Privacy Policy
At ikaya88, your privacy is a core responsibility — not a compliance checkbox. This Policy explains precisely what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have as a user of our platform.
Privacy at a Glance
This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the ikaya88 platform, including users based in Malaysia and other jurisdictions. By registering an Account or continuing to use the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy in full. If you do not agree with this Policy, you should discontinue use of the Platform.
Introduction
ikaya88 (hereinafter referred to as "we", "us", "our", or "the Platform") operates the online gaming and sports betting platform accessible at https://ikaya88.cam. In providing our services — which include sports betting, live dealer casino games, slot games, and related gaming products — we necessarily collect and process certain personal data about the individuals who register and use our Platform.
This Privacy Policy (hereinafter "Policy") sets out in clear, structured terms how we collect, process, store, share, and protect that personal data. It also explains the rights you hold as a data subject and how to exercise those rights. We are committed to handling your personal data with the same standard of care that we apply to the security of your funds — with rigour, transparency, and respect.
ikaya88 primarily serves users in Malaysia, including residents of Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, and Shah Alam. This Policy is written in English and applies to all data subjects regardless of their geographic location within Malaysia or internationally.
This Policy is incorporated by reference into our Terms and Conditions. Together, these two documents constitute the binding agreement between you and ikaya88 regarding your use of the Platform.

- "Processing" means any operation performed on personal data, including collection, recording, organisation, storage, adaptation, retrieval, use, disclosure, erasure, or destruction.
- "Data Controller" means ikaya88, which determines the purposes and means of processing personal data collected through the Platform.
- "Data Processor" means any third party engaged by ikaya88 to process personal data on our behalf, subject to contractual data protection obligations.

- "Cookies" means small text files placed on your device by the Platform to facilitate session management, analytics, and certain functional features.

Data We Collect
ikaya88 collects personal data through several channels: directly from you when you register or interact with the Platform, automatically when you access or use the Platform, and in some cases from third-party verification and payment providers.

This typically includes a copy of your Malaysian identity card (MyKad — front and back) or a valid passport, proof of residential address (such as a utility bill or bank statement), and proof of payment method. This data is processed and stored securely and is used exclusively for compliance and fraud prevention purposes.

For Malaysian users, this includes transactions processed via Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, DuitNow, FPX, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, Hong Leong Bank, and cryptocurrency channels (BTC and USDT). Transaction records include amounts in MYR or cryptocurrency equivalent, timestamps, payment method identifiers, and transaction reference numbers.
3.4 Device & Technical Data
When you access the Platform, our servers automatically collect certain technical data, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, screen resolution, and referring URL. This data is used for security monitoring, fraud detection, and platform performance optimisation.

We never share personal data with advertising networks, data brokers, or third-party marketers for their own commercial use. If you ever receive unsolicited marketing from a third party claiming an affiliation with ikaya88, please report it to us immediately at [email protected].
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
ikaya88 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you access a website. They do not contain executable code or viruses and cannot directly access other information stored on your device.

- Essential Cookies: Required for the Platform to function correctly. These include session cookies that maintain your login state and security cookies that help protect your Account. These cookies cannot be disabled without significantly impairing Platform functionality.

- Functional Cookies: Used to remember your preferences, such as language settings, preferred payment method, and display configurations, so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit.
- Security Cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, including bot activity, account takeover attempts, and suspicious login patterns.
7.2 Managing Cookies
You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block, delete, or receive alerts before cookies are stored. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent certain Platform features from working correctly. For detailed instructions on managing cookies in your specific browser, please consult your browser's help documentation.
Data Retention
ikaya88 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. Our standard retention periods are as follows:
- Active Account Data: Retained for the full duration of your Account being open and active on the Platform.
- Account Data Post-Closure: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following Account closure, in accordance with AML record-keeping requirements applicable to international gaming operators.
- KYC and Identity Documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following the completion of the most recent verification process, or longer where required by specific regulatory obligations.

