Data We Collect

hoki178 collects Personal Data through the following categories of source and interaction:

3.1 Account Registration Data
When you create a hoki178 account, we collect your legal full name, date of birth, email address, mobile telephone number, Malaysian residential address (where applicable), username and password. This information is necessary to establish your account, confirm your age and provide ongoing account services.

3.2 Identity Verification and KYC Documents
To comply with KYC and anti-money-laundering obligations, we may collect copies of your government-issued identification (such as a Malaysian MyKad or passport), a selfie photograph, proof of address documentation and evidence of payment method ownership. These materials are processed by hoki178 and, where necessary, by an approved third-party identity verification provider.

3.3 Financial and Transaction Data
Records of deposits, withdrawals, wagering activity, bonus claims and balance movements are retained. Associated payment identifiers — for example the last four digits of a bank account, a DuitNow recipient reference, or the registered mobile number of a Touch 'n Go eWallet — are recorded alongside transaction amounts in MYR, timestamps and processing status.

3.4 Technical and Device Data
We automatically collect your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device model, screen resolution, session timestamps, referring URL and error logs each time you access hoki178. This data helps us maintain platform security, diagnose technical faults and prevent fraud.

3.5 Usage and Behavioural Data
Pages visited, game sessions started and completed, bet history, live chat transcripts, support ticket content, feature interactions and navigation sequences are recorded to support account management, resolve disputes and improve the platform experience.

3.6 Communications Data
If you contact hoki178 via live chat or email, we retain records of those communications, including the content, timestamps and resolution outcome, for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.

Note for Malaysian players: hoki178 does not sell or rent your Personal Data to third-party marketing companies. Payment brand names such as Maybank, CIMB, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost and DuitNow appear in our records solely as payment method identifiers associated with your transactions.

Lawful Basis for Processing

hoki178 processes Personal Data only where a valid legal basis exists. The primary bases applicable to our activities are set out below:

  • Contractual necessity: processing required to create and manage your account, process MYR deposits and withdrawals, settle wagers, respond to support requests and fulfil our obligations under the Terms & Conditions.
  • Compliance with legal obligations: identity verification, age confirmation, anti-money-laundering checks, transaction monitoring and fraud investigation activities required by applicable international licensing and compliance standards.
  • Legitimate interests: platform security monitoring, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, abuse detection, internal analytics and service improvement, where these interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and interests.
  • Consent: where we send optional marketing communications or deploy non-essential analytics cookies, we rely on your prior consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

How We Use Your Personal Data

Personal Data collected by hoki178 is used exclusively for the purposes described below. We do not use your data for unrelated commercial activities.

5.1 Account Administration: Maintaining your account record, authenticating logins, applying account settings, issuing notifications about your balance, transactions, bonuses and promotions relevant to your account.

5.2 Payment Processing: Facilitating deposits and withdrawals in MYR through payment channels including Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, DuitNow, FPX and major Malaysian banks. Payment data is shared with your chosen payment provider to the minimum extent necessary to complete each transaction.

5.3 KYC and Compliance: Verifying that account holders are aged 21 or above, confirming the legitimacy of payment sources and satisfying anti-money-laundering monitoring requirements in accordance with international licensing obligations.

5.4 Responsible Gambling: Monitoring account activity for indicators of problem gambling behaviour, enforcing self-exclusion and deposit limit requests and communicating responsible gambling information where appropriate.

5.5 Security and Fraud Prevention: Detecting suspicious login patterns, identifying duplicate or fraudulent accounts, investigating unauthorised access and protecting other players from coordinated abuse.

5.6 Customer Support: Investigating account queries, settling wagering disputes, resolving payment discrepancies and providing technical assistance through live chat and email channels.

5.7 Platform Improvement: Analysing aggregate and anonymised usage data to identify feature gaps, performance issues and user experience improvements. Individual player data is not used for profiling in ways that significantly affect your access to the service.

6

Disclosure and Data Sharing

hoki178 does not sell, trade or rent your Personal Data to third parties for marketing purposes. Personal Data may be disclosed in the following specific circumstances:

  • Payment processors and e-wallet operators: To complete your chosen deposit or withdrawal transaction through services such as Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, DuitNow and FPX. Each processor operates under its own privacy framework.
  • Identity verification providers: To conduct KYC checks, age verification and document authentication. These providers are bound by contractual data protection obligations that prohibit secondary use of your information.
  • Cloud hosting and infrastructure partners: hoki178's platform, database and storage systems may be hosted by international cloud infrastructure providers. Data may be stored or processed in jurisdictions outside Malaysia where appropriate contractual safeguards apply.
  • Game content suppliers: Studios or platform operators providing game content may receive an anonymised session identifier to authenticate your game session. No personally identifiable information is passed to game suppliers beyond what is strictly necessary for session management.
  • Legal and regulatory authorities: Where disclosure is required by court order, law enforcement request, international licensing obligation, or to prevent, detect or report suspected fraud, money laundering or other unlawful activity.
  • Successors in business: In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of material assets, Personal Data may be transferred to a successor entity subject to the same or equivalent privacy protections.
hoki178 will not voluntarily disclose your Personal Data to any authority without a valid legal basis. Where we are legally permitted to notify you of a disclosure request, we will do so.
7

Data Retention

hoki178 retains Personal Data for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as reasonably required for legal, compliance, audit and dispute-resolution purposes. The following general retention principles apply:

  • Account registration data and KYC documents are retained for the duration of the account relationship and for a minimum of five years following account closure, in line with international anti-money-laundering standards.
  • Financial transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years from the date of each transaction to support audit, regulatory inspection and dispute resolution requirements.
  • Customer support communications are retained for three years from resolution date unless the underlying matter is subject to ongoing investigation or legal proceedings.
  • Analytics and usage logs in anonymised or aggregated form may be retained indefinitely for platform performance and research purposes.
  • Cookie data governed by consent expires in accordance with the cookie's stated validity period, typically between 30 days and 24 months depending on purpose.

