How We Use Your Personal Data
We use the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes:
| Purpose | Data Used |
|---|---|
| Account registration and authentication | Name, email, date of birth, username, password |
| Identity verification (KYC compliance) | Government ID, proof of address, selfie photograph |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals | Financial transaction data, payment method identifiers |
| Fraud prevention and AML monitoring | Transaction data, device data, IP address, gaming activity |
| Providing customer support | Account data, transaction data, communication records |
| Responsible gambling management | Gaming activity, deposit history, self-exclusion preferences |
| Platform improvement and analytics | Aggregated and anonymised usage data, session data |
| Legal and regulatory compliance | KYC documents, transaction records, communication records |
| Promotional communications (where opted in) | Email address, name, game preferences |
We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review. Where profiling is used (for example, to identify potential problem gambling patterns or unusual account activity), it is used to protect Players and comply with responsible gambling obligations — not for commercial targeting.
Legal Basis for Processing
The Company processes personal data on the following legal grounds, as applicable to the specific processing activity:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing is required to fulfil our contractual obligations to you as a registered Platform user — including account management, payment processing, and service delivery.
- Legal Obligation: Processing is required to comply with applicable anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, licensing conditions, and record-keeping obligations imposed on the Company under its international gaming licence.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for the Company's legitimate interests in preventing fraud, ensuring platform security, and improving the quality of our services — where those interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
- Consent: Where processing is not covered by the above grounds — for example, sending you promotional communications or non-essential cookies — we rely on your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time without affecting prior processing.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
kis918 does not sell or commercially transfer your personal data to third parties. We may share your data with carefully vetted third parties only in the following limited circumstances:
- Payment Processors: We share financial transaction data with payment service providers — including the operators of DuitNow, FPX, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, and Hong Leong Connect — solely for the purpose of processing your requested transactions. These providers are independently regulated and operate under their own privacy frameworks.
- KYC Verification Providers: Identity documents submitted for KYC purposes may be processed by accredited third-party verification service providers operating under strict data processing agreements with the Company.
- Customer Support Platforms: Our live chat and support ticketing infrastructure may be provided by third-party software vendors. These processors operate under data processing agreements that restrict their use of your data to support delivery only.
- Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: We may disclose personal data to competent authorities — including licensing regulators, financial intelligence units, and law enforcement agencies — where required by law, court order, or regulatory direction.
- Fraud Prevention Networks: In cases of suspected fraud or financial crime, we may share relevant account and transaction data with third-party fraud prevention agencies as part of our AML obligations.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
The kis918 Platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly, improve your experience, and gather aggregated analytics on Platform usage. We use the following categories of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for core Platform functionality, including maintaining your login session, remembering your language and currency preferences, and ensuring secure page-to-page navigation. These cookies cannot be disabled without impacting platform functionality.
- Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences such as game display settings, notification preferences, and responsible gambling tool configurations set in your account.
- Analytics Cookies: Collect aggregated, anonymised data about how Players navigate and use the Platform — including page visit frequency, session duration, and feature engagement. This data helps us improve the Platform and user experience.
- Security Cookies: Support fraud detection and account security functions, including identifying unusual login patterns and potential account compromises.
You may manage non-essential cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect Platform functionality. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies that share your data with external advertisers.
Data Security
The Company implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers.
- Encrypted storage of sensitive personal data, including identity documents and financial records, using industry-standard encryption at rest.
- Role-based access controls ensuring that employee access to personal data is restricted to those with a legitimate operational need.
- Multi-factor authentication for all internal administrative systems that have access to player data.
- Regular security vulnerability assessments and penetration testing conducted by independent security professionals.
- Incident response procedures enabling rapid detection, containment, and notification of data security incidents.
While we take all reasonable precautions to protect your data, no online system is entirely immune to security risks. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login credentials. Please contact our support team immediately if you suspect your Account has been compromised.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following general retention periods apply:

|---|---|---|

International Data Transfers
The kis918 Platform operates under an international gaming licence, and aspects of our data processing infrastructure — including server hosting and certain third-party service providers — may be located outside of Malaysia. Where personal data is transferred outside of Malaysia, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard at least equivalent to that applicable under the jurisdiction of our licensing authority.
Such safeguards include the use of data processing agreements incorporating standard contractual clauses, transfer impact assessments where required, and engaging only with third-party processors in jurisdictions with adequate data protection frameworks.
Children & Minors
The kis918 Platform is strictly intended for individuals aged twenty-one (21) years and above. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data relating to individuals below the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory step in our KYC process, and we reserve the right to request documentary proof of age at any point.
If we discover that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, we will immediately suspend the associated Account, delete the personal data in question, and, where applicable, return any deposited funds to the original payment source. If you believe that a minor has created an Account on our Platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
Updates to This Privacy Policy
The Company reserves the right to amend or update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory requirements, or our data processing practices. Where changes are material, we will notify registered Players by email or via a prominent notice on the Platform prior to the changes taking effect.
The most current version of this Policy will always be accessible at https://kis918.cam/privacy-policy. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document reflects the date on which the most recent changes were made. Your continued use of the Platform after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
