tailored to the business's details. The plugin also creates an Information Officer declaration in line with Section 55, a Data Breach Response Plan as required by Section 22, and a printable staff awareness notice personalised with the Information Officer's contact information. All generated documents are standard WordPress pages compatible with any theme or page builder, including Divi and Elementor.

The toolkit is available in two versions: a free version that covers core compliance needs, and a Pro version available for a one-time fee per domain. The Pro version adds features such as a consent log with CSV export, a data subject request form and dashboard, and a comprehensive 23-item compliance checklist. Pro users also benefit from auto-updates via the WordPress dashboard and priority email support. Both versions are 100% self-hosted, with no ongoing subscription or monthly fees.

SilverStream Privacy Toolkit for POPIA is intended for South African businesses and organisations seeking to meet their POPIA compliance obligations, particularly those operating WordPress websites that collect personal information. The plugin generates the necessary documents and tools to support compliance but is not a substitute for legal advice. Each licence for the Pro version covers one domain, and users are advised to consult a qualified attorney to ensure full compliance for their specific circumstances.
