Dear Listers, 

GDPR, the implications that could be associated, it requires a lot of change in handling of personal data and being able the option to any of the users delete their data especially when deal with a company or an individual European Union. Further if there is non compliance the fines are at a starting of €20m plus.

Thanks

I agree with Eng. Kariuki , the implications of GDPR are immense. The discussions ought to match the gravity of the impact of GDPR. E.g. What do we, as Kenya, have to do not to be negatively affected by the European regulations.? 

I know we don’t have privacy and personal data protection legislation.

Barrak,


Could you have a copy of the paper by Juliet Wangui on how GDPR will affect African countries? Could you recirculate it?


Kind Regards,

Hi bwana Kariuki,

The GDPR conversation has been going on on this list for a couple of
months. If you check the archives, you will even find a paper by
Juliet Wangui on how GDPR will affect African countries. I am also
happy to note that companies such as Kenya Airways and Elewana
collections have taken steps to comply with GDPR requirements such as
appointment of Data Protection officers and revision of their privacy
policies. I am sure there are many others that might have done so
without much fanfare.

Regards
