1988 Club Privacy Policy – Security
Your Personal Data Is Our Priority

1. Introduction and Scope of Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is issued by 1988 Club ("us", "Platform") and applies to all users who access our website at 1988club.pro, our mobile app, and all related services we offer to members in Malaysia.

We take our responsibilities seriously under applicable data protection laws, including Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). All personal data processing we carry out is based on PDPA principles — lawful collection, fair and transparent processing, and secure, limited retention.

The primary purpose of this policy is to ensure you fully understand your rights regarding your personal data, and to establish a strong foundation of trust between 1988 Club and every valued member. We believe that privacy is not merely a legal obligation — it is a mark of our respect for you as a loyal user of our platform.

• Account Management: Register, verify, and manage your member account, including the KYC process required before your first withdrawal.

• Service Improvement: Analyse platform usage patterns to improve user experience, system performance, and the quality of games we offer.
• Customer Support: Handle enquiries, complaints, and assistance requests more efficiently and effectively.

The legal basis for our data processing is: (i) fulfillment of a contract with you as a member, (ii) applicable legal obligations, (iii) the company's legitimate interests in operating securely, and (iv) your consent for optional marketing purposes.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
