A digital credit lender has failed to overturn a Sh900,000 damages slapped on it for violating the right to privacy of three people listed by a loan defaulter as guarantors or emergency contacts.

High Court judge Joe Omido upheld the compensation of damages against Credit Watch Investment Limited, which was slapped on it by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) last December.
