Winnbox collects personal data through the following channels:
4.1 Direct Collection
You provide data directly when you complete the registration form, submit KYC documents, make a deposit via Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, DuitNow, FPX, or cryptocurrency, contact our support team, or update your account settings.

We may receive data about you from identity verification service providers (for KYC purposes), payment processors (for transaction confirmation), fraud detection partners, and analytics providers. All such third parties are contractually bound to handle your data in accordance with applicable privacy law.
Payment Data Note: Winnbox does not store full bank account numbers, credit card numbers, or complete e-wallet credentials. Financial transaction data is processed through PCI-DSS compliant payment processors. We retain only transaction reference numbers, amounts, timestamps, and payment method type for our records.
Purpose of Data Processing
Winnbox processes your personal data strictly for the following defined and lawful purposes:
- Account Management: To create, maintain, and administer your registered account on the Platform, including processing login authentication and account preference settings.
- Identity and Age Verification (KYC): To verify that you are a natural person aged 21 or above and to confirm the accuracy of the identity information provided, as required under our operating obligations.
- Payment Processing: To process deposits received from Malaysian payment methods (including Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, Maybank, CIMB Bank, Public Bank, Hong Leong Bank, RHB Bank, DuitNow, FPX, and cryptocurrency) and to execute withdrawal payments to verified accounts.
- Gaming Services: To deliver the casino games, live dealer tables, sports betting markets, and other gaming products available on the Platform.
- Responsible Gambling: To monitor gaming patterns and account activity for indicators of problem gambling, and to administer deposit limits, self-exclusion orders, and cooling-off periods at the Player's request or at our discretion.
- Anti-Fraud and Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, account compromise, and violations of our Terms and Conditions.
- Customer Support: To respond to enquiries, resolve disputes, process complaints, and provide technical assistance via live chat and email.
- Legal and Regulatory Compliance: To satisfy our obligations under applicable laws and regulations, including the PDPA, anti-money laundering requirements, and any lawful requests from competent authorities.
- Service Improvement: To analyse aggregated, anonymised usage data for the purpose of improving Platform performance, game offerings, and user experience — without linking such data back to any individual.
- Promotional Communications: To send you information about promotions, bonuses, and platform updates where you have consented to receive such communications. You may withdraw this consent at any time via your account notification settings.
Purpose Limitation Principle: Under the PDPA and this Policy, Winnbox will not use your personal data for any purpose other than those listed above without first obtaining your separate, informed consent. We do not use your data for profiling, targeted advertising on third-party platforms, or any purpose unrelated to the provision of gaming and account services.

- Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws, including KYC/AML requirements, regulatory reporting, and responses to lawful orders from Malaysian authorities.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests, including fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement — provided such interests do not override your fundamental privacy rights.
- Consent: Where we rely on your consent (e.g., for marketing communications), you retain the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

8.3 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets involving Winnbox, personal data held by us may be transferred to the relevant successor entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections being maintained. We will notify affected Players of any such transfer via the email address registered to their account.
No Cross-Border Transfers for Marketing: Winnbox does not transfer your personal data to overseas third parties for marketing, advertising, or data brokerage purposes. Any cross-border transfer of data that does occur — for example, to cloud infrastructure providers — is carried out under contractual safeguards ensuring PDPA-equivalent levels of protection.
Data Retention
Winnbox 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 periods apply:
- Account and Identity Data: Retained for the lifetime of your account and for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, to satisfy AML record-keeping requirements.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data lifecycle procedures.
Data Security
Winnbox implements comprehensive technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
- 256-bit AES encryption for data in transit (via TLS/SSL) and data at rest on our servers
- Role-based access controls limiting data access to personnel with a documented operational need
- Two-factor authentication enforced for all administrative access to production systems
- Regular third-party penetration testing and vulnerability assessments of the Platform infrastructure
- Intrusion detection systems and 24/7 security operations monitoring
- Regular security awareness training for all staff with access to personal data
- Incident response procedures including breach notification protocols in accordance with PDPA obligations
While we take every reasonable precaution, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, Winnbox will notify affected individuals and the relevant authority as required under the PDPA.

Children's Privacy
The Winnbox Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the age of 21. Age verification is conducted as part of the KYC process for all withdrawing accounts.
If Winnbox discovers that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, we will immediately close the associated account, delete all related personal data, and refund any deposits (net of winnings, which shall be forfeited in accordance with our Terms and Conditions). If you believe that a minor may have accessed the Platform using falsified information, please contact us immediately at the details provided in Section 15 so that we may take prompt action.
International Data Transfers
Where the operation of the Platform requires personal data to be transferred to or accessed from locations outside of Malaysia — for example, by cloud infrastructure or technology service providers operating internationally — Winnbox ensures that such transfers are made only to entities that provide an adequate level of data protection equivalent to, or exceeding, the standards required under the PDPA 2010.
Such protections are implemented through binding contractual clauses in our agreements with third-party processors, mandatory confidentiality obligations, and ongoing compliance assessments. We do not transfer personal data to any jurisdiction where we cannot ensure adequate protections are in place.
Amendments to This Policy
Winnbox reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or Platform services. Where amendments are material, we will provide advance notice to registered Players via the email address on file and/or a prominent notice on the Platform prior to the changes taking effect.
Non-material clarifications or corrections may be made without specific notification. The date of the most recent revision is displayed at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated Policy. If you do not agree with the amendments, you must discontinue use of the Platform and contact us to close your account.
We encourage all Players to review this page periodically to stay informed of how Winnbox is protecting their personal information.
