- Analytics providers — such as Google Analytics, which processes anonymised usage data
- Legal authorities — if required by Malaysian law or a lawful request
Any third party receiving data from us is required to handle it with appropriate care and not use it beyond the stated purpose.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal data for the following periods:

- Active service arrangement records — for the duration of the arrangement and up to 24 months after it ends
- Analytics data — in anonymised form, up to 26 months as per analytics provider defaults
After these periods, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
