Privacy Policy 888new — Your Data Security

At 888new, user privacy is not merely a legal obligation — it is a genuine commitment. This document explains exactly how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information as a user of our platform.

Last Updated: 1 January 2026

01 Introduction

888new operates as an online gaming platform that prioritises user safety and trust. As part of our operations, we process certain personal information shared by users when registering, using our services, or interacting with our platform. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what we collect, why it is needed, and how it is protected.

We comply with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and international data protection standards. This means you have clear rights over your information, and we cannot use your data arbitrarily without a legitimate and transparent basis.

By using the 888new platform — whether via the website or mobile App — you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of our services.

Our Commitment: 888new does not sell, rent, or trade users' personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

02 Information We Collect

We collect various categories of information depending on how you interact with the platform. All data collection is carried out on a minimum-necessity basis — we only request what is strictly required to provide a safe, high-quality service.

Data Categories Example Information Resources
Identity Full name, date of birth, MyKad/passport number Provided by user (KYC)
Contact Mobile phone number, email address Provided during registration
Financial Bank account number, deposit/withdrawal records Provided during transactions
Technical IP address, device type, web browser, OS Collected automatically
Usage Game history, activity logs, platform preferences Generated during usage
Communications Customer support logs, feedback Provided during communications

We do not collect sensitive information such as biometric data, medical records, or political affiliations. Information collected automatically (such as IP addresses and device data) is used solely for security purposes and to improve the user experience.

03 How We Use Your Data

Every piece of information we collect has a specific and legitimate purpose. Below are the primary uses of your data on the 888new platform:

  • Account Management: To create and maintain your account, including identity verification through the KYC process required for the security of all parties.
  • Transaction Processing: To process deposits and withdrawals securely, verify ownership of payment methods, and maintain complete financial records.
  • Platform Security: To detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, unauthorised access, and activities that violate the platform's terms.
  • Customer Support: To understand and resolve your queries or complaints more quickly and accurately based on your account context.
  • Legal Compliance: To fulfil reporting obligations to the relevant authorities when required by law.
  • Service Improvement: To analyse usage patterns in aggregate (not individually) to improve platform design, speed, and the overall user experience.
  • Service Communications: To send important notifications relating to your account, changes to terms, or relevant security reminders.

888new does not use your personal data to make automated decisions that affect your rights without appropriate human oversight.

04 Legal Basis for Data Processing

In accordance with Malaysia's PDPA 2010, 888new only processes your personal data on valid legal grounds. We do not process your data arbitrarily — every instance of processing must have a clear justification:

  • Contract Performance: Most data processing is necessary to provide the services you request — such as opening an account, processing deposits, and enabling you to play.
  • Legal Obligations: Certain data must be retained to meet legal requirements, including anti-money laundering (AML) and KYC regulations.
  • Legitimate Interests: We process technical and usage data for security and fraud prevention purposes, which constitute our legitimate interests as a platform operator.
  • Consent: For optional marketing and promotional communications, we require your explicit consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time.

05 Data Sharing with Third Parties

888new does not share your personal information with third parties except in limited and lawful circumstances. The following are the parties who may receive portions of your data, and the reasons why:

  • Payment Providers: Minimum transaction data is shared with payment providers such as banks and digital wallets to securely process your deposits and withdrawals.
  • KYC Verification Providers: Identity documents are shared with trusted third-party verification services that comply with strict security standards.
  • Infrastructure Providers: The hosting and cloud computing services we use may process your data as part of their technical operations, subject to strict data processing agreements.
  • Legal Authorities: We will disclose data when required by law, court order, or a valid request from the relevant enforcement agency.

All third parties working with 888new are required to meet data protection standards equal to or higher than our own privacy policy. We do not permit third parties to use your data for their own purposes outside the scope of services they provide to us.

Guarantee: 888new has never and will never sell users' personal information to advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for commercial purposes.

06 Data Encryption & Security Measures

Protecting your data is our top technical priority. 888new invests in high-grade security infrastructure to keep your information safe at every stage — in transit, in processing, and in storage.

  • 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All communications between your device and 888new servers are encrypted using the latest SSL/TLS protocols, preventing any party from intercepting data in transit.
  • Data-at-Rest Encryption: Sensitive data such as financial information and KYC documents are encrypted at rest in our database using AES-256 encryption.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Users are encouraged to enable 2FA for an extra layer of security, ensuring only you can access your account.
  • Continuous Monitoring: Our threat detection system operates 24/7 to identify and respond to any unauthorised access attempts or suspicious activity.
  • Internal Access Controls: Access to user data within 888new is strictly limited according to the principle of least privilege — only those who genuinely need it may access specific data.
  • Periodic Security Audits: Our platform undergoes regular independent security audits to identify and address any vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

While we do everything within our power to protect your data, no system is 100% impenetrable. We encourage users to also take responsibility for their account security by using strong passwords and not sharing their login credentials.

07 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The 888new platform uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure a smooth and secure user experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you use our website or app.

  • Essential Cookies: Required for core platform functions such as maintaining your Login session and remembering language preferences. Without these cookies, the platform cannot function properly.
  • Security Cookies: To help us identify and prevent fraudulent activity and unauthorised access to your account.
  • Performance Cookies: To collect information on how users interact with the platform in aggregate (without identifying individuals) to help us improve speed and usability.
  • Preference Cookies: To save your personal settings such as display preferences and account settings so you do not need to reconfigure them every time you log in.

You can manage or delete cookies through your web browser settings. Please note that removing essential cookies may affect platform functionality. The 888new mobile App uses local storage technology similar to cookies for the same purposes.

08 Data Retention Period

888new does not retain your personal data longer than necessary. Retention periods vary by data category and applicable legal requirements:

  • Active Account Data: Retained for the duration your account is active and up to 7 years after account closure, in line with anti-money laundering legal requirements.
  • Financial Transaction Records: Retained for 7 years as required by Malaysian financial regulations.
  • KYC Documents: Retained for the period prescribed by law, typically 5 to 7 years after the business relationship ends.
  • Communication Logs: Customer support logs are retained for 2 years for reference and service improvement purposes.
  • Technical Data: Server logs and usage data are retained for 90 days for security and troubleshooting purposes.

Once the retention period expires, data will be securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked to your identity. If you request account closure, this process will begin once all legal obligations have been fulfilled.

09 Your Rights as a User

Under the PDPA 2010 and international data protection standards, you have the following rights regarding your personal information held by 888new:

10 Children's Privacy

The 888new platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect, store, or process personal information from minors.

If you believe that someone under the age of 18 has registered an account using a false identity or an adult's identity without authorisation, please contact us immediately. We will investigate and close the account within 24 hours, and promptly delete all associated data.

Our KYC process is specifically designed to detect and prevent registration by minors. Any account suspected of belonging to a minor will be suspended immediately pending verification.

11 Privacy Policy Amendments

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our privacy practices, new legal requirements, or changes to the services we offer.

When we make significant changes, we will notify you via in-app notification or your registered email at least 14 days before the changes take effect. For minor changes that do not affect your fundamental rights, we may only update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.

Continued use of the 888new platform after any Privacy Policy changes take effect constitutes acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
