By submitting the “Contact us” Online Form on https://www.identitymalta.com, you provide Identity Malta Agency (“IMA”) with personal data (the “Data”) and thus become a “data subject”.

You may submit personal data of individuals other than yourself with this Online Form (i.e. family members, etc.). IMA has assessed that, in said cases, informing these individuals proves impossible and would involve a disproportionate effort.
