Where personal data is transferred outside Malaysia, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect that data. Such safeguards include contractual clauses requiring the recipient to protect the data to standards comparable to those applied within Malaysia, and selecting service providers in jurisdictions that maintain adequate data protection frameworks.
