1. Introduction
Sundial House (referred to in this policy as "we," "us," or "our") is a financial education practice operating at No. 23, Jalan Gasing Indah, Gasing Garden Court, 46000 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. We take the privacy of anyone who contacts us or engages our programmes seriously.
This policy describes what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and what your rights are under Malaysian law — in particular, the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). If you have questions about anything in this policy, please write to us at privacy@{{DOMAIN}}.
2. Data We Collect
We collect only the personal data that is necessary to respond to enquiries, confirm programme agreements, and deliver our services. This may include:
- Your name and contact details (email address, phone number) provided through our enquiry form or by direct communication
- Correspondence between you and our facilitators, including emails and written session notes
- Financial documents you share with us in the course of a programme — treated under separate confidentiality terms as described in your programme agreement
- Technical data collected automatically when you visit our website (browser type, pages visited, time on site) via cookies — see our Cookie Policy
We do not collect sensitive personal data beyond what is shared in the context of a programme, and we do not request data that is not relevant to the engagement.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data on the following bases under the PDPA 2010:
- Consent — when you submit an enquiry form or agree to commence a programme, you consent to us holding and using your contact details to fulfil that enquiry or programme
- Contract performance — where processing is necessary to carry out a signed programme agreement
- Legitimate interest — for website analytics and service improvement, where our interest does not override your privacy rights
4. How We Use Your Data
- To respond to your enquiry and schedule an introductory conversation
- To confirm, administer, and deliver your programme
- To send written programme materials and deliverables to you
- To contact you regarding your programme or a follow-up annual review session (if you have completed the Household Picture Engagement)
- To understand how visitors use our website and improve our content
We do not use your data for marketing communications without your explicit consent, and we do not share your data with financial product providers, insurance companies, or any third party for commercial purposes.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary:
- Enquiry records not resulting in a programme: up to 12 months from the date of the last contact
- Programme participant records: up to 7 years from the completion of the programme, to comply with applicable record-keeping obligations
- Financial documents shared during sessions: as specified in your programme agreement; not retained beyond the scope of the engagement without explicit consent
- Website analytics data: anonymised after 26 months
6. Data Protection Measures
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal data we hold:
- Electronic records are stored on password-protected systems with restricted access
- Physical documents are stored securely and not accessible to unauthorised persons
- Facilitators are bound by written confidentiality agreements
- In the event of a data breach likely to affect your rights, we will notify you within a reasonable time as required by law
