BQ88's Six Core Privacy Principles for Malaysian Players

Before reading the full document, familiarise yourself with the six core principles that shape how BQ88 handles your personal data.

Minimal Data Collection

BQ88 only collects personal data that is genuinely necessary to provide platform services effectively and securely. We do not collect irrelevant or excessive information simply because it might be useful down the line. Every piece of data we collect has a clear, justifiable purpose grounded in BQ88's operational requirements.

Strongest Data Security

All BQ88 members' personal data is stored with 256-bit SSL encryption — the highest security standard in the online financial services industry. BQ88's servers are protected by multi-layered firewall systems and are regularly audited by independent cybersecurity experts to detect and patch vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

No Data Sales to Advertisers

BQ88 has never sold, rented, or traded members' personal data to any third party for marketing or advertising purposes, and never will. Your data belongs to you – it is not a revenue source for BQ88. Any disclosure of data to third parties occurs only under strictly limited circumstances, as clearly outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Full Control in Your Hands

Every BQ88 member has the right to access their personal data, request corrections if there are inaccuracies, apply for data deletion under certain circumstances, and withdraw consent for specific types of data processing. These requests can be submitted at any time via support@bq88.site and will be handled within a reasonable timeframe.

Limited & Purpose-Driven Data Retention

BQ88 does not retain your personal data indefinitely. Data is kept only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or for the period prescribed by legal and regulatory requirements. Once the retention period has elapsed, data is securely deleted in a manner that is irreversible.

Full Transparency in Processing

BQ88 is committed to being fully transparent about how your data is processed. This Privacy Policy is written in plain, accessible language – not confusing legal jargon. We want every Malaysian player who reads this document to genuinely understand what happens with their data, not just sign off on it without reading.

Important Note: This Privacy Policy describes BQ88's personal data processing practices for all registered members and platform visitors. By registering a BQ88 account or using any service on this platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about how we handle your data, please contact us at support@bq88.site before continuing to use the platform.

  • Account management: Creating, maintaining, and managing your BQ88 account — including logins, account settings, and account-related technical support.
  • Transaction processing: Processing deposits via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow, Boost, ShopeePay, or FPX, as well as withdrawals of winnings to your local bank account or e-wallet.
  • Identity verification: Verifying your identity and age in accordance with KYC (Know Your Customer) compliance requirements mandated by the relevant regulatory bodies.
  • Provision of betting services: Displaying relevant sports betting markets, processing bets, and settling winnings or losses in accordance with match results.
  • Fraud prevention: Monitoring account activity to detect any signs of fraud, money laundering, duplicate accounts, or platform abuse.
  • Customer support: Providing technical support and responding to your enquiries via live chat, email, or WhatsApp.
  • VIP programme and promotions: Calculating and awarding rebates, bonuses, and VIP rewards based on your betting activity in accordance with the applicable programme terms.
  • Platform enhancements: Analysing aggregated usage patterns (without identifying individuals) to understand how Malaysian players use the platform and to improve the overall user experience.
  • Service communications: Sending important account-related notifications such as transaction confirmations, security alerts, and relevant policy updates.
  • Legal compliance: Fulfilling reporting and disclosure obligations required by applicable laws and relevant regulatory bodies.

BQ88 does not use your personal data for automated profiling that makes significant decisions about you without human involvement, except for automated fraud detection, which is an industry-standard security measure.

4 Legal Basis for Data Processing

BQ88 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the context of the processing:

  • Contract performance: Processing required to fulfil BQ88's platform agreement with you – including the processing of deposits, withdrawals, and bet settlements. Without this processing, BQ88 cannot provide the services you signed up for.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, product improvement, and aggregate analysis — where BQ88's interest in operating a safe and effective business is balanced against your privacy rights.
  • Compliance with legal obligations: Processing required to meet applicable legal obligations, including KYC requirements, reporting to regulatory bodies, and cooperating with authorities in legitimate investigations.
  • Consent: For certain types of processing such as optional marketing communications, BQ88 will request your explicit consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting support@bq88.site.

