Mobile phone reseller Oppo Kenya is the first casualty of the recently enacted privacy laws after it was fined Sh5 million by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC), the maximum allowable penalty, for “infringement on the privacy of a complainant”.
In a penalty notice issued on Wednesday, Data Commissioner Immaculate Kassait said the company had defaulted on compliance with an enforcement notice issued against it on November 3.
