Kenyan loan company, WhitePath Company Limited and workspace provider Regus Kenya are feeling the heat for not playing by the data protection rules, Techweez reports.
Each company has been slapped with a hefty penalty of Ksh5 million as per the Data Protection Act and Complaints Handling Procedure and Enforcement Regulations.
It turns out that WhitePath has been receiving a barrage of complaints, with close to 150 users claiming that their applications have been accessing their phone contacts without permission and bombarding them with unwanted text messages.
Regus Kenya was accused of spamming improper information to a complainant despite attempts to make them stop.
