KUALA LUMPUR: The MyDigital ID system does not store any biometric data such as fingerprints, iris scan or facial recognition, nor does it use any chips or implants, according to Mimos Bhd.
MyDigital ID also does not collect, monitor, share or store users’ personal data or online activities or allow users to have more than one digital identity.
“It also does not function as a substitute for MyKad for proof of identity.
“The use of this system on the government portal can also guarantee secure transactions through a cryptographic-based system that ensures its security,” Mimos said in a statement.
According to the statement, MyDigital ID represents the government’s commitment to providing easily accessible and secure digital services for everyone.
“MyDigital ID also signifies a significant step towards a user-friendly and secure digital environment and is in line with the government’s vision of using technology to empower people,” it said, Bernama reported.
