Privacy Notice (PDPA)
Version 0.3 (2026-07-31).
This notice explains how Kiyo Tech Engineering (Business Registration No. 002351051-P) of 109, Jalan BRP 7/3A, Bukit Rahman Putra, 47000 Sungai Buloh, Selangor ("we", "us", the Operator) processes personal data through Property Passport (the "Service"), where anyone may register an account and access to each property record is by invitation only. The Service currently has no public advertising surface.
1. Data we collect
- Account data: name, email, role, password authentication data, and contact
number. Contact numbers are normalised to digits only with the country code.
- Identity-match data: IC or company number. It is stored as a one-way hash for
exact-match checks, and the number itself is also kept so that administrators can read it in full. Other users never see it; your own account page shows only its first six characters. Numbers entered before 11 August 2026 were hashed only and cannot be recovered. Closing your account deletes the stored number.
- Invitation and membership data: invited email, sender, decision, membership,
role, revocation, and related timestamps.
- Property and tenancy data: addresses, ownership and tenancy details, rent
reminder settings, media, floor plans, and uploaded title or tax documents.
- Notification data: membership changes, invitation decisions, account closures,
rent payment reminders, tenancy renewal reminders, delivery state, and opt-outs.
- Audit and closure data: security and activity logs, closure status, dates, and
the name/email snapshot retained to explain a closure event.
- Technical data: logs, browser and device information, and diagnostics needed
to operate and secure the Service.
We receive data from users, invited participants, and activity within the Service. If you provide another person's data, you must have authority and a lawful purpose.
2. Why we process data
We process data to register and authenticate accounts; address and decide invitations; manage property memberships; provide private property and tenancy workspaces; apply role-based access; send operational notifications and reminders; support account closure; preserve traceability; prevent fraud and misuse; investigate incidents; and comply with legal obligations.
Daily automated jobs process rent-payment and tenancy-renewal reminders. Each tenancy has opt-out controls for these reminder types.
3. Access and disclosure
We disclose data only as needed to operate the Service, including to our hosting, authentication, email, and infrastructure providers acting on our instructions, admins who operate the Service, joined property members within their permitted scope, professional advisers, and public authorities where lawfully required.
Personal data may be transferred to a successor operator as part of a sale, transfer, licence, rental, or reorganisation of the business, subject to Malaysian law (PDPA) safeguards and notice. From the transfer date the successor becomes the data user for that personal data and is responsible for it and for all obligations under the PDPA, and we cease to be responsible for it.
Admins have oversight access to all information in the Service — including every property record whatever its status, member and portfolio details, uploaded documents, and the account-closure register — for operating, supporting, and securing the Service. This includes documents on draft and deleted property records. Use of the Service is voluntary, and an admin may access this information when they judge it necessary.
Uploaded title and tax documents are readable by the property owner, an agent the owner has granted editing rights, and admins. The owner may also disclose them through a share link by ticking Include private documents. Shared media and floor plans are readable by all joined members. Memberships bind to the accepting account and do not transfer to another account.
We do not sell personal data and do not publish property records to a public advertising surface.
4. Invitations
Invitations are addressed to an email address. Invitation records may survive account closure for security, history, and valid later re-registration flows. Re-registering an email does not transfer a former account's memberships or private records.
5. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational controls, including authentication, role and membership checks, database row-level security, private document storage, time-limited access links, and encryption in transit. No system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Hashing an IC or company number reduces exposure but does not make the result anonymous. We continue to protect the hash as personal data.
6. Retention and account closure
Self-service account closure frees the email immediately for re-registration, clears contact details, and retains the profile name temporarily for traceability. Admins can see a closure register until the closed profile and the property records that account held are removed three months after closure. The same period applies to an account we suspend; if the suspension is lifted within it, the account and its properties are restored.
Property records, memberships, invitation history, and audit logs may remain where other participants rely on them or they are needed for security, disputes, or legal obligations. Removing a member's copy or dashboard entry is not deletion of other copies or shared history. Closure audit entries survive the profile purge and retain the closure name/email snapshot.
7. Your choices and rights
Subject to the PDPA and applicable exceptions, you may request access to or correction of your personal data and may ask to limit processing. You may close an eligible account through the Service. You may opt out of rent-payment and tenancy-renewal reminders separately for each tenancy. Some processing is necessary to provide the Service or preserve required records.
Contact contact@propertypassport.com.my for a privacy request or complaint.
8. Cross-border processing
Data is hosted with our infrastructure providers in Japan (Tokyo, AWS ap-northeast-1), with global content delivery. We apply the requirements of Malaysian law to any cross-border transfer.
9. Planned processing — not active
We are considering the following future features:
- rent-receipt tracking through a banking gateway;
- Telegram contact verification; and
- multiple tenancies for one property.
These features are not active. Before activating them, we will assess providers, security, retention, lawful purpose, access, consent, and any required notice changes. The Service does not currently connect to a banking gateway or Telegram.
10. Changes and contact
We may update this notice as the Service changes. Material changes will be notified and may require a new acceptance. Privacy contact: contact@propertypassport.com.my.
