Document background
The Data Privacy Notice is a mandatory document required under the Malaysian Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) for organizations that process personal data in commercial transactions. It must be provided to data subjects before or at the time of collecting their personal data. The notice serves multiple purposes: ensuring compliance with Malaysian data protection laws, establishing transparency in data processing activities, and informing data subjects of their rights. Organizations must maintain and regularly update their Data Privacy Notice to reflect any changes in data processing activities or regulatory requirements. The document should be easily accessible, written in clear language, and available in both Bahasa Malaysia and English where necessary. It forms part of an organization's broader data protection framework and helps demonstrate compliance during regulatory inspections or audits.
