Your Rights as a Data Subject
Under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and applicable data protection principles, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by pg688. To exercise any of these rights, please submit a written request to [email protected].
You may request a copy of the personal data pg688 holds about you, along with information about how it is processed, the purposes for which it is used, and the categories of recipients with whom it has been shared.
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, you may request that it be corrected. You can update basic account information directly through your Account Settings, or contact support for changes that require manual review.
You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent on which processing was based. Note that erasure may not be possible where pg688 has legal obligations to retain the data (e.g., AML records).
You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, where you contest the accuracy of the data or object to its processing on grounds of legitimate interest.
Where processing is based on consent or contract and is carried out by automated means, you may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format for transfer to another service provider.
You may object to the processing of your personal data where it is based on legitimate interests — including for direct marketing purposes. Where you object to marketing, processing for that purpose will cease immediately upon receipt of your objection.

Children's Privacy
The pg688 Platform is strictly an age-restricted service intended solely for individuals aged 21 years and above. pg688 does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
Age verification is a mandatory component of the pg688 KYC process. If pg688 discovers that personal data has been collected from an individual who does not meet the minimum age requirement, the relevant Account will be immediately suspended, all data will be reviewed, and the situation will be addressed in accordance with our child safeguarding procedures.
If you believe that a minor has created an Account on pg688 or provided personal data to us, please report it immediately to [email protected] and we will take prompt action.
Third-Party Services
The pg688 Platform may reference or interface with third-party services — including payment providers (DuitNow, FPX, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay), game content providers, and analytics platforms. These third-party services operate under their own privacy policies, which are independent of this Policy.
pg688 is not responsible for the privacy practices or data handling of third-party service providers beyond the contractual data processing obligations we impose on them. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you use in connection with your use of the Platform — in particular, your chosen payment provider.
All third-party Data Processors engaged by pg688 are subject to written data processing agreements that require them to handle personal data only in accordance with pg688's instructions and this Privacy Policy, and to implement appropriate security measures.

pg688 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. When material changes are made, we will notify Members by:
- Displaying a prominent notice on the Platform homepage for a minimum of 14 days before the changes take effect
- Sending a notification to your registered email address where the changes materially affect your rights or the way we use your data
- Updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy
Your continued use of the Platform following the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised Policy. If you do not agree with any updated provisions, you may close your Account by contacting our support team at [email protected].
Previous versions of this Privacy Policy are available on request from our support team.
