The grounds listed for exemption from the provisions of the Act are: national security and public order concerns, lawful disclosure, prevention of crimes, apprehension or prosecution of an offender and assessment or collection of tax. Interestingly, the draft empowers the cabinet secretary to determine national security and public order concerns. (clause 47(3))<br><br></div><div class="m_8429986565706828426ydp510f6c6yiv9724171684gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Journalism, literature and the arts are also exempted from the principles of data protection. Where a publication is in public interest, the publisher is only required to comply with the relevant code of ethics. Processing and further processing for research, history and statistical purposes is also exempted from the principle of collecting data for a specified purpose. Although the proposed law gives a safeguard through the principle that data must eventually be destroyed, it does not give guidelines on time periods - it states that research data may not be kept indefinitely. Again, the CS is empowered to prescribe further instances when data may be exempted from provisions of the law (clause 50) <br><br></div><div class="m_8429986565706828426ydp510f6c6yiv9724171684gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Finally listers, there are general exemptions in clause 2 of the bill. The law will not apply to sharing of information among government departments/ public sector agencies or to processing by an individual for purely personal business (this is the personal phonebook exemption) <br><br></div><div class="m_8429986565706828426ydp510f6c6yiv9724171684gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Part of public reaction to this draft was that the bill gives with one hand and takes away with the other. Is this an exaggerated view and if so, how can this be cured in the draft? Are there other ways of dealing with the concerns raised in the exemptions (eg national security) without taking away data subject rights? Ultimately, should any data processor/controller be exempt from protecting data?<br></div><div class="m_8429986565706828426ydp510f6c6yiv9724171684gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Also, are there other useful exemptions that we are missing? <br><br></div><div class="m_8429986565706828426ydp510f6c6yiv9724171684gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Please share your thoughts on this issue and any other issue from the draft bill. <br><br clear="all"></div><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="m_8429986565706828426ydp510f6c6yiv9724171684gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Grace Mutung'u <br>Skype: gracebomu<br>@Bomu<br><span style="font-size:12.8px">PGP ID : 0x33A3450F</span><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>kictanet mailing list<br><a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a><br><a href="https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet</a><br>Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/kictanet" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/kictanet</a><br>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KICTANet/" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/KICTANet/</a><br>Domain Registration sponsored by <a href="http://www.eacdirectory.co.ke" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">www.eacdirectory.co.ke</a><br><br>Unsubscribe or change your options at <a href="https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/jwalu%40yahoo.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/jwalu%40yahoo.com</a><br><br>The Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) is a multi-stakeholder platform for people and institutions interested and involved in ICT policy and regulation.
