2 Personal Data We Collect
wou88 collects personal data through several channels, including account registration, platform use, payment processing, and customer support interactions. The categories of personal data we may collect include:

3 How We Use Your Personal Data

5 Data Sharing & Third-Party Disclosure
wou88 does not sell your personal data. We may share personal data with third parties only in the following circumstances:
- Payment Service Providers: Financial data is shared with payment processors (including e-wallet operators such as Touch 'n Go and Boost, and banking partners including Maybank, CIMB, and Public Bank) solely to process transactions. These providers are contractually bound to process your data only as instructed by wou88 and in accordance with applicable data protection standards.
- Game Providers: Certain gaming activity data is shared with our licensed game providers (e.g., Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, PG Soft) as necessary to deliver and audit gaming outcomes. These providers are subject to their own regulatory obligations regarding data handling.
- Identity Verification Services: KYC documents and identity data may be shared with third-party identity verification providers who assist wou88 in meeting its regulatory obligations. These providers are contractually required to handle data securely and confidentially.
- Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: wou88 may be required to disclose personal data to regulators, law enforcement agencies, or courts in response to lawful requests, orders, or obligations under applicable law.
- Professional Advisors: Personal data may be disclosed to legal counsel, auditors, or other professional advisors where necessary for the conduct of wou88's business, subject to confidentiality obligations.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of wou88's assets, member personal data may be transferred to the acquirer, subject to equivalent privacy protections.
All third-party service providers engaged by wou88 are subject to contractual data processing agreements that restrict the use of your personal data to the purposes for which it was shared.
6 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
The wou88 platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain session integrity, remember your preferences, and support platform analytics. The categories of cookies used on wou88 are:
- Essential Cookies: Strictly necessary for the wou88 platform to function. These include session cookies that maintain your logged-in state, CSRF protection tokens, and load balancing cookies. These cannot be disabled without impairing platform functionality.
- Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, preferred lobby view, and responsible gaming configuration. These improve your experience but are not strictly necessary.
- Analytics Cookies: Used to collect aggregated data on how members navigate and use the wou88 platform. This data helps us identify usability issues and improve platform design. Analytics cookies do not identify you personally.
You may adjust your browser settings to refuse non-essential cookies. Note that disabling functional cookies may affect certain platform preferences. wou88 does not use third-party advertising or behavioural targeting cookies.
7 Data Retention
wou88 retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following principles:
- Active account data is retained for the duration of the member relationship plus the applicable statutory or regulatory retention period following account closure.
- KYC and AML-related records are retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the last transaction, as required by applicable anti-money laundering regulations.
- Financial transaction records are retained for seven (7) years from the transaction date for accounting and audit purposes.
- Customer support communications are retained for three (3) years to support dispute resolution and quality assurance.
- Technical log data (IP addresses, session logs) is retained for twelve (12) months for security and fraud investigation purposes.
Where retention is required solely for legal or regulatory purposes and no longer necessary for the original processing purpose, data is archived with restricted access rather than deleted until the applicable retention period expires.
8 Data Security
wou88 implements a layered security architecture to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our security measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between member devices and wou88 servers;
- AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest, including identity documents and financial records;
- Two-factor authentication available on all member accounts;
- Role-based access controls limiting internal staff access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis;
- Automated intrusion detection and real-time security monitoring of all platform infrastructure;
- Regular penetration testing and third-party security audits of the wou88 platform;
- Incident response procedures including member notification protocols in the event of a data breach affecting personal data.
No system is entirely immune from security threats. wou88 encourages all members to use strong, unique passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and report any suspected unauthorised account access immediately via wou88 support.

- Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal data wou88 holds about you, along with information about how it is processed.
- Right to Rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. Certain corrections (e.g., name changes) require identity verification and supporting documentation.
- Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to wou88's legal and regulatory retention obligations. Data required for AML, KYC, or other regulatory purposes cannot be deleted before the applicable retention period expires.

- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.
To exercise any of the above rights, contact wou88 Member Services. We will acknowledge requests within 5 business days and respond substantively within 30 days. Complex requests may require up to 90 days with prior notice.
10 Children's Privacy
The wou88 platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and over. wou88 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, we will immediately close the associated account, void any associated transactions, and delete the personal data as promptly as practicable.
If you believe a minor has accessed or registered with wou88, please contact our support team immediately. wou88 takes its obligations regarding underage access seriously and maintains robust age verification procedures at registration and during KYC review.
11 International Data Transfers
The wou88 platform operates internationally and your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in jurisdictions other than Malaysia. Where such transfers occur, wou88 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data to a standard equivalent to that required under applicable data protection law.
Safeguards for international transfers may include standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements with binding data protection obligations, and transfers to jurisdictions recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection by relevant regulatory authorities.
