Kenya’s Data Protection Act, 2019 (DPA) is based on the framework of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), making it the third region in East Africa to have enacted and enforced data protection regulations. The DPA seeks to protect the personal data of individuals by obligating data controllers and data processors and regulating the processing of personal data. The DPA protects the personal data of individuals residing in Kenya.
The Data Protection Act, 2019, came into effect in November 2019.
