Privacy Policy
Last updated: 26 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how PolitikMY ("PolitikMY", "we", "us") handles information when you use this website. PolitikMY is a data-first platform presenting Malaysian electoral data. We aim to collect as little personal information as possible.
Information we collect
- Usage and technical data. Like most websites, our infrastructure automatically processes basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages and timestamps, primarily for security, performance and aggregate analytics.
- Assistant queries. When you use the in-site AI assistant, the messages you submit are processed to generate a response. Do not enter personal or sensitive information into the assistant.
- Information you send us. If you contact us by email, we receive the content of your message and your email address so we can reply.
We do not require you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect special categories of personal data through the website.
The electoral data on this site
The election results, statistics and demographic breakdowns published on PolitikMY are derived from anonymised open data — primarily ElectionData.MY (CC0, from SPR records), with population data from DOSM. This material is aggregate in nature and is not intended to identify any individual voter.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain and improve the website and its features.
- To respond to enquiries and provide the services you request.
- To monitor for security, prevent abuse and ensure reliability.
- To understand, in aggregate, how the site is used.
Third-party services
We use third-party infrastructure providers to host and serve the site and to power the AI assistant (including Cloudflare and its services). These providers process data on our behalf in accordance with their own terms and privacy practices. We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies
The website uses only the cookies and similar technologies necessary for it to function and to keep it secure. We do not use them to build advertising profiles.
Data retention
We retain information only for as long as needed for the purposes described above or as required by law, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us at the address below.
Children
The website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
