BC88 Privacy Policy – Personal Data Protection for Malaysian Players

1. Introduction & Scope of BC88's Privacy Policy

BC88 is an online betting platform operating for Malaysian players. We understand that when you register an account, make a deposit via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow or FPX, and play your favourite games — whether that's Malaysia Super League football, badminton, slots or live casino — you are entrusting us with your personal information.

Trust is not something BC88 takes lightly. This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected through the BC88 website, mobile app, email communications, live chat and any other channels operated by BC88. It applies regardless of whether you are a registered member or simply a visitor browsing our platform.

2. Personal Data BC88 Collects

BC88 collects various types of data depending on how you interact with our platform. The following are the categories of data we collect:

BC88 does not collect data classified as sensitive — such as health information, religious beliefs or political views — except in very specific circumstances and only with your explicit prior consent.

3. How BC88 Collects Your Data

BC88 collects your personal data through several channels and methods:

• Account Registration: When you register a BC88 account, you provide basic information directly — including your name, phone number, email address and password.
• Identity Verification: When a KYC (Know Your Customer) process is required, you may be asked to upload a copy of your MyKad or other supporting documents for verification.
• Financial Transactions: Every time you make a deposit via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow or FPX, the relevant transaction details are automatically recorded in BC88's system.
• Platform Usage: BC88's systems automatically record your gaming activity — games played, bet amounts, outcomes and session duration — for operational purposes and the VIP programme.
• Device & Browser: Technical information such as your IP address, device type and browser is collected automatically when you access the BC88 platform.
• Communications: When you contact the BC88 support team via live chat or email, the content of that communication is stored for record-keeping and service improvement purposes.
• Cookies & Similar Technologies: BC88 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance the user experience and analyse platform usage patterns. Further details are provided in Section 9.

4. How BC88 Uses Your Data

BC88 uses your personal data only for legitimate, clearly defined purposes. The following are the primary purposes for which your data is used:

• Account Management: Creates and manages your BC88 account, processes logins and enables you to access all platform features.
• Transaction Processing: Your deposits and withdrawals are processed securely and accurately through your preferred Malaysian payment method.
• Identity Verification & Compliance: Conducting KYC and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks as required by Malaysian law for all financial platforms.
• VIP Rewards Programme: Calculating and managing your VIP points, determining your VIP tier eligibility, and applying the appropriate cashback benefits and rewards.
• Security & Fraud Prevention: Identifying and preventing fraudulent activity, multiple account usage, money laundering and other security threats.
• Responsible Gaming: Monitoring gameplay patterns to identify signs of problem gambling and, where necessary, reaching out to members who may need support.
• Customer Support: Enabling the BC88 support team to provide relevant, personalized assistance based on your account history.
• Marketing Communications: Sending information about BC88's latest promotions, bonuses and offers — only if you have opted in to receive such communications.
• Platform Improvement: Analyzing aggregated usage patterns to understand what is working well and what needs improvement on the BC88 platform.

5. Sharing Data with Third Parties

BC88 does not sell your personal data to any third party. However, there are limited situations where BC88 needs to share your data with other parties:

• Payment Service Providers: eWallet providers (Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow) and banks (for FPX) receive the transaction information necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. They are bound by their own privacy and security policies.
• Game Providers: Third-party game software providers that supply Live Casino, slots and other games on the BC88 platform may receive limited game session data for operational purposes.
• Legal Authorities: BC88 will disclose the necessary data to competent authorities when required by Malaysian law or a valid court order.
• Platform Enforcement: In cases involving fraud investigations or Terms violations, BC88 may share relevant information with security service providers or other related platforms for cross-platform fraud prevention purposes.
• Business Transfers: Should BC88 undergo any corporate restructuring, user data may be transferred to a successor entity — in such cases, you will be notified in advance.

In all cases where data is shared with legitimate third parties, BC88 ensures that such sharing is governed by appropriate confidentiality agreements and data processing agreements to keep your data protected at all times.

6. Data Security at BC88

BC88 invests seriously in security infrastructure to protect your personal data. The security measures we have put in place include:

• 256-bit SSL Encryption: All communications between your device and BC88's servers are encrypted using the latest TLS/SSL protocols, making your data unreadable to unauthorized parties during transmission.
• Hashed Password Storage: Your password is never stored in plain text. BC88 uses strong hashing algorithms to store passwords — meaning even internal staff cannot read your password.
• Strict Access Controls: Access to member data within BC88's systems is restricted to staff who require it to perform their duties, and all access is logged for audit purposes.
• 24/7 Monitoring: BC88's systems are continuously monitored for unusual activity and unauthorised access attempts. Any suspicious security events are investigated promptly.
• Two-Factor Authentication: BC88 offers two-factor authentication (2FA) for members who want to add an extra layer of security to their account.
• Regular Security Audits: The BC88 platform undergoes regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments by independent security experts to identify and address any weaknesses before they can be exploited.

7. Data Retention & Deletion

BC88 retains your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or for as long as required under applicable Malaysian law.

• Active Account Data: For as long as your account remains active with BC88, your personal data and account history will be retained to ensure smooth platform operations.
• Data After Account Closure: When you close your BC88 account, we retain the necessary data for the period required by law — typically between 5 and 7 years for financial records, in line with Malaysian legal requirements.
• Communication Data: Live chat logs and support emails are retained for 2 years for service quality and dispute resolution purposes.
• Technical Data: Access logs and technical data are retained for 12 months before being deleted or anonymized.

Once the specified retention period has elapsed, BC88 will securely delete or anonymise your data using methods that ensure it cannot be recovered or re-identified.

If you wish to request deletion of your personal data before the standard retention period expires, please contact us through the channels listed in Section 12. Deletion requests will be considered taking into account BC88's legal obligations to retain certain records.

• Right to Object to Marketing: You have the right to object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time, without needing to provide any justification.
• Right to Data Portability: You may request BC88 to provide your personal data in a machine-readable format (such as CSV) so that you can transfer it to another platform if you choose.
