This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by j8de ("Company", "we", "us", "our"), the operator of the online casino and sports betting platform accessible at j8de.cam. It governs the collection, use, storage, disclosure, and protection of personal data submitted by users ("User", "Member", "you") when accessing or using j8de's services.

j8de is committed to protecting the privacy of all players across Malaysia — from Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya to Penang, Johor Bahru, and Shah Alam. We process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection principles and international best practices for online gaming operators.

By registering an account on j8de, making a deposit, or using any of our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein.

j8de processes your personal data for the following specific and lawful purposes:

• Account Management: To create, maintain, and administer your j8de member account, including login authentication, account history, and profile management.
• Identity & Age Verification (KYC): To verify that you are at least 21 years of age and are a genuine individual eligible to use the Platform, in compliance with responsible gambling and anti-money laundering obligations.

• Fraud Prevention & Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, account abuse, bonus misuse, and other prohibited conduct on the Platform.
• Responsible Gambling: To monitor player activity for indicators of problem gambling behaviour and to provide appropriate intervention tools including deposit limits, self-exclusion, and cooling-off periods.

• Platform Improvement & Analytics: To analyse aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve the performance, design, and functionality of the j8de Platform.

j8de will not process your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes listed above without first notifying you and, where required, obtaining your consent.

j8de processes personal data on the following legal bases, applied depending on the specific processing activity:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing required to perform the contract between j8de and you (i.e., to provide the gaming and betting services you have registered to use). This includes account management, payment processing, and service delivery.
• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, including KYC, AML, CTF reporting, and responsible gambling requirements imposed on licensed online gaming operators.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing carried out in pursuit of j8de's legitimate business interests, where such interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms. This includes fraud prevention, platform security, internal analytics, and business development — provided these activities do not cause disproportionate impact on your privacy.
• Consent: Processing carried out on the basis of your explicit, freely given consent — in particular for direct marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

j8de does not sell your personal data. We may share your data only in the following defined circumstances and only with parties bound by appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations:

• Payment Service Providers: Financial transaction data is shared with the relevant payment processors (such as FPX, DuitNow gateway operators, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, and major Malaysian banks) solely for the purpose of processing your deposits and withdrawals.
• KYC & Fraud Prevention Partners: Identity and verification documents may be shared with accredited third-party KYC verification and AML screening services to fulfil our legal due diligence obligations.
• Gaming Platform & Technology Providers: Technical data and session information may be shared with our licensed game content providers and platform infrastructure partners to deliver gaming services and ensure system integrity.
• Regulatory & Law Enforcement Authorities: j8de may be required by law to disclose personal data to competent regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts of competent jurisdiction. Any such disclosure will be limited to what is strictly required by the applicable legal obligation.
• Professional Advisers: In limited circumstances, personal data may be shared with j8de's legal, financial, or technical advisers, subject to strict confidentiality obligations.
• Corporate Transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets involving j8de, personal data may be transferred to the relevant successor entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

j8de retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations. The following general retention guidelines apply:

• Active Account Data: Retained for the duration of the Member's active account relationship with j8de, plus an additional period following account closure as required for legal compliance.
• Transaction Records: Financial transaction records, including deposit and withdrawal history in MYR, are retained for a minimum of five (5) years following the relevant transaction date to meet AML and regulatory record-keeping requirements.
• KYC & Verification Documents: Identity and verification documents submitted during the KYC process are retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure or the last transaction, as required by applicable regulations.
• Support Communications: Live chat transcripts and email correspondence with our support team are retained for a period of three (3) years from the date of the relevant interaction, unless a longer retention period is required for dispute resolution purposes.
• Technical & Log Data: Server logs and technical access data are retained for up to twelve (12) months, after which they are deleted or irreversibly anonymised.
• Marketing Consent Records: Records of marketing consent are retained for the duration of the consent period plus any additional period required for compliance purposes.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised so that it can no longer be attributed to an individual. Where full deletion is not immediately possible (e.g., data in backup systems), the data will be isolated and protected from further processing until deletion is possible.

• Penetration Testing & Security Audits: The j8de Platform undergoes regular third-party security assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Whilst j8de takes all reasonable precautions to protect your personal data, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. You are also responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. See Section 4 of our Terms & Conditions for guidance on account security best practices.

If you believe that a person under 21 has registered an account on j8de or has provided their personal data to us, please notify us immediately at [email protected] and we will investigate and act promptly.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental controls and content filtering tools available for web browsers and mobile devices to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms.
