Data concerns

With the new Protection of Private Information Act (POPIA) coming into effect on 1 Jul, we would like to note that all communications are opt-in. The Google group you have received this from is opt-in, and so is the WhatsApp group. Both of these are POPIA compliant.

If you do not want to be part of these groups, you can still get updates via the website https://wpgm.co.za.

The database of members is stored on a secure cloud drive. Recently, the member database was shared; please can you ensure your details are correct in the sheet and any errors email to secretary.at.wpgm.co.za.

Baring human error, this database will not be shared with anyone, not on the committee or the committee that has nominated to have access to the data (like the SA GM selection committee).
