KUALA LUMPUR: Nile Tech Sdn Bhd has not been granted access to the MyJPJ database, and no user profile data is automatically transmitted through the application’s insurance renewal link.
In a written reply published on the Parliament website, the Transport Ministry said the insurance renewal feature in MyJPJ serves merely as a link redirecting users to the Nile Tech portal to complete transactions.
“When the link is selected, users are redirected from the MyJPJ application to the Nile Tech portal. All insurance renewal processes and transactions take place on that portal.
“Should a user choose to proceed on the Nile Tech portal, any information entered by the user is subject to the portal’s own terms, conditions, and privacy policy,” the ministry said.
The ministry was responding to a question from Datuk Che Mohamad Zulkifly Jusoh (PN-Besut) on safeguards to ensure users’ personal data is not accessed by third parties.
It said Nile Tech was appointed as a platform provider to offer an alternative channel for vehicle insurance renewal, facilitating online transactions and reducing physical counter visits.
“This appointment was carried out through a process established by the ministry and the Road Transport Department (RTD) and is subject to stipulated terms and conditions.
“The company has not been granted exclusive rights to provide this service, and its implementation incurs no cost to the government,” the ministry said.
