Nile Tech has no access to MyJPJ data, transport ministry says

Nile Tech Sdn Bhd has not been granted access to the database of the road transport department’s MyJPJ application, and no user profile information is automatically transmitted to the company via the insurance renewal link in the application, the transport ministry says.

In a written response on the Parliament website, the ministry said the insurance renewal service featured in MyJPJ merely serves as a link, directing users to the Nile Tech portal to complete their 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 in response to a question from Che Mohamad Zulkifly Jusoh (PN-Besut) regarding the protective measures in place to ensure that users’ personal data is not accessed by third parties.

The ministry said Nile Tech was appointed as a platform provider to offer MyJPJ users an alternative channel for vehicle insurance renewal, to facilitate online transactions and reduce the need for users to visit physical counters.

“This appointment was carried out through a process established by the transport ministry and JPJ, and is subject to the 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 added.
