Introduction

Welcome to the Privacy Policy of Playtech. At Playtech, we believe trust is the foundation of our relationship with every member. One of the most important ways we build and maintain that trust is by being transparent about how we handle your personal information.

This document accurately and transparently describes what information we collect when you use the Playtech, why we need it, how it is used, who can access it, and what you can do about your data. We have written this in plain language – not confusing legal jargon – because we want you to genuinely understand it, not just "agree" without reading.

This policy is effective from 1 January 2026 and supersedes all previous versions. It applies to all users who register and use the Playtech in Malaysia.

Our Commitment: Playtech never sells your personal data. We do not share your information for third-party marketing purposes. The data we collect is used solely to provide, improve, and protect the services you use.

Section 01

Section 03

Third-Party Data Sharing & Disclosure

Playtech does not share your personal information with external parties except in the circumstances outlined below. In all cases, we ensure that any data sharing is carried out with adequate safeguards in place.

3.1 Third-Party Service Providers We Use

To operate effectively, Playtech uses selected third-party service providers. These providers receive only the information necessary to carry out their specific functions and are bound by strict confidentiality obligations:

  • Payment provider: Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow, FPX, and partner banks that process your financial transactions

Section 04

Data Security Measures

Playtech invests seriously in data security. We implement a combination of technical, organisational, and physical measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or unintended disclosure.

4.1 Technical Security Measures

  • Data encryption in transit: All communications between your device and our servers Playtech encrypted using TLS 1.3 protocol with a 256-bit SSL certificate
  • Data encryption at rest: Sensitive data stored in our databases is encrypted using AES-256 standards
  • Layered firewall: Our server infrastructure is protected by continuously updated software and hardware firewalls
  • Access controls: Authorised staff only Playtech who have a legitimate business need may access user data, and all such access is logged and monitored
  • Two-factor authentication: Our internal systems require 2FA for all administrative access to user data
  • 24/7 Monitoring: Our cybersecurity team continuously monitors systems to detect anomalies and threats

4.2 Security Audits & Assessments

Playtech undergoes penetration testing by independent cybersecurity firms at least once a year. The findings from these assessments are used to continuously strengthen our system security. We also conduct periodic PDPA compliance audits to ensure our data handling practices remain aligned with the latest legal requirements.

4.3 What You Should Do

Data security is a shared responsibility. Playtech provides a secure infrastructure, but the security of your account also depends on your own actions. We recommend using a strong and unique password, enabling 2FA where available, never sharing your login credentials with anyone, and contacting us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

While Playtech takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no digital security system is 100% impenetrable. In the event of a security incident affecting your data, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required under PDPA 2010.

Frequently Asked Questions

Privacy FAQs at Playtech

Direct answers to the most frequently asked questions about your personal data

No. Playtech does not share, sell or rent your personal data to any advertising company, data broker or third party for marketing purposes. The only data sharing that occurs is with our operational service providers – such as payment processors (Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, DuitNow and others) and identity verification service providers – and this is done solely to enable us to deliver our services to you. All such third-party providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are not permitted to use your data for any other purpose.

Yes, you may request the deletion of your personal data by contacting us at support@playtech.life. Please note, however, that not all data can be deleted immediately. Malaysian law requires us to retain financial and transaction records for a minimum of 7 years, and identity verification (KYC) documents for at least 5 years after account closure. Data subject to these legal obligations will be retained for the applicable period before being securely destroyed. Data with no legal retention requirement will be deleted within 30 days of your request.

Playtech does not directly store credit or debit card numbers – all card processing is handled by third-party payment providers that comply with PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). For eWallets and FPX, account information we retain is encrypted using AES-256 and is accessible only to systems authorised for transaction processing. Bank account numbers registered for withdrawal purposes are also encrypted and masked – our support staff can only view the last few digits, not the full number. All internal access to financial data is logged and audited regularly.

Yes, Playtech records all gaming activity – including games played, bet amounts, wins and losses, and session duration. This data serves several important purposes: first, to resolve any disputes regarding game outcomes; second, to meet legal reporting and compliance requirements; third, to help us identify playing patterns that may indicate a gambling problem, allowing us to provide proactive assistance in line with our responsible gaming commitment; and fourth, to detect fraudulent activity or platform abuse. This activity data is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

When you close your Playtech account, the following process applies: Personal data with no legal retention requirement (such as communication preferences and session data) will be deleted or anonymised within 30 days. Financial and transaction records will be retained for 7 years in line with Malaysia's financial reporting laws. KYC documents will be kept for 5 years in compliance with anti-money laundering legislation. Once these retention periods expire, all data will be securely destroyed using methods that ensure it cannot be recovered. You may request written confirmation of your data deletion after the mandatory retention period ends.
