4. Legal Basis for Processing
j8de processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal grounds, depending on the specific processing activity in question:
- Contractual necessity: Processing is necessary to perform the contract we have with you when you register and use j8de's services — for example, processing deposits, settling bets, and managing your account.
- Legal obligation: Processing is required to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including AML obligations and record-keeping duties imposed by international licensing frameworks.
- Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests — such as fraud prevention, network security, and platform analytics — provided those interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
- Consent: Where we rely on your consent — for example, to send marketing communications — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
5. Sharing Your Information
j8de does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to unrelated third parties for commercial purposes. We may, however, share your information with the following categories of recipients, strictly on a need-to-know basis:

6.2 Managing Cookies
You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair the functionality of j8de.lat, including your ability to log in and access your account.
7. Data Retention
j8de retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our legal obligations, and to resolve any disputes or enforce our agreements. The following general retention periods apply:
- Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your active account and for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in accordance with AML and KYC record-keeping requirements.

When personal data is no longer required, j8de will securely delete or anonymise it in accordance with our internal data lifecycle management procedures.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction and the applicable data protection framework, you may have some or all of the following rights in relation to the personal data j8de holds about you:
- Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how it is being used.
- Right to rectification: If any personal data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected or updated.
- Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal data — for example, if it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and we have no overriding legal obligation to retain it.
- Right to restrict processing: You may ask us to temporarily suspend the processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as while a dispute about its accuracy is being resolved.
- Right to data portability: Where processing is based on your consent or a contract with you, you may request that we provide your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Right to object: You may object to processing based on our legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease marketing communications promptly upon receiving your objection.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact j8de's support team. We will acknowledge your request within a reasonable timeframe and respond fully within thirty (30) days. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
9. Security Measures
j8de implements a range of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
- Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption for all data in transit between your browser and our servers.
- Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including payment details and identity documents.
- Role-based access controls that restrict internal access to personal data to authorised personnel only.
- Regular security vulnerability assessments and penetration testing of our platform infrastructure.
- Multi-factor authentication requirements for staff accessing internal systems that handle player data.
- Incident response procedures to detect, contain, and report any data security breach within the required timeframes.
While j8de takes all reasonable precautions, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. We encourage players to use strong, unique passwords for their j8de accounts and to contact us immediately at the email address below if they suspect any unauthorised activity.
10. Children and Underage Players
j8de is an adult gambling platform. Our services are strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect, use, or store personal data from anyone under the age of 21.
During the registration process, we require all applicants to declare their date of birth and to submit identity verification documents confirming they meet the minimum age requirement. Any account found to belong to an underage individual will be immediately suspended, all funds will be returned, and the personal data associated with that account will be securely deleted, subject to any overriding legal retention requirements.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has registered on j8de without your knowledge, please contact us immediately so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
11. International Data Transfers
j8de operates under an international licensing framework and may process or store certain player data on servers located outside of Malaysia. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect that data to a standard consistent with this Privacy Policy.
These safeguards may include contractual clauses, data processing agreements with our service providers, or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms. By using j8de's services, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of Malaysia, which may have data protection laws different from those in your home jurisdiction.
12. Changes to This Policy
j8de reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or business operations. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players via email or through a prominent notice on j8de.lat, and we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of j8de's services after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the updated terms, you should discontinue use of our platform and contact us to request account closure.
