Cyl8's Six Data Protection Principles

These principles guide every decision we make regarding the personal data of cyl8 members in Malaysia.

Absolute Confidentiality

Your personal data at cyl8 is never sold, rented, or shared with any third party for commercial purposes without your explicit consent. This is not merely a policy — it is a core principle we have never compromised on since the platform launched in 2019.

High-Grade Encryption Security

All personal and financial data belonging to cyl8 members is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same security technology used by banking institutions and Malaysian government agencies. Every transaction made via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow, or FPX is processed within a fully encrypted environment.

Minimum Data Collection

Cyl8 collects only the data genuinely necessary to deliver its platform services and meet legal requirements. We do not collect data that is irrelevant or excessive. Every category of data collected has a clearly defined purpose, as documented in this policy.

Full Control in Your Hands

As a cyl8 member, you have the right to access, correct, transfer, or request the deletion of your personal data at any time. The process for exercising these rights is straightforward, and we are committed to responding within the timeframe prescribed by data protection law.

Full Transparency

This Privacy Policy is written in plain, straightforward language that any everyday Malaysian user can understand — not in confusing legalese. We believe you have the right to know exactly what happens to your data, and we are committed to keeping you informed of any significant changes that affect your privacy.

Malaysian Legal Compliance

Cyl8's handling of personal data complies with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and all applicable related regulations. This means you are protected by a local legal framework specifically designed to safeguard the privacy rights of Malaysians.

Important Note: This Privacy Policy describes how cyl8 handles personal data. By registering and using the cyl8 platform, you agree to the collection and use of your personal data as described in this policy. Please read it carefully and contact us at support@cyl8.xyz if you have any questions.

Introduction & Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy is issued by cyl8 ("we", "the platform") and applies to all registered members and visitors of cyl8.xyz and all related services operated under the cyl8 brand. This Policy clearly explains how we collect, process, store, protect, and share your personal data in the context of your use of our live casino, Sports Betting, e-sports, poker, and all other online entertainment services we offer to Malaysian players.

Cyl8 takes its responsibilities as a data controller seriously. We understand that your trust in how we handle your personal data is the foundation of the long-term relationship we aim to build with Malaysia's player community. Every decision involving personal data is therefore made with your interests and privacy rights as the top priority.

This policy complies with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). In the event of any conflict between this policy and the provisions of the PDPA, the PDPA shall prevail.

All third parties we engage are required to handle your personal data with a level of protection at least equivalent to our own standards, and may only use it for the specific authorised purposes.

Data Security Measures We Practise

Protecting your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure is cyl8's highest priority. We implement multiple layers of comprehensive technical and organisational security controls:

  • In-Transit Encryption: All communications between your browser or app and cyl8's servers are encrypted using TLS 1.3 with 256-bit SSL certificates. This ensures that data in transit cannot be intercepted or read by third parties.
  • Storage Encryption: Sensitive data such as passwords (stored as non-reversible bcrypt hashes), financial information, and KYC documents are stored in encrypted form within cyl8's databases.
  • Layered Access Control: Access to member personal data within cyl8 is strictly limited on a need-to-know basis. Staff may only access data that is necessary to carry out their specific duties.
  • Continuous Monitoring: cyl8's security systems monitor all platform activity around the clock to detect any unauthorised access attempts, suspicious activity patterns, or other security threats in real time.
  • Regular Security Assessments: cyl8 conducts regular penetration testing and independent security audits to identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
  • Staff Training: All cyl8 staff with access to member personal data undergo comprehensive privacy awareness and data security training on a regular basis.

In the Event of a Security Incident: In the event of any data breach that materially affects your personal information, cyl8 is committed to notifying you within the timeframe prescribed by law via your registered email address. A report will also be submitted to the Department of Personal Data Protection Malaysia where required under the PDPA 2010.

Children's Privacy

Cyl8's services are intended solely for individuals aged 18 and above. cyl8 does not knowingly collect, process, or store personal data from anyone under the age of 18.

If we discover that personal data from an individual under the age of 18 has been collected inadvertently, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal data to cyl8 without their knowledge are urged to contact us immediately at support@cyl8.xyz.

For material amendments — meaning changes that significantly affect how we process your personal data or impact your rights — cyl8 will provide you with clear notice via your registered email or a prominent in-platform notification at least 14 days before the changes take effect. This gives you sufficient time to review the updates and make an informed decision about your continued use of the cyl8 platform.

Your continued use of the cyl8 platform after any amendments take effect will be considered your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any amendment, you have the right to stop using the platform and close your account by contacting support@cyl8.xyz.

FAQ – cyl8 Privacy Policy

No. cyl8 has never and will never sell, rent, or trade members' personal data to any third party for their own commercial purposes. Your data is shared only under very limited circumstances as described in Section 5 of this Privacy Policy — specifically with service providers who assist us in operating the platform (such as payment gateways Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, and DuitNow), or when required by Malaysian law. All such third parties are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

To submit a data access request, send an email to support@cyl8.xyz with the subject line "Data Access Request" and include your full name, cyl8 account number, registered phone number, and a description of the specific data you wish to access. We will verify your identity before processing the request to ensure your data remains secure. We aim to provide the requested information within 21 calendar days of receiving a verified request. No fee is charged for reasonable requests.

When you close your cyl8 account, we will delete or anonymise personal data that is no longer required for platform operations. However, certain data will be retained for specified periods as required by Malaysian law — for example, financial transaction records in MYR must be kept for seven (7) years in accordance with anti-money laundering and accounting requirements. KYC documents are retained for five (5) years after account closure. Once the mandatory retention period expires, data will be permanently deleted or fully anonymised.

Yes, it is secure. All financial transactions via Malaysian payment methods such as Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow, and FPX (Maybank2u or CIMB Clicks) are processed through a payment gateway protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. cyl8 does not store bank account numbers or sensitive payment card details directly in our systems — transactions are processed directly through the respective payment platforms, and we only receive confirmation that a payment was successful. This means the risk of your financial information being exposed is kept to an absolute minimum.

Yes, you can opt out of marketing communications from cyl8 at any time. There are two ways to do this: first, update your notification and marketing preferences under "Account Settings" directly within the cyl8 platform; second, click the "Unsubscribe" link found at the bottom of any promotional email you receive from us. You may also contact us directly at support@cyl8.xyz to update your communication preferences. Please note that even if you opt out of promotional emails, we will still send you important account-related communications such as transaction confirmations, security notices, and critical service updates.
