Section 10
Subject to applicable data protection law, you have the following rights in relation to the personal data that play888 holds about you:
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, together with information about how it is being processed. Requests will be fulfilled within 30 days of receipt.
If you believe any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected or updated. You may update certain account details directly via your account profile page.
You may request that we delete your personal data in circumstances where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, you have withdrawn consent (where processing is consent-based), or you object to processing and there is no overiding legitimate interest. Please note that this right is subject to exceptions where retention is required by law (for example, financial transaction records must be retained for regulatory purposes).
You have the right to request that we restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while a dispute about the accuracy of your data is being resolved.
Where processing is based on consent or the performance of a contract and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data where that processing is based on legitimate interests, including processing for direct marketing purposes. If you object to direct marketing, we will cease processing your data for that purpose immediately.
To exercise any of the rights listed above, please contact our Data Privacy team at the details provided in Section 15. We will acknowledge your request within 5 business days and provide a substantive response within 30 days. We do not charge a fee for rights requests unless they are manifestly unfounded or excessive.
Section 11
The play888 Platform is strictly intended for use by adults aged21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory step in the account registration process, and additional identity verification may be requested at any time to confirm compliance with this requirement.
If play888 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21, the associated account will be suspended immediately, all balances frozen pending investigation, and the personal data in question deleted in accordance with applicable law. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has created an account on our Platform, please contact us immediately at the details in Section 15.
Section 12
play888 operates with the assistance of third-party service providers who may process personal data in jurisdictions outside Malaysia. Where personal data is transferred internationally, play888 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the data to standards equivalent to those required in Malaysia.
Such safeguards may include contractual data protection clauses incorporated into agreements with all third-party processors, ensuring they are bound by data protection obligations consistent with this Policy and applicable law. play888 does not transfer personal data to countries or jurisdictions that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without implementing appropriate contractual safeguards.
Section 13
The play888 Platform may contain references to or functionality provided by third-party services such as payment gateways (DuitNow, FPX, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, Hong Leong). When you interact with these third-party services — for example, when completing a payment transaction — you are subject to the privacy policies and terms of the respective third-party provider.
play888 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party service providers and does not control how they collect, use, or share your data. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with in connection with your use of the Platform.
Section 14
play888 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, our data processing practices, or the services we offer. When material changes are made, we will notify registered Players via email to the address on file or by prominent notice on the Platform, with a minimum of seven (7) days' advance notice before the updated Policy takes effect.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised to reflect the date of the most recent amendment. Your continued use of the Platform following the effective date of any updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
