Complaints Policy

Last updated:

We take every complaint seriously. If something has fallen short of your expectations, we want to hear about it — and put it right. This policy explains how to raise a complaint, what you can expect from us, and how to escalate if you are not satisfied.

1. Our Commitment

Black Knights (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is an AI-focused technology company based in Gigiri, Nairobi, Kenya. We are committed to delivering excellent service — and when we get something wrong, to handling it openly, fairly, and quickly.

We treat complaints as valuable feedback. Every complaint is an opportunity to put things right for you and to improve how we work. You will never be treated unfavourably for making a complaint.

2. What Is a Complaint

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction — whether justified or not — about our services, our people, our conduct, or the way we have handled your data, where you would like a response or resolution. This might relate to, for example:

  • The quality, delivery, or timeliness of our services
  • The conduct or communication of a member of our team
  • How we have handled your personal data or a data subject request
  • Billing, invoicing, or contractual matters
  • Accessibility or the support we have (or have not) provided

If you simply have a question or want to give general feedback, you are welcome to contact us in the same way — you do not need to frame it as a formal complaint.

3. How to Make a Complaint

You can raise a complaint through any of the following channels:

By email

Email hello@blackknights.co.ke with the subject line “Complaint”. This is the fastest way to reach us.

By phone

Call us on +254 725 462 859 during business hours and ask to raise a complaint.

By post

Write to us at Black Knights, Gigiri, Nairobi, Kenya, marking your letter 'Complaint'.

If you need support to make a complaint, or a different format to communicate with us, please tell us — see our Vulnerable Customers Policy.

4. What to Include

To help us investigate quickly and thoroughly, please include where possible:

  • Your name and the best way to reach you
  • A clear description of what happened, including relevant dates
  • The names of any team members involved, if known
  • Copies of any relevant correspondence or documents
  • What outcome you are hoping for

5. Our Complaints Process

Step 1 — Acknowledgement

We will acknowledge your complaint in writing within 5 business days of receiving it, confirming who is handling it and what happens next.

Step 2 — Investigation

A member of our team who was not directly involved in the matter, where practical, will investigate fairly and impartially. We may contact you for further information to make sure we fully understand your concerns.

Step 3 — Resolution and final response

We aim to provide a full written response within 30 calendar days of receiving your complaint. Our response will explain our findings, any action we will take, and your options if you remain dissatisfied.

If a complaint is particularly complex and we need more time, we will tell you why and keep you updated on our progress and expected timescale.

6. If You Are Not Satisfied

If you are unhappy with our response, please tell us within 30 days and explain why. We will arrange for a senior member of our team to review your complaint afresh and provide a final review outcome. We will aim to complete this review within a further 20 business days.

7. External Escalation

If we are unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you may be able to refer it to an independent body, depending on the nature of the complaint:

  • For complaints about how we have handled your personal data, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) in Kenya, or — for individuals in the United Kingdom — the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
  • For other disputes, you may pursue any rights available to you under your contract with us or under applicable law, including the dispute resolution mechanisms set out in our Terms & Conditions

Raising a complaint with us does not affect any legal rights you may have.

8. Confidentiality and Data Protection

We handle all complaints confidentially and share information only with those who need it to investigate and resolve the matter. Any personal data you provide as part of a complaint is processed in line with our Data Protection Policy and Privacy Policy.

9. Recording and Monitoring

We keep a record of all complaints and their outcomes for a reasonable period. We review complaints regularly to identify trends, address root causes, and improve our services. This policy is reviewed at least annually.
