- Personal Data — any information that identifies or can reasonably identify a living individual, either alone or in combination with other information.
- Processing — any operation carried out on personal data, including collection, storage, retrieval, disclosure, erasure, or destruction.
- Data Controller — the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. For data collected through btv168, this is the btv168 operating entity.

3. Data We Collect
btv168 collects personal data in the following categories:
3.1 Registration and Identity Data
When you open an account, we collect your full name, date of birth, gender, residential address (including city — for example, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, or Shah Alam), email address, mobile telephone number, and username. If age or identity verification is required, we may collect a copy of a valid Malaysian MyKad, passport, or equivalent identity document, a recent proof-of-address document, and a selfie for biometric comparison.
3.2 Financial and Payment Data
To process deposits and withdrawals, we collect information associated with the payment method you use. This may include bank account details, FPX reference data, registered names on Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, or Hong Leong accounts, DuitNow identifiers, and where applicable, cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Payment credentials such as full card numbers are handled only by certified payment processors and are not stored in plain form on btv168 systems.
3.3 Transaction and Activity Data
We record deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, bet placements, game activity, bonus claims, promotion history, account balance movements, and dates and times of transactions. This data is used to operate your account, settle wagers, process promotions, and produce the records required by our responsible gambling obligations.
3.4 Device and Technical Data
When you access btv168, our systems automatically receive your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device model, screen resolution, referral URL, session duration, and approximate geolocation derived from the IP address. This information is used to maintain platform security, detect fraudulent access, and improve service performance on mobile and desktop browsers.
3.5 Communications Data
Records of your interactions with btv168 support — including live-chat transcripts, support ticket content, complaint details, and any written correspondence sent to or received from [email protected] — may be retained. We use this data to manage and resolve requests accurately and to identify recurring service issues.
3.6 Responsible Gambling Data
Where you use responsible gambling tools — such as deposit limits, cooling-off requests, or self-exclusion — we record the relevant preferences, dates, and durations. This data is used to enforce controls and to support our obligations to protect players from gambling-related harm.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties
btv168 does not sell personal data to third parties. We may share personal data with the following categories of recipient to the extent strictly necessary for the stated purpose:
- Payment Processors: Banks, e-wallet providers (such as Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, Hong Leong), DuitNow operators, FPX infrastructure, and cryptocurrency processors require transaction data to execute and confirm payments.
- Identity Verification Providers: Third-party KYC and age-verification services may receive identity documents, selfies, and supporting records to complete checks required before account approval or withdrawal processing.
- Fraud and Security Vendors: Risk-scoring services and device-fingerprinting tools may receive technical and behavioural data to detect suspicious activity and protect accounts.
- Game and Content Providers: Certified game providers hosting live casino, slot, and sports-feed services may process limited session data as part of their game-delivery infrastructure. Providers are required to handle this data securely and only for agreed purposes.
- Regulatory and Legal Authorities: We may disclose personal data to competent authorities, law-enforcement agencies, or courts when required by applicable law, a valid legal order, or to protect the rights and safety of players and the platform.
- Professional Advisers: Legal, audit, and compliance advisers may access data subject to binding confidentiality obligations where professional advice requires it.
All third parties acting as data processors are engaged under written agreements that require them to protect personal data, process it only for the authorised purpose, and comply with applicable data protection requirements.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
btv168 uses cookies and similar technologies to support platform functionality, maintain session security, analyse aggregate usage patterns, and where consent has been provided, to personalise content. Cookies fall into the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary: Required for login sessions, security tokens, and core platform functions. These cannot be disabled without breaking functionality.
- Performance and Analytics: Aggregate data about page visits, load times, and navigation paths helps us identify and fix performance issues. Individual user identity is not transmitted to analytics tools in identifiable form.
- Functional: Remember preferences such as language settings, display options, and recently viewed sections so your session is consistent across visits.
Where local browser settings or a consent prompt provide the option, you may control non-essential cookie categories. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent core platform features from working correctly. Most modern browsers also provide controls to manage and delete cookies stored on your device.
7. Data Retention
btv168 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, meet applicable legal record-keeping obligations, and support dispute resolution. General retention guidelines are as follows:
- Active account data is retained for the lifetime of the account plus a period sufficient to close pending transactions and address any final queries.
- Financial and transaction records are retained for a minimum period as required by applicable anti-money-laundering and gaming regulations.
- KYC documents are retained in accordance with regulatory requirements governing identity verification records.
- Responsible gambling records, including self-exclusion histories, are retained for the duration necessary to prevent re-registration during an active exclusion and to demonstrate compliance.
- Support communications are retained for a period sufficient to reference in the event of related complaints or regulatory enquiries.
- Technical logs are retained for a shorter period to support security monitoring and are then deleted or anonymised.
When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised in a way that prevents re-identification.
8. Data Security
btv168 applies technical and organisational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of personal data we process. These include encrypted communication channels (TLS) for all data transmitted between your device and the platform, access controls that limit data access to authorised personnel with a demonstrated need, secure credential storage practices, transaction monitoring to detect anomalous payment activity, and periodic review of security controls.
No digital system can guarantee absolute security. In the event that a security incident affects personal data in a way that creates a real risk to individuals, btv168 will take prompt steps to contain the incident and will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable requirements.
Player responsibility: You share responsibility for account security. Use a strong, unique password, avoid logging in over unsecured public Wi-Fi without a VPN, and contact support immediately if you suspect your account has been accessed without your authorisation.
9. Your Rights
Subject to applicable law and the verification of your identity, you hold the following rights in relation to personal data that btv168 holds about you:
- Right of Access: You may request confirmation of whether we process personal data about you and a copy of the relevant data.
- Right to Rectification: You may ask us to correct inaccurate personal data or to complete incomplete data.
- Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose collected, where consent is withdrawn, or where processing is unlawful. This right may be subject to legal retention obligations that override it.
- Right to Restriction: You may request that processing be limited to storage while the accuracy of data or a legitimate-interest ground is being reviewed.
- Right to Object: Where processing is based on legitimate interest, you may object. We will then assess whether a compelling reason to continue outweighs your interests.
- Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on consent or contract and is carried out by automated means, you may request a structured copy of your personal data in a common machine-readable format.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing relies on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.
To exercise any of the above rights, contact the btv168 support team through on-site live chat. To protect your privacy, we may need to verify your identity before processing the request. We aim to respond within a reasonable period and will inform you if more time is required for complex requests.
10. Children and Underage Users
btv168 is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21. If we discover or have reasonable grounds to believe that an account holder is under the minimum age, we will suspend the account, investigate the matter, and take appropriate action including account closure and reversal of any transactions.
If you believe that a person under 21 has registered using false information, please contact support promptly. Parental-control software providers and responsible gambling organisations publish guidance on restricting access to online gambling sites.
11. International Transfers
btv168 operates with service providers whose infrastructure may be located outside Malaysia. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards — such as contractual data-protection clauses — are in place to maintain a standard of protection that is consistent with this policy.
Game providers, payment processors, and identity-verification services engaged by btv168 are required to process data only for the agreed purpose and to maintain security standards consistent with those we apply internally.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
btv168 may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, payment infrastructure, applicable legal requirements, or data-protection best practices. The effective date at the top of the page will be updated whenever a revised version is published.
Where a change materially affects how we process personal data or the rights available to you, we will provide advance notice through the platform or via your registered contact details. Continuing to use btv168 after a revised policy takes effect indicates acceptance of the updated terms. If you disagree with a material change, you should stop using the platform and may request account closure.
