Here are my initial comments quick comments to the draft policy brief on data protection in Kenya, will add more as i read through more critically

Personal Data

Magnify the scope of definition of the word: “Personal Data”, currently it seems quite undetaled

‘personal data’ should be defined to mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (Web data such as location, IP address, cookie data and RFID tags) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

On Anonymous data:

Talk more about

“pseudonymisation’ as a means to process personal data in such a way and manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person;

Dear Listers

Greetings.

In the last two decades, Kenya mobile communications and internet
connectivity have rapidly increased. With these developments, the
country has also developed a data economy. The data economy is the
wealth and resources created from collection and processing of data.
It is the cornerstone of the fourth industrial revolution which uses
digital technologies to carry out processes, be they physical,
digital, or biological. A key feature of the revolution is data-driven
decision making, creation of new products, services and innovation.?

A team of KICTANet listers have been working to produce a draft policy
brief on Data Protection in Kenya which I attach.? We would
appreciate your comments on it as it is still being reviewed. We will
be receiving comments in the next two weeks (until May 25, 2018).

Thanks alot good people.?


Best regards


Githaiga, Grace
