Understanding Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019

The Data Protection Act, 2019 (DPA), is the cornerstone of data privacy in Kenya, establishing strict regulations for the processing of personal data. Enforced by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC), the Act mandates principles such as lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity, and confidentiality. Our firm, Mwenda Njagi & Co.

We assist clients in understanding their obligations as data controllers and processors, including consent management, data subject rights, and cross-border data transfers.
