Scan MyKad NFC

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 19/9/2025

We built the Scan MyKad NFC application as a utility. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information for anyone who chooses to use our Service.

Information We Access

The app uses your device’s Near Field Communication (NFC) capability solely to read limited data from the Malaysian Identity Card (MyKad). Specifically:

  • We read and display the MyKad card serial number to the user.
  • We do not access or process personal details such as name, address, photograph, or biometric data.

Data Collection and Processing

  • No personal data is collected, stored, or transmitted by the app.
  • Scanned data is processed locally on your device and shown within the app interface.
  • The app operates offline for scanning and does not send card data to our servers or any third parties.

Permissions

The app requests access to the device’s NFC hardware to enable scanning. No other sensitive permissions are required.

Third‑Party Services

This app does not use third‑party analytics, advertising SDKs, or crash reporters that collect personal information.

Data Retention

We do not retain any scanned data. Any information shown on screen is cleared when you close or navigate away from the scanning view.

Security

We minimize risk by design: because the app does not transmit or store sensitive information, exposure is limited to your device only. However, no electronic system is ever fully secure; use NFC features in safe environments.

Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under 13. As we do not collect personal data, there is no personal information from children to store or process.

Your Rights

Because we do not collect or store personal data, typical data subject rights (access, correction, deletion) are not applicable. If you have questions, please contact us.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes on this page and update the “Effective Date” above.
