Privacy FAQs at BK8 Sports

The most frequently asked questions by Malaysian members about privacy and data protection at bk8 sports.

No. bk8 sports does not share members' personal data with advertising companies, data brokers or any third party for marketing purposes. We do not sell your data to anyone. The only parties that may receive your data are service providers we engage to operate the Platform — such as payment processors Touch 'n Go and DuitNow — and they are bound by strict confidentiality agreements. If you have seen bk8 sports-related ads on other websites, this is likely due to retargeting technology that operates based on your browser cookies, not because we have sold your data.

Yes, you may request deletion of your personal data from bk8 sports systems. However, please note that certain categories of data cannot be deleted for legal reasons — including financial transaction records which must be retained for 7 years under Malaysian law, and records related to active investigations or unresolved disputes.

When you make a transaction via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow or FPX, the actual processing is handled directly through your e-wallet provider's or bank's secure systems — we only receive confirmation that the transaction was successful. This method is known as "tokenisation" and ensures that your sensitive financial information is never stored in the bk8 sports database.

Yes, bk8 sports records and monitors the betting activity of every account — this is an essential operational requirement. The monitoring serves several legitimate purposes: accurately processing and settling bets, detecting fraudulent attempts or system abuse, meeting statutory reporting obligations, and providing you with your historical betting statistics. This information is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes. Your full betting history is available in your bk8 sports account for personal review at any time.

When you close your bk8 sports account, we do not immediately delete all your data due to our legal obligations. Financial and transaction records are retained for 7 years in accordance with Malaysian legal requirements. Data that is no longer needed for legal or compliance purposes will be anonymised or deleted within 90 days of account closure. You will receive an email notification confirming the closure and explaining what happens to your data. If you have specific questions about data retention after closure, please contact us before closing your account.
