Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by v12ong ("Company", "we", "us", "our"), the operator of the online casino and sports betting platform accessible at https://v12ong.cam. It describes how v12ong collects, processes, stores, shares, and protects the personal data of individuals ("Player", "User", "you") who access or use our Platform, register an account, or otherwise interact with our services.
v12ong operates primarily for the benefit of Malaysian players, processing all account transactions in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) and supporting local payment methods including Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, DuitNow, FPX, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, and Hong Leong Bank. The nature of our business — online gambling and financial transactions — means we handle sensitive personal and financial data, and we take that responsibility seriously.
By registering an account on v12ong or continuing to use the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein. This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gambling Policy.
Our core commitment: v12ong will never sell your personal data to third parties for commercial marketing purposes. Your data is collected and used solely to operate your account, ensure security, comply with regulatory obligations, and improve your experience on our platform.

Data Controller
v12ong acts as the Data Controller in respect of all Personal Data collected through the Platform. As Data Controller, v12ong is responsible for determining the lawful basis for processing, ensuring appropriate technical and organisational security measures are in place, and facilitating the exercise of your data rights as set out in Section 13 of this Policy.
Where v12ong engages third-party service providers (such as payment processors, KYC verification providers, or customer support platforms) to process Personal Data on its behalf, those parties act as Data Processors and are bound by written data processing agreements that restrict their use of your data to the specific purpose for which it was shared.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of assets, your Personal Data may be transferred to a successor entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer and the privacy practices of the successor entity.
No third-party marketing: v12ong will never share, sell, or rent your Personal Data to third parties for their own marketing or advertising purposes, without your explicit prior consent.
International Data Transfers
v12ong operates under an international gaming licence, and your Personal Data may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in jurisdictions outside Malaysia. Such transfers may occur to countries where our service providers are located, including data centres or KYC verification infrastructure hosted in regulated international jurisdictions.
Where Personal Data is transferred internationally, v12ong takes appropriate measures to ensure that such transfers are subject to adequate legal safeguards, including the use of standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements with binding privacy obligations, or transfers to jurisdictions with equivalent or adequate data protection standards.
Data Retention
v12ong retains Personal Data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, regulatory, and compliance obligations. The following general retention principles apply:

- Marketing Data: Personal Data used for marketing communications is retained until you withdraw consent or opt out, after which it will be suppressed from future communications.
- Support Communications: Live chat transcripts and support correspondence are retained for a period of 3 years to facilitate dispute resolution and quality assurance.
- Technical & Log Data: Server logs, IP records, and session data are retained for up to 24 months for security and fraud prevention purposes.
At the end of the applicable retention period, Personal Data will be securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual.

Data Security
v12ong implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your Personal Data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. Security measures in place include:

Where changes are material — for example, a change to the categories of data collected, the purposes for which it is used, or your rights — v12ong will endeavour to provide advance notice to registered players via the Platform or by email to the address associated with your account. Your continued use of the Platform following publication of an updated Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of and agreement to the revised terms.
