Malaysian Data Protection Act Compliance

We collect personal data in accordance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). All data collection is done with your explicit consent and for legitimate business purposes only. You have the right to know what information we collect and how it's used.

Automatic Data Collection

Our platform automatically collects certain information when you interact with our services. This includes system performance metrics, error logs, and usage analytics that help us improve the reliability of our financial data streaming infrastructure.

We also gather information about your interaction patterns with our machine learning models, including which algorithms you prefer, how you configure parameters, and the types of financial instruments you analyze most frequently.

How We Use Your Data

Your information serves multiple purposes in delivering our specialized financial streaming platform. We've designed our data usage practices to enhance your experience while maintaining strict privacy standards.

Service Delivery and Improvement

We use your data primarily to provide reliable access to streaming financial information and machine learning tools. This includes personalizing your dashboard, optimizing algorithm performance based on your preferences, and ensuring seamless data delivery during peak market hours.

Your usage patterns help us identify which features are most valuable and where we should focus development efforts. For instance, if many users in Malaysia are accessing specific market sectors, we might expand our data coverage in those areas.

Communication and Support

We use your contact information to send important platform updates, especially regarding data feed changes or system maintenance that might affect your analysis work. Our support team also uses this information to provide personalized assistance when you encounter technical issues.

Marketing Communications

We may send you information about new features, educational content about financial analysis, or relevant industry insights. You can opt out of these communications at any time through your account settings or by contacting us directly.

Research and Development

Aggregated, non-identifiable data helps us improve our machine learning algorithms and develop new analytical tools. This research helps us stay current with evolving financial markets and user needs, particularly in the Asian markets where our user base is growing.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We maintain strict controls over data sharing and only work with trusted partners who meet our privacy standards. Understanding who has access to your information is important for your peace of mind.

Financial Data Providers

To deliver real-time market information, we work with established financial data vendors. These partnerships are governed by strict data handling agreements that limit how your information can be used. Your personal details are never shared with these providers - only anonymized usage statistics that help them improve data quality.

Technology Service Providers

Our platform relies on cloud infrastructure providers for hosting and data processing. These companies are bound by comprehensive data processing agreements and are required to maintain the same security standards we follow. They cannot access your personal information except as necessary to provide technical services.

Legal Disclosures

We may be required to share your information with Malaysian regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies if legally compelled to do so. This might occur in cases involving financial crimes, money laundering investigations, or court orders. We will notify you of such disclosures unless prohibited by law.

Business Transfers

In the unlikely event that DeskTopMaxConnect is acquired or merges with another company, your data would be transferred as part of that transaction. You would be notified well in advance of any such change, and your privacy preferences would be honored by the new entity.

International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers are located outside Malaysia. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure adequate protection through standard contractual clauses and certification schemes that provide equivalent protection to Malaysian privacy laws.

Your Privacy Rights

You have significant control over your personal information. Malaysian privacy law grants you specific rights regarding how your data is collected, used, and stored.

Right to Access Request a complete copy of all personal information we hold about you, including how it was collected and how it's being used.
Right to Correction Ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information in our records.
Right to Deletion Request deletion of your personal data when it's no longer necessary for our services or if you withdraw consent.
Right to Restrict Processing Limit how we use your information while we address your concerns about accuracy or lawfulness.
Right to Data Portability Receive your data in a structured format that you can transfer to another service provider.
Right to Object Stop processing of your data for direct marketing purposes or when processing is based on legitimate interests.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information provided at the end of this policy. We'll respond to your request within 21 days as required by Malaysian law. For complex requests, we may extend this period by an additional 30 days with proper notification.

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests to protect your information from unauthorized access. This verification process typically involves confirming details from your account or providing additional documentation.

Complaint Process

If you're not satisfied with how we handle your privacy concerns, you can file a complaint with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Department or seek resolution through our internal escalation process. We're committed to addressing all privacy concerns promptly and fairly.

Data Security Measures

Protecting your information is fundamental to our operations. We've implemented comprehensive security measures that reflect the sensitive nature of financial data and the importance of maintaining user trust.

Technical Safeguards

All data transmissions use industry-standard TLS encryption, and sensitive information is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Our databases are protected by multiple layers of security, including network firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security monitoring.

We employ sophisticated access controls that ensure only authorized personnel can access user data, and even then, only when necessary for specific job functions. All access is logged and regularly audited to detect any unusual activity.

Organizational Security

Our team undergoes regular privacy and security training to stay current with best practices and emerging threats. We maintain strict policies governing data handling, and employees sign comprehensive confidentiality agreements.

Physical security measures protect our servers and backup systems, including restricted access areas, surveillance systems, and environmental controls that protect against both unauthorized access and natural disasters.

Incident Response

Despite our best efforts, security incidents can occur. We maintain a detailed incident response plan that includes immediate containment measures, forensic analysis, and user notification procedures. In the event of a data breach affecting your information, we'll notify you within 72 hours along with details about what happened and steps you should take.

Regular Security Assessments

We conduct quarterly security assessments and annual penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. Third-party security firms regularly evaluate our systems to ensure we maintain the highest standards of protection.

Our security measures are continuously updated to address new threats and incorporate improved technologies. This includes regular software updates, security patches, and infrastructure improvements designed to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.

Data Retention and Deletion

We don't keep your information indefinitely. Our retention policies balance your privacy rights with legitimate business needs and legal requirements.

Retention Periods

Account information is typically retained for the duration of your relationship with us plus two additional years to address any post-cancellation issues or legal requirements. Usage logs and analytics data are generally kept for 24 months to help us improve our services and identify long-term trends.

Support communications and related documentation are retained for three years to help us provide consistent service and resolve any recurring issues. Financial transaction records, where applicable, may be kept longer to comply with Malaysian financial regulations.

Automated Deletion

We've implemented automated systems that regularly review stored data and delete information that has exceeded its retention period. This ensures that old data doesn't accumulate unnecessarily and reduces the risk of unauthorized access to outdated information.

Account Deletion Process

When you close your account, most personal information is deleted within 30 days. Some information may be retained longer if required by law or to resolve disputes, but it will be marked for deletion and isolated from active systems. You can request confirmation of deletion completion through our support channels.

Backup and Archive Management

Information in backup systems follows the same retention schedules as primary data. Our backup rotation procedures ensure that deleted information is also removed from archived copies within reasonable timeframes, typically within 90 days of the primary deletion.
