4. Sharing of Personal Information
Poka88 does not sell, rent, or disclose members' personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. However, there are limited circumstances in which we may need to share your data with specific parties:
4.1 Trusted Service Providers
We share the necessary data with service providers that support Poka88's operations, including payment processors for Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, DuitNow, and FPX, server infrastructure providers, and identity verification companies. All such providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are permitted to use your data only for the specific purposes defined.
4.2 Legal Requirements
Poka88 may be required to disclose certain information when ordered to do so by a court, Malaysian government authority, or lawful law enforcement body. In such circumstances, we will disclose only the minimum information necessary and, where permitted by law, notify you of the disclosure.
4.3 Platform Protection
In cases where there is a serious threat to the security of the platform or other members — for example, identity fraud involving multiple accounts across different platforms — Poka88 may share the necessary information with other platforms or relevant authorities for mutual protection purposes.
Important Notice: Poka88 will never ask for your password or account PIN via email, SMS, or live chat. If you receive any such communication claiming to be from Poka88, please disregard it and report it to our support team immediately.
5. Data Security Measures
Poka88 continuously invests in security infrastructure to ensure our members' personal data is protected at all times. The key measures we have in place include:
5.1 Data Encryption
All communications between your browser and the Poka88 platform are encrypted using TLS 1.3 with AES-256 encryption keys. This means that even if data in transit were intercepted, it would be unreadable to any third party. Member passwords are never stored in plain text — they are stored as irreversible hashes.
5.2 Internal Access Controls
Access to databases and systems containing Poka88 member information is restricted to staff who genuinely require it to perform their job responsibilities. All access is automatically logged and monitored. Poka88 staff undergo background checks and regular data security training.
5.3 Regular Security Audits
Poka88's infrastructure undergoes penetration testing and security audits by independent cybersecurity firms at least twice a year. Any vulnerabilities identified are addressed promptly in accordance with established risk management protocols.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Poka88 platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience. Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit our platform. They help Poka88 remember your preferences, keep your login session secure, and ensure a consistent experience across visits.

7. Your Privacy Rights as a Poka88 Member

8. Data Retention and Deletion
Poka88 retains members' personal data for as long as their account remains active and for any period required after account closure in accordance with legal and operational obligations. Generally, transaction records and identity verification information are kept for the duration prescribed by applicable law, while non-critical preference data and gaming activity will be deleted or anonymised once the designated retention period has elapsed.
When the retention period expires or upon receipt of a valid deletion request, Poka88 will securely delete or anonymise your data so that it can no longer be associated with you as an individual. Our secure deletion process ensures that data cannot be recovered once it has been removed.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
Poka88 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time in line with changes to laws, technology, or our operations. Any material changes will be communicated to members via in-platform notifications or email at least 14 days before taking effect. The "Updated" date at the top of this document will always reflect the latest version.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Poka88 platform after any changes take effect will be considered acceptance of the updated policy.
