Introduction and Scope
This privacy policy explains how VelaTsuite collects, uses, stores and shares personal data in connection with our exclusive apartment matching and lifestyle property advisory services. The policy includes practical scenarios and examples so clients understand real-world data handling during property searches, viewings and client onboarding. It applies to users of VelaTsuite.click and to interactions with our team at the address and contact details provided below.
Key Definitions
To keep the policy practical, we define key terms used throughout with short examples tied to typical client scenarios: property searches, viewing coordination and advisory sessions.
What Data We Collect
We collect data necessary to deliver services effectively. Below are how we receive information, with real-world examples from client engagements and listing cases.
Data You Provide Directly
When you request an apartment match, sign up for advisory sessions, or communicate with our team, you provide information used to deliver those services. Examples below reflect common intake forms and consultation scenarios.
- Contact details: full name, email address and preferred phone number used to schedule viewings and communicate booking details.
- Property preferences: budget, unit type, preferred neighbourhoods, move-in timeframe; used to generate tailored property shortlists.
- Identity and verification documents: where required for viewings or bookings, such as a copy of ID or passport in landlord negotiation scenarios.
- Communication content: messages and notes from calls or meetings used to refine matching and record client decisions.
- Payment information: partial details needed for invoicing and payment processing stored only when you purchase a paid advisory package; full card details handled by third-party payment processors.
- Feedback and case notes: client feedback after viewings and outcomes of negotiations used for internal service improvement and documented case studies without identifying details.
Data Collected Automatically
When you browse VelaTsuite.click or use our online tools, some technical data is collected automatically to improve service performance and security, illustrated by use-case examples below.
- Device and browser information: device type, operating system and browser version used to troubleshoot portal access during virtual tours.
- Usage data: pages visited, search queries and saved listings used to suggest similar apartments based on prior interactions.
- IP address and approximate location: used to detect unusual access patterns and to localize search results for Malaysian regions such as Penang.
- Session identifiers and cookies: maintain logged-in status and preserve saved search filters between visits.
- Performance data: load times and errors reported to our technical team to improve the site experience during peak listing updates.
- Analytics events: anonymized event data aggregated to understand feature usage, such as which lifestyle filters (commute time, schools) are most used.
Third-Party Sources
We may supplement user-provided data with information from reputable third parties to complete profiles or verify listings; examples of such usage are below.
- Public records and property registries used to confirm ownership and legal status of a listing before recommending it to a client.
- Payment processors and invoicing services used to process advisory fees; these providers handle full payment details separately from our systems.
- Third-party verification services for identity checks during contract preparations or secure booking scenarios.
Purposes of Processing
We use personal data to perform services and to operate the website. Each purpose below is linked to a practical example from our advisory work.
- To provide apartment matching and advisory: using preferences and budget to curate a shortlist and coordinate viewings.
- To communicate with clients: scheduling, updates on listings and follow-ups after viewings.
- To verify listings and perform due diligence: confirming listing accuracy before recommending properties.
- To process payments and invoices for paid advisory services and consultancy sessions.
- To improve services: analyzing anonymized case notes and aggregated use patterns to refine our matching algorithms.
- To comply with legal obligations: responding to regulatory requests or providing records required by Malaysian law.
- To prevent abuse and protect security: detecting fraud or unauthorized access attempts to protect clients and listings.
- To deliver marketing only where consented: sending service updates or relevant property opportunities when users opt in.
Legal Basis for Processing (Where Applicable)
Depending on the jurisdiction and the type of data, we rely on legitimate interests, contractual necessity, consent, and compliance with legal obligations. Below are typical bases aligned with common client scenarios.
- Contractual necessity: processing required to perform services you requested, such as matching and booking viewings.
- Legitimate interests: improving service quality, fraud prevention and ensuring listing accuracy when balanced with individual rights.
- Consent: for direct marketing communications and optional profiling features when users explicitly opt in.
- Compliance with legal obligations: responding to lawful requests from authorities or fulfilling tax and accounting requirements.
Data Protection and Applicable Rights
Although VelaTsuite operates in Malaysia, we adopt practices consistent with international standards, and we describe common data protection rights below with examples of how to exercise them.
- Right of access: you can request a copy of personal data we hold about you, for example a record of shortlisted properties linked to your profile.

When We Share Data
We share data only as necessary to deliver services, and always with attention to client confidentiality. Practical sharing scenarios are listed below.
- With landlords and property managers to arrange viewings and verify listing details for a specific client match.
