User Rights
Subject to applicable law and certain limited exceptions, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by benihtoto. To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team via live chat or email at [email protected].
Right of Access
You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how it is being processed. We will respond within 30 days of a verified request.
Right of Rectification
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. Some data can be updated directly in your account profile settings.
Right to Erasure ("Right to Be Forgotten")
You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations under AML and regulatory frameworks.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You may request that we restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances, such as while the accuracy of your data is being verified or a legitimate interest objection is being assessed.
Right to Data Portability
Where technically feasible, you may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format (such as CSV or JSON) for transfer to another service provider.
Right to Object
You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling for responsible gambling purposes, where you believe your rights and freedoms override our legitimate interests.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., marketing communications), you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
We will respond to all verifiable data rights requests within 30 calendar days. Where requests are complex or numerous, we may extend this period by a further 30 days, with prior notice. Identity verification may be required before processing rights requests to protect against unauthorised disclosures.
Minors & Age Restriction
The benihtoto platform is strictly intended for users who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
As part of our KYC process, all registered users are required to verify their age before withdrawal functionality is activated. Accounts identified as belonging to individuals under 21 will be closed immediately, with any real-money balance returned via the original deposit method and all gaming activity voided.
If you have reason to believe that a minor has accessed or registered on the benihtoto platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action.
21+ Only. Gambling is for adults. It is illegal for persons under the age of 21 to engage in gambling activities on this platform. We take this obligation seriously and enforce it through identity verification for every registered account.
Third-Party Links & Integrations
The benihtoto platform may contain references to or integrations with third-party services, including payment processors such as Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, and banking systems including DuitNow, FPX, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, and Hong Leong Connect. When you interact with these services, you are subject to their respective privacy policies, which are separate from this Policy.
benihtoto is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party payment provider or service you use in connection with your benihtoto account.
International Data Transfers
As an internationally licensed platform, benihtoto may transfer your personal data to service providers and infrastructure located in jurisdictions outside Malaysia. Where such transfers occur, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, including:
- Contractual clauses that require recipient parties to apply data protection standards equivalent to those applied by benihtoto.
- Transfers only to jurisdictions with adequacy determinations, or where alternative safeguards are documented and enforceable.
- Technical measures including encryption of data in transit and at rest, regardless of the geographic location of processing.
Amendments to This Policy
benihtoto reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes will be communicated to registered users via the platform notification system or by email to the address on record, at least seven (7) days prior to the effective date of the change.
