Privacy Policy hbo9 – Your Data Protection

1. Introduction

Welcome to the Privacy Policy page hbo9. We are an online gaming platform operating under a recognized license, committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent playing environment for all our members in Malaysia and worldwide.

This Privacy Policy clearly explains how we collect, use, store, and protect the personal information you provide when registering for or using hbo9 services. By continuing to use our platform, you are deemed to have read and fully understood this policy.

We encourage you to read this document carefully. If any section is unclear, do not hesitate to contact our support team.

2. Information We Collect

During the hbo9 registration and platform usage process, we may collect various types of information, including:

• Identity Information: Full name, date of birth, and identification number (MyKad/Passport) submitted during the KYC verification process.
• Contact Information: Email address, mobile phone number, and residential address.
• Financial Information: Bank account number, bank name, and records of deposit and withdrawal transactions.
• Technical Information: IP address, device type, operating system, web browser used, and login log data.
• Activity Information: Game history, game preferences, wagering records, and wins records.
• Cookie Information: Session data and preferences stored via browser cookies to enhance your browsing experience.

All of this information is collected directly from you, or automatically through your use of our platform. We do not purchase or obtain your information from third-party sources without your knowledge.

3. How We Use Your Information

Information collected is used solely for legitimate purposes related to the operation of the hbo9 platform, including:

• Processing account registration and verifying member identity through the mandatory KYC process.
• Processing deposit and withdrawal transactions securely through our integrated payment channels.
• Providing responsive and targeted customer support.
• Sending account-related notifications, exclusive promotions, service updates, and relevant information if you have agreed to receive them.
• Monitoring activity within the platform to detect any fraud or illegal activity.
• Fulfilling legal obligations imposed by relevant regulatory bodies.
• Improving products, features, and overall user experience based on aggregated usage patterns.

Hbo9 does not use your data to make automated decisions that could negatively affect you without human involvement in the review process.

4. Sharing Information with Third Parties

We understand how sensitive your personal information is. hbo9 does not sell, exchange or rent your personal data to any third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, we may share limited information in the following situations:

• Payment Service Providers: To process your financial transactions securely, we share the necessary information with trusted payment processing partners who have signed confidentiality agreements with us.
• Legal Compliance: If required by a court, regulatory body, or legitimate law enforcement authority, we may be compelled to disclose certain information in accordance with proper procedures.
• Fraud Prevention: To protect the security of our platform and members, certain information may be shared with organisations involved in fraud detection and prevention.
• Group Sharing: Information may be shared within the group of companies associated with hbo9 for internal operational purposes only.

In all of the above cases, we ensure that recipients are bound by confidentiality obligations equivalent to our own standards.

5. Data Security

The security of your data is hbo9's top priority. We implement multiple layers of technical protection to ensure your data remains secure at all times:

• 256-Bit SSL/TLS Encryption for all communications between your browser and our servers.
• Passwords are stored in hashed form using the latest cryptographic algorithms — we ourselves cannot read your original password.
• An intrusion detection system (IDS) is active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to monitor suspicious activity.
• Segregation of sensitive data across separate server environments to reduce the risk of large-scale exposure.
• Regular security audits conducted by independent internal and external cybersecurity teams.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) is available for all member accounts as an additional layer of security.

While we make every effort, no system can guarantee absolute 100% security. In the event of any data breach that may affect you, we will notify you within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

6. Data Retention Period

Hbo9 retains your personal data for as long as your account remains active or as long as necessary to provide our services. Once an account is closed, we will retain certain records for the period required by applicable law — typically between five and seven years — for compliance, financial audit, and fraud prevention purposes.

Once the mandatory retention period has ended, your data will be permanently deleted or anonymised from our systems so it can no longer be linked to your identity.

7. Your Rights as a User

As an hbo9 member, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you at any time.
• Right to Rectification: If any of your information is inaccurate or outdated, you have the right to request immediate correction.
• Right to Erasure: Under certain circumstances, you may request that your data be deleted from our systems, subject to any legal obligations binding upon us.
• Right to Restriction of Processing: You may request that we restrict how we process your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: For data processed based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the validity of prior processing.
