Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) applies to any ecommerce seller who collects customer data, which means virtually every online business. Whether you’re storing delivery addresses, processing payment information, or running email marketing campaigns, you need to comply with PDPA requirements.
