At MalaysiaBettingSites.com, we are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect any information you share while using our website.
The short version: we don't ask you for personal information, we don't operate accounts, we don't sell data, and we don't build advertising profiles. What we do collect is technical, aggregated, and used to keep the site running and secure.
Who This Policy Covers
This policy applies to MalaysiaBettingSites.com (MBS) and every page on it.
It does not apply to the betting operators we review. When you click through to an operator, you leave our site and enter theirs. Their privacy policy governs everything that happens from that point, including any account you open, any document you upload, and any payment you make. We have no visibility of it and no control over it.
Information We Collect
Information you provide
We do not collect personal information directly from our visitors. There are no accounts, no logins, no newsletter signups, and no user profiles on this site.
The one exception is our contact form. If you choose to write to us, you'll provide an email address and whatever you put in your message. We use that only to reply and to act on what you've told us — a correction, a complaint, a question. We don't add you to a mailing list.
When you click any outgoing link to another website, you become subject to that site's privacy policy and data collection practices.
Information collected automatically
Our website is hosted on Cloudflare, which automatically collects and stores certain non-personal information, including:
- IP addresses (anonymized)
- Browser type
- Entry times
- Pages visited
This information is used only for website security and performance improvement.
Cookies and Tracking
Cloudflare sets cookies that are necessary for the site to run securely — distinguishing real visitors from automated traffic and applying rate limiting. These contain no personal information and are not used to identify you.
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media plugins, or data broker integrations. We do not build profiles of visitors, and we do not follow anyone across other websites.
Our Cookie Policy lists the cookies this site sets, what each one does, and how long it lasts. It also explains how to block or delete them through your browser.
Affiliate tracking
MalaysiaBettingSites.com is funded by affiliate commissions. When you click a link to a betting operator, a tracking parameter tells that operator the visit came from us.
What this involves, precisely:
- The parameter records that a referral happened. That's its whole function.
- We do not receive your name, email address, account details, balance, deposits, withdrawals, or betting activity. We're told that a referral converted, not who you are or what you did.
- Any cookie the operator sets after you arrive belongs to them, not us.
How we're paid, and what it does and doesn't influence, is set out in full on our Disclosure page.
How We Use Your Information
The limited technical information we collect is used exclusively for:
- Security
- Preventing fraud and abuse
- Performance analysis
- Improving user experience
We do not sell, trade, or transfer your information to third parties.
Clicking our affiliate links will direct you to third-party websites, which have their own privacy policies and data collection practices. We encourage you to review those before providing any personal information.
Legal Basis for Processing
If you're in Malaysia, our processing is governed by the Personal Data Protection Act 2010, as amended by the Personal Data Protection (Amendment) Act 2024, and overseen by the Personal Data Protection Department (JPDP) under the Ministry of Digital.
We process the limited technical data described above on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional website. We do not process sensitive personal data, and we do not carry out automated decision-making or profiling.
If you're outside Malaysia, equivalent rights may apply under your local law — including the GDPR if you're in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom. We honor those rights regardless of where you're located.
How Long We Keep Data
- Server and security logs: retained by our hosting provider for a limited period for security purposes, then deleted
- Contact form messages: kept as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any follow-up, then deleted
We don't retain personal data indefinitely, because we don't hold much to begin with.
Third Parties
| Service | What It Does | Their Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosting, security, and performance | cloudflare.com/privacypolicy |
Betting operators you click through to are not our processors. They are independent controllers of any data you give them, and their policies govern it.
We may also disclose information where required by law, or where necessary to protect our rights, the security of the site, or the safety of others.
Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect any information collected through our website. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, maintains industry-standard security protocols, and the site is served over HTTPS throughout.
No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We can't guarantee absolute security, and we won't claim to — but we hold very little data, which is itself a meaningful protection.
If we became aware of a data breach affecting personal information, we would notify affected individuals and the relevant authority as required under the PDPA.
Children's Privacy
This website is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and over.
We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and we do not market to minors. If you believe a minor has provided information through our contact form, please tell us and we'll delete it.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access any personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Object to our use of your information
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on it
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format
- Request information about changes to this policy
In practice, we hold very little. We don't operate accounts and we don't collect names or email addresses through the site except via the contact form. But if you want to make a request, contact us and we'll respond.
International Visitors
MalaysiaBettingSites.com is aimed at readers in Malaysia, but it's accessible worldwide. Our hosting provider may process data on servers outside Malaysia.
By using the site, you understand that your information may be processed in countries with different data protection laws. We use providers who apply appropriate safeguards to data transferred across borders.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date, and the date at the top reflects the most recent substantive update.
We review this policy at least annually.
Contact Us
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, the fastest way to reach us is our contact form.
For legal, copyright, or privacy notices, email [email protected].
We aim to respond within two working days.
We cannot help with account access, withdrawals, or anything else relating to your account with a betting operator. Those must go to the operator directly — we have no access to any player account.
