Our Commitment to Purpose Limitation
We only use your personal information for the specific purposes outlined in this policy. We will never use your cooking preferences or personal data for unrelated commercial purposes without obtaining your explicit consent first.
3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We never sell your personal information to third parties or share your cooking preferences with advertisers. When we work with service providers, they are contractually bound to protect your privacy and use your information only for specified purposes related to improving your Dataova Hub experience.
4. Your Privacy Rights and Control
You have significant control over your personal information and how we use it. We've designed our platform to give you meaningful choices about your privacy while maintaining the personalized cooking experience you expect.
Access and Portability Rights
You can request a complete copy of all personal information we hold about you, including your cooking preferences, recipe interactions, and account details. We provide this information in a commonly used, machine-readable format within 30 days of your request.
Correction and Update Rights
Keep your profile information accurate by updating your dietary preferences, cooking skill level, and seasonal interests directly through your account settings. For information you cannot modify yourself, contact our support team for assistance with corrections.
Deletion and Erasure Rights
You may request deletion of your personal information at any time. We will permanently remove your data within 30 days, except for information we are legally required to retain. Note that account deletion will remove your personalized cooking recommendations and saved preferences.
Communication Preferences
Control what communications you receive from us. You can opt out of seasonal cooking newsletters, recipe notifications, or platform updates while maintaining your account. Use the unsubscribe link in any email or adjust preferences in your account settings.
5. Data Security and Protection
Protecting your personal information is fundamental to our operations. We implement multiple layers of security to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
Our security measures include encrypted data transmission using industry-standard TLS protocols, secure server infrastructure with regular security updates, and restricted access controls that limit employee access to personal information on a need-to-know basis.
Security Incident Response
In the unlikely event of a data security incident, we will notify affected users within 72 hours and provide detailed information about what happened, what information was involved, and what steps we are taking to address the situation and prevent future incidents.
We regularly conduct security assessments and updates to ensure our protection measures keep pace with evolving threats. Your account is protected by secure authentication, and we recommend using strong, unique passwords to further enhance your account security.
6. Data Retention and Storage
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our seasonal cooking services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Our retention practices balance your privacy rights with operational requirements and legal obligations.
- Active account information is retained while your account remains active and for 2 years after account closure
- Cooking interaction data and preferences are kept for 3 years to maintain service quality and personalization
- Communication records are retained for 1 year after the last interaction for customer service purposes
- Financial transaction records are kept for 7 years to comply with accounting and tax requirements
- Security logs and access records are maintained for 1 year to ensure platform integrity and investigate incidents
When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information. You can request earlier deletion of your data, subject to legal and operational requirements. Anonymized data used for research and platform improvement may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be linked back to you personally.
7. International Data Transfers
As a platform serving users primarily in Malaysia while utilizing global technology infrastructure, some of your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Malaysia. We ensure these transfers maintain appropriate privacy protections.
When we transfer data internationally, we implement safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by privacy regulators, adequacy decisions recognizing equivalent privacy protection in destination countries, and additional security measures to protect data during transmission and storage.
Our primary data processing occurs within secure facilities that meet international privacy standards. We regularly review our international partners and service providers to ensure they maintain privacy protection standards equivalent to those required in Malaysia.

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences or our cookie consent tools. Disabling certain cookies may limit some platform features, but core functionality will remain available.
9. Children's Privacy
Our seasonal cooking platform is designed for users aged 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 without verified parental consent. If we discover we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 16, we will delete it promptly.

For users between 16 and 18, we recommend parental guidance when engaging with our cooking community features and sharing personal preferences or cooking experiences on the platform.
