Terms of Service

Terms for using the campaign platform (Cap. 411C aligned)

Last Updated: 9 August 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to the Nyabiosi Sydiney for MP 2027 Campaign Platform for Nyaribari Chache Constituency (the “Platform”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Platform, including constituent registration, agent tools, campaign communications, and related services operated by the Nyabiosi Sydiney Campaign (“we,” “our,” or “us”).

These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which is our privacy notice under the Data Protection Act, Cap. 411C (Kenya Law). If there is a conflict between these Terms and Cap. 411C regarding personal data, Cap. 411C prevails.

Important: By creating an account, registering a constituent, submitting consent, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

2. Acceptance and Eligibility

By using the Platform, you represent that:

  • You have read and agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy
  • You are at least 18 years of age (the Platform is intended for eligible voters; processing of children’s data is restricted under Cap. 411C section 33)
  • Where you register or manage data on behalf of another person, you are duly authorised to do so
  • Information you submit is accurate and not misleading
  • You will comply with Kenyan law, including Cap. 411C, applicable electoral laws, and these Terms

Acceptance of these Terms is not the same as consent to process personal data. Where Cap. 411C requires consent, we will obtain it separately through clear affirmative action (for example the informed consent form or channel-specific opt-ins).

3. Description of the Platform

The Platform may provide:

  • Constituent registration: Collection and management of constituent information for campaign engagement
  • Consent management: Recording informed consent for data processing and communications
  • Campaign communication: SMS, email, and WhatsApp messages only on channels you (or the data subject) have consented to
  • Segmentation and reporting: Organising data by ward/demographics and generating campaign analytics
  • Agent / admin tools: Registration of agents, messaging, and Platform administration

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features where reasonably necessary for operations, security, or legal compliance. Where a change materially affects how we process personal data, we will update the Privacy Policy and seek fresh consent where Cap. 411C requires.

4. Data Protection (Cap. 411C)

We process personal data as a data controller under Cap. 411C. Our practices are described in the Privacy Policy, including:

  • Principles in section 25 (lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, storage limitation, and cross-border restrictions)
  • Duty to notify under section 29
  • Lawful bases under section 30 and consent conditions under section 32
  • Rights of data subjects under sections 26, 34–36, 38, and 40
  • Security measures under sections 41–42 and breach notification under section 43
  • Rules on sensitive personal data (Part V) and transfers outside Kenya (Part VI)
  • Prohibition on commercial use of personal data without express consent or other lawful authority (section 37)

You may exercise Cap. 411C rights (access, objection, correction, erasure of false/misleading data, restriction, portability, withdrawal of consent, and related rights) as set out in the Privacy Policy. Complaints may be lodged with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.

Nothing in these Terms waives statutory rights under Cap. 411C or Article 31 of the Constitution.

5. Consent for Personal Data and Communications

Where processing relies on consent:

  • Consent must be express, free, specific, informed, and given by clear affirmative action
  • You may consent separately to data collection and to SMS, email, and/or WhatsApp
  • You may withdraw consent at any time; withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal
  • We will not make essential campaign participation conditional on consent to processing that is unnecessary for that participation (section 32(4))

Agents and administrators must not send campaign messages to a person on a channel for which that person has not given consent, and must not process personal data for purposes outside those disclosed in the Privacy Policy / consent materials.

6. Accounts, Agents, and Administrators

6.1 Account creation and accuracy

If you create or are issued an account, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information
  • Keep your information up to date
  • Keep login credentials confidential and use a strong password
  • Accept responsibility for activity under your account, except unauthorised use promptly reported to us
6.2 Duties when handling others’ personal data

If you are an agent, administrator, or other authorised user who collects or accesses constituents’ personal data, you must:

  • Collect data only as authorised and for specified campaign purposes
  • Obtain required consents and ensure data subjects are informed as required by Cap. 411C
  • Not disclose personal data outside authorised campaign use without a lawful basis
  • Keep access credentials secure and report suspected breaches without delay
  • Not use personal data for personal commercial gain (section 37)
6.3 Suspension or termination

We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, Cap. 411C, electoral laws, or misuse the Platform. Upon termination, access ceases; retention or deletion of personal data follows the Privacy Policy and Cap. 411C (including section 39).

