A plain-language summary of our core privacy commitments. The full legal provisions follow in the policy sections below.
All data transmitted between your device and the syok8 platform is protected with bank-grade 256-bit SSL encryption. Your credentials, financial details, and personal information are never sent in plain text.
Syok8 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third-party marketing organisations, data brokers, or advertisers. Your information is used solely to operate and improve your account experience.
You retain the right to access, correct, restrict, or request deletion of your personal data at any time. Submit a data request to our support team and we will respond within 14 calendar days.
We only collect personal data that is necessary for the lawful operation of your account, regulatory compliance (KYC / AML), and the delivery of our platform services. We do not collect data we do not need.

You may withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time by contacting our support team or using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email. Opting out does not affect your ability to use the platform.

Syok8 implements industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. These measures include:
While syok8 maintains robust security controls, no system is entirely immune to security risks. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials. Please do not share your password with anyone and notify our support team immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.
Syok8 retains personal data for the minimum period necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law or regulation.

Syok8 will respond to all valid data rights requests within 14 calendar days. Where a request is complex or unusually voluminous, we may extend this period by a further 30 days with prior notification. We may require identity verification before processing a data rights request to ensure we are responding to the correct person.
Please note that certain rights are subject to limitations and exceptions — in particular, legal retention obligations may prevent immediate deletion of data categories such as KYC records and transaction histories.
The syok8 Platform is strictly restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above. Syok8 does not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 21. The collection of personal data from underage individuals is a serious breach of our platform rules and applicable law.
Where syok8 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21 — whether through misrepresentation or any other means — we will immediately suspend the associated account and delete all personal data collected in connection with that account, subject to any mandatory legal retention obligations.
If you believe that a person under the age of 21 has registered a syok8 account, please contact our support team immediately so that the matter can be investigated and resolved without delay.
The syok8 Platform is operated from Malaysia and primarily serves Malaysian players. Personal data is processed and stored on infrastructure located within or in proximity to the Asia-Pacific region.
Certain third-party service providers — including KYC verification partners, cloud infrastructure providers, and fraud prevention services — may process personal data in jurisdictions outside Malaysia. Where such transfers occur, syok8 ensures that appropriate contractual safeguards are in place to maintain a level of data protection equivalent to applicable Malaysian standards. This typically takes the form of standard data processing agreements containing data protection clauses.
Syok8 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable laws, or the services we offer. Where changes are material, we will provide advance notice to registered players via the email address associated with their account and/or a prominent notice on the Platform.
Minor updates — including clarifications and non-material corrections — may take effect immediately without individual notification. The effective date at the top of this Policy will always reflect when it was last updated. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how syok8 handles your personal data.
Continued use of the Platform following publication of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
