PAIA Manual
Access to information, in plain terms.
This manual is published under section 51 of the Promotion of Access to Information Act, 2000 (PAIA), read with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA). It explains what records Precision Workflows holds and how to request access to them.

3. The official guide
The Information Regulator publishes a guide on how to use PAIA (section 10). It is available from the Regulator at inforegulator.org.za, by email to inforeg@inforegulator.org.za, or at JD House, 27 Stiemens Street, Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
4. Records held
Categories of records the company holds, some of which are available only on a PAIA request and subject to the Act's grounds of refusal:
Statutory and company records (CIPC registration, memorandum of incorporation, statutory registers, beneficial ownership) · financial and tax records (accounting records, SARS registrations and returns, bank records) · client engagement records (applications, correspondence, assessment working papers, reports, contracts) · supplier and operational records (agreements, invoices, hosting and service-provider records) · website and marketing records (enquiry records, published content) · personnel records, if and when the company employs staff.
5. Records available without a PAIA request
Content published on this website, including the privacy notice and this manual. Records available from other public bodies (for example CIPC company records) should be requested from those bodies.
6. Processing of personal information (POPIA)
Purpose of processing: responding to enquiries, assessing and delivering consulting engagements, maintaining business and statutory records, and administering supplier relationships.
Categories of data subjects: enquirers and applicants, client representatives and staff whose workflow information is examined during an engagement, and supplier contacts.
Recipients: service providers used to operate the business (email, messaging and hosting providers), professional advisers, and authorities where the law requires it. Personal information is not sold.
Cross-border transfers: some service providers process information outside South Africa under their own terms, as described in the privacy notice.
Security measures: access limited to the director, first-party hosting with security headers, encrypted transport, and retention limits described in the privacy notice.
7. How to request a record
Use PAIA Form 02 (available from the Information Regulator's website), describe the record, state which right you need it to exercise or protect, and send it to the email address above. The prescribed request fee and access fees under the PAIA regulations apply; requests for your own personal information carry no request fee. The company must respond within 30 days, which may be extended once by up to 30 days for the reasons the Act allows.
8. Remedies
If a request is refused and you disagree, you may complain to the Information Regulator (complaints.IR@inforegulator.org.za) or apply to court under the Act.
9. Availability of this manual
This manual is available on this website and at the registered office during business hours. It is reviewed when company details or processing practices change.
