Commitment Privacy From Us to You

Six core principles that shape how Bolahiu handles every member's personal data.

Data Minimisation

We only collect data that is genuinely necessary to operate our services. No excess data is collected simply because it is available — if we do not need a piece of information to serve you better, we will not ask for it.

Not Sold to Third Parties

Your personal data has never been and will never be sold, rented, or shared with any third party for marketing purposes. Information you provide to Bolahiu is used solely for the operation of this platform — not as a business commodity.

Bank-Grade Encryption

All data transmitted between your device and Bolahiu's servers is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by Maybank2u and CIMB Clicks. Data stored on our servers is also encrypted to prevent unauthorised access even in the event of a physical breach.

Full PDPA 2010 Compliance

Every aspect of how Bolahiu handles member personal data complies with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). This includes the seven data protection principles set out in the Act — from lawful collection through to the secure deletion of data when it is no longer needed.

Full Data Subject Rights

As a Bolahiu member, you have the full right to access your personal data, request corrections to any inaccurate information, and in certain circumstances request that your data be deleted from our systems. All such requests can be submitted by emailing our team.

Marketing Communications Controls

You have full control over the marketing communications you receive from Bolahiu. Every promotional email includes a working unsubscribe link that takes effect immediately. You can also manage your communication preferences directly from your account settings without needing to contact support.

A Plain-Language Summary of Our Privacy Policy

We collect data to operate our services, process transactions, and comply with applicable laws. We does not sell your data. You have the right to access, correct, and delete your data. All data is protected with 256-bit SSL encryption. For any questions, email us at support@bolahiu.asia.

1Introduction & Scope of Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how Bolahiu ("we", "our platform") collects, uses, stores, discloses and protects your personal information when you use our website and services at bolahiu.asia.

This policy applies to all users of the Bolahiu platform, including website visitors, registered members, and former members whose accounts still retain transaction history. It should be read together with the separate Bolahiu Terms & Conditions.

By registering as a Bolahiu member or continuing to use the platform after notice of changes to this policy, you are deemed to have read and agreed to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the platform and contact us to discuss your data deletion options.

Legal Basis: Bolahiu's collection and processing of personal data is governed by Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). We process your data on the basis of your consent, contract performance (membership agreement), legal obligations, and legitimate interests that do not override your fundamental rights.

2Personal Data We Collect

The following are the categories of personal data that Bolahiu may collect from you during registration and your use of the platform:

Identity & Contact Data

Financial & Transaction Data

Bank name & account number E-wallet account ID (TNG, GrabPay, etc.) Deposit & withdrawal history Betting history

Technical & Usage Data

Sensitive Data: Bolahiu does not collect sensitive data such as health information, political affiliations or religious beliefs. Identity documents (MyKad, passport) are only requested when required for identity verification (KYC) purposes and are not retained longer than necessary.

3How Your Data Is Collected

Bolahiu collects your personal data through several different methods:

  • Directly from You: Information you provide during account registration, profile updates, the KYC process, customer support forms, and email communications with our team.
  • Through Use of the Platform: Data automatically generated when you use the platform — including betting records, transaction history, pages visited, and interaction timestamps.
  • Via Cookie Technology: Cookies and similar tracking technologies used to enhance platform functionality, remember your preferences and analyse how users interact with our website.
  • From Payment Providers: Transaction information shared by payment service providers such as Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow, and FPX banking institutions, solely for the purposes of transaction verification and processing.
  • From Legitimate Third Parties: In certain cases, we may receive information from identity verification agencies or compliance bodies for fraud prevention and legal compliance purposes — subject to applicable law.

4How Your Personal Data Is Used

The personal data we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

  • Account Management: Creating and maintaining your member account, processing registrations, verifying identity, and managing account settings.
  • Transaction Processing: Processes deposits via Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow and FPX, and handles withdrawal requests to your bank account or e-wallet.
  • Betting Management: Records, processes and verifies all your betting activity, including markets for Malaysia Super League, EPL, badminton, MPL e-sports and virtual sports.
  • Customer Support: Providing technical assistance, answering enquiries, and resolving complaints submitted to our support team.
  • Security & Fraud Prevention: Detects and prevents fraudulent activity, money laundering, multi-account usage and bonus or promotion abuse.
  • Legal Compliance: To fulfil compliance obligations under PDPA 2010 and applicable Malaysian laws, including the retention of transaction records for the prescribed period.
  • Service Communications: Sending important notifications about your account, security updates, changes to terms, and operational information directly relevant to your use of the platform.
  • Marketing (With Consent): Sending information about Bolahiu promotions, bonuses, and new offers — only if you have given your consent, and you may unsubscribe at any time.
  • Platform Improvements: Analysing usage patterns in aggregate — not at an individual level — to improve the platform's design, features, and performance for the benefit of all members.

Limited Purpose Principle: Bolahiu will not use your personal data for any purpose beyond those stated above without first obtaining fresh consent from you. This is our core commitment to upholding the purpose limitation principle under PDPA 2010.

