1 Privacy Policy Introduction and Scope

This Privacy Policy is issued by Hoki178 Entertainment Limited ("hoki178", "we") and applies to all users who access or use the hoki178 platform via hoki178.vin, the hoki178 mobile app, and any related service channels we operate.

We understand that entrusting your personal information to any online platform requires strong confidence. That is why hoki178 takes a transparent, responsible, and proactive approach to managing every piece of data you share with us — from your username to your financial transaction details.

This Privacy Policy should be read together with the hoki178 Terms and Conditions. By using our platform, you agree to the data processing practices described in this document.

This policy covers all information we collect directly from you, data generated during platform use, and information we receive from trusted third parties such as payment providers and identity verification partners.

2 Types of Personal Data We Collect

Hoki178 collects various categories of personal information depending on your interactions with our platform. Here is a summary of the data we collect, along with its purposes and legal basis:

Data Category Sample Information Purpose

Financial Data Payment methods, transaction history, account balance PaymentsAML
Technical Data IP address, browser type, operating system, device ID SecurityAnalytics
Usage Data Games played, session duration, preferences User Experience

We only collect data that is strictly necessary for the stated purposes. This data minimisation principle ensures we do not retain more than what is needed to deliver the best service to you.

3 How We Use Your Data

Every piece of data we collect is used for a clear and lawful purpose. hoki178 does not use your data for any purpose other than those stated here without obtaining your consent first:

  • Processing new account registrations and verifying member identities through a regulation-compliant KYC process.
  • Securely processing and verifying all deposit and withdrawal transactions within the hoki178 platform.
  • Providing efficient customer support and resolving any complaints or enquiries promptly.
  • Sending important notifications related to your account, security, promotions, and service updates.
  • Fulfilling legal obligations including AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance and reporting to authorities when required.
  • Improving user experience through usage behaviour analysis and feedback.
  • Preventing fraud, account abuse, and activities that violate hoki178's terms of service.
  • Personalising content, offers, and promotions relevant to your gaming preferences.

✅ hoki178 does not use your data to make automated decisions that seriously affect your rights without human review. Every significant account-related decision involves a manual assessment by our team.

4 Data Sharing With Third Parties

Hoki178 does not sell or disclose your personal information to third parties for their own commercial purposes. However, in the course of operating our platform, we work with a number of trusted third-party categories:

  • Payment Provider: DuitNow, FPX, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, and local banks to process your financial transactions securely.
  • KYC Verification Provider: Recognised third-party identity verification services to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • Game Software Providers: Licensed game companies that supply gaming content within the hoki178 platform receive only the minimum necessary game session data.
  • Cloud Infrastructure Provider: Servers and cloud services hosting the hoki178 platform, subject to strict data processing agreements.
  • Legal Authority: Data may be disclosed to law enforcement agencies, courts, or regulatory bodies when required by law.

All third parties we work with are required to sign data processing agreements that set high data protection standards and do not permit them to use your data for any purpose other than what has been agreed.

5 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Hoki178 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit the hoki178 website. Below are the types of cookies we use:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for core platform functions such as login authentication, session security, and language preferences. These cookies cannot be disabled.
  • Performance Cookies: Collecting information on how you use the platform to help us identify technical issues and improve website performance.
  • Functional Cookies: Enabling the platform to remember your preferences such as language, display layout, and account settings for a more comfortable experience.
  • Analytics Cookies: Used to understand aggregate usage patterns to help us plan improvements to the hoki178 platform as a whole.

You can manage cookie settings through your internet browser. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the full functionality of the hoki178 platform. Note: third-party analytics cookies we use are for internal purposes only and are not shared with external advertisers.

6 Data Security & Protection

Protecting your data is a core responsibility of hoki178. We implement multiple layers of technical and organisational protection to ensure your information remains secure at all times:

  • 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data communications between your device and hoki178 servers.
  • Passwords are stored using strong hashing algorithms — we cannot view your password ourselves.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) is available and recommended for all hoki178 member accounts.
  • Continuous server security monitoring with real-time threat detection systems.
  • Financial data separation — your payment information is processed and stored by licensed payment providers, not directly on hoki178 servers.
  • Regular security audits by independent third parties to identify and patch any vulnerabilities.
  • Data security awareness training for all hoki178 staff with access to member data.

While we take comprehensive security measures, no online system can be guaranteed 100% secure. You are also responsible for keeping your own hoki178 account password and login credentials safe.

7 Data Retention Period

Hoki178 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes stated in this policy or as required by applicable law. Below are our data retention period guidelines:

  • Active account data: Retained for as long as your account is active and for the required period after account closure to meet legal obligations.
  • Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 7 years in accordance with anti-money laundering (AML) and applicable tax legal requirements.
  • KYC and identity verification records: Retained for 5 years after the account closure date or as required by regulatory obligations.
  • Customer support communication logs: Retained for 3 years for reference and dispute resolution purposes.
  • Analytics and technical log data: Retained for a maximum of 24 months in de-identified form thereafter.

Once the applicable retention period has ended, your data will be securely deleted or fully anonymised from hoki178 systems.
