Legal Basis for Processing
air168 relies on the following legal bases when processing personal data:
- Contractual necessity — processing required to open an account, verify identity, execute a payment, settle a bet or provide customer support;
- Legal obligation — processing required to meet anti-money-laundering, tax, age-verification and regulatory requirements under applicable law, including Malaysian PDPA obligations;
- Legitimate interests — fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gambling monitoring, product improvement and internal analytics, where those interests are not outweighed by user rights;
- Consent — where a specific purpose requires consent, such as optional marketing communications or non-essential cookies, and consent can be withdrawn without detriment to core account services.
Section 6
Data Sharing and Disclosure
air168 does not sell personal data to third parties. Personal data may be shared only in the following circumstances:
- Payment processors — financial institutions, e-wallet providers such as Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost or GrabPay, DuitNow operators, FPX participants and Malaysian banks, to the extent necessary to complete a transaction;
- Identity verification providers — third-party KYC services used to confirm identity document authenticity and screen against sanctions lists;
- Technology providers — hosting, security, analytics and customer support technology partners who process data as data processors under binding data-processing agreements;
- Legal and regulatory authorities — competent courts, regulators, enforcement bodies or financial intelligence units when required by applicable law or lawful order; and
- Responsible gambling organisations — where a player requests referral or where inter-operator self-exclusion schemes apply.
Third parties engaged as data processors are contractually required to apply appropriate safeguards and to use personal data only for the specified purpose.
Section 7

Section 8
Data Security
air168 applies appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Measures in place may include:
- HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between user devices and air168 systems;
- access controls limiting internal data access to personnel with a demonstrable need;
- security monitoring for unusual login patterns, repeated authentication failures and suspected account takeover activity;
- secure handling and storage standards for KYC documents and financial records; and
- periodic security assessments of technical infrastructure.
Users are reminded that no internet transmission or storage system can guarantee absolute security. Users remain responsible for protecting their own credentials. Any suspected unauthorised access to an air168 account should be reported promptly.
Section 9
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
air168 may use first-party cookies and similar session technologies to maintain secure login states, remember interface preferences, prevent duplicate requests and support platform stability. These technically necessary cookies do not require separate consent.
Where air168 deploys optional analytics or performance cookies, a notice will request appropriate consent before those cookies are set. You may adjust browser settings to refuse or delete cookies, although certain air168 functions may not operate correctly without session cookies. air168 does not permit third-party advertising networks to place tracking cookies on user devices through the air168 platform.
Section 10
Payments and KYC Data
Financial data including MYR deposit and withdrawal records, payment method references and KYC verification documents are among the most sensitive categories that air168 processes. The following specific standards apply:
- Full payment card numbers are not stored on air168 systems where tokenised or reference-based processing can be used instead.
- Verification documents such as MyKad photographs, passport scans, utility bills and selfies are reviewed for identity confirmation and are not used for any unrelated marketing or profiling activity.
- Payment method details must be associated with the verified account holder. A payment from an unverified or third-party source may trigger a review and may result in a return of funds pending confirmation.
- Users should never transmit document photographs or payment credentials through unofficial channels, personal email accounts, unsecured chat services or social media.
- Financial transaction records are retained in accordance with the period stated in Section 7 to meet anti-money-laundering and audit requirements that apply regardless of account closure.

Section 13
International Data Transfers
Where air168 engages data processors or service providers whose infrastructure is located outside Malaysia, personal data may be transferred internationally. Such transfers are conducted under appropriate safeguards, which may include contractual data-transfer clauses, adequacy assessments or other mechanisms recognised under applicable privacy law. air168 will not transfer personal data to a recipient jurisdiction that does not provide an adequate level of protection without first applying a suitable safeguard mechanism.
Section 14
Changes to This Privacy Policy
air168 may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in services, data processing practices, applicable law or technical infrastructure. The effective date at the top of this page identifies the current version. Where a change is material — for example, a new processing purpose or category of sharing — air168 will provide reasonable advance notice through the website or account communication where practicable.
Continued use of air168 after a revised policy becomes effective indicates acceptance of the updated terms. A user who does not accept the revised policy should stop using air168 and contact support to request account closure and data handling guidance.
