Hello, I'm Margaret,
I founded DataHub to solve a problem I kept encountering: how do you stay current with data protection enforcement across an entire continent? Today, DataHub serves over 900 active users - legal professionals, DPOs, and policymakers - across 39 African jurisdictions with structured updates, analysis, and the continent's most comprehensive research archive for data protection.
But building DataHub revealed something crucial: enforcement patterns tell the real story of compliance. Every ODPC determination, every High Court ruling, every regulatory action contains lessons that cannot be found in the statute alone. That's why I wrote **Case Digest - Interpretation & Application of the Data Protection Act, 2019 in Kenya.**
This book represents two years of analyzing Kenya's data protection enforcement, 59 cases spanning digital lending, image rights, CRB disclosures, biometric data, and children's privacy. It's the kind of resource I wished existed when I started: comprehensive, thematic, and practical.
Every case cross-referenced with DPA sections. Every principle mapped to real-world application. Every compliance lesson decoded. My background spans advisory, operations, and executive roles, and I've seen too many organizations learn compliance the hard way, through enforcement action. This book ensures you do not have to.
