Welcome to the km8 Privacy Policy page. At km8, we understand that privacy is more than just a word in a document — it is a real responsibility we take seriously every day. When you entrust your personal data to us, we are committed to handling it with care, transparency, and security. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we need it, how it is used, and the full rights you hold as our player. This document applies to all users of km8.plus and the km8 mobile app, regardless of whether you are simply browsing, registering an account, or actively playing.

1. How We Collect Your Information

KM8 collects information through several different channels, each with a specific purpose. We do not collect data covertly or without your knowledge — all data collection is conducted openly and for legitimate reasons.

Account Registration: When you register a KM8 account, we collect information you provide directly, such as your full name, email address, phone number, date of birth, and password. This information is required to establish a unique account identity and ensure the security of your account.

Platform Usage: While you use the km8 platform — whether placing bets, checking results, or browsing promotions — our systems automatically record those activities as part of transaction records and security logs.

KYC (Know Your Customer) Process: To meet compliance requirements and enable fund withdrawals, you will need to submit an identity document such as a MyKad or passport, along with proof of current address. These documents are collected securely through an encrypted upload portal within our platform.

Financial Transactions: Every time you make a deposit or withdrawal via FPX, Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks, Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, or USDT, our system records the transaction details for audit, legal compliance, and security purposes.

Device & Network: We automatically collect technical information including IP address, browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and session data. This information is used to detect suspicious activity and ensure a consistent user experience.

We never purchase email lists or collect your data from external sources without your explicit consent. All data we hold comes directly from your interactions with the KM8 platform.

2. Types of Data We Collect

For greater clarity, here is a detailed table of the data categories collected by km8:

Data Category Example Information Basis for Collection
Identity Data Full name, MyKad number, date of birth, gender KYC & legal compliance
Contact Data Email address, phone number, residential address Account management & communications
Financial Data Deposit, withdrawal, bank name, and digital wallet type records Transaction processing & audit
Technical Data IP address, device type, OS version, session cookies Platform security & performance
Activity Data Betting history, games played, and login timestamps Personalised services & compliance
Communication Data Live chat conversation, support ticket, and email records Customer service improvement

We only collect data that is strictly necessary for platform operations and legal compliance. Any data that is no longer required will be deleted in accordance with our data retention schedule as outlined in Section 8.

3. How We Use Your Data

KM8 uses collected data solely for legitimate and transparent purposes. We never use your data for purposes unrelated to platform services without obtaining your separate consent.

Account Management & Security: Your identity and contact data is used to verify your identity, protect your account from unauthorized access, and ensure that only you can access the funds and personal information within the account.

Transaction Processing: Every deposit and withdrawal requires accurate financial records to ensure funds reach the correct destination within the promised timeframe. Your financial data is also used to verify the source of funds where required by law.

Legal Compliance & Anti-Money Laundering (AML): KM8 is required to comply with legal obligations related to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing. Your data is used to monitor suspicious transaction patterns and report to the relevant authorities when required by law.

User Experience Enhancement: Activity and technical data enable the KM8 team to understand how players use the platform, identify areas for improvement, and deliver relevant game or promotion recommendations to you.

Communications & Support: We use your email address and phone number to send important account notices, policy updates, and customer support responses. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time.

Responsible Gaming: Your betting activity data is used by our systems to detect patterns that may indicate problem gambling, and to activate deposit limit or self-exclusion tools that you have requested.

4. Sharing Information with Third Parties

KM8 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own commercial purposes. This is our non-negotiable commitment. However, there are certain situations where data sharing is necessary and legally permissible:

  • Payment Service Providers: To process your financial transactions via FPX, digital wallets, or bank transfer, we need to share minimal transaction information with authorised payment gateways. They are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Platform Technology Providers: Parts of km8's technical infrastructure are supported by trusted cloud service and technology providers. They only access data within the scope of their technical work and are prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.
  • Authorities & Law Enforcement: KM8 will disclose required information to Malaysian authorities when mandated by a court order, legal requirement, or legitimate criminal investigation. We will not disclose more than what is required by the relevant order.
  • Sports Data Providers: To ensure accurate sports odds and results, we use authorised third-party data services. No player personal data is shared in this process.

Every third-party provider we work with has undergone a security assessment process and is bound by a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) that obligates them to protect your data to the same or higher standard as km8 itself.

5. Data Security and Protection

Protecting your data is the highest technical priority in KM8's operations. We continuously invest in security infrastructure to ensure your data remains safe at all times, whether in transit or at rest.

Encryption in Transit: All communication between your device and km8's servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 protocol with 256-bit SSL encryption. This means that even if someone manages to intercept your network traffic, the data they see is nothing but unreadable text.

Storage Encryption: Sensitive data such as identification numbers, bank details, and passwords are stored in databases encrypted with the AES-256 algorithm. Your password is stored as a one-way hash that cannot be decrypted, even by KM8 staff.

Internal Access Controls: Only KM8 staff who require access to specific data to perform their duties will be granted access permissions. Our systems operate on the principle of least privilege — each employee has access only to the data necessary for their role.

24/7 Security Monitoring: Our automated threat detection system monitors all platform activity at all times to detect any unauthorised access attempts, cyberattacks, or suspicious behaviour in real time.

Incident Response: In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, KM8 will notify you and the relevant authorities within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

KM8 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly, improve performance, and deliver a better experience for you. The following are the types of cookies we use:

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are required for core platform functions such as maintaining your login session, saving language preferences, and ensuring session security. They cannot be disabled without affecting platform functionality.
  • Performance Cookies: We use analytics cookies to understand how users interact with the platform — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where users encounter difficulties. This data is used in aggregate form and does not personally identify you.
  • Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the platform to remember your preferences, such as your favourite bet types, odds display settings, and chosen display format, to deliver a more personalised experience.
  • Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies: Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are stored for a longer period (typically 30 to 365 days) to recognise you on future visits.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies may affect platform functionality or prevent login.

KM8 does not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels to monitor your activity outside our platform. Our tracking is limited to activity within the km8.plus ecosystem only.

3
Right to Erasure
You may request the deletion of your personal data. Please note that some data must be retained for legal compliance purposes even after account closure.
4

You may request that we restrict the processing of your data in certain situations, such as when you dispute the accuracy of the data or object to a specific type of processing.
5
Right to Portability
You have the right to receive your data in a machine-readable format (JSON or CSV) for transfer to another platform if needed.
6

8. Data Retention Period

KM8 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary for the stated purposes or as required by law. The following are our data retention guidelines:

  • Active Account Data: While your account is active, we retain all data necessary to deliver our services effectively.
  • After Account Closure: Core identity and financial transaction data is retained for a minimum of 5 years after account closure to meet financial audit requirements and Malaysia's anti-money laundering laws.
  • KYC Records: Identity verification documents are retained for 7 years in accordance with international financial compliance standards adopted by KM8.
  • Technical Logs: Access and security logs are retained for 12 months for the purpose of security incident investigations where required.
  • Communication Data: Customer support conversation records are retained for 2 years for quality control and dispute resolution purposes.

Once the retention period expires, your data will be securely deleted using an irreversible deletion method, or anonymized if it is still needed for aggregate analytics.

9. Protection of Minors

KM8 is an online gambling platform intended exclusively for individuals aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data of minors or individuals below the stipulated age limit.

During the registration process, we require date of birth verification and KYC verification to ensure all users meet the age requirement. Our system automatically rejects registrations that do not meet the minimum age limit.

If you believe a minor has successfully registered an account, or if you are a parent or guardian who has discovered that a child under your care has accessed this platform, please contact us immediately. We will investigate and close the account in question, and delete all associated data without delay.

KM8 maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards participation by minors. Any account suspected of belonging to an individual under 21 will be immediately suspended and fully investigated.
