Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 25 April 2025
1. Introduction
F & C Steel Technology (M) Sdn Bhd (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data under Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). This Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and safeguard the personal data you provide when you visit our website www.fcsteeltech.com or interact with our services.
2. Types of Data We Collect
We collect different categories of personal data depending on your interactions with us. When you contact us or submit an application, we collect identity data such as your full name and date of birth, and contact data including your email address, telephone number, and mailing address. If you apply for a position, we also collect application data such as your resume, cover letter, employment history, and qualifications. When you use our website, we automatically gather technical data—your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and usage statistics. Finally, if you subscribe to newsletters or marketing materials, we record your marketing and communication preferences.
3. Why and on What Basis We Process Your Data
We process your personal data for several purposes entirely through narrative description. First, when you make an enquiry, we use your identity and contact information to respond; this processing relies on your consent or our legitimate interest in communicating with you. Second, when you submit a job application, we process your application materials and identity data to evaluate and fulfill employment contracts; this is necessary for performance of contract or based on your consent. Third, if you opt in to receive our newsletters or promotional offers, we use your contact and marketing preference data strictly on the basis of your consent. Fourth, we analyze technical and usage data to improve our website and services, which is justified by our legitimate interest in enhancing user experience. Finally, we may process any of the above data categories to comply with legal or regulatory obligations imposed on us.
4. With Whom We Share Your Data
We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share your information with service providers who perform functions on our behalf—such as website hosting, data analytics, email distribution, and professional advisory services — under contractual obligations to keep your data secure. We may also disclose personal data if required by law, regulation, or court order, or when necessary to protect our legal rights, prevent fraud, or ensure the safety of our users.
5. International Transfers of Data
Where we transfer your personal data outside Malaysia, we will implement appropriate safeguards — such as standard contractual clauses or binding corporate rules — to ensure that overseas recipients process your data in compliance with PDPA-level protections.
6. How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, to satisfy legal record-keeping obligations, or to resolve disputes. Once your data is no longer required, we will securely delete it or anonymize it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
7. Security Measures
We maintain technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit and at rest, strict access controls, regular security assessments, and staff training on data protection.
8. Your Rights under Malaysian Law
Under the PDPA, you have the right to request access to any personal data we hold about you, to correct inaccurate or incomplete information, to withdraw consent for processing based on consent, and to request the deletion or blocking of your data (subject to legal retention requirements). To exercise these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the details below.
9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to enhance functionality, analyze traffic, and personalize your experience. You may disable cookies through your browser settings; however, some features of our site may not function properly if cookies are blocked.
