Stream Spotfirst operates as a specialized financial data interpretation platform serving users across Malaysia and the broader Southeast Asian region. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and manage your personal information when you access our services at streamspotfirst.com.

Our commitment to privacy extends beyond basic compliance. We believe that understanding financial markets requires trust, and trust begins with transparency about how we handle your data. When you engage with our educational resources or use our analytical tools, you're sharing valuable information with us that helps improve our services.

We gather information through several channels to provide personalized financial education and analytical insights:

• Account Information: Name, email address, phone number, and professional background when you register for our learning programs
• Educational Progress: Course completion rates, quiz scores, module preferences, and learning pathway choices
• Platform Usage: Pages visited, time spent on different sections, search queries within our educational content
• Device and Technical Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and device identifiers for security purposes
• Communication Records: Messages sent through our contact forms, support tickets, and feedback submissions

Information collection happens automatically through cookies and tracking technologies, as well as through direct input when you interact with forms, surveys, or educational assessments on our platform.

Your data serves multiple purposes in delivering effective financial education and platform functionality:

Educational Personalization: We analyze your learning patterns to recommend relevant courses, suggest additional resources, and customize content difficulty based on your progress. This helps create a more effective learning experience tailored to your current knowledge level.

Platform Improvement: Usage statistics help us identify which educational modules are most effective, where students commonly struggle, and how to enhance our content delivery methods. This aggregated data drives our content development decisions.

Communication and Support: We use your contact information to send important updates about course schedules, new educational resources, and respond to support inquiries. These communications help maintain continuity in your learning journey.

Security and Fraud Prevention: Technical data and usage patterns help us detect unusual activity, prevent unauthorized access, and maintain the integrity of our educational platform.

We also use anonymized data for research purposes, studying trends in financial education needs across different demographic groups in Malaysia. This research helps us develop more relevant educational content for our regional market.

Stream Spotfirst follows strict guidelines about sharing your personal information. We believe your data belongs to you, and sharing should only happen when it directly benefits your educational experience or is legally required.

Educational Partners: We occasionally collaborate with certified financial educators, industry professionals, and educational institutions to enhance our course offerings. In such cases, we may share limited information like progress reports or completion certificates, but only with your explicit permission.

Technical Service Providers: Our platform relies on cloud hosting services, email delivery systems, and analytics tools provided by third parties. These providers receive only the minimum data necessary to perform their specific functions and are contractually bound to protect your information.

Legal Requirements: Malaysian law may require us to disclose certain information to regulatory authorities, particularly regarding financial education compliance or in response to valid legal requests. We will notify you of such disclosures when legally permitted.

Any data sharing arrangements are documented through formal agreements that specify data protection requirements, usage limitations, and deletion timelines.

Under Malaysian data protection law and our privacy commitment, you have several important rights regarding your personal information:

Exercising Your Rights: To access, modify, or delete your information, send a request to our privacy team at info@streamspotfirst.com. Include your full name, registered email address, and specific details about your request. We typically respond within 30 days, though complex requests may take longer.

For deletion requests, we'll remove all personal information except what's required for legal compliance, such as course completion records that may be needed for regulatory audits of our educational programs.

Protecting your information requires multiple layers of security, both technical and procedural. We've implemented comprehensive measures to safeguard your data throughout its lifecycle on our platform.

Technical Safeguards: All data transmission uses SSL encryption, and our databases employ advanced encryption methods for stored information. Access controls ensure only authorized personnel can view personal data, and all access attempts are logged and monitored.

Physical Security: Our servers are housed in certified data centers with 24/7 monitoring, biometric access controls, and redundant power systems. These facilities maintain strict environmental controls and security protocols.

Employee Training: Our staff undergoes regular privacy training and signs confidentiality agreements. Access to personal data is limited to employees whose roles specifically require it for educational support or technical maintenance.

Regular Audits: We conduct quarterly security assessments, penetration testing, and privacy audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they become issues.

We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide educational services and comply with legal requirements. Different types of data have different retention periods based on their purpose and regulatory requirements.

Account Information: Maintained while your account remains active, plus an additional two years after account closure for audit purposes and to prevent duplicate registrations.

Educational Records: Course completions, certificates, and learning progress are retained for seven years to comply with Malaysian educational record-keeping requirements and to provide long-term verification of achievements.

Communication Logs: Support conversations and feedback submissions are kept for three years to improve service quality and resolve any follow-up issues that may arise.

Technical Data: Server logs and security information are retained for 18 months for security analysis and system optimization purposes.

When retention periods expire, we securely delete information using industry-standard data destruction methods. For encrypted data, we destroy the encryption keys, making the information permanently inaccessible.

While Stream Spotfirst primarily operates within Malaysia, some of our technical infrastructure and educational partnerships may involve data processing in other countries. We ensure appropriate protections are in place for any international data transfers.

Cloud Infrastructure: Our primary data centers are located in Singapore and Malaysia, with backup systems in Australia. These locations provide robust data protection laws and reliable infrastructure for serving the Southeast Asian market.

Educational Partners: Some course content is developed in collaboration with institutions in the United States and United Kingdom. When sharing progress data or completion records with these partners, we use contractual safeguards to ensure equivalent privacy protection.

Transfer Safeguards: All international data transfers are protected through standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, or other approved mechanisms under Malaysian privacy law. We regularly review these arrangements to ensure continued protection.

Our platform uses various technologies to enhance your learning experience and understand how our educational content performs. These tools help us deliver personalized education while respecting your privacy preferences.

Essential Cookies: Required for basic platform functionality, including login sessions, course progress tracking, and security features. These cannot be disabled without affecting core educational services.

Analytics Cookies: Help us understand which educational modules are most effective, how long students spend on different topics, and where improvements might be needed. This data is anonymized and used solely for educational enhancement.

Preference Cookies: Remember your settings like language preferences, display options, and notification choices to provide a more personalized experience across sessions.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may limit some platform features. Our cookie notice provides detailed information about each type of tracking technology we use and allows granular control over non-essential cookies.

Stream Spotfirst's educational content focuses on adult financial literacy and professional development. Our platform is designed for individuals aged 18 and above, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

If we discover that we have inadvertently collected information from someone under 18, we will delete that information immediately and terminate the associated account. Parents or guardians who believe their child may have provided information to us should contact our privacy team immediately.

For educational institutions that may use our content in academic settings involving younger students, special arrangements must be made through institutional agreements that address parental consent and additional privacy protections required for minors.

Privacy practices evolve with technology and regulatory changes. We review and update this policy regularly to ensure it accurately reflects our current practices and legal requirements.

When significant changes occur, we'll notify active users via email and display prominent notices on our platform. Minor updates, such as clarifications or additional examples, may be made without specific notification, though we'll update the "last modified" date at the top of this document.

Continued use of our platform after policy changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you disagree with significant changes, you may close your account and request deletion of your information according to the procedures outlined in this policy.
