Overview
The Kenya Data Protection Act (DPA) came into effect in November 2019. It aims to protect the privacy rights of the data subjects. The DPA applies to data controllers and data processors who process personal data of data subjects within Kenya. The legislation imposes restrictions on the transfer of personal data to third parties without the data subject's consent. Breaches of the DPA can result in punitive financial penalties. DPA also makes individuals personally liable to a financial penalty of up to three million shillings or an imprisonment term of up to ten years – or both sanctions. In addition to the DPA, the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) has subsequently gazetted the Data Protection (General) General Regulations, 2021. These regulations set out the enforcement procedures with respect to the protection of – and in case of breaches – enforcement of the rights of data subjects. The regulations further elaborate on the duties and obligations of Data Controllers and Data Processors.
