Sharing and Disclosure
We share personal data with third parties only when necessary to deliver services or when required by law. Each disclosure is documented in our case file.
- Registries and official authorities: title searches, registrations and filings with land offices require disclosure of relevant property and party details.
- Service providers: escrow administrators, certified translators and IT hosting providers engaged to support a transaction or document management.
- Counterparties: other parties to a contract, their legal representatives and agents when necessary to execute an agreement or complete registration.
- Legal and regulatory bodies: disclosures made in response to lawful requests, court orders or statutory contribute.
- Consultants and advisers: third-party experts engaged with client consent to resolve specialized technical or valuation questions in a case.
- Aggregated or anonymized data: shared for research or to improve educational materials without identifying individuals.
International Transfers
In limited circumstances we may transfer data to service providers or parties outside Malaysia for processing tasks such as specialized searches or IT hosting. Transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards and documented contractual terms that reflect the sensitivity of the data.
Safeguards include standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements and access control measures. Transfers are assessed on a case-by-case basis with records kept in the case file.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the service, to meet professional and legal record-keeping requirements, and to resolve any outstanding matters arising from a case.
Account and client records related to active matters are retained for periods required by professional guidelines and regulatory standards, typically documented per matter and reviewed at regular intervals in 2026.
Communications and transactional messages tied to a case are kept for the duration of the matter and for a reasonable period afterward to ensure proper closure and auditability.
Technical logs and access records are retained for security monitoring and incident response for a defined operational period and then archived or deleted according to our data lifecycle procedures.
When personal data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize it. If legal obligations require longer retention, we will retain only the data necessary to satisfy those obligations and restrict access.
Security Measures
We implement administrative, technical and physical measures to protect personal data, proportionate to the sensitivity of documents handled in property matters. Security is implemented with case-level controls and regular reviews.
- Access controls and role-based permissions for staff handling client files and document repositories.
- Encrypted storage and secure file transfer mechanisms for client documents and title search results.
- Regular security audits, staff training and incident response procedures tied to client confidentiality obligations.

- Right to data portability where applicable, allowing you to receive personal data in a commonly used, machine-readable format when we process it by automated means and the legal basis permits.

How to exercise your privacy rights
To exercise any of the rights listed above, submit a written request to RumahMaxLaw using the contact details below or the online contact form at RumahMaxLaw.info/contact. Include your full name, Business ID (if applicable), a description of the documents or data you seek, and a copy of an identity document to verify your request. Where applicable, explain the scenario (for example: dispute over land title name, request to correct a tenant name on a tenancy agreement) so we can match records efficiently.

We aim to acknowledge receipt of your privacy rights request within 7 business days and provide a substantive response within 30 calendar days. Complex requests requiring third-party checks or legal review may take longer; in such cases we will inform you of the expected time and the reason for the delay.
Marketing communications
RumahMaxLaw uses contact details provided by clients and subscribers to send service updates, newsletters about property contract best practices, and invitations to workshops. Communications are tailored based on scenarios such as property sale, tenancy renewals, or title transfer procedures. Marketing materials are informational in nature and include practical case studies rather than predictive claims about outcomes.
You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in emails or by sending an opt-out request via the contact details below. Opting out will not affect transactional messages or communications necessary to perform contracted services.
Children and minors
RumahMaxLaw does not intentionally collect personal information from children under 18 for the purposes of providing legal services. If you believe we hold personal data about a minor, contact us with details and proof of parental or guardian authority to request access, correction, or deletion in line with applicable protections.
Third-party links and services
Our website and client portals may link to third-party services such as land registry portals, stamp duty calculators, or payment processors. These external services have their own privacy practices; RumahMaxLaw is not responsible for third-party data handling. In case studies on the site we sometimes reference external tools for illustration only and recommend reviewing their privacy policies before use.
Changes to this privacy policy
We review and update our privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, practice, or our services. The effective date below indicates the last update. Material changes that affect how we use personal information for core services such as contract preparation or title registration will be communicated through RumahMaxLaw.info and direct client notifications when relevant.