7. Acceptable Use

You must not
  • Provide false or misleading information
  • Impersonate any person or entity
  • Collect or process personal data without authorisation or a lawful basis
  • Use data for unauthorised commercial purposes
  • Bypass security or attempt unauthorised access
  • Transmit malware or disrupt the Platform
  • Harass, abuse, or unlawfully discriminate
  • Violate Cap. 411C, electoral laws, or other applicable law
You may
  • Register accurate constituent or agent information
  • Manage consent and communication preferences lawfully
  • Access and update information you are authorised to manage
  • Exercise or facilitate Cap. 411C data-subject rights
  • Receive campaign communications on consented channels
  • Report security, privacy, or Platform issues
Serious violations may result in account termination, reporting to competent authorities (including the Data Commissioner where appropriate), and other legal remedies.

8. Electoral and Campaign Integrity

The Platform supports legitimate campaign engagement for Nyaribari Chache. You must not use it to manipulate voter registers, intimidate persons, spread unlawful falsehoods, buy or coerce support, or otherwise breach Kenya’s electoral laws or IEBC rules. Campaign messaging must respect consented communication channels and Cap. 411C.

9. Intellectual Property

Platform content, branding, software, and materials (excluding personal data belonging to data subjects) are owned by the Nyabiosi Sydiney Campaign or its licensors and protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Platform for authorised campaign purposes only. You may not copy, reverse engineer, commercially exploit, or remove proprietary notices without permission.

10. User-Submitted Information

When you submit registration data, consent records, feedback, or other materials, you grant us a non-exclusive licence to use that information solely for the campaign purposes described in the Privacy Policy and any applicable consent, and subject to Cap. 411C.

This licence does not transfer ownership of your personal data to us in a manner that overrides Cap. 411C rights. You warrant that you are authorised to submit the information and that it does not unlawfully infringe third-party rights.

11. Children

The Platform is intended for persons aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly process a child’s personal data except as permitted by Cap. 411C section 33 (parental/guardian consent and best interests). If you believe a child’s data has been submitted improperly, contact us promptly so we can delete or restrict it.

12. Disclaimers

12.1 Availability

We aim to keep the Platform available but do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or fully secure access at all times. Maintenance, outages, or events beyond our control may occur.

12.2 Accuracy

Users are responsible for the accuracy of information they submit. We take reasonable steps to keep Platform records accurate and up to date as required by Cap. 411C section 25(f).

12.3 Third-party processors

The Platform may rely on processors (SMS, email, WhatsApp, hosting, and similar). We select processors with appropriate safeguards (section 42) but are not responsible for all acts of third parties outside our reasonable control. Their processing remains subject to our instructions and Cap. 411C where applicable.

12.4 “As is”

Except for obligations that cannot be excluded under Kenyan law (including Cap. 411C), the Platform is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Kenyan law, and without limiting any rights or remedies under Cap. 411C, the Nyabiosi Sydiney Campaign and its officers, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits or goodwill, arising from use of or inability to use the Platform.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot be limited under applicable Kenyan law, including statutory duties owed as a data controller under Cap. 411C.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Nyabiosi Sydiney Campaign and its officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from: your misuse of the Platform; your violation of these Terms; your unlawful processing or disclosure of personal data; or your infringement of third-party rights — except to the extent caused by our breach of Cap. 411C or these Terms.

15. Termination and Data After Termination

We may suspend or end access immediately if you:

  • Violate these Terms or Cap. 411C
  • Engage in fraudulent, illegal, or abusive activity
  • Misuse personal data or the Platform
  • Request account closure

After termination, personal data is retained or deleted according to the Privacy Policy and Cap. 411C section 39 (and related rights under sections 34 and 40). Withdrawal of consent or a valid erasure request will be handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Kenya, including the Constitution, Cap. 411C, and applicable electoral laws.

Disputes relating to these Terms or the Platform are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Kenya, without prejudice to your right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner regarding personal data.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by:

  • Posting the updated Terms on the Platform
  • Updating the “Last Updated” date
  • Providing additional notice where appropriate

Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms for Platform use. New personal-data purposes that require consent under Cap. 411C will not rely on continued use alone; we will seek appropriate consent.

18. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. An invalid provision will be interpreted to best reflect the original intent to the extent permitted by law.

These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement between you and the Nyabiosi Sydiney Campaign regarding use of the Platform, and supersede prior conflicting understandings on that subject (without affecting any separate written agent/employment agreements, if any).
