Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 January 2025  ·  Applies to all ReSwaps users

ReSwaps is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) of Malaysia.

1. Data We Collect

1.1 Account Information. When you register, we collect your full name, email address, phone number, and password (stored as a secure hash).

1.2 Profile Data. Profile picture you upload voluntarily.

1.3 Listing Data. Item photos, descriptions, declared values, defect disclosures, and pre-pack videos you submit.

1.4 Transaction Data. Swap history, credit balance, top-up records, swap protection selections, and platform fees.

1.5 Technical Data. IP address, browser type, device information, and page visit logs collected automatically when you use the Platform.

1.6 Communications. Messages you send through the Platform's swap request system.

2. How We Use Your Data

  • To operate and improve the ReSwaps Platform
  • To verify your identity and prevent fraud
  • To process swaps, credits, and dispute resolution
  • To send transactional notifications (swap status, dispute updates)
  • To enforce our Terms of Service
  • To comply with Malaysian legal obligations

3. How We Share Your Data

3.1 Other Users. Your public profile (name, badge tier, swap count, active listings) is visible to other users. Your contact details are only shared with your swap counterpart after a swap is accepted, solely for shipment coordination.

3.2 Service Providers. We may share data with trusted third-party providers (cloud hosting, payment processing, courier APIs) who are contractually bound to protect your data.

3.3 Legal Requirements. We may disclose your data to law enforcement or regulatory authorities when required by Malaysian law or a valid court order.

3.4 We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Upon account deletion request, we delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (e.g., financial transaction records are retained for 7 years under Malaysian accounting regulations). Uploaded photos may remain in our backup systems for up to 90 days after deletion.

5. Cookies & Tracking

ReSwaps uses session cookies to keep you logged in and preference cookies to remember your language setting. We also use Google Translate, which may set its own cookies. We do not use advertising tracking cookies. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect Platform functionality.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, hashed passwords (bcrypt), and access controls. However, no system is 100% secure. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential. Please notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

7. Your Rights Under PDPA

Under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data held by us
  • Correct inaccurate personal data
  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications
  • Request deletion of your account and data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@reswaps.com.

8. Third-Party Links

Our Platform may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., courier tracking pages). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Please review their privacy policies separately.

9. Children

ReSwaps is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we discover that a minor has registered, we will delete their account and data immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users via email or an in-platform notice at least 14 days before changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
