Who we are
We are an online community for Malaysian doctors run by Malaysian doctors.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
When you register, the information collected in the registration form will be used for administrative purposes only (verification and registration of members) and also to identify yourself with your colleagues within the private Dobbs community.
You acknowledge that the information provided is accurate to the best of your ability. We are unable to register you if the details provided are inaccurate or incomplete.
Your IP address will be logged at the time of registration along with other details in the registration form. Dobbs does send out a regular newsletter to all subscribers by default but you have the option to opt out of the mailing list at any time with an unsubscribe option provided in the newsletter.
You agree to respect Dobbs as a private Doctors’ community and will not share information within the pages, forums or emails with non-medical persons.
