When you visit or use the Platform, certain technical data is collected automatically through our servers, analytics tools, and cookies — including your IP address, device type, browser version, pages visited, session duration, and in-game activity. This data is collected to maintain platform security, detect fraud, and improve your user experience.

We may receive personal data about you from authorised third-party service providers, including: identity verification and KYC service providers; payment processors and e-wallet operators; fraud prevention and AML screening services; and analytics providers operating under data processing agreements with HibikiWin.

- Account Management: Creating, maintaining, verifying, and administering your registered player account, including processing deposits and withdrawals in MYR and supported cryptocurrencies.
- Regulatory Compliance: Fulfilling our obligations under applicable international gaming licensing requirements, anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, and KYC mandates — including age verification to enforce our strict 21+ minimum age policy.
- Fraud Prevention & Security: Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraudulent activity, account takeover attempts, money laundering, and other prohibited conduct that threatens the integrity of the Platform or the safety of our players.
- Service Improvement: Analysing aggregated usage data to understand how the Platform is used, identify technical issues, improve game performance, and develop new features that better serve our Malaysian player community.
- Responsible Gambling: Monitoring wagering patterns and account behaviour to identify players who may be at risk, enabling our responsible gambling team to intervene appropriately and provide access to support resources.
- Customer Support: Responding to your queries, complaints, and support requests in a timely and effective manner, and maintaining records of interactions for quality assurance and dispute resolution.

Legal Basis for Processing
HibikiWin processes personal data on the following legal grounds, depending on the specific purpose of processing:
- Performance of Contract: Processing that is necessary to provide you with the services you have requested — including account management, payment processing, and game delivery — is based on the contractual relationship established when you register and accept our Terms & Conditions.
- Legal Obligation: Processing required for us to comply with our regulatory obligations under applicable international gaming licensing conditions, AML laws, and KYC requirements is carried out on the basis of legal obligation.
- Legitimate Interests: Fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gambling monitoring, and service improvement activities are carried out on the basis of HibikiWin's legitimate interests, provided those interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
- Consent: Marketing communications and certain non-essential cookie placements are processed solely on the basis of your explicit, freely given consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Data Sharing
HibikiWin does not sell, rent, or otherwise commercially exploit your personal data. We share your data only in the following limited and clearly defined circumstances:
7.1 Service Providers (Data Processors)
We engage third-party companies to provide services on our behalf — including KYC and identity verification providers, payment processors (covering e-wallets such as Touch 'n Go and GrabPay as well as FPX-connected banks), hosting and infrastructure providers, customer support platform providers, and fraud detection services. These parties act as data processors under written agreements that restrict their use of your data to the specific service they provide for us.
7.2 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities
Where required by applicable law, court order, or the instructions of a competent regulatory or law enforcement authority, we may disclose personal data without prior notice to you. We will, where legally permissible, attempt to notify you of any such disclosure.
7.3 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of HibikiWin's business assets, personal data held about registered players may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will provide reasonable advance notice of any such transfer and the applicable privacy terms of the successor entity.
Data Retention
HibikiWin retains personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable licensing conditions and legal obligations. Our standard retention periods are as follows:
- Account and Identity Data: Retained for the duration of the active account relationship plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, as required under applicable AML and gaming licensing obligations.
- Transaction and Financial Records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the transaction, in compliance with international financial record-keeping requirements.
- KYC Documentation: Retained for five (5) years from the date of account closure or the completion of the relevant verification process, whichever is later.
- Support Communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the interaction for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
- Marketing Preferences and Consent Records: Retained until consent is withdrawn plus an additional two (2) years for audit trail purposes.
- Technical and Usage Logs: Typically retained for twelve (12) months for security and fraud prevention purposes, unless a longer period is required for an active investigation.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be attributed to any identifiable individual.
Data Security
HibikiWin implements and maintains a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the Platform is encrypted in transit using current-generation TLS protocols.
- AES-256 Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal and financial data stored on our servers is encrypted at rest using AES-256 symmetric encryption.
- Access Controls: Personal data is accessible only to authorised personnel who require it for their specific job function. Access is granted on a least-privilege basis and reviewed regularly.
- Penetration Testing: Our systems undergo regular independent security testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
- Incident Response: We maintain a documented data breach response plan. In the event of a security incident involving personal data, we will take prompt remedial action and notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
Notwithstanding these measures, no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are also responsible for keeping your account login credentials confidential and for using a strong, unique password for your HibikiWin account.
