dc.description.abstract	The principles of protection of private information have gradually been defined during the last decades. The US Privacy Act of 1974 regulates practices of the federal government. Two committees of the UK government have prepared the Data Protection Act of 1984. Codes of practice play an important role in the Netherlands. In South Africa, data privacy is protected by the law of delict. However this provides a weak and reactive opportunity for redress. While the law commission is preparing to study the subject in depth, professional organizations should establish codes of practice.	en
