How we collect, use, disclose and protect your personal data — in line with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010, as amended by the Personal Data Protection (Amendment) Act 2024.
This Privacy Notice is issued by AaroRn Technologies Sdn Bhd ("Aarorn", "we", "us", "our"), a company incorporated in Malaysia with its office at Suite 33-01-30, 203, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur. For the purposes of the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 ("PDPA"), as amended by the Personal Data Protection (Amendment) Act 2024, Aarorn is the data controller of the personal data described in this notice. (The 2024 amendment renamed "data user" to "data controller"; the two terms mean the same thing.)
This notice explains how we handle personal data collected through our website (aarorn.com), our enquiry and contact forms, our built-in AI assistant, email and telephone correspondence, and in the course of providing our products and services. It applies to prospective customers, customers, website visitors, job applicants and business contacts. Where we act as a data processor on behalf of a customer (for example, when hosting a sovereign AI deployment), the customer's own privacy notice governs that data and our handling is set out in the relevant services agreement.
We collect only the personal data we need for the purposes below. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include:
Providing personal data is voluntary. However, if you choose not to provide the data marked as required on a form, we may be unable to respond to your enquiry or provide the service you request.
We process personal data on the following bases: with your consent; where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you; where we have a legitimate interest in running and promoting our business (balanced against your rights); and where we are under a legal obligation. Specifically, we use personal data to:
Our website includes a built-in AI assistant. When you type a question into it, your message is sent to our AI service so it can generate a response, together with relevant content from our own website. We process these queries to answer you and to improve the assistant.
Please do not enter sensitive personal data or confidential information (such as identity-card numbers, financial details or health information) into the assistant. Conversations are not used to train artificial-intelligence models and are not retained for longer than 30 days, after which they are securely deleted or anonymised. If you would like a conversation deleted sooner, contact us using the details below.
We handle personal data in accordance with the seven Personal Data Protection Principles under the PDPA:
"Sensitive personal data" includes information about your physical or mental health, political opinions, religious beliefs, the commission of any offence, and — following the 2024 amendment — biometric data. We do not ordinarily collect sensitive personal data. Where we do, we will obtain your explicit consent first, unless the law otherwise permits.
We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with:
As a sovereign-AI provider, our preference and default is to keep Malaysian data in Malaysia. Where personal data is transferred outside Malaysia (for example, to a service provider hosted abroad), we do so in line with the amended cross-border transfer rules — that is, where the receiving jurisdiction has laws substantially similar to the PDPA or ensures an adequate level of protection, or where another legal ground under the PDPA applies. We will take reasonable steps to ensure your data remains protected to a comparable standard.
We do not collect personal data through this website unless you actively provide it to us — for example, by completing and submitting our contact form. Where you submit an enquiry through the contact form, we retain the information you provide as part of our records for audit-trail and accountability purposes. Any conversation you have with our AI assistant is not used to train artificial-intelligence models and is not retained for longer than 30 days, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.
We take practical technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration — including access controls, encryption in transit, and keeping our own AI infrastructure under our control wherever possible.
In line with the 2024 amendment, if a personal-data breach occurs that causes or is likely to cause significant harm, we will notify the Personal Data Protection Commissioner as soon as practicable, and where required will also notify affected individuals without undue delay.
Subject to the PDPA, you have the following rights over your personal data:
| Access | Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. |
|---|---|
| Correction | Ask us to correct data that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. |
| Withdraw consent | Withdraw consent to processing at any time, where processing is based on consent. |
| Limit processing | Ask us to limit the processing of your personal data for a specified purpose, such as direct marketing. |
| Data portability | Where technically feasible, ask us to transmit your personal data to another data controller — a new right introduced by the 2024 amendment. |
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in section 16. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and we will respond within the timeframe required by law.
