Document background
The Data Protection Privacy Notice is a mandatory document required under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) for any organization that collects and processes personal data in commercial transactions. This document must be provided to data subjects before or at the time of collecting their personal data, explaining how their information will be handled. It serves as a crucial compliance tool that demonstrates transparency and accountability in data protection practices. The notice must be written in both Bahasa Malaysia and English when necessary, and should clearly communicate the organization's data processing activities, security measures, and the rights of data subjects. It's particularly important in light of increasing digital transactions and cross-border data flows, requiring regular updates to reflect changes in data processing activities or regulatory requirements.