- Anonymised Analytics Data: May be retained indefinitely as it cannot be used to identify individual users.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. If you request early deletion of your data under your rights described in Section 10, we will assess and respond to your request in accordance with our legal obligations.
Data Security
ikaya88 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. Our security infrastructure includes:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols. This applies to all Account interactions, payment transactions, and data submissions.
- Encrypted Data Storage: Sensitive personal data stored in our databases — including KYC documents and financial records — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted to ikaya88 personnel who require it to perform their job functions. All staff with data access are subject to confidentiality obligations and regular data protection training.
- Two-Factor Authentication: Optional two-factor authentication (2FA) is available for all user Accounts to add an additional layer of protection beyond username and password.
- Intrusion Detection: Our systems are monitored continuously for suspicious activity, anomalous access patterns, and potential security incidents.
- Regular Security Assessments: We conduct regular internal and external security assessments of our platform infrastructure and data handling practices.
While we implement robust security measures, no digital system can be guaranteed to be entirely immune from security threats. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users promptly in accordance with our notification obligations.
Your Rights
As a data subject, you hold the following rights with respect to your personal data processed by ikaya88. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us as described in Section 15. We will respond to all valid requests within a reasonable timeframe — typically within 30 days.

Right to Rectification
Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data held in your Account or our records.

Please note that some rights may be limited or overridden by our legal obligations — particularly our KYC and AML record-keeping requirements under international gaming licensing conditions. Where we cannot fulfil a request in full, we will explain the reason clearly in our response.
International Data Transfers
ikaya88 operates as an internationally licensed gaming platform. In the course of providing our services to users in Malaysia and other jurisdictions, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Malaysia, including countries in which our platform infrastructure, data centres, or third-party service providers are located.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to maintain an equivalent level of data protection. These safeguards may include standard contractual data protection clauses incorporated into agreements with data processors, or reliance on the receiving country's recognised data protection framework.
By using the Platform, you acknowledge and consent to such international transfers of your personal data for the purposes described in this Policy.
Minors & Age Verification
ikaya88 does not knowingly collect or process the personal data of individuals under the age of 21 years. Our Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 and above. We implement age verification measures as part of our Account registration and KYC processes to prevent access by minors.
If we become aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21 without appropriate parental or guardian consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated Account. All funds held in such Accounts will be handled in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child may have registered an Account on ikaya88, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can investigate and take appropriate action. We also recommend the use of parental control software to help prevent minors from accessing gambling websites.
Third-Party Services
The ikaya88 Platform may contain references to third-party services — such as payment processors and game studio providers — that operate under their own privacy policies. Where you interact with such third-party services through our Platform (for example, when processing a Touch 'n Go eWallet or DuitNow transaction), that interaction is governed by the relevant third party's privacy policy.
ikaya88 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with, particularly your chosen payment provider, to understand how they handle your personal data.
ikaya88 does not authorise any third party to collect personal data on our behalf except where explicitly described in this Policy (e.g., verified payment processors and KYC verification providers acting as data processors under contract).
Policy Amendments
ikaya88 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Where amendments are material — for example, changes to the categories of data we collect, new purposes for processing, or changes to data sharing arrangements — we will provide notice to registered users via email or a prominent notice on the Platform prior to the changes taking effect.
The "Last Updated" date displayed at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to remain informed about how we handle your personal data. Your continued use of the Platform following the publication of an updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
Contact & Data Requests
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data, please contact us through the following channels. We are committed to responding to all privacy-related enquiries promptly and in good faith.
- Live Chat: Available directly on the Platform at https://ikaya88.cam — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week including Malaysian public holidays. For straightforward Account or data queries, live chat is the fastest channel.
- Email: [email protected] — for formal data subject rights requests, privacy complaints, and detailed enquiries. Please mark the subject line clearly as a "Privacy Request" or "Data Rights Request" so that our team can route your message to the appropriate person. We aim to acknowledge all privacy-related emails within 24 hours and to provide a substantive response within 30 days.
For formal data subject access requests, please provide your Account username and the specific data or information you are requesting. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing the request to ensure that data is only disclosed to the correct individual.
We take all privacy complaints seriously and will investigate each one thoroughly. If you remain dissatisfied with our response to a privacy complaint, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with the applicable data protection authority in your jurisdiction. Malaysian users may wish to refer to the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) for guidance on available remedies.
