Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 October 2026

Identity and Role of the Data Controller

skillmindvo operates this non-commercial informational website focused on Course Programming. We act as the data controller under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and determine the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through the site.

Scope of This Notice

This privacy policy applies to all visitors to the website, including individuals accessing course-related information, the contact form, or any blog content. It covers data processing activities conducted from Malaysia and explains how we handle information from users worldwide who interact with our resources.

Categories of Personal Data Collected

We obtain personal data directly from you when you use the contact form or interact with site features. Categories include contact details such as name and email address submitted voluntarily, technical information like IP address and browser type collected automatically, and any messages or feedback provided. No data is sourced from third parties without your knowledge.

Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing

Personal data is processed for responding to enquiries submitted via the contact form under the legal basis of legitimate interest and consent. Site analytics and improvement rely on legitimate interest. Blog engagement metrics are processed to enhance content relevance, again under legitimate interest. Each purpose is limited to what is necessary for operating the informational platform.

Requirement to Provide Data

Providing personal data through the contact form is entirely optional. Refusing to supply information means we cannot respond to your query, but you may still browse all publicly available course programming content without any data submission.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The site uses essential cookies for basic functionality and performance cookies to understand visitor behaviour. A site-wide cookie banner allows you to manage preferences. For full details please refer to our separate Cookie Policy which is accessible from the footer.

Processors, Recipients and Legal Disclosures

We engage service providers such as hosting companies and email delivery services that act as processors under strict contractual safeguards. Personal data may be disclosed if required by Malaysian law or to protect our rights in legal proceedings.

International Transfers

Some processors may be located outside Malaysia. In such cases we rely on contractual clauses and ensure adequate protection measures consistent with PDPA requirements before any transfer occurs.

Data Retention

Contact form data is retained for up to two years to handle follow-up enquiries. Technical logs are kept for twelve months. Blog interaction data is anonymised after eighteen months unless you request earlier deletion.

Security and Data Minimisation

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are implemented to protect personal data against unauthorised access. Data collection is limited to what is strictly required for each stated purpose.

Your Data Subject Rights

Under the PDPA you have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data. You may also object to certain processing activities. To exercise these rights please contact us using the details on our Contacts page.

Right to Withdraw Consent and Object to Marketing

Where processing relies on consent you may withdraw it at any time by notifying [email protected]. We do not conduct direct marketing or profiling on this informational site.

Right to Complain

If you believe your data has been handled improperly you may lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Commission of Malaysia at their official contact channels.

Children and Age Restrictions

The website content is intended for individuals aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors under 18 years of age.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

No automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or significant effects is carried out on this website.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy periodically. The last updated date appears at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
