208 Privacy Policy — How We Protect Your Information

This Privacy Policy explains in detail how the 208 platform collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of Malaysian users. We are committed to ensuring your data is handled responsibly and securely.

Effective date: 1 January 2026. By using the 208 platform, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

When you register and use the 208 platform, we collect several categories of information needed to provide our services safely and effectively:

Personal Account Information

This includes your full name, email address, phone number, date of birth, and identity information provided during the registration process. This information is used to verify your identity and confirm your eligibility to use the platform.

Device & Browser Information

We collect technical data such as device type, operating system, browser type, IP address, screen resolution, and internet connection details. This data helps us optimise how the platform displays on your device and detect any unauthorised access.

Payment & Transaction Information

To process deposits and withdrawals in Malaysian Ringgit (RM), we retain transaction records including the payment method used, amount, and transaction date and time. We do not directly store credit card numbers or sensitive banking details — all payment data is handled by third-party payment providers using industry-standard encryption.

Cookies & Usage Data

The 208 platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to understand how users interact with the site. This includes pages visited, session duration, buttons clicked, and navigation paths. This data is used to improve the user experience and analyse platform performance.

2. How Your Information Is Used & Cookie Management

How Your Information Is Used

208 uses the information collected solely for legitimate purposes related to platform operations, namely:

To verify user identity and eligibility during registration and login;
To securely process deposits, withdrawals, and transactions in MYR;
To detect and prevent fraud, multi-account usage, and suspicious activity;
To comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements;
Sending important notifications related to your account;
To improve our products, services, and the overall user experience on the platform.

Cookie Management

Cookies used by the 208 platform fall into two main categories. Essential cookies are required for core platform functionality and cannot be disabled. Analytical cookies help us understand usage patterns — you may choose to disable them through your browser settings, though this may slightly affect your user experience. The 208 platform does not use cookies for third-party advertising purposes.

3. Data Storage, Security & Information Sharing

Retention Period

Your personal information is retained for as long as your account remains active on the 208 platform. After account closure, we retain the necessary records for the period required by applicable laws and regulations, typically between three and seven years. Data that is no longer needed will be securely deleted.

Security Measures

We implement multiple layers of security to protect your data, including SSL encryption for all data transmissions, role-based access controls for internal staff, continuous system monitoring to detect threats, and regularly encrypted data backups. That said, no security system is entirely foolproof — you also play a part by keeping your own login credentials confidential.

Third-Party Sharing

208 does not sell or rent users' personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Your information is only shared in the following situations: with approved payment service providers to process MYR transactions, with lawful authorities when required by law, or with technical partners who help operate the platform under strict confidentiality agreements. All third parties involved are bound by equivalent data protection obligations.

4. User Rights & How to Exercise Them

As a 208 platform user, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

Right of Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. This request can be submitted through the support channels available after logging into your account. We will process the request within a reasonable timeframe.

Right of Rectification

If any of your personal information is inaccurate or out of date, you have the right to request a correction. Users can update certain profile details directly in account settings, while changes to core identity information may require additional document verification.

Right of Erasure

You may request the deletion of your account and personal information, subject to applicable legal retention requirements. Please note that financial transaction records may need to be retained for a specified period even after a deletion request is received. To submit a deletion request, contact 208 customer support through the channels available in your account.

Right to Object to Processing

You have the right to object to the processing of your information for specific purposes that are not directly related to the core operation of the platform. Any such request will be carefully considered and we will communicate our decision within a reasonable timeframe.

5. Policy Changes & How to Contact Us

Privacy Policy Amendments

208 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in operational practices, legal requirements, or the technologies used. Any material changes will be communicated to registered users via in-platform notifications or registered email. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated whenever changes are made. Continued use of the platform after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
