Privacy Policy
Koboi89 is committed to handling your personal data with transparency, care, and strict compliance with applicable data protection standards. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you hold over your own data.
How We Approach Your Privacy
Minimal Data Collection
We collect only the personal information that is strictly necessary to operate your account, process transactions, verify your identity, and comply with our licensing and anti-moneylaundering obligations. We do not collect data for the sake of it.
No Third-Party Data Sales
Your personal data is never sold, leased, or commercially transferred to third parties for marketing or profiling purposes. Any data shared with third parties is shared solely to deliver platform services — payment processing, identity verification, fraud prevention — under strict contractual data protection terms.
Encryption & Security
All data transmitted between your device and the Koboi89 platform is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. Stored data — including identity documents submitted for KYC and financial transaction records — is held on secured servers with access restricted to authorised personnel only.
Transparent Processing
You have the right to know precisely what data we hold about you, why we hold it, how long we retain it, and with whom it is shared. This policy is written in plain English — not deliberately obscure legal language — so that every Koboi89 player in Malaysia can understand it.
Your Rights Are Respected
You may request access to, correction of, or erasure of your personal data at any time, subject to our legal retention obligations. You may also object to certain processing activities, request data portability, or withdraw consent where processing is consent-based.
Defined Retention Periods
We do not hold personal data indefinitely. Retention periods are defined by the purpose for which data was collected and any applicable legal or regulatory minimum retention requirements. Account data is typically retained for five years following account closure in compliance with AML regulatory obligations.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies
The Koboi89 Platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate core platform functionality, improve user experience, and support fraud prevention. The categories of cookies used are described below:
- strictly necessary cookies: Essential to platform operation — including session management, authentication tokens, security verification, and fraud detection signals. These cannot be disabled without impairing Platform functionality.
- Functional cookies: Used to remember your language preferences, display settings, and account customisation choices between sessions. Disabling these will result in a reduced personalised experience.
- Analytical cookies: Used to measure aggregate usage patterns — page views, navigation flows, session duration, and feature interaction rates — in anonymised form, for the purpose of improving Platform performance. These are activated on the basis of your consent.
- Marketing and preference cookies: Where you have opted into personalised promotional communications, these cookies allow us to tailor offer delivery to your demonstrated interests and gaming activity patterns. These are consent-based and may be withdrawn at any time via your Account settings.
You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time. Disabling all cookies may affect your ability to use certain Platform features. For clarity, the Platform does not currently deploy third-party advertising cookies or share cookie data with external ad networks.
Data Retention
Koboi89 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected and to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and licensing obligations. The following retention periods apply as general guide:
- Active account data: Retained for the duration of your active Account relationship with the Platform.

Data Security
Koboi89 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- Transport encryption: All data transmitted between your device and Platform servers is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. The Platform enforces HTTPS across all interfaces.
- Access control: Access to personal data on internal systems is restricted on a need-to-know basis, with role-based permissions, multi-factor authentication requirements, and comprehensive access audit logging.
- Password security: Account passwords are stored as salted cryptographic hashes. Koboi89 personnel will never ask for your password via any communication channel.
- Infrastructure security: Platform servers are hosted in secured data centre environments with physical access controls, network segmentation, intrusion detection systems, and 24/7 monitoring.
- Vulnerability management: Regular security assessments, penetration testing, and patch management are conducted to identify and remediate technical vulnerabilities.
- Incident response: A documented data breach response protocol is maintained, including notification procedures applicable where a breach is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of affected individuals.
While we implement robust security measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You play an important role in protecting your Account by keeping your login credentials confidential, enabling two-factor authentication, and reporting any suspected unauthorised access promptly to our support team.
