ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY

The FSD Africa Online Privacy Policy (Version November 2023) outlines how Financial Sector Deepening Africa and FSD Africa (Investments) Limited collect, process, and store personal data from website users and consultants. The policy establishes compliance with the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019, and details the types of data collected, the legal bases for processing, and the rights of data subjects.

• FSD Africa acts as the data controller and is legally bound by the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019 (DPA) and its associated regulations, as the organization is established and operates in Kenya.
• The organization collects several categories of personal data, including Identity Data (names, date of birth, gender), Contact Data (email, telephone, postal address), Technical and Usage Data (IP addresses, browser types, clickstreams), Profile Data (passwords, preferences), and professional details such as career history and educational background.
• Personal data is collected through direct user input via website forms, event registrations, and the consultant database (ushauri.fsdafrica.org), as well as automatically through cookies and server logs, or from third-party sources like LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube.
• FSD Africa processes personal data based on the performance of a contract, legal obligations, or legitimate interests, though it requires explicit consent for marketing and commercial communications.
• The organization does not sell, rent, or lease user lists to third parties. Data may be shared with internal corporate group members (FSD Network) or external providers such as server providers, analytics providers, and legal authorities if required by law.
• Personal data is stored on secure servers located in the United Kingdom. For users in Europe, data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to countries that may not have the same level of protection.
• Under the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019, users have specific legal rights, including the right to access their data, object to processing, correct false data, and request the deletion of misleading information.
