The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner and NOCK enacted Kenya’s first Sports Data Privacy Policy on May 30, 2025—governing athlete biometrics, performance, and health data. It mandates consent, limits third-party sharing, and requires breach reporting within 72 hours. Your data is yours—even when you’re flying down the track, said ODPC Commissioner Immaculate Kassait. All federations must appoint Data Officers by 2026. Athletes can request data deletion post-retirement. FIFA praised Kenya as a privacy pioneer in sport.
