Jelita is committed to handling your personal information with care and transparency. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it.
1. Introduction
Jelita ("we", "us", "our") operates a residential placement and tenancy coordination service based at Jalan Maarof, Bangsar, 59000 Kuala Lumpur.

We process personal data in accordance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA 2010) and related regulations. Where clients are located in other jurisdictions, we take reasonable steps to meet applicable local requirements.
Questions about this policy may be directed to [email protected].

The legal bases we rely on are: performance of a contract (service delivery), legitimate interests (website improvement, fraud prevention), legal obligation, and — where required — your consent.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling that has significant legal effects.
4. Sharing Your Data
We share personal data only where necessary. Third parties who may receive data include:
