1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy outlines ikb8's commitment to protecting and managing your personal data as a member of our platform. We understand that your trust is the most valuable asset we hold, and we never take this responsibility lightly.

Ikb8 is an online entertainment platform operating for Malaysian players under a valid international licence. In the course of daily operations, we collect certain personal information from members to ensure a safe, fair, and high-quality service. This Privacy Policy clearly explains the types of information we collect, why it is collected, how it is used, and your rights as the owner of that data.

This policy should be read together with Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy which together form the entire agreement between you and ikb8.

2. Information We Collect

Ikb8 collects your personal information through several different means throughout your interaction with our platform. The type of information collected depends on the services you use and your account verification stage.

We only collect information that is strictly necessary to operate our services safely and meet our legal obligations. No excess data is collected without a clear reason.

3. How We Use Your Data

Every piece of information we collect is used responsibly and only for the purposes stated. The following are the primary uses of your personal data on the ikb8 platform:

• Account management — Processes registration, verifies identity, and maintains accurate records of your account.
• Transaction processing — Ensures deposits and withdrawals are processed correctly, securely, and promptly to the rightful account.

• Service improvement — Analyses aggregated non-identifiable data to improve the overall user experience.

4. Sharing Information with Third Parties

Ikb8 does not sell, rent, or disclose your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, in operating a safe and lawful platform, we may need to share certain information with the following categories of parties in limited circumstances:

• Payment providers — Local banks, e-wallet operators, and payment processors that handle your financial transactions. They receive only the information required to complete those transactions.
• Game software providers — Registered gaming companies that provide Slot Games, Live Casino, and other game content. Data sharing is kept to a minimum and is subject to strict confidentiality agreements.
• Regulatory bodies & law enforcement — When required by law, court order, or a competent regulatory authority, ikb8 will disclose the necessary information.
• Identity verification services — Third-party KYC providers who assist us in verifying member identities in accordance with international compliance requirements.

All third parties we work with are required to comply with data protection standards equal to or higher than our own. A binding written agreement is mandatory for every data-sharing partnership.

7. Identity Verification (KYC)

As a platform operating to international standards, ikb8 is required to carry out a Know Your Customer (KYC) process for all members who wish to make withdrawals or reach certain transaction limits. This process is a key step in combating money laundering and ensuring the safety of all members.

Documents that may be requested during the KYC process:

• Valid national ID (MyKad) or passport
• Recent bank statement (not older than 3 months) for bank account verification
• Utility bill or recent proof of residence document
• Selfie with identity document (if required)

The KYC process is typically completed within 1 to 24 hours after complete documents are received. Once verification is complete, you will receive an email notification and may proceed with withdrawals without restriction.

8. Your Rights Over Personal Data

As an ikb8 member, you have clear and enforceable rights over your personal data. We fully respect these rights and provide straightforward mechanisms for you to exercise them:

To exercise any of the above rights, contact the ikb8 support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. We will process your request within 30 working days.

9. Data Retention Period

Ikb8 only retains your personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law. Retention periods vary by data type:

• Active account data — Retained for as long as your account is active on the ikb8 platform.
• Financial transaction records — Retained for a minimum of 5 years after a transaction occurs, in accordance with anti-money laundering legal requirements.
