Odoo founder, Fabien Pinckaers, has strongly denied recent claims circulating on Kenyan social media that the company collects and resells user data without consent. These accusations gained traction rapidly, prompting a direct response from the global open-source ERP provider's leadership.

• Fabien Pinckaers emphasized, "Odoo will never sell data (and never did). We value privacy, we’re GDPR compliant, and we sell subscriptions, not data."
• The accusations originated from Kenyan social media user Nyandia Gachago.
• Odoo ensures compliance with GDPR in Europe and the Data Protection Act 2019 in Kenya, and also offers an on-premises hosting option allowing businesses to host data on their own servers, preventing Odoo from accessing it.
