1. Introduction
Verithos ("we", "us", "our") is committed to handling personal data responsibly and transparently.

Our operations are based in Malaysia and we process personal data in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) of Malaysia.

- Email correspondence initiated by you
- Purchase transactions for the template pack (name, email address, payment information processed via our payment provider)
- Website analytics tools (aggregated, non-personal browsing data)
3. Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data on the following legal bases:
- Consent: When you submit the contact form or subscribe to updates, you consent to processing for the stated purpose.
- Contract performance: When you purchase a template pack or engage Verithos for a workshop or programme, we process data necessary to fulfil that agreement.
