Your personal data belongs to you. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what play8 collects, why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you hold over your own information as a play8 player.
All data transmitted between your device and the play8 platform is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by major Malaysian banks.
Identity documents submitted for KYC verification are stored encrypted, accessed only by authorised compliance staff, and never used beyond regulatory requirements.
play8 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for commercial or marketing purposes — full stop.
You have the right to access, correct, restrict, or request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting play8's support team.
play8 applies a data minimisation principle — we only collect information that is strictly necessary for account management, payment processing, and regulatory compliance.
Cookies are used only for session management and basic analytics. We do not deploy third-party advertising trackers or behavioural profiling cookies on the play8 platform.

The play8 Platform uses cookies and similar technologies (including local storage and session tokens) to enable core platform functions and to gather basic usage analytics. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser.
play8 does not deploy third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media tracking scripts, or behavioural profiling technologies on the Platform. We do not participate in real-time bidding networks or cross-site audience targeting.
You may manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to your play8 account.

play8 will respond to all verifiable data subject requests within 30 days of receipt. For complex or multi-faceted requests, we may extend this period by a further 60 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reasons for it within the initial 30-day period.
The play8 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. play8 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals below the age of 21. Age is verified as part of the KYC process prior to the processing of any withdrawal.
If play8 becomes aware, through any means, that a registered account holder is below the age of 21, the account will be immediately suspended, all deposits refunded to the original payment method where possible, and any wagering activity declared void. The personal data of the underage individual will be deleted from play8's systems as promptly as permitted by applicable law.
In connection with the operation of the play8 Platform and the engagement of third-party service providers, personal data may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in jurisdictions outside Malaysia. Where such transfers occur, play8 takes the following safeguards to ensure that your data receives an equivalent level of protection:
The play8 Platform does not host third-party advertising or links to external websites. The Platform is a self-contained environment. However, where you access the Platform via a third-party device application, browser extension, or other intermediary technology not provided or controlled by play8, those third-party services may independently collect data about your behaviour in accordance with their own privacy policies.
play8 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party software or services not operated by play8. We recommend reviewing the privacy documentation of any third-party tool you use to access online services.
play8 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or regulatory guidance. Where material changes are made, play8 will notify affected players via the email address registered to their account, or via a prominent notice on the Platform, not less than 14 days before the changes take effect.
The effective date at the top of this Policy indicates when the current version was last updated. Continued use of the Platform following the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised Policy. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data by play8, please contact us through the following channels. All privacy-related enquiries are handled in strict confidence.
play8 takes all data privacy enquiries seriously. If you feel that your concern has not been adequately addressed following contact with our support team, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the relevant data protection supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.
