Online privacy is the level of personal data protection you have while connected to the internet.
Online privacy matters because it gives you control over your identity and personal data.
Common issues include:
• Theft, where cybercriminals use malware or phishing techniques to steal your personal data
• Extensive retention, where your personal data may not be deleted by websites and social media apps
We need to avoid the following:
• Using the same passwords for all online accounts
• Oversharing personal data on social media
• Opening suspicious files or downloading malicious files
You can adopt the following best practices:
• Update the privacy settings on your apps and devices
• Minimise personal data you share online
• Secure your devices and browsers
Top concerns for parents include:
• Oversharing
• Phishing
• Fake apps
Here are some topics you can discuss with your children:
• What you post online is not always private – be careful who you share with
• Your data may be online forever – you may regret them someday
• Protect your friend’s privacy – their data is as valuable as yours
You can adopt the following best practices:
• Start the conversation early – it’s never too early to teach about online privacy
• Monitor their browsing activities – remove suspicious files
• Do it together – from securing devices to sweeping through apps
Top concerns for older adults include:
• Theft, where cybercriminals use malware or phishing techniques to steal their personal data
• Fraud & impersonation, where fraudsters may use their personal data for fraudulent transactions
Here are some examples of what you can do:
• Host a sharing session at your local community centre
• Secure apps and devices together during family gatherings
PDPA applies when:
• The organisation is established in Malaysia; or
• The organisation processes personal data in Malaysia; and
• The organisation processes personal data for commercial transaction
Organisations need to ensure:
• There is a valid contract between both parties
• The partners have taken appropriate measures to safeguard your personal data, and
• The partners are monitored or audited on a periodic basis
Organisations should have an incident or breach response plan which includes:
• An escalation path to report incidents
• Assessing the severity of the incident
• Remediating the incident
• Notifying relevant parties about the incident, and
• Documenting the incident
