Privacy Policy az8 — Data Protection and User Privacy in Malaysia

Az8 takes your privacy seriously. This document transparently explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information every time you use the az8 platform.

Six Pillars Data Protection az8

The az8 Privacy Policy is built on six core principles that ensure your personal information is always in safe hands and used in the way you expect.

High-Grade Data Encryption

All your personal data and financial information is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. This means your data is fully encrypted during transmission and storage, on par with the standards used by Malaysia's leading banks.

No Sale of Data to Third Parties

Az8 has never and will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. Your data belongs to you, and we fully respect that right.

Data Control in Your Hands

Az8 gives you full control over your personal data. You may request to view, update, transfer, or delete your data at any time through your account settings or by contacting our team.

Minimum Data Collection

Az8 only collects data that is genuinely necessary to provide the services you use. We do not collect excessive or irrelevant data, and every piece of data collected has a clear and legitimate purpose.

Specific Retention Periods

Az8 maintains a transparent data retention policy. Your information is only kept for as long as necessary to fulfil the stated purposes or as required by law. After that period, data is securely deleted.

Data Protection Act Compliance

Az8 operates in full compliance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and relevant international data protection regulations. This compliance is not merely a legal obligation — it is our moral responsibility.

Simple Summary

Az8 respects your privacy. We collect only the data we need, protect it with high-grade encryption, never sell it to anyone, and you always have the right to control your own personal data. Read this document to fully understand how we handle your information.
