1Malaysia 8 Privacy Commitment

Six core principles that shape how we manage the personal data of every member on our platform

Bank-Level Encryption

All personal data and financial transaction information transmitted through the 1Malaysia 8 platform is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same security standard used by Malaysia's major banking institutions such as Maybank and CIMB. This means your data cannot be read by third parties during transmission.

No Sale of Data to Third Parties

1Malaysia 8 has never and will never sell our members' personal information to any third party for marketing or any other commercial purpose without your express and explicit consent. Your data belongs to you — we are merely its custodian for the purposes set out in this policy.

Your Data, Your Control

Every 1Malaysia 8 member has the full right to access, amend, transfer, or request the deletion of their personal data at any time. These rights can be exercised through your account settings or by contacting our support team directly.

Minimum Data Collection

We only collect information that is genuinely necessary to provide you with 1Malaysia 8 services. No information is collected merely as a precaution or for undefined purposes. Every piece of data we collect has a specific purpose that is clearly stated in this policy.

Clear Data Retention Periods

Your data will not be kept indefinitely. 1Malaysia 8 sets clear retention periods for each data category, based on operational needs and legal obligations. Once the retention period expires and there is no legal requirement to keep it, the data will be securely deleted or anonymised.

Timely Incident Notification

In the unlikely event of a data security breach affecting your personal information, 1Malaysia 8 is committed to notifying affected members within 72 hours of detecting the incident, in line with industry best practices for data protection.

Important Note: This Privacy Policy applies to all services provided by the 1Malaysia 8 platform, including the website, mobile app, and any related services. By using our platform, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1 Introduction

1Malaysia 8 ("we", "the company", or "the platform") takes the privacy of every member who uses our Sports Betting and online casino platform seriously. This Privacy Policy transparently explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use 1Malaysia 8's services.

This policy is prepared in compliance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and international data protection best practices. We are committed to ensuring your personal information is handled responsibly, transparently, and securely at all times.

When we refer to "personal data" in this document, we mean any information that can be used to identify you directly or indirectly — including your name, phone number, email address, financial information, and your usage history on the 1Malaysia 8 platform.

This document was last updated on 1 January 2026 and supersedes all previous versions of the 1Malaysia 8 Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed of any recent changes.

2 Types of Personal Data We Collect

3 How We Collect Personal Data

1Malaysia 8 collects your personal data through several different channels:

  • During Registration: When you create a new account at 1Malaysia 8, you provide the basic identity and contact information required to set up your account;

  • Via Communications with Us: When you contact customer support via live chat, email, or other channels, those communications are recorded for quality assurance and issue resolution purposes;
  • Via Cookies and Similar Technologies: Our platform uses cookies and other tracking technologies to collect data on your usage and preferences — this is explained in greater detail in Section 8.

1Malaysia 8 has never purchased personal data lists from third parties or obtained your personal data from sources unknown to you. All data we hold has been provided directly or indirectly by you through your use of the platform.

4 Purpose of Personal Data Use

1Malaysia 8 uses collected personal data solely for the following legitimate and stated purposes:

We do not use your personal data for any other purpose without first obtaining your consent. If we wish to use your data for a new purpose not covered by this policy, we will notify you and request your consent before doing so.

5 Data Sharing & Disclosure

1Malaysia 8 does not sell or rent your personal data to any third party. However, we may share your personal data in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We share necessary data with payment service providers (such as processors for Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow, FPX) and technical service providers who assist us in operating the platform. All such third parties are bound by strict data protection agreements;
  • Legal Obligations: We will disclose data where required to do so under Malaysian law, by court order, or upon instruction from a competent authority such as Bank Negara Malaysia or law enforcement agencies;
  • Rights Protection: We reserve the right to disclose data to protect the rights, property, or safety of 1Malaysia 8, our members, or the public when required;
  • Business Transfer: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of company assets, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Our Guarantee: In all of the situations above, 1Malaysia 8 only shares the minimum personal data necessary for the stated purpose. We do not share your betting history or casino gaming information with any third party without your consent, except where required by law.