5 Data Sharing with Third Parties

BQ88 does not sell, rent, or disclose members' personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. Data disclosure only occurs within the following limited contexts and circumstances:

  • Payment providers: Data required to process transactions is shared with e-wallet providers (Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, DuitNow, Boost, ShopeePay) and banks (via FPX — Maybank, CIMB, and other local banks). Such disclosure is limited strictly to the data necessary to complete the transaction.
  • Gaming software providers: Third-party Live Casino and sports providers that partner with BQ88 may receive the minimum technical data necessary to deliver the gaming experience. These providers are bound by strict data confidentiality agreements.
  • Technical service providers: Server, cloud storage, and cybersecurity service providers that support BQ88 in operating its platform infrastructure. All such providers have signed data processing agreements binding them to the same privacy standards as BQ88.
  • Regulatory authorities: BQ88 will disclose data to the police, courts, or regulatory bodies when required by law, court order, or a legitimate investigation. BQ88 will not disclose data beyond what is strictly required by such a request.
  • Identity verification services: BQ88 uses third-party identity verification services for KYC and fraud prevention purposes. Data shared is limited to the information necessary for verification only.

In all of the data-sharing cases described above, BQ88 ensures that the receiving parties have adequate security and privacy measures in place and only use the data for the agreed purposes. BQ88 remains responsible for ensuring that the third parties with whom we share data comply with equivalent data protection standards.

6 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The BQ88 platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure smooth platform functionality, session security, and an improved user experience. The following are the categories of cookies used by BQ88:

  • Essential cookies (required): Cookies required for core platform functions such as login authentication, session management, and security. These cookies cannot be disabled as the BQ88 platform cannot function properly without them.
  • Performance cookies: Collecting data on how BQ88 platform pages are used — such as the most frequently visited pages and error messages — to help us improve platform performance and functionality. This data is collected in aggregate and does not identify individual users.
  • Functional cookies: Enables the BQ88 platform to remember your preferences — such as display language, odds display settings, and sports preferences — to provide a more personalised experience on your next visit.
  • Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, including unauthorised login attempts and suspicious usage patterns.

You can manage your cookie settings through your web browser. However, disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the BQ88 platform. BQ88 does not use third-party cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking purposes.

7 International Data Transfers

As an online platform, your personal data may be stored or processed outside Malaysia – for example, on servers belonging to cloud service providers or international casino game providers that partner with BQ88. In all cases of international data transfers, BQ88 takes the following measures to protect your data:

  • Only engaging providers that operate in jurisdictions with recognised data protection standards.
  • Ensuring appropriate data transfer agreements are in place — including standard contractual clauses or equivalent protection mechanisms.
  • Conducting security assessments of third-party providers before involving them in the processing of BQ88 members' data.
  • Continuously monitoring third-party providers' compliance with their data protection obligations.

If you would like to know more about the protection mechanisms used for specific international data transfers, you may request this information by contacting support@bq88.site.

8 Data Retention Period

BQ88 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy, or for the period required by applicable laws and regulatory obligations. The general data retention guidelines are as follows:

  • Active account data: Retained for as long as your BQ88 account is active and for a reasonable period after account closure to allow for the resolution of any pending transactions or disputes.
  • Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 7 years from the transaction date in accordance with applicable financial and tax legal requirements.
  • Betting history: Retained for a minimum of 5 years for dispute resolution purposes and to meet regulatory compliance requirements.
  • Live casino session recordings: Retained for a minimum of 30 days for the purpose of resolving game disputes.
  • Support communication logs: Retained for 2 years for reference and service quality improvement.
  • Technical data and access logs: Retained for 90 days for security purposes and technical issue resolution.

Once the specified retention period has ended, data is securely deleted or anonymised using methods that ensure it cannot be recovered or used to identify any individual.

9 Data Security at BQ88

BQ88 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or unintended disclosure:

  • 256-bit SSL Encryption: All communications between your browser or app and BQ88's servers are protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by Malaysia's major banking institutions.
  • Encryption of stored data: Sensitive data such as payment information and passwords is stored in encrypted form within BQ88's database — never as plain text.
  • Internal access controls: Access to members' personal data within BQ88's systems is restricted to staff who require it to carry out their job functions. The "need-to-know" principle is strictly enforced.
  • 24/7 security monitoring: BQ88's systems are continuously monitored for suspicious activity, intrusion attempts, and security anomalies.
  • Periodic security audits: BQ88 conducts regular penetration testing and security audits carried out by independent cybersecurity experts.
  • Incident response plan: BQ88 has clearly defined incident response procedures to address any data security breaches swiftly and effectively, including notifying affected parties where required.

While BQ88 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no security system can guarantee absolute 100% protection. You can help safeguard your account by using a strong password, not sharing your login credentials, and reporting any suspicious activity to support@bq88.site promptly.

10 Your Rights as a Data Subject

As a BQ88 member residing in Malaysia, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data processed by BQ88. To exercise any of these rights, contact support@bq88.site stating the right you wish to exercise and the information required to verify your identity.

