By providing the Personal Data requested by us, you consent to us using and disclosing your Personal Data as set forth in this Privacy Policy Statement and our Personal Information Collection Statement (if one has been provided to you).

This consent remains valid until you alter or revoke it by providing written notice to EVERLY HEALTH SDN BHD (contact details provided below).

Obligation 3 – Notification

When we collect Personal Data directly from you, we will inform you of the purpose of the collection, use or disclosure by reference to this Privacy Policy or through a Personal Information Collection Statement. We will only collect Personal Data by lawful and fair means. Personal Data is collected when you complete an insurance proposal form, make a claim under a contract of insurance with us, or when you use or visit our website and submit other information (including Personal Data) to us.

Some information is collected automatically when you visit our website because your IP address needs to be recognized by the server. We may use the IP address information to monitor and analyse how parts of our website are used.

We may use cookies for several purposes as set out in our website terms of use. Our cookies will track only your activity relating to your online activity on our website and will not track your other internet activity. Our cookies do not gather personally identifiable information. Please refer to our website terms of use for our policy on the use of cookies.

Obligation 4 – Access and Correction

Under the PDPA, you have the right (subject to certain exemptions) to request:

Access to some or all of your Personal Data in our possession; and
Information about the ways the Personal Data has been or may have been used or disclosed by us within a year before the date of your request.

Subject to certain exemptions under the PDPA, we will grant access to and correct Personal Data as requested by you. If we hold Personal Data about you and you are able to establish that the Personal Data is not accurate, complete and up to date, we will take reasonable steps to correct your Personal Data so that it is accurate, complete and up to date. We will provide reasons for any denial of access or a refusal to correct Personal Data.

Your request to access or correct Your Personal Data will be actioned as soon as reasonably possible from the time the access request is received. If we are unable to respond within 21 days, we will inform you in writing of the time in which we will be able to respond to your request.

We will take all practical steps to ensure that Personal Data we hold is protected against unauthorized or accidental access, processing, erasure or other use. We provide a highly secure online infrastructure for activities conducted via our website, including SSL (secure socket layer) encryption, IDS (intrusion detection system) and the use of firewalls and anti-virus software. We also adopt stringent security procedures with the use of user ID and passwords, time stamping and audit trails for all transactions, together with a dedicated internal transaction security policy. Our online infrastructure is closely monitored and maintained, with data backup and data recovery procedures and mechanisms.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any Personal Data you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us.

Obligation 7 – Retention

We will retain your Personal Data for only as long as necessary to serve the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and Personal Information Collection Statement in compliance with all statutory and regulatory requirements in Malaysia concerning the retention of Personal Data.
