For: Digital health teams | Data protection and privacy | Last reviewed 23 July 2026

**Answer:** No. Tymira360 can support good practice with tools such as role-based access, consent records and audit trails, but compliance also depends on clinic policies, staff behaviour, supplier contracts, local laws, clinical governance and ongoing review. In Kenya, health data is sensitive personal data under the Data Protection Act 2019, and clinics remain responsible for how they collect, use and share it.

### Compliance is shared work

Software provides the controls. How your clinic uses them makes the difference. This is general information, not legal advice.

- Keep written privacy and consent policies up to date.
- Train staff on how to handle patient information.
- Review contracts with suppliers and partners.
- Review access and audit logs regularly.
