Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 October 2026.

Identity and Role of the Data Controller

progifynu operates this informational website focused on course programming topics. We act as the data controller under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010. Our role involves determining the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through the site, including any interactions via the contact form on our Contacts page.

Scope of This Notice

This privacy notice applies to all visitors to the site, including individuals accessing course programming resources, blog articles, or submitting inquiries. It covers data processing activities carried out by progifynu regardless of whether the visitor is located in Malaysia or elsewhere, provided the processing relates to our Malaysian operations.

Categories of Personal Data and Sources

We collect personal data directly from visitors through forms, such as name, email address, and message content when using the contact form. Indirectly, we obtain technical data like IP addresses and browser information from device interactions. Blog comments, if enabled, may also provide user-supplied details. No data is purchased from third parties.

Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases

Data is processed to respond to inquiries submitted via the contact form, with consent or legitimate interest as the basis. For site analytics and improvement of course programming content, we rely on legitimate interests. Blog functionality uses consent for any user-generated contributions. Each purpose is limited to what is necessary for the non-commercial informational nature of the site.

Requirement to Provide Data and Consequences

Providing personal data is voluntary. However, failure to supply contact details prevents us from responding to messages sent through the Contacts page. Technical data is collected automatically upon site access; opting out via browser settings may limit functionality such as cookie-based preferences.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for essential operations and analytics. Details are explained in our separate Cookie Policy, which visitors should review alongside this notice. A site-wide cookie banner allows initial consent management.

Processors, Recipients and Legal Disclosures

Service providers such as hosting platforms and email delivery services act as processors under contract. Data may be disclosed to authorities when required by Malaysian law, including under the PDPA or for legal compliance. No sale of personal data occurs.

International Transfers

Some processors may be located outside Malaysia. Transfers occur only with appropriate safeguards, such as contractual clauses ensuring equivalent protection to the PDPA standards.

Retention Periods

Contact form data is retained for up to two years after the last interaction to handle follow-ups. Technical logs are kept for twelve months for security analysis. Blog-related data remains until the user requests removal or the post is deleted.

Security and Data Minimisation

Reasonable technical measures, including encryption in transit and access controls, protect stored data. We collect only the minimum information needed for each purpose and regularly review processing activities to avoid unnecessary retention.

Data Subject Rights

Visitors may request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of their personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us using the form on the Contacts page or by reaching [email protected]. Requests are handled within the timelines set by the PDPA.

Withdrawing Consent and Objecting to Marketing

Where processing relies on consent, it can be withdrawn at any time by notifying us through the contact methods above. Direct marketing is not conducted; any future newsletters would require separate opt-in. Objections to profiling can be raised similarly.

Right to Complain

Complaints regarding data handling may be submitted to the Personal Data Protection Commissioner of Malaysia. Contact details for the Commissioner are available on the official government portal. We encourage first contacting [email protected] to resolve issues internally.

Children and Age Restrictions

The site targets individuals interested in course programming and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. Parents or guardians should contact us if they believe a child has submitted information.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

No automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects occurs on this site. Simple analytics tools may track aggregate usage but do not create individual profiles for decision purposes.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this notice to reflect legal or operational changes. The effective date appears at the top. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
