All third-party Data Processors engaged by Hoki99 are subject to written data processing agreements that require them to process personal data only in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection standards. We do not permit third parties to use your data for their own marketing or commercial purposes.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
8.1 WHAT WE USE

Security Measures
Hoki99 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers.
- Encryption of personal data and payment records stored on our systems at rest.
- Role-based access controls limiting staff access to personal data strictly to those with a legitimate operational need.
- Regular penetration testing and security audits conducted by independent third-party specialists.
- Multi-factor authentication on all internal systems that access personal data.
- Incident response procedures designed to detect, contain, and report security breaches within a defined timeframe.
While Hoki99 employs industry-standard security measures, no transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We encourage all Users to maintain strong, unique passwords and to enable two-factor authentication on their Accounts.
Minors & Age Restriction Policy
The Hoki99 Platform is strictly restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. All accounts are subject to mandatory KYC age verification before a first withdrawal is processed.
If we discover that an Account was registered by or on behalf of an individual under 21 years of age, we will immediately close the Account, void all associated wagers, forfeit any bonuses, and return net deposits. Any personal data collected in relation to that account will be deleted except where retention is required by law.
Parents and guardians who believe their minor may have accessed or registered on the Platform should contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take appropriate action.
International Data Transfers
Hoki99 operates under an international gaming licence and engages service providers in multiple jurisdictions, including payment processors, technology providers, and cloud infrastructure partners. As a result, your personal data may be transferred to and stored in countries outside Malaysia.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, Hoki99 takes reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including entering into data processing agreements with third-party processors that require them to implement appropriate technical and organisational protections for your data.
By creating an Account and using the Platform from Malaysia or any other location, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your personal data to our international service infrastructure as described in this Policy.

Where changes are material — meaning they substantively affect your rights or how your data is used — we will notify registered Users by email or via a prominent notice on the Platform at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect.
We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how Hoki99 protects your data. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date of an updated Policy constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
