Data Protection epicvip for Malaysian Users

1. Introduction and Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy is issued by epicvip ("epicvip", "we", "our platform") to explain the practices for collecting, using, disclosing and protecting the personal data of users who access the epicvip.org website and all related services.

By registering as an epicvip member or by continuing to use this platform, you are deemed to have read, understood and agreed to all terms contained in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any provision in this document, please stop using the epicvip platform.

This policy applies to all information we collect through the website, mobile applications, email communications and any other channel of interaction between you and epicvip.

2. Personal Information We Collect

epicvip collects various types of information to provide complete, secure services that comply with international licensing requirements. The information we collect covers the following categories:

• Identity Information: Full name, identity card number (MyKad), date of birth, nationality and gender.
• Contact Information: Email address, mobile phone number and current residential address.
• Account Information: Username, encrypted password, login history and account activity.
• Financial Information: Details of payment methods used (Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, FPX, ShopeePay or cryptocurrency), deposit and withdrawal records, and account balance.
• Technical Information: IP address, device type, operating system, web browser type, approximate location data and session cookies.
• Gaming Information: Game history, bets placed, wins and losses for responsible gambling monitoring purposes.

3. Purpose of Data Collection and Use

The personal information we collect is used solely for legitimate purposes necessary for the operation of the epicvip platform, including:

• Verifying user identity during new account registration in accordance with international licensing requirements.
• Processing deposits and withdrawals through supported payment methods.
• Providing 24/7 customer support via live chat and email in Malay and English.
• Sending important account-related notifications such as transaction confirmations, password changes and security updates.
• Monitoring gaming activity to detect concerning gambling patterns and implement appropriate protective measures.
• Improving the user experience through aggregated and anonymised analysis of platform usage.
• Complying with legal requirements, court orders or directions from lawful authorities.

4. Sharing Information with Third Parties

epicvip firmly upholds the principle that user data is confidential and not to be shared indiscriminately. However, there are limited situations where sharing information may be necessary:

• Payment Service Providers: Transaction information is shared with recognised payment processors for verification and processing purposes only. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
• Regulatory Authorities: epicvip complies with lawful information requests from relevant licensing regulatory bodies, courts or law enforcement agencies in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
• Technology Providers: Technical partners that support platform operations (such as cloud and cybersecurity services) may process certain data, but they are subject to privacy policies that meet epicvip's standards.
• Business Transfers: If epicvip is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset transfer, user information may be transferred as part of that process. Users will be notified in advance should this occur.

In all of the above situations, epicvip ensures that only the necessary information is shared and that all parties receiving data are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.

5. Data Storage and Security

epicvip implements comprehensive technical and organisational measures to protect users' personal data from unauthorised access, loss, destruction or unintended disclosure.

• All data is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol during transmission.
• Stored data is protected with AES-256 encryption at the database level.
• A role-based access control system ensures that only authorised personnel can access user data.
• Regular security audits are conducted to identify and address system vulnerabilities.
• User passwords are not stored in plain text — all passwords go through a hashing process using a recognised algorithm.

Personal data will be retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose of its collection, or as required by applicable laws and licensing. When data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymised.

8. Protection of Underage Users

epicvip is an online gambling platform intended exclusively for individuals aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect or store personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

All users are required to verify their age during the account registration process. If we find that personal data of an underage user has been collected unintentionally, we will take immediate action to delete that information and close the relevant account.

9. Cross-Border Data Transfers

As a platform operating under an international licence, users' personal data may be processed or stored on servers located outside Malaysia. In such cases, epicvip ensures that such data transfers are carried out in compliance with applicable international data protection standards.

All cross-border data transfers are carried out with appropriate safeguards, including data processing agreements that bind service providers to security standards equivalent to those in this policy.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

epicvip reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, licensing requirements, or relevant legal developments. The latest version will always be available on the epicvip.org website.
