Internet Privacy Policy
Asthma Council Malaysia and the web builder, UBM Medica consider our users' privacy to be of the utmost importance. We advise you to read this privacy statement so that you will understand how we manage the personal information you entrust to us.

Your use of the website constitutes acceptance of our privacy statement. As we will make changes to this privacy statement from time to time, we will make every effort to notify you of the changes. Your continued use of our website shall be considered your agreement to the changes made to this privacy statement.

However, please note that this privacy statement no longer applies when you click on a link that takes you off our site.

Visitors to our website can access the home page, and browse some areas of the website, without disclosing any personal information.

The only personal information we obtain about you is what you supply when you register to use the Asthma Council Malaysia medical website. Examples of such information could be simple contact information, or personal information you reveal to us through responses to surveys, questionnaires or feedback forms.

However we do store the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer when you visit our website. This information is only used to create demographic summaries of where our users come from.

We may also collect information about your use of our website through the use of cookies. It allows us to know how often you visit our website and the activities you conduct while on our website. Since these cookies can tell us which areas of our website you visit the most, they help us improve our content and tailor it to your needs.

We may provide statistical information (usage habits, demographics) about our visitors as a group to third parties. This information will not identify you or allow third parties to contact you. In cases where we may need personal information to provide you with customised content or to inform you about new features or services, you will be asked for that information explicitly.

Any information obtained and gathered will not be disclosed to any other third party unless you indicate that we may do so, or when we are required to do so by any lawful government authority in any part of the world.

Sponsors, advertisers or third parties may also use cookies when you select their advertisement, content or service. We cannot control their use of cookies or how they use the information they gather. If you do not want information collected through cookies, you can change your browser setting. However, cookies may be necessary to provide you with certain features available on the website.

Any message and user name that you reveal in our discussion forum is not subject to this privacy statement. It can be seen by all registered users such as third parties not related to Asthma Council Malaysia, and may be used by them to contact you, or for unauthorised purposes. We cannot control this, and are not responsible for it. You should not post any information you want to keep private to a discussion board or other forum on our website.

We have implemented technology and security policies, rules and other measures to protect stored personal data from unauthorised access, improper use, alteration, unlawful or accidental destruction, and accidental loss. We also protect your information by ensuring that all our authorised employees who have access to, or are associated with the processing of your data, respect your confidentiality. Our web builder uses security methods (password and ID) to determine the identity of its registered users, so that appropriate rights and restrictions can be enforced for that user. However, we cannot be responsible if any person managed to have unauthorised access to or make use of your information. You are advised to read our disclaimer, which is found in this website.

This privacy statement is governed by the laws of Malaysia.

Children
In light of the importance of protecting children's privacy, we do not collect, process or use on our website any information relating to an individual whom we know to be under 18 years old without the prior, verifiable consent of his or her legal representative. Such legal representative has the right, upon request, to view the information provided by the child and/or to require that it be deleted.

The Asthma Council Malaysia does not intend this site for child audiences, and has no intention of collecting personally-identifiable information (such as name, address, telephone number) from children under 18 years old. If you discover that your child has provided us with personally identifiable information, we ask that a parent or guardian of the child contact us at enquiry@asthma-acm.com.my to have this information deleted from our records.

How we use non-personal information
Our site's operating system may automatically record some general information about your visit. We use this information for statistical analysis, to help us make our site more useful to visitors. We may disclose this non-personal information to third parties such as sponsors, clients or advertisers and/or use it for auditing purposes. This tracking system does not record personal information about individuals or link this information to any personal data collected.

From time to time we may use e-mail as a way to keep in touch with our existing customers and other interested individuals. However, we do not send 'spam' (unsolicited marketing e-mail).

If you agree to receive e-mail communications from us, every e-mail message we send to you will include an e-mail address to which you can respond. If at any time you wish to access and/or change the personal information (i.e. name and e-mail address) that you have provided to us, you can do so by editing your profile.

Please note that this policy discloses the privacy practices for www.asthma-acm.com.my. However, our site contains links to other sites. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy and security policies of that site.
