Our Privacy Commitment: 918 takes its responsibility to protect every member's personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines your rights and explains how we handle your information in line with best data protection practices.

1 Introduction and Scope of the Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by the 918 platform ("918", "We") and applies to all users who access the 918.gd website, the 918 mobile app for Android and iOS, and all related services.

We understand that your personal information is a valuable and sensitive asset. The trust you place in us when you register an account and use the 918 platform is something we do not take lightly. Every decision we make regarding data handling is made with your privacy and security as the top priority.

By using the 918 platform, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the platform and contact us to close your account.

2 Types of Personal Information We Collect

918 collects various categories of information depending on how you interact with our platform. Below is a summary of the information we collect:

Data Category Example Information Primary Purpose
Identity Information Full name, date of birth, identification card number Account verification (KYC) and fraud prevention

We only collect information that is strictly necessary for the stated purposes. This principle of minimal data collection is the foundation of our approach to privacy.

3 How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used responsibly for the following purposes:

  • Account management: Registering, verifying, and maintaining your account on the 918 platform so you can enjoy all services seamlessly.
  • Transaction processing: Processing your deposits and withdrawals quickly and securely through your preferred payment method.
  • Security and fraud prevention: Detecting and preventing unauthorised access, fraud, money laundering, and any suspicious activity on your account.
  • KYC verification: Meeting identity verification requirements to ensure the safety of all members and the integrity of the platform.
  • Customer Support: Helping you resolve any technical issues, account enquiries, or complaints through our 24/7 support channels.
  • Service communications: Sending important account-related notices, terms updates, and relevant security alerts.
  • Relevant marketing: Sharing promotions, bonus offers, and information about new games that may interest you — only if you have agreed to receive them.
  • Platform improvements: Analysing usage patterns in aggregate to improve the performance, stability, and overall user experience of the 918 platform.

918 will not use your data for any purpose other than those stated above without first obtaining your consent.

4 Sharing and Disclosure of Information to Third Parties

918 does not sell, rent, or transfer your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, we do need to share certain information with the following parties to keep the platform running properly:

  • Payment service providers: FPX, Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, credit card processors, and other payment service providers required to process your financial transactions.
  • Game software providers: International-standard game providers that require certain session data to deliver fair and seamless gameplay.
  • Technical service providers: Companies providing server infrastructure, security monitoring, and technical support for the platform — all subject to strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal Authority: We will disclose the necessary information to the relevant authorities when required by law, court order, or official investigation.

Every third party we work with is required to comply with data protection standards equal to or exceeding our own. A clear data processing agreement is signed with each partner before any information is shared.

Note: 918 will never ask for your account password via email, SMS, or any other channel. If you receive such a request, it is a fraudulent attempt — please report it to our support team immediately.

5 Your Data Security and Protection

Protecting your personal and financial data is a responsibility we take extremely seriously. 918 implements multiple layers of technical and organisational security to ensure your information remains safe at all times:

  • 256-bit SSL encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the 918 servers is protected with industry-grade encryption, ensuring no third party can intercept or read your information during transmission.
  • Stored data encryption: Sensitive information such as passwords and bank account numbers is stored in encrypted form in our database. Even if our servers were accessed without authorisation, your data cannot be read.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA): Members can enable 2FA through their account settings to add an extra layer of protection during login.
  • Active 24/7 monitoring: Our security monitoring system operates 24/7 to detect any suspicious activity and respond immediately.
  • Internal access controls: Only authorised 918 staff with a specific need are permitted to access members' personal data, and all access is logged for audit purposes.

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no system is completely immune to cyber threats. You also play an important role in keeping your account secure by using a strong password and never sharing your login credentials with anyone.
