Data Protection
Sportybet takes seriously every piece of information you entrust to us. This Privacy Policy clearly explains what data we collect, how it is used, who it may be shared with, and your rights as the owner of that data. No confusing technical language — we aim to lay everything out in plain, easy-to-understand terms.
Privacy Commitment
Data protection is more than a legal obligation for Sportybet — it is a core value underpinning the trust of over 500,000 Malaysian members in our platform.
Sportybet uses 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by Maybank2u and CIMB Clicks — to protect all data transmitted between your device and our servers. This means your personal information, passwords and payment details are always secured in transit.
Sportybet members' personal data is stored on servers protected by multiple layers of physical and digital security. Database access is restricted to authorised personnel only, and all access is logged and continuously monitored to detect any suspicious activity.
Sportybet has never and will never sell, rent, or share members' personal data with third-party advertisers for direct marketing purposes. Your information is not a commodity we trade in. This has been our commitment since Sportybet first launched in 2018.
Sportybet's KYC (Know Your Customer) process is designed to verify your identity without unnecessarily exposing sensitive information. Documents submitted for verification are stored in a separate, encrypted system and are accessible only to authorised compliance personnel.
Sportybet's security system continuously monitors for unauthorised access attempts, cyberattacks, and fraudulent activity around the clock. When a threat is detected, our system responds automatically and the security team is notified immediately for further action.
Sportybet gives you full control over your personal data. You may request a copy of all data we hold on you, ask for corrections to any inaccurate information, or request deletion of your account and data at any time — through your account settings or by contacting our customer support team.