6 Data Security

Protecting your personal data is an absolute priority for 1Malaysia 8. We implement a range of technical and organisational security measures to safeguard your data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction:

  • 256-bit SSL Encryption: All data communications between your device and our servers are encrypted using industry-standard TLS/SSL protocols;
  • Data-at-Rest Encryption: Sensitive data stored in our databases, including financial information and identity verification documents, is encrypted using recognised encryption algorithms;
  • Layered Access Controls: Access to personal data within our internal systems is restricted to staff who require it to perform their duties, with strict access monitoring in place;
  • Continuous Security Monitoring: Our systems are monitored around the clock to detect any suspicious activity or unauthorised access attempts;
  • Regular Penetration Testing: We conduct regular security testing, including vulnerability assessments and penetration testing by independent third-party security experts;
  • Staff Training: All 1Malaysia 8 staff with access to personal data receive regular data protection training.

While we make every effort to protect your data, no security system can be guaranteed 100% secure. In the unlikely event of a security incident, we are committed to responding promptly and notifying affected users within the stipulated timeframe.

You also play an important role in keeping your data secure. Always use a strong, unique password for your 1Malaysia 8 account, never share your login credentials with anyone, and contact us immediately if you suspect any suspicious activity on your account.

Frequently Asked Questions About 1Malaysia 8 Data Privacy

The most frequently asked questions from our members about how we manage their personal data

No. 1Malaysia 8 does not store your credit card numbers or bank account details directly in our systems. All financial transactions are processed through recognised third-party payment gateways, such as processors for Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow, and FPX (Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks). Your sensitive financial information is handled directly by those payment service providers in accordance with their own security standards. What we retain in our systems are transaction records only — such as amounts, dates, transaction status, and payment method used — not your full card or account details.

Yes, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data. However, this right is not absolute — certain data must be retained under Malaysian law, particularly financial and transaction records which are required to be kept for seven years for legal and tax compliance purposes. When you submit a deletion request, we will delete or anonymise all data not subject to those legal obligations. Data that must be retained for legal reasons will have its access and use restricted to compliance purposes only. To submit a data deletion request, contact us by email at support@1malaysia8.com with "Data Deletion Request" in the subject line, along with your account number.

1Malaysia 8 does not use your personal data for third-party targeted advertising or sell your profile to advertisers. We may use aggregated, anonymised usage data to better understand our user base and improve the experience within our own platform. Any marketing communications we send you — such as emails about promotions or new bonuses — are based on the consent you provided at registration and are subject to opt-in preferences that you can update at any time from your account settings.

When you close your 1Malaysia 8 account, we will initiate the account closure data management process. Data not subject to any legal obligations or legitimate business requirements will be deleted within 90 days of account closure. Financial records and transaction histories will be retained for seven years in accordance with Malaysian legal requirements. During this mandatory retention period, access to and use of this data will be restricted solely to legal compliance and audit purposes. Once the statutory retention period expires, all remaining data will be securely deleted or anonymised. If you close your account and later wish to re-register, you will need to go through the registration and identity verification process again.

Mobile access security is a priority for us, given that over 78% of 1Malaysia 8 users access the platform via smartphone. Our mobile app uses the same encryption as our website — 256-bit SSL for all data communications. We do not permanently store login credentials or session tokens on your device without appropriate protection. Our app also supports biometric authentication (fingerprint or facial recognition) on compatible devices, adding an extra layer of security. For best security practices, we recommend always using the latest version of the 1Malaysia 8 app, enabling a screen lock on your device, and avoiding access to your account over public WiFi networks without additional protection.

Personal Data & Responsible Gambling

One aspect of how we use personal data at 1Malaysia 8 that you should be aware of relates to responsible gambling. We use your gaming history and usage pattern data internally to help identify early signs of problematic gambling behaviour — this forms part of our commitment to member wellbeing.

If our system detects concerning patterns — such as a sudden spike in betting frequency or amounts, unusually long playing sessions, or loss-chasing behaviour — our team may proactively reach out to offer support and information on available assistance resources.

Important Notice: This platform is for individuals aged 21 and above only. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, please contact 1-800-888-728 or visit Responsible Gaming page us.
