14. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING
Where Kenyan data-protection law applies, personal information may be processed on an appropriate lawful basis.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

- Performance of a contract or steps requested before entering into a contract;
- Protection of vital interests;
- Performance of a task carried out in the public interest; or

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
Security measures may include appropriate access controls, website security measures, technical monitoring, backups and other safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information being processed.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Therefore, while we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or through our website.
17. DATA TRANSFERS
Some service providers used in operating a modern website may process or store information outside Kenya.
Where personal information is transferred outside Kenya, we will seek to comply with applicable Kenyan data-protection requirements and use appropriate safeguards where required.
The safeguards may depend on the nature of the information, the service provider and the legal requirements applicable to the transfer.

20. CHILDREN AND YOUNG USERS
Our website publishes general news and information intended for a broad audience.
We do not knowingly request unnecessary personal information from children.
Where a child provides personal information to us, a parent, guardian or other person with appropriate legal authority may contact us if they believe the information should be reviewed, corrected or removed, subject to applicable law.
Nothing in this section limits lawful journalistic or public-interest processing where permitted under applicable law.
21. PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION
News reporting may involve information that is already publicly available through official records, public statements, court proceedings, government communications, public events or other lawful public sources.
The existence of publicly available information does not mean that all information about an individual will be collected, used or republished without regard to applicable privacy and data-protection requirements.
Blessed Media 001 seeks to balance privacy considerations with legitimate editorial, journalistic and public-interest purposes.
22. INFORMATION ABOUT THIRD PARTIES
If you provide us with information about another person, you should ensure that you are legally permitted to provide that information.
For example, you should not submit another person's private information merely because you have access to it.
Where appropriate, we may request additional information to establish the circumstances surrounding information submitted to us.
23. INFORMATION ACCURACY
We take reasonable steps to ensure that information used for administrative purposes is accurate and appropriate.
If you believe that personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, you may contact us and request correction.
