Last Updated: 1 January 2026 SSL 256-bit English (en-MY) Complying with Malaysia's PDPA

This Privacy Policy describes the data collection and processing practices of 8k8 (8k8.sx) and complies with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). By using the 8k8 platform, you agree to the terms set out in this Privacy Policy. Please read this document carefully in its entirety.

1. Introduction and Scope of Privacy Policy

8k8 is an online casino platform fully committed to protecting the privacy and personal data security of every member. We understand that your personal information is a trust placed in us that must be handled responsibly, and we never take this lightly.

This Privacy Policy applies to all individuals using the 8k8 platform — including visitors who browse our website, prospective members in the process of registering, and active members making full use of our gaming, deposit, withdrawal, and promotional services. It covers all 8k8 digital touchpoints including the website at 8k8.sx, iOS and Android mobile apps, and any interactions with our customer support team.

The main purpose of this policy is to ensure you clearly understand:

  • What types of personal information we collect from you
  • Why we need it and how it is used in the platform's day-to-day operations
  • Who your information is shared with, if anyone, and under what circumstances
  • How long your information is retained and how it is protected
  • What rights you have as a data owner and how to exercise them

As a platform operating under a recognised licence, 8k8 fully complies with the provisions of Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). We also follow international best practices in data management, including principles aligned with the European GDPR, although we operate primarily for the Malaysian market.

The scope of this policy covers all data collection methods — whether directly (registration forms, KYC process), automatically (cookies, server logs), or via third parties (payment providers, analytics partners).

2. Information We Collect

  • Financial information: Bank account number, e-wallet number, payment card details (metadata only — we do not store full card numbers)
  • Verification documents (KYC): MyKad/passport copy, bank statement, proof of address

2.3 Information from Third Parties

In certain cases, we may receive additional information about you from trusted third-party sources, such as identity verification service providers, payment providers used during transactions, and affiliate platforms that referred you to 8k8. All such information is processed under the same privacy policy and will not be used beyond the scope stated in this document.

3. How We Use Your Data

Every piece of information we collect has a clear and legitimate purpose. 8k8 does not use member data for purposes unrelated to platform operations without your explicit consent. The following are our primary purposes for using your data:

3.1 Account and Service Operations

  • Creating and maintaining your member account

  • Complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements

3.3 Service Improvement

3.4 Marketing Communications

With your consent, we may send you information about promotions, bonus offers, and platform updates via email or in-app notifications. You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time via the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting our support team.

8k8 has never sold members' personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. Your data will not be used for third-party advertising without your explicit consent.

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Data Retention Period

8k8 retains members' personal information for as long as the account remains active or as long as required for service purposes. After an account is closed, we will retain certain records for a minimum period of five (5) years to fulfil legal obligations and financial audit requirements. After this period, data will be securely deleted from all our systems.

4.2 Technical Security Measures

Your data security is our absolute priority. 8k8 implements multiple layers of technical protection to keep your information safe at all times:

  • SSL/TLS 256-bit Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is fully encrypted
  • Data-at-rest encryption: Sensitive information stored in the database is encrypted using AES-256
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA): An additional security layer for login and high-value transactions
  • 24/7 security monitoring: Our security team continuously monitors systems to detect any threats
  • Periodic penetration testing: Independent security audits are conducted periodically by accredited cybersecurity firms
  • Isolated network: Databases containing sensitive information are stored within an internal network that is not directly accessible from the internet

8k8's server infrastructure is hosted in data centres certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II standards, ensuring the highest levels of physical and digital security.

5. Sharing Information with Third Parties

8k8 does not sell, rent, or disclose members' personal information to third parties except in the following clearly defined situations:

5.1 Trusted Service Providers

To operate the platform effectively, 8k8 works with carefully selected third-party service providers. These include payment service providers (such as DuitNow, FPX, and e-wallet providers), gaming software providers (Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and others), as well as KYC and identity verification service providers. All these partners are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use your data for specified purposes.

5.2 Legal and Regulatory Requirements

We may disclose your personal information to relevant authorities when required by law, court order, or a valid official investigation. This includes compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2001 (AMLA) and directives from applicable regulatory bodies.

5.3 Cross-Border Data Transfers

As 8k8 uses global cloud infrastructure, some data may be stored or processed on servers located outside Malaysia. In such cases, we ensure that such data transfers comply with applicable legal requirements and that equivalent protections are in place at the destination.

We do not share member data with parent companies, affiliates, or related corporate entities for cross-marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
