As a platform trusted by hundreds of thousands of players in Malaysia, we understand that your trust is our most valuable asset. The security and privacy of your personal information is more than a legal obligation — it is a core value that underpins every decision we make.

If you have any concerns about how we handle your data, we encourage you to read this document in full. We are always ready to answer your enquiries through our 24/7 support channels.

Apk18 collects your personal information through several means — directly from you, automatically through your use of the platform, and in some cases, from trusted third-party sources. The following are the categories of data we collect:

We only collect information that is strictly necessary to deliver quality services and comply with legal requirements. apk18 does not collect sensitive data such as your medical information or religious beliefs.

• Data-at-rest encryption: Data stored in our databases is also encrypted using AES-256 standards, ensuring your sensitive information remains unreadable even in the event of a physical breach.

Financial transaction records are kept for a minimum of 7 years in accordance with compliance requirements. Marketing data that is no longer needed will be deleted or anonymized.

Apk18 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their marketing purposes. However, there are certain situations where we may need to share your information:

• Trusted third-party service providers: We work with payment providers, game software suppliers, and technical service providers that help operate our platform. All such third parties are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
• Legal requirements: apk18 will disclose required information to competent authorities when mandated by law, court order, or in the context of financial crime investigations such as money laundering.
• Protection of rights and safety: We may disclose information to protect the rights, property, or safety of apk18, our users, or the public.
• Business transfer: If apk18 is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction, with prior notice given to users.
