Data protection and privacy policy consulting
We will hold your hand through the entire development, launch and operational stages of your online platform, to help you understand what laws apply to the services you provide online, regardless of whether it’s a marketplace, direct retailer or any other format of online operation. We can draft the website policies and terms you will need to develop, launch and run lawfully in Kenya.
Where necessary, we can also engage regulators on your behalf to gain a better understanding on new and developing areas of the law that your platform may be operating in. We will ensure that your platform is legal from inception to operation, with legal assistance offered all the way along your journey.
What can we offer you?
