The study assessed availability and scope of privacy policies in licensed mobile loan applications operating in Kenya using a descriptive study design. All the 32 licensed mobile loan applications were selected for the study. The study findings revealed that only 13 (40.6%) of the mobile applications had privacy policies. Further analysis of the 13 discovered privacy policies reviewed revealed that only 5 (38.4%) of the policies stated the type of personal information collected; 3 (23%) gave the rationale for collecting the stated personal information; 10 (77%) gave information concerning sharing of the collected personal information with third parties and 7 (53.8%) communicated the measures taken to protect the privacy of the collected personal information.
