At Riziki Source, data protection is a fundamental responsibility and an essential part of how we serve job seekers, employers, and partners. Because our work involves handling personal information, including sensitive data relating to persons with disabilities, we are deeply committed to protecting the privacy, dignity, and rights of everyone we engage with.
Our Legal and Ethical Commitment
In line with the Kenya Data Protection Act, Riziki Source is committed to processing personal data in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner. The Act provides clear guidance on how organizations should collect, use, store, and safeguard personal data, while ensuring that the rights of individuals are respected.
Accordingly, we ensure that personal data is collected for clear and legitimate purposes and is only used in ways that align with those purposes. Moreover, we are deliberate about collecting only information that is relevant and necessary for our programmes and services.
Purposeful and Responsible Data Collection
As part of our work in employment linkage, job matching, training, and advocacy, Riziki Source collects personal data to enable effective service delivery. However, this is done with great care. We prioritize informed consent and ensure that individuals understand why their data is being collected and how it will be used.
Furthermore, we recognize that disability-related information requires additional sensitivity. For this reason, such data is handled with heightened confidentiality and respect, ensuring that it is never used in a way that compromises the dignity of the individual.
Safeguarding Data and Protecting Our Clients
To protect all data entrusted to us, Riziki Source has put in place appropriate organizational and technical measures. These measures are designed to prevent unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure of personal information. In the event we need to use images or information from our client, a consent form has to be willingly filled to help us use information within the concepts of the law.
In addition, access to data is limited strictly to authorized staff, and internal systems are regularly reviewed to ensure continued compliance with data protection standards. Where partnerships require data sharing, this is done carefully and guided by clear agreements that uphold data protection obligations.
Respecting the Rights of Individuals
Equally important, Riziki Source recognizes and respects the rights of all individuals whose data we process. We are committed to ensuring that people are informed about the use of their data and are able to request access, correction, or removal of their personal information where appropriate and lawful.
As a result, we have established internal processes to respond to such requests in a timely, respectful, and accountable manner.
Continuous Improvement and Accountability
As our programs grow and digital tools continue to evolve, Riziki Source remains committed to strengthening its data protection practices. We view data protection not as a one-time obligation, but as an ongoing process that requires learning, accountability, and improvement.
Ultimately, by prioritizing data protection, Riziki Source aims to build trust, protect all clients, and uphold ethical and inclusive practices in everything we do.
At Riziki Source, protecting your data means protecting your dignity, rights, and opportunities.
