Privacy

The pages are built in advance and served as they are. The pages themselves set no cookies, show no advertising and load no tracking code. The one exception is analytics, which runs only if you accept it (below). Their fonts and pictures come from this site, not from other companies’ servers.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare receives the technical details a browser sends with every request, such as its IP address, the page asked for and the kind of browser, in order to deliver the page. What Cloudflare does with them is covered by its own privacy policy.

On your first visit a short question at the foot of the page asks whether the site may count your visit with Google Analytics. Until you answer, and if you decline, nothing from Google loads.

If you accept, Google Analytics sets two cookies, named “_ga” and “_ga_” followed by a code, which last up to two years. It sends Google the pages you open, roughly where you are (to the city, worked out from your IP address) and the kind of device and browser you use. It never receives what you type into the enquiry form. Google handles this data on its own servers, which may be outside Malaysia, under its privacy policy; the reports are seen only by the people who look after this site.

Your answer is kept in this browser. You can change it here at any time, or by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

The form on the contact page does not send or store anything. When you press “Compose the enquiry”, it writes your name, the nature of the matter and your note into a new email in your own mail app, addressed to her. Your mail app adds your own address when you send it. Nothing reaches her unless you send that email yourself.

While you type, what you write stays in the browser tab. This site does not save it anywhere, and closing the tab discards it.

If your mail app does not open, the page keeps the message on screen, for you to copy or to open in Gmail or Outlook.com. Choosing one of those passes the message to Google or Microsoft, as it would if you had typed it into their site yourself.

The share buttons under each article are plain links. They reach WhatsApp, Telegram, LinkedIn or X only if you choose one, and then only to open that service with the article’s title and address filled in. Copying a link, or using your device’s own share sheet, involves no one else until you pick where to send it.

Links to other websites, such as the newspapers her pieces first appeared in, lead to sites with privacy practices of their own.

An email you send reaches the address it is written to, like any other email, and is read so that it can be answered. Please leave confidential details out of a first message: an enquiry does not create a solicitor–client relationship.

To ask how your correspondence is kept, or about personal data you have sent, write to her through the contact page.

In Malaysia, the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 governs the processing of personal data in commercial transactions.
