  • Analytics partners (e.g., Google Analytics) who provide aggregated usage insights;
  • Other Users, such as when a Client provides a Service Provider’s contact details for an Engagement referral.

5. Why We Process Your Data

Under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (Malaysia), we process your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Consent — you have given clear and informed consent to a specific use;
  • Contract — processing is necessary to perform our agreement with you or to take steps at your request before entering into one;
  • Legal obligation — processing is required by Malaysian law or a binding regulatory requirement;
  • Legitimate interests — processing serves our or a third party’s legitimate interests and is proportionate to any impact on your rights.

Specifically, we use your data to:

  • Create and manage your Account;
  • Facilitate Engagements between Clients and Service Providers;
  • Manage orders, generate records, and handle invoicing;
  • Provide customer support and resolve disputes between Users;

6. Who We Share Your Data With

6.1 Other Users

To facilitate Engagements, limited profile information is visible to other Users. Service Providers’ business name, service descriptions, portfolio, and ratings are publicly visible on their profile. When an Engagement is confirmed, the Client’s name and relevant project details are shared with the Service Provider for fulfilment purposes only.

6.2 Third-Party Service Providers

We engage trusted third parties to help us operate the Platform. These include:

  • Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers;
  • Payment processors (who handle transaction data under their own privacy frameworks);
  • Customer support and helpdesk platforms;
  • Analytics and marketing technology providers (e.g., Google Analytics, Meta Pixel);
  • Cybersecurity and fraud detection services.

All third-party processors are bound by contractual obligations to process personal data only on our instructions, maintain appropriate security, and not use data for their own purposes.

6.3 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure

We may disclose personal data to competent authorities where required or permitted by Malaysian law, including the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM), or law enforcement agencies acting under a lawful mandate.

6.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of our business, personal data may be transferred to the relevant successor entity. We will notify Users of any such transfer and of any material changes to this Policy that result from it.

6.5 No Sale of Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes, under any circumstances.

7. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some of our third-party service providers operate infrastructure outside Malaysia (including in Singapore and the United States). Where your personal data is transferred outside Malaysia, we ensure adequate protection is in place by:

  • Transferring only to countries or processors that provide a comparable standard of data protection;
  • Requiring data processing agreements with appropriate contractual protections;
  • Where relevant, relying on legally recognised transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

NOTE: If you are based in a jurisdiction with specific cross-border data transfer rules (e.g., the EU under GDPR), additional protections may apply to your data. Contact cs@lmnrx.com for more information.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data disposal procedures.

We apply appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. These include:

  • Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and encryption of sensitive data at rest;
  • Role-based access controls so only authorised personnel can access personal data;
  • Regular security assessments and vulnerability monitoring;
  • Incident response procedures for detecting, containing, and reporting data breaches;
  • Contractual security requirements imposed on all third-party processors.

No system is completely immune from security risks. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify you and the relevant regulatory authority in accordance with applicable law.
