POPIA Act Breach
You guys are breaching the law..... I have logged a formal complaint with the Ombud on this matter as I cannot keep explaining this to " First for Woman" that call me each month, usually the first week when an auto Hippo request is completed on something that I did 5 - 6 year ago??
Automatically submitted request which I did not do, this happens each month, each #### month.........
