This Privacy Policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us in connection with your use of the kwin8 Platform available at kwin8.win ("the Platform").

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

kwin8 does not sell or rent your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your personal data with third parties only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: Third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, including payment processors, identity verification providers, cloud hosting providers, customer support platform operators, and analytics providers. These parties are bound by data processing agreements and may only use your data for the purposes for which it was shared
• Game providers: Casino game and sportsbook software providers who supply the games available on the Platform may receive technical data (such as session tokens and transaction identifiers) necessary for game operation. They are not provided with your identity or contact data beyond what is required for their service
• Regulatory authorities: Gaming regulators, law enforcement agencies, tax authorities, and other government bodies where kwin8 is required by law or licensing conditions to disclose information
• Fraud and crime prevention: Industry-wide fraud prevention databases and responsible gaming registers, to the extent permitted and required by our licensing obligations
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a material portion of kwin8's business assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of the transaction, subject to equivalent privacy protections
• Legal claims: Where disclosure is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims brought by or against kwin8

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

kwin8 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (including web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage) to operate the Platform, improve user experience, and analyse Platform usage. The categories of cookies used include:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the Platform to function — including session management, login authentication, and security features. These cannot be disabled without breaking core Platform functionality
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences (such as language settings and game lobby view configurations) to improve your experience on return visits
• Analytics cookies: Collect aggregated information about how players use the Platform, helping kwin8 understand which features are most used and where improvements are needed. This data does not identify individual users
• Marketing cookies: Used to track activity across the Platform to deliver relevant promotional communications and offers to players who have opted in to marketing. These cookies may track whether you have opened a promotional email or returned to the Platform following a marketing communication

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain categories of cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform following the display of our cookie notice constitutes consent to the use of cookies as described above.

8. Data Retention

kwin8 retains your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following considerations:

• Active accounts: Personal data is retained for the duration of your registration with kwin8 and for a period thereafter as required by applicable law and licensing conditions
• Closed accounts: Following account closure (for any reason), kwin8 is required to retain transaction records, identity verification documents, and correspondence for a minimum period as prescribed by our gaming licence and applicable anti-money laundering regulations — typically a period of five (5) years from the date of account closure or last transaction, whichever is later
• Self-excluded players: Records related to self-exclusion are retained for the duration of the exclusion period and for a period thereafter to prevent re-registration
• Marketing data: If you opt out of marketing communications, we retain a record of your opt-out preference to ensure you are not contacted again

When personal data is no longer required for any lawful purpose, kwin8 will securely delete or anonymise it in accordance with our internal data management procedures.

9. Data Security

kwin8 implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the Platform
• Encryption of sensitive data (including passwords and financial information) at rest
• Role-based access controls limiting employee access to personal data to those who require it for their job function
• Regular security assessments and penetration testing of Platform infrastructure
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) available to all registered players to protect account access
• Incident response procedures for detecting, reporting, and managing data breaches

Notwithstanding these measures, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. kwin8 cannot guarantee absolute security of your data, and you acknowledge this inherent risk. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own login credentials and for notifying kwin8 immediately if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

10. Your Data Subject Rights

Subject to applicable law and licensing restrictions, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by kwin8:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact kwin8 at [email protected] with your registered email address and a clear description of your request. kwin8 will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable requirements. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

Please note that certain rights are subject to limitations — for example, kwin8 cannot delete transaction or identity verification records that we are legally required to retain under our gaming licence or applicable law.

11. Children's Privacy & Age Verification

The kwin8 Platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. kwin8 does not knowingly collect, use, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Age verification is conducted as part of the account registration and KYC process to enforce this restriction.

If kwin8 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, we will take immediate steps to close the account and securely delete or anonymise all associated data. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a person under 21 has registered with kwin8 without your knowledge, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

12. International Data Transfers

kwin8 operates under international gaming licensing and uses service providers and infrastructure that may be located outside of Malaysia. As a result, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. Where such transfers occur, kwin8 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection standards, including contractual protections with data processors and service providers.

By using the kwin8 Platform, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to other countries as described in this Privacy Policy, subject to the security and organisational measures described in Section 9.

13. Third-Party Links

The kwin8 Platform may contain references to third-party game providers and payment services. This Privacy Policy applies only to the kwin8 Platform and does not cover the data practices of third-party service providers whose services are integrated into the Platform (such as payment processors and game studios). Each such provider has its own privacy policy governing their data practices. kwin8 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party service providers beyond the contractual data processing obligations we impose on them.

14. Updates to This Privacy Policy

kwin8 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or Platform functionality. When we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify registered players via email or via a prominent notice on the Platform, and will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Non-material changes (such as typographical corrections or clarifications) may be made without advance notice.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the kwin8 Platform following the publication of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
