jk8a Privacy Policy
Who We Are
jk8a operates the online gaming platform accessible at jk8a.cam. When you create an account, make a deposit, play games or contact our support team, jk8a acts as the data controller responsible for your personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains what data jk8a collects from Malaysian players, the reasons we process it, who we may share it with, and what rights you hold over your own information. Reading this document alongside our Terms & Conditions gives you a complete picture of how your account is managed.
What Information We Collect
jk8a collects data in three ways: information you give us directly, information generated automatically when you use the platform, and information we receive from payment or identity verification partners.
Information you provide
| Category | Examples | When collected |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Full name, date of birth, National ID Card / Passport / Driving Licence number | Registration and KYC verification |
| Contact | Mobile number, email address | Account sign-up |
| Financial | Bank account number, Touch 'n Go eWallet ID, DuitNow reference | Deposit and withdrawal requests |
| KYC documents | Scanned copies of ID documents listed above | Before your first withdrawal |
| Communications | Live chat transcripts, support ticket content | When you contact 24/7 support |
Information collected automatically
- Device type, operating system version and browser
- IP address and approximate location (country / state)
- Session timestamps, pages visited, games launched
- Bet amounts, game outcomes and transaction history
Information from third parties
Payment processors such as FPX Online Banking and DuitNow may confirm whether a transaction was successful. Identity verification partners may return a pass or fail result against the documents you submitted. jk8a does not receive raw financial credentials from these providers.
Why We Collect It
jk8a only processes your personal data when there is a lawful basis to do so. The table below maps each purpose to its basis.
| Purpose | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Opening and maintaining your jk8a account | Performance of contract |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals | Performance of contract |
| Identity verification (KYC) before first withdrawal | Legal obligation |
| Detecting fraud and preventing money laundering | Legal obligation |
| Responsible gaming checks and self-exclusion enforcement | Legal obligation / Legitimate interest |
| Sending transactional notifications (deposit confirmed, withdrawal sent) | Performance of contract |
| Sending promotional messages about bonuses and new games | Consent (you may opt out at any time) |
| Improving platform performance and game recommendations | Legitimate interest |
Who We Share Data With
jk8a does not sell your personal data. We share data only with parties that have a specific, necessary role in operating the platform.
Payment processors
Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, FPX Online Banking and Bank Transfer partners receive only the transaction data required to complete a payment. They operate under their own privacy frameworks and are contractually bound to handle data securely.
Game providers
Providers such as Evolution, JILI, JDB, Habanero, CQ9 and Sexy Gaming receive a pseudonymous player ID and bet data to run game sessions. They do not receive your name, contact details or financial information.
Identity verification services
When you submit your National ID Card, Passport or Driving Licence for KYC, the document scan is passed to an accredited verification partner. The partner returns only a pass/fail status; jk8a retains the original document image on encrypted servers.
Legal and regulatory authorities
jk8a will disclose data to law enforcement or regulatory bodies when required by a valid legal order. We will notify you of such a request where we are legally permitted to do so.
How Long We Keep Your Data
Retention periods are set according to the purpose of processing and applicable legal requirements.
| Data type | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Account registration details | Duration of account + 5 years after closure |
| KYC documents | 5 years from submission date |
| Transaction and bet history | 5 years from each transaction date |
| Live chat and support records | 2 years from the date of conversation |
| Device and session logs | 13 months |
| Marketing consent records | Until you withdraw consent + 1 year |
When a retention period ends, jk8a securely deletes or anonymises the data so it can no longer be linked back to you.

How We Keep Your Data Safe
jk8a applies a layered approach to data security. All data transmitted between your browser or the jk8a App and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. Stored data, including KYC documents and financial records, is encrypted at rest using AES-256.
Access to player data inside jk8a is restricted to staff who need it to perform their role. All staff with data access undergo background checks and regular security training. Administrative actions are logged and audited.
Despite these measures, no internet transmission is completely risk-free. If a data breach occurs that is likely to affect your rights, jk8a will notify you as quickly as practicable and take steps to limit any harm.
Players Under 18
jk8a is strictly for players aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. During registration and KYC, age is verified against the date of birth you provide and the identity document you submit.
If jk8a discovers that an account was created by someone under 18, we will suspend the account immediately, reverse any deposits where possible, and delete all associated personal data within 30 days.
If you believe a minor has opened an account, please alert our 24/7 Live Chat straight away.
Changes to This Policy
jk8a may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will display a notice on the jk8a.cam homepage for at least 14 days before the new policy takes effect.
The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always shows when the current version was published. Continued use of jk8a after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with a change, you may close your account by contacting 24/7 Live Chat before the effective date.
