Trust & Data Protection
Protecting your data
is part of how we build.
Daakye Digital designs, builds, and operates technology and fintech solutions for businesses across West Africa and beyond. Because that work involves handling personal data, we take our data protection obligations seriously — not as a compliance checkbox, but as a condition of earning and keeping the trust of the customers, partners, and enterprises we serve.

What this means for you
Our commitment in practice
Registering with the DPC is one part of a broader commitment. Here is what it means in practice for anyone whose personal data we handle.
Responsible handling of personal data
We process personal data for specific, disclosed purposes related to our services — primarily commercial engagement with customers, subscribers, and users — and not for unrelated purposes.
Privacy
We recognise that personal data belongs to the individual it describes. Our processing practices are built around the privacy principles set out in Act 843, including lawfulness, purpose limitation, and data minimisation.
Security
We apply access controls and internal safeguards designed to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, loss, or misuse of personal data, and we review these measures as our business grows.
Accountability
As a registered Data Controller, Daakye Digital is answerable to the DPC for how we process personal data, and we maintain internal documentation and practices to demonstrate that accountability.
Compliance
Our data handling practices are designed with reference to the requirements of the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843), and we monitor our obligations as our operations evolve, including ahead of our 2028 registration renewal.
Privacy principles
Eight principles that guide our data practices
Our approach is guided by the privacy principles set out in Section 17 of the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843), alongside internal good practice.
Accountability
We take ownership of how personal data is collected, used, and protected, and we are answerable to the DPC for our compliance.
Lawfulness of processing
We only process personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so, such as consent or a legitimate business purpose.
Specification of purpose
We collect personal data for clearly defined, disclosed purposes — such as commercial engagement with our customers — rather than open-ended or undisclosed uses.
Data minimisation
We aim to collect only the personal data that is necessary, relevant, and not excessive for the purpose at hand.
Quality of information
We take reasonable steps to keep the personal data we hold accurate, complete, and up to date.
Data security safeguards
We apply technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal data against loss, unauthorised access, or misuse.
Data subject participation
We recognise that individuals have rights over their own personal data, including rights of access and correction, and we aim to make those rights accessible.
Continuous improvement
Data protection is not a one-time exercise. We periodically review our practices as our services, technology, and regulatory obligations evolve.
How we protect data
Organisational and technical safeguards
We apply a combination of organisational and technical measures to protect the personal data in our care. In line with good security practice, we do not publish granular technical detail about our security architecture, but at a high level our approach includes the following.
Access controls
Systems that hold personal data are password-protected, and access is governed by role-based access control, so that individuals can only access the data necessary for their role.
Internal policies and procedures
We maintain internal Standard Operating Procedures, User Acceptance Policies, and Data Protection Policies that govern how personal data is collected, used, stored, and shared within our organisation.
Staff training
Our team receives training on data protection responsibilities relevant to their roles.
Ongoing review
We treat data protection as an evolving responsibility and revisit our safeguards as our organisation and the regulatory landscape change.