- With professional advisors such as notaries or relocation specialists when you request integrated advisory services and provide consent.
- With third-party service providers: payment processors, hosting providers and analytics platforms, under contractual data protection terms.
- With law enforcement or regulators when required by law or to respond to legitimate legal processes.
- With trusted partners in anonymized or aggregated form for service improvement and market analysis without revealing individual identities.
- With successor entities if VelaTsuite were to merge or transfer assets, always subject to confidentiality commitments and notice to affected users.
International Data Transfers
Some service providers we work with may process personal data outside Malaysia. When transfers occur, we apply safeguards such as contractual clauses and select providers that meet recognized data protection standards. Example: cloud-based booking tools hosted in a region with adequate protections.
We use standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements, and vetted third-party vendors to ensure an adequate level of protection for any cross-border data transfers.
Data Retention
We retain data only as long as required for the purpose it was collected, to meet legal obligations or to resolve disputes. Below are typical retention periods tied to practical case types.
Account and profile information: retained while your account is active and for up to 3 years after account deactivation for record-keeping and dispute resolution.
Communications and messaging records: retained for up to 2 years to support service continuity and to resolve any matters related to viewings or negotiations.
System logs and security records: retained for up to 1 year for security monitoring and abuse prevention.
When data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize it. If legal obligations require longer retention (for example, accounting documents), we will retain necessary records for the mandated period.
Security Measures
We apply industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. Security is assessed regularly and our team follows documented incident response procedures. Measures are selected proportionate to the sensitivity of data and typical risks encountered in property advisory operations.
- Encryption of data in transit using TLS and encryption at rest for sensitive records.
- Access controls and role-based permissions to limit internal access to client data used in specific property matches.
- Regular security reviews, vulnerability scanning and staff training on data protection and secure handling of case notes.

How to exercise your privacy rights
To exercise any of the rights listed above, submit a written request to our privacy team at VelaTsuite. Include your full name, the email address used with our service, a description of the information you are requesting, and a copy of government-issued ID if required to verify identity. Practical case example: if you ask for a portability export after a relocation in Penang, we will provide a structured data file containing your property preferences, saved listings, and communication history related to matches. Send requests via postal mail to 1665, Jalan Telok Air Tawar, Permatang Kanchut, 13050 Butterworth, Pinang, Malaysia or use the contact form at VelaTsuite.click/contact. Business ID: 789433227407. Request received on or after 07-02-2026 will be processed under the policy effective from that date.
We generally process verification and respond to rights requests within 30 days of receipt. For complex requests or cases requiring third-party coordination (for example, where property partner data must be retrieved), we may extend this period and will inform you of the expected timeline and reason for delay.
Marketing and communications
VelaTsuite uses contact details to share relevant property matches, curated lifestyle reports, and occasional invitations to events or viewings. Communications are based on your stated preferences and scenarios you described during onboarding — for instance, if you indicated interest in coastal apartments in Penang, we will prioritize sends tailored to those signals. We may also send administrative messages about your account or scheduled advisory sessions. Marketing content is intended to be practical and example-driven: match summaries, concise case studies of similar client scenarios, and notifications of new listings that meet explicit criteria.
To stop receiving marketing messages, use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or contact us by mail at 1665, Jalan Telok Air Tawar, Permatang Kanchut, 13050 Butterworth, Pinang, Malaysia, or via the preferences section of your VelaTsuite account. You may also call our office at +60123942931 to request removal from marketing lists.
Children and minors
VelaTsuite is not intended for use by children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors for advisory or property-matching purposes. Practical scenarios: if a parent or guardian registers on behalf of a young adult, we may require verification of guardian consent or documentation before proceeding with viewings or business introductions. If we learn that personal data of a minor has been collected without appropriate consent, we will take steps to remove it promptly.
Third-party links and partners
Our website may link to external partners such as listing portals, mortgage advisors, inspection services and lifestyle providers. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies and practices. Example: when we connect you to a mortgage partner to obtain indicative funding options, that partner will collect business details directly and handle that data under its own terms. VelaTsuite is not responsible for third-party handling of your information; always review partner terms before sharing sensitive data.
Policy updates
This privacy policy is effective from 07-02-2026. We may update the policy to reflect changes in our services, regulatory requirements, or partner arrangements. When material changes occur, we will post a notice on VelaTsuite.click and, where appropriate, notify registered users directly with a summary of what changed and relevant timelines to review.
