• Payment Processors: Your transaction data is shared with licensed payment gateways (including those facilitating Touch n Go eWallet, GrabPay, and bank transfers) solely to process your deposits and withdrawals securely.
• Identity Verification Providers: We use third-party KYC and age verification services to confirm your identity and age in compliance with our regulatory obligations.
• Technology & Infrastructure Partners: Our platform relies on third-party hosting, security monitoring, and software providers who access data strictly under confidentiality agreements and data processing agreements.
• Game Content Providers: Game providers may receive anonymised session data to facilitate gameplay, detect technical faults, and ensure fair game outcomes via certified random number generators (RNGs).
• Legal & Regulatory Authorities: We may disclose your data to law enforcement agencies, regulators, or courts where required by applicable law, a court order, or in connection with the prevention or investigation of a criminal offence.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred to the successor entity, which will be bound by the same or equivalent privacy obligations.

All third parties with whom winmy18 shares personal data are required to process that data in accordance with applicable privacy legislation and our contractual requirements. We do not permit our service providers to use your personal data for their own independent commercial purposes.

5. Data Retention

winmy18 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Our standard retention guidelines are as follows:

• Active Account Data: Retained for the full duration of your account with winmy18 plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in line with standard financial record-keeping requirements.
• KYC & Identity Documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of account closure or the date of the last transaction, whichever is later.
• Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years to satisfy financial audit, AML, and regulatory reporting obligations.
• Customer Support Communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the interaction, or longer if the matter remains under active dispute or investigation.
• Technical & Log Data: Typically retained for twelve (12) months for security monitoring and fraud detection purposes, after which it is anonymised or deleted.

Once retention periods expire and there is no legal basis to continue holding the data, we will securely destroy or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.

6. Data Security

winmy18 employs a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit between your browser and our servers.

• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) options for player accounts and mandatory MFA for all internal administrative access.
• Regular independent security audits, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments conducted by certified cybersecurity professionals.
• Role-based access controls ensuring that only authorised winmy18 personnel can access personal data, and only to the extent necessary for their job function.
• Comprehensive data breach response procedures, including timely notification to affected users and relevant authorities where required by law.

While we apply industry-standard safeguards, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. We strongly encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your winmy18 account, enable two-factor authentication where available, and contact our support team immediately if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.
