In Kenya, cyber cafes are set to become data collectors, or face fines, under new regulations from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK). Effective from August 14, cafe operators will be required to register each customer who visits their premises and maintain detailed session logs for a period of three years. The regulation aims to fill an identity gap by mandating the recording of a customer’s name, ID number, and the exact times they were online.
This comes as cyber cafes in Kenya play a vital role as digital service hubs, with at least 300 cafes operating in the country.
