Welcome to the mq8 Privacy Policy page. At mq8, privacy is not merely a legal formality — it is a core commitment to every user. This Privacy Policy is drawn up in accordance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and international data protection standards. By using the mq8 platform, you agree to the terms set out in this document. Please review this policy from time to time, as we may update it in line with operational changes or compliance requirements.

1. Introduction & Policy Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all users who access or use the mq8 platform, including the official website, mobile apps for Android and iOS, and any services we provide online. It covers all types of personal data collected from you during registration, daily use, and any interaction with our support team.

Mq8 acts as the data controller for all personal information collected through our platform. We are responsible for ensuring your data is processed lawfully, fairly and transparently in accordance with applicable laws.

Note: This Privacy Policy should be read together with Terms and Conditions mq8. Both documents together form the complete agreement framework between you and mq8 regarding the use and protection of data.

2. Types of Personal Data We Collect

Mq8 collects your personal data in several ways — directly when you register or interact with the platform, and automatically as you use our services. Below are the categories of data we collect:

Data Category Type of Information How It Is Collected
Identity Data Full name, date of birth, national ID or passport number Registration & KYC
Contact Data Phone number, email address, state of residence Registration form
Financial Data Bank name, account number (partially masked), transaction records Deposits & withdrawals
Technical Data IP address, device type, browser, operating system Automatically upon access
Usage Data Game history, session duration, game preferences Platform System Logs
Communication Data Live Chat records, support emails, feedback Support interactions
mq8 not collect sensitive information such as biometric data, medical records or political affiliations. We only collect data that is strictly necessary for platform operations and legal compliance.

3. How We Use Your Data

Every piece of data we collect has a clear and lawful purpose. mq8 uses your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Account Management — registering, verifying identity and securely maintaining your user account.
  • Transaction Processing — processing deposits, withdrawals and all financial activity within the platform accurately and promptly.
  • KYC Verification — fulfilling the Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements mandated by financial compliance regulations.
  • Service Improvement — analysing platform usage patterns to improve the user experience, system stability and the range of games we offer.
  • Marketing Communications — sending promotions, bonus offers and the latest updates about the mq8 platform, subject to your notification preferences.
  • Fraud Prevention — detecting and investigating suspicious activity, unauthorised access attempts or any misuse of the platform.
  • Legal Compliance — meeting the reporting and compliance obligations required by the relevant authorities.
  • Customer Support — enabling our team to provide effective and personalised support to every user.

Mq8 will not use your data for any purpose beyond those stated above without first obtaining your explicit consent.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

Mq8 does not sell, rent or trade users' personal data to any third party for their own commercial purposes. This is our absolute commitment. However, there are limited situations where we may share your data with certain parties:

  • Payment Service Providers — such as FPX, DuitNow and e-wallet platform operators, solely for processing your financial transactions.
  • Technical Service Providers — companies that assist us in operating the platform infrastructure, data storage and security systems, all of whom are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Game Providers — licensed game providers supplying slots, Live Casino and other game content on the mq8 platform, for game session management purposes only.
  • Regulatory bodies & law enforcement — when required by Malaysian law or a valid court order.
  • Independent audit — a licensed audit firm that conducts regular compliance and fairness reviews of our platform.
All third parties we engage are required to meet data protection standards equal to or higher than our own. Legally binding data processing agreements are signed with every service provider.

5. Data Security & Protection Measures

We invest seriously in security infrastructure to ensure your personal and financial data remains protected at all times. Key security measures we implement include:

  • 256-bit SSL Encryption for all data transferred between your device and mq8 servers.
  • Data Encryption at Rest — all sensitive data stored in our databases is protected with AES-256 encryption.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) available for all user accounts and strongly recommended as an additional layer of protection.
  • 24/7 Security Monitoring by automated systems that detect unauthorised access attempts, cyberattacks and anomalous activity.
  • Regular Security Audits by our internal security team and independent third-party auditors.
  • Strict Access Controls — only mq8 staff with specific authorisation may access users' personal data, and every access is logged for audit purposes.
  • Automatic Data Backup with a recovery system tested regularly to ensure continuity of service.
While we take all reasonable measures, no digital system can guarantee 100% absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects you, we will notify you within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Once the retention period expires, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked to you personally.

9. Changes to the Privacy Policy
