Kenya: Court allows Safaricom subscribers to join a class action suit over alleged breach in private consumer data

The High Court has allowed millions of Safaricom subscribers to join a class action suit against the telecoms operator over a clause in the SIM card registration rules that allows the firm to collect bank details of mobile phone users. Clause 3.2.1 in the data privacy statement, which subscribers filled as part of the re-registration process, states that the telecoms operator can “collect and store information including credit or debit card information, information on bank account numbers, Swift codes or other banking information”.

High Court judge allowed two senior counsels to invite other subscribers to the class action suit through the press for Safaricom to delete the clause. The judge directed the lawyers to publish a notice in a daily newspaper, inviting Kenyans who may wish to join the suit.
