Why would my organisation be interested in the Data Protection Act?
If your organisation collects, handles or uses personal information of individuals in Kenya, then the law places certain obligations on your organisation.
Failure to comply with these obligations could result in legal penalties on your organisation.
Complying with the Data Protection Act protects the personal information of individuals and helps to avoid potential penalties for non-compliance.
