Privacy Policy

Lightman Consulting Sdn. Bhd, a company doing business as Lightman, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Lightman,” “we,” “our” or “us”), understands that privacy is important to our users. We comply with Malaysia Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (“PDPA”).

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect your personal information that we collect on our website and through the services we provide (collectively, our “Service”). By using our Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

1. How does Lightman comply with PDPA?

Lightman respects the privacy of individuals with regards to personal data and is committed to protect the privacy of our users, to provide a safe, and secured user experience. This privacy policy is formulated to depict how your information is collected, used, disclosed and processed, to assist you with making an informed decision before providing us with any of your personal data.

2. What information do we collect and why?

If you correspond with us, we may collect additional information you provide to us about your company or employer, your family, and your benefits, which we will consider to be personal information if it is linked to your identifying information. We may combine this information with data we collect from you through other methods, such as social media conversations (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and other social media platforms), Chatbot conversations on our website (Drift), telephone conversations or electronic document exchange services. Information we collect from third parties: We may obtain information about you from third parties, such as your employer, your payroll provider, and your elected benefit providers. We may collect information from consumer reporting agencies. We use this information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features of the Service.

We may use this information to communicate with you, such as to send you email messages, and to follow up with you to offer information about our Service and your account. We may also send you Service-related emails or messages (e.g., account verification, transactional communications, change or updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices). For more information about your communication preferences, see “Your Choices Regarding Your Information” below.

3. How do we use cookies and other tracking technology to collect information?

We and our third-party partners may automatically collect certain types of usage information when you visit our website or use our Service. For instance, when you visit our websites, we may send one or more cookies —a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters —to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and lets us help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the site. A cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the Service (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click, how frequently you access the Service, and other actions you take on the Service), and allow us to track your usage of the Service over time. We may collect log file information about your browser or mobile device each time you access the Service.

Logfile information may include anonymous information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, information about your mobile device, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Service, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information. We may employ clear gifs (also known as web beacons) which are used to anonymously track the online usage patterns of our Users. In addition, we may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. The information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Service. We may also collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools, to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your browser or mobile device, including the pages you visit, your use of third-party applications, and other information that assists us in analysing and improving the Service. Although we do our best to honour the privacy preferences of our Users, we are not able to respond to Do Not Track signals from your browser at this time, as we believe that there is no consistent industry standard for how to respond to Do Not Track browser settings.

When you access our Service by or through a mobile device, we may receive or collect and store unique identification numbers associated with your device or our mobile application (including, for example, a UDID, Unique ID for Advertisers (“IDFA”), Google Ad ID, or Windows Advertising ID), mobile carrier, device type, model and manufacturer, mobile device operating system brand and model, phone number, and, depending on your mobile device settings, your geographical location data, including GPS coordinates (e.g. latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device.

We may use the data collected through cookies, log files, device identifiers, location data and clear gifs information to (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information, including advertising; (c) provide and monitor the effectiveness of our Service; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as a total number of visitors, traffic, usage, and demographic patterns on our website and our Service; (e) diagnose or fix technology problems; and (f) otherwise to plan for and enhance our service.
