Kenya's Data Protection Act, enacted in 2019, mirrors principles found in GDPR, emphasizing individual privacy rights, data security, and cross-border data transfer restrictions. Tech startups operating in Kenya or handling Kenyan personal data must align their data handling practices with the Act’s provisions. This includes implementing adequate data protection measures, obtaining explicit consent for data processing, and preparing for data subject requests regarding their personal information. Compliance ensures not just legal integrity but also enhances consumer confidence in tech startups.
