Dear Mokash.
Today you sent me a message regarding a loan that I am not a party or guarantor to and I do not know of.
I've not given you my personal data (phone number) nor permission to store it. You therefore commit an offense under Data Protection Act

@benliquidkenya @CBKKenya@ODPC_KE If it's the case, the app's way of accessing phone contacts is a whole other "data breach by design" issue and the regulator should look into these practices.