If your personal data on record with BQ88 is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request a correction. BQ88 will process such requests promptly once your identity has been verified.

Right to Restrict Processing

You may request that BQ88 restrict the processing of your data in certain situations – for example, while you are disputing the accuracy of your data or awaiting a decision on your objection request.

Data Portability Rights

11 Children's Privacy

The BQ88 platform is exclusively for individuals aged 18 and above. BQ88 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian who becomes aware that your child has registered a BQ88 account without your knowledge, please contact us immediately at support@bq88.site.

Where BQ88 discovers that personal data of an underage individual has been collected inadvertently, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the account in question. BQ88 also employs technical measures to detect and prevent registration by underage individuals, including date of birth verification during registration and the KYC process where required.

12 Links to External Sites

The BQ88 platform may contain links to third-party websites or services that operate independently of BQ88. This Privacy Policy applies solely to the BQ88 platform and does not cover the privacy practices of any external websites that may be linked.

BQ88 is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites. We recommend reading the privacy policy of each website you visit independently, particularly payment provider sites such as Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, or GrabPay, which maintain their own privacy policies separate from BQ88.

BQ88 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in data processing practices, legal requirements, or technological developments. The latest version of the Privacy Policy is always published on this page, with a clear update date shown at the top of the document.

For material changes — such as changes to the purposes for which data is used or to the categories of third parties receiving your data — BQ88 will notify members via email or in-platform notification before the changes take effect. For non-material changes such as language corrections or clarifications, changes will take effect immediately upon publication.

Your continued use of the BQ88 platform following any updates to the Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated version. If you do not agree with the changes made, you may close your BQ88 account by contacting support@bq88.site.

Frequently Asked Questions About Data Privacy at BQ88

Straightforward answers to the questions Malaysian players ask most about how BQ88 handles their personal data.

No, BQ88 has never sold, rented, or traded members' personal data to any third party for marketing, advertising, or any other commercial purpose, and never will. Your personal data is not a source of revenue for BQ88. The only parties who receive your data are those directly involved in delivering BQ88's services to you — such as payment providers processing your deposits via Touch 'n Go or DuitNow, gaming software providers powering your live casino experience, and regulatory bodies where required by law. All such third parties are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and may only use your data for the purposes agreed upon.

To request a copy of your personal data (right of data access), send an email to support@bq88.site with the subject "Data Access Request". In the email, please state your full name, your BQ88 account username, and the type of data you wish to access — for example, betting history, transaction records, or account information. BQ88 will verify your identity before processing the request. Once verified, BQ88 will provide a copy of your data in a readable format within 30 days. No fee is charged for the first data access request within any 12-month period. If requests are repetitive or excessive, BQ88 reserves the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee or decline the request with a clear explanation.

When you close your BQ88 account, your personal data is not deleted immediately. BQ88 is required by financial laws and regulatory obligations to retain certain records for specified periods even after account closure. Specifically, financial transaction records are kept for a minimum of 7 years from the transaction date, and betting history is retained for a minimum of 5 years. This is not BQ88's choice — it is a legal obligation. Data not subject to any legal retention requirement will be deleted or anonymised within a reasonable period following account closure. Once the mandatory retention period has expired, all data associated with your account will be permanently deleted. If you would like to know exactly what data is still held after your account is closed, contact support@bq88.site for a detailed explanation.

BQ88 does not store credit or debit card numbers in its systems. All payments are processed through secure payment gateways – including Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow, Boost, ShopeePay, and FPX – where your card or bank account details are handled directly by those payment providers, not by BQ88. What BQ88 does retain are transaction records – namely the date, time, amount, payment method used, and transaction status (successful or failed). This is required for your account records and compliance purposes. BQ88 does not store full bank account numbers or complete payment card details in its database. For payment methods such as DuitNow or FPX, only the bank provider name (e.g. Maybank or CIMB) may be retained as a transaction record reference – not your full account number.

BQ88 has a comprehensive data security incident response plan in place. In the event of a data security incident involving members' personal data, BQ88 will take the following steps: First, the security team will isolate and contain the threat as quickly as possible to prevent further access. Second, BQ88 will assess the scope and impact of the incident — what data was involved, how many members were affected, and what risks are present. Third, if the incident poses a high risk to the rights and freedoms of affected members, BQ88 will notify those members without undue delay via the email address registered to their account. The notification will state the nature of the incident, the data involved, the steps BQ88 has taken, and what you can do to protect yourself. BQ88 will also report serious incidents to the relevant authorities as required by law. For any data security enquiries or to report suspicious activity on your account, contact support@bq88.site immediately.