When Personal Data is no longer required and no legal obligation justifies continued retention, hoki178 will delete or anonymise it in a secure and irreversible manner.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

hoki178 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on its website and platform. The primary categories of cookies deployed are described below:

Strictly necessary cookies maintain your login session, remember your language preference, prevent cross-site request forgery and enable core platform functionality. These cookies cannot be disabled without disrupting core services.

Performance and analytics cookies collect aggregate and anonymised data about page visits, session duration, error events and navigation flows. This information is used solely to improve platform stability and user experience.

Functionality cookies remember your UI preferences, such as display settings and notification choices, so you do not need to reconfigure them on each visit.

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Deleting or blocking cookies may affect your ability to stay logged in, access game sessions or use certain platform features. Where applicable law requires prior consent for non-essential cookies, hoki178 will request that consent before setting such cookies.

9

Data Security

hoki178 implements a layered security architecture to protect Personal Data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration and unlawful disclosure. Security controls in place include:

  • 256-bit TLS encryption covering all data transmitted between your browser or device and hoki178 servers;
  • access controls limiting internal data access to personnel with a documented operational need;
  • encryption at rest for sensitive fields including KYC documents and financial identifiers;
  • automated monitoring for anomalous access patterns, failed authentication attempts and data export activity;
  • regular security reviews and penetration testing of platform infrastructure; and
  • contractual security obligations imposed on all third-party Data Processors handling hoki178 user data.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials. hoki178 will never ask for your password through live chat, email or telephone. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact 24/7 support immediately and change your password.

No system is entirely immune to risk. While hoki178 employs industry-standard safeguards, we cannot guarantee that any transmission of data over the internet is completely secure. We will notify affected players as required if a material security incident involving Personal Data occurs.
10

User Rights

Subject to the legal framework applicable to your location and to any overriding compliance obligations, you hold the following rights with respect to Personal Data that hoki178 holds about you:

Right of access: You may request a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you, together with information about how it is used and with whom it is shared.

Right to rectification: If any Personal Data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you may ask us to correct or supplement it. Account profile information may also be updated directly through your account settings.

Right to erasure: In certain circumstances you may ask us to delete your Personal Data. This right is subject to limitations where retention is required by legal or compliance obligations — for example, transaction records required under international anti-money-laundering standards cannot be deleted before the relevant retention period expires.

Right to restriction: You may ask us to limit the processing of your Personal Data in specified circumstances, for example while the accuracy of data you have disputed is being reviewed.

Right to object: Where we rely on legitimate interests as the basis for processing, you may object to that processing. We will assess whether our legitimate interests are overridden by your specific situation and respond accordingly.

Right to data portability: Where technically feasible and legally applicable, you may request a copy of Personal Data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact hoki178 via live chat on the site or by email at [email protected]. Please include your registered email address and a clear description of your request. We will respond within a reasonable period, and in any case within the timeframe required by applicable law.

International Data Transfers

hoki178 operates as an international online gaming platform and, as a consequence, your Personal Data may be stored or processed in countries outside Malaysia. Relevant jurisdictions may include hosting and infrastructure locations in Europe, Asia-Pacific and other regions where hoki178's operational partners are based.

Where Personal Data is transferred outside the jurisdiction in which it was collected, hoki178 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place. These may include contractual data protection clauses with recipient organisations, data processing agreements requiring the recipient to maintain equivalent privacy and security standards, or reliance on recognised international data transfer mechanisms where applicable.

Malaysian users should note that Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) governs personal data processing by data processors with operations in Malaysia. hoki178 is an international operator and its compliance framework is based on international gaming licensing standards. If you have questions about the application of Malaysian data protection laws to your situation, you may wish to seek independent legal advice.

12

Children and Minors

hoki178 is strictly for persons aged 21 years and above. The platform does not knowingly collect Personal Data from any individual below the minimum age threshold. Account registration is contingent on acceptance of the Terms & Conditions, which include an unambiguous age eligibility condition.

Where hoki178 discovers or is notified that an account has been registered by a person under 21, the account will be closed immediately. Associated KYC and registration data will be retained only to the minimum extent required to document the closure and prevent re-registration, after which it will be securely deleted.

If you believe a minor has created a hoki178 account, please contact support immediately at [email protected] or via 24/7 live chat so we can investigate and close the account promptly.
13

Changes to This Policy

hoki178 may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in applicable law, platform functionality, payment method integrations, data processing partners or internal data governance practices. The updated policy will be published on hoki178.cam with a revised effective date.

Where a change materially affects how we use your Personal Data, we will make reasonable efforts to notify registered players through the email address associated with their account or through a prominent notice on the platform prior to the change taking effect. Continued use of hoki178 after the effective date of a revised policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Archived versions of prior policies are available on request via the support channels listed below.
