The complainant alleged One Acre Fund infringed his right to privacy by sending him unwarranted messages and making unnecessary calls demanding repayment of a loan he never took. The matter was resolved between the parties and marked as closed. The Office noted that a certificate of registration is not proof of compliance with the Act, and that the respondent, registered only as a data controller, should also register as a data processor since it processes its clients' personal data.
Orders and outcome
The complaint was marked resolved and closed, with the right of appeal to the High Court of Kenya. Dated July 2023.
