Document background
The Privacy Notice Statement is a fundamental document required under Malaysian law for any organization that collects and processes personal data in commercial transactions. This document is mandated by the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and must be provided to individuals at the point of collecting their personal data. It serves as a transparent declaration of how an organization handles personal information, including collection purposes, processing methods, disclosure practices, and security measures. The notice must address the PDPA's seven principles and should be updated regularly to reflect any changes in data handling practices or legal requirements. In Malaysia's multicultural context, organizations often need to provide this notice in multiple languages to ensure effective communication with all data subjects.
