1.4 Technical & Usage Information

Automatically as you use the vip123 platform, our systems record:

• Device type, operating system, and web browser used
• Game session data including games played, total wagering amounts, and wins
• Time and duration of each session, along with in-platform navigation history

Vip123 collects personal data through several key channels. Understanding how we collect information helps you make more informed decisions about what you share with us.

• Directly from you — when you register an account, complete your profile, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact our customer support team, or fill in any form on our platform.
• Automatically through our systems — when you access and use the vip123 platform, our systems automatically record technical information such as your IP address, session data, and usage patterns via cookies and similar tracking technologies.
• From trusted third parties — in certain cases, we may receive identity verification information from third-party KYC service providers, or fraud-related information from industry security networks to protect our platform.
• Through the referral programme — if you were referred by an existing member, we may receive basic information such as your phone number or email from the referring member, solely for the purpose of setting up your new account.

Vip123 uses the personal data collected solely for legitimate, transparent purposes relevant to the operation of the platform. Below is a summary table of data usage purposes along with their legal basis:

Regarding marketing communications, you may unsubscribe from promotional emails or SMS notifications at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in the relevant email or by contacting our customer support team. However, essential operational communications related to your account — such as transaction confirmations and security alerts — cannot be stopped while your account remains active.

Vip123 takes a highly cautious approach to sharing members' personal data. In principle, we do not share your personal data except in the following situations, each of which has a solid legal basis:

4.1 Trusted Service Providers

Vip123 works with a select number of third-party service providers to help operate the platform. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and may only use the shared data solely for the specified purposes:

• Identity verification (KYC) providers — to process and verify member identity documents
• Payment processors — to facilitate deposit and withdrawal transactions via FPX, DuitNow, and other methods
• Game providers — limited session information required to deliver the gaming experience (Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, PG Soft, and others)
• Cloud infrastructure providers — for secure data storage on premium-grade servers
• Analytics services — anonymised or aggregated data for platform usage pattern analysis

4.2 Legal Requirements & Authorities

Vip123 may be required to disclose members' personal data to government authorities, law enforcement agencies, or regulatory bodies where there is a valid court order, search warrant, or binding legal requirement. In such situations, we will disclose only the minimum information necessary and will endeavour to notify you where permitted by law.

Vip123 implements multiple layers of technical and organisational security measures to protect members' personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or accidental destruction. Our security approach includes:

• Data encryption in transit — all communications between your device and vip123 servers are protected with TLS 1.3 protocol and 256-bit SSL encryption.
• Data encryption at rest — sensitive data such as financial information and identity documents is stored in encrypted format using AES-256 standards.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) — available to all member accounts as an additional security layer during Login and high-value transactions.
• 24/7 security monitoring — our IT security team continuously monitors platform activity to detect and respond to any security threats.
• Regular security audits — the vip123 platform undergoes regular penetration testing and independent security audits conducted by certified cybersecurity firms.
• Principle of least privilege — staff are granted access only to data strictly necessary for their job duties, and all such access is logged and monitored.
