Purposes of Collection, Use, and Disclosure

Under the Notice and Choice Principle (Section 7, PDPA 2010), I am required to inform you of the purposes for which your personal data is collected, used, and disclosed. These purposes are:

• to respond to your inquiries and communications;
• to provide the professional services you have requested, including architectural consultancy, AI training programmes, speaking engagements, advisory services, masterclasses, and related professional services;

I will not use your personal data for purposes materially different from those stated above without first obtaining your fresh consent, unless permitted or required by law. You have the right to limit or withdraw consent to the use of your personal data for purposes beyond those directly necessary to provide the service you requested, including direct marketing. To do so, contact me at the details in Section 02.

Disclosure to Third Parties

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. I may disclose personal data to the following categories of recipients only:

• Service providers engaged to perform functions on my behalf, including my event registration platform (Luma), newsletter platform, website hosting provider, email service provider, and analytics provider. These parties are required to process personal data solely for the purposes I specify;
• Professional advisors, including legal and accounting advisors, where reasonably required; and
• Public authorities and regulators, including the Jabatan Perlindungan Data Peribadi (JPDP) or other relevant Malaysian authorities, where required by law, court order, or lawful request.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some of my service providers are based outside Malaysia. Where personal data is transferred outside Malaysia, I take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient provides an equivalent level of protection, consistent with the requirements of the PDPA 2010 and the Personal Data Protection (Amendment) Act 2024. This may include confirming that the recipient country has substantially similar data protection laws in force, or that appropriate contractual safeguards are in place.

Retention of Personal Data

I retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Specifically:

• inquiry and contact form submissions are retained for up to 24 months from the date of receipt;
• training and event registration data is retained for up to 5 years, consistent with professional record-keeping obligations;
• newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion; and
• technical and analytics data is retained in accordance with the relevant service provider's standard retention periods.

When personal data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

Your Rights under the PDPA 2010

Under the PDPA 2010 (as amended), you have the following rights:

• Right of Access (Section 30). You may request access to the personal data I hold about you and information on how it has been used or disclosed;
• Right of Correction (Section 34). You may request correction of personal data that is inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or not up to date;
