Data Ethics &
Client Confidentiality

Last Updated: Jan 15, 2026 Malaysia PDPA Compliant

Your metabolic data, consultation notes, and dietary preferences are not "user data"—they are clinical records. This policy outlines how NutriFokus secures your information with the same rigor we apply to meal planning: strict access controls, zero excess retention, and absolute clarity on usage.

The Vault Protocol

Our governing philosophy on trust.

1. We collect only what is medically necessary

When you book a consultation, we require basic contact details (name, email, phone) and optional health history. We do not require your IC number, home address, or financial data. If you upload a photo of a meal for analysis, it is processed in-session and deleted within 24 hours.

CONSTRAINT: Database entries are anonymized after 90 days of account inactivity. Reactivation requires a new intake form.

2. Your data powers your plan, not our ads

NutriFokus does not sell, rent, or trade client data. Your allergy list, weight history, and goal metrics are used exclusively to generate your macro targets and recipe recommendations. We do not share identifiable data with third-party supplement brands or fitness trackers.

3. Encryption at rest and in transit

All web traffic is secured via TLS 1.3. Client records are stored in a segregated database instance with AES-256 encryption. Physical access to servers is restricted to authorized engineers with biometric clearance.

Information Inventory

Input: What You Provide

  • Identity: Name, email, phone number for booking coordination.
  • Health Context: Voluntary disclosure of allergies, medical conditions, activity levels.
  • Dietary Habits: Food logs, meal timing, budget constraints.
  • Communications: Notes from chat sessions or email exchanges.

Output: How We Use It

  • Plan Generation: Calculating TDEE, macro splits, and portion sizes.
  • Session Prep: Reviewing history before video consultation.
  • Compliance: Maintaining records required by Malaysian health regulations.
  • Service Improvement: Anonymized aggregate trends (e.g., "60% of clients avoid breakfast").
CRITICAL: We never process payment data. All bookings are handled via bank transfer or secure third-party gateways.

Disclosure & Third Parties

Who can see your records?

  • Your Nutritionist: During active consultation cycles.
  • Technical Staff: Only for system integrity, never for content review.
  • Legal Requirement: Only upon valid court order or police request.

"We have never received a request for client data from a government agency. If we did, we would fight for client privacy within the full extent of Malaysian law."