5Data Sharing & Disclosure

Bolahiu does not sell, rent, or trade members' personal data. However, in the course of operating the platform, we may share data with the following parties on a limited basis and with appropriate safeguards in place:

  • Payment Service Providers: Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow, and FPX-participating banks — only data necessary to process your transaction is shared.
  • Technology Service Providers: Companies providing the server infrastructure, cloud services, and analytics tools used to operate the Bolahiu platform — bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Identity Verification Provider: KYC service providers that help us verify member identities — subject to data protection agreements compliant with PDPA.
  • Relevant Authorities: Law enforcement agencies, courts or Malaysian authorities when required by law or a valid court order — we have no discretion in such situations but will notify you if we are permitted to do so.

In all data sharing situations described above, only the minimum data required for the specific purpose will be shared. All recipient parties are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations that are equivalent to or stricter than Bolahiu's own standards.

6Data Security

Bolahiu implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:

  • Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your browser or app and Bolahiu's servers is encrypted using 256-bit TLS/SSL protocol. This ensures no third party can intercept or read your data in transit.
  • Storage Encryption: Sensitive data stored on our servers — including passwords (stored in hashed form), financial information, and identity documents — is encrypted to current industry encryption standards.
  • Access Controls: Access to member personal data within Bolahiu's internal systems is restricted to staff with a legitimate operational need only. The principle of least privilege is applied — each staff member can only access the data required to carry out their specific duties.
  • Security Monitoring: Our systems are continuously monitored for unusual activity and potential security threats. Access logs are retained to facilitate investigation should an incident occur.
  • Regular Security Audits: The Bolahiu platform undergoes regular penetration testing and security audits to identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
  • Incident Response Procedure: We have clear procedures in place for handling data breaches. Should a breach occur that affects your information, we will notify you within the timeframe stipulated under PDPA requirements.

Shared Responsibility: While we implement comprehensive security measures, the safety of your account also depends on your own actions. Use a strong, unique password, do not share your login credentials, and notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised activity on your account.

7Data Retention Period

Bolahiu retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the original purpose of collection or to comply with applicable legal obligations:

  • Active Account Data: For as long as your account remains active and you continue using bolahiu's services.
  • Financial Transaction Records: A minimum of seven (7) years from the date of transaction, in accordance with Malaysian accounting legislation and anti-money laundering compliance requirements.
  • KYC Records / Identity Documents: Five (5) years after account closure or the date the document was submitted, whichever is later — in accordance with PDPA requirements and applicable laws.
  • Technical & Security Logs: Between 90 days and two (2) years, depending on the type of log and operational security requirements.
  • Marketing Data (with Consent): Until you withdraw your consent via the unsubscribe option or submit a deletion request to our team.

Once the relevant retention period has elapsed, data will be securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked to any individual.

8Cookies & Tracking Technologies

  • Analytics Cookies: Helps us understand which pages are most popular, how long users spend on the platform, and how they navigate — this information is used in aggregate form and does not identify any individual.

10Data of Children Under 18

Bolahiu is an online betting platform for users aged 18 and above only. We do not knowingly collect or process the personal data of any individual under the age of 18.

Complaints to the Authorities

Understanding Bolahiu's Privacy Policy – What You Need to Know as a Malaysian Player

Many online players skip the privacy section when signing up for a new account — it's lengthy, packed with legal jargon, and most platforms seem to say the same thing. But for an online betting platform like Bolahiu, a privacy policy is more than a formality. It explains concretely what happens to your personal and financial information — including your bank account number, Touch 'n Go or GrabPay details, and transaction history that may involve amounts ranging from hundreds to thousands of ringgit.

The first thing people always ask: does Bolahiu sell my data? The answer is short and clear — no. Your data is not a source of revenue for us. Bolahiu's business model is a betting platform, not a data business. The information you provide — your name, phone number, email, bank details or e-wallet information — is used solely to operate the service: processing deposits via DuitNow or FPX, verifying your identity for account security, and sending important notifications about your account activity.

Second, regarding the security of your financial data. When you make a deposit using Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay or via FPX to Maybank or CIMB, your transaction details are transmitted over a 256-bit SSL encrypted connection. This means the data travelling between your phone, the payment system and the platform Bolahiu cannot be read by any party attempting to intercept the communication. The same encryption standard is used by Malaysia's online banking systems.

One thing Malaysian players should be aware of is their rights under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). The PDPA is Malaysian law that governs how companies may collect and use personal data. It gives you the right to know what data is held about you, to request corrections if any information is inaccurate, and in certain circumstances to request that the data be deleted. Bolahiu fully complies with all PDPA requirements — this is not merely a claim; it is a legal obligation we take seriously.

About cookies — the platform Bolahiu uses cookies for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are essential for the platform to function — for example, cookies that maintain your login session so you do not have to sign in again every time you open a new page. Others help us understand which parts of the platform are used most frequently, so we can focus improvements where they matter most to Malaysian players. These are all standard practices in the technology industry, and we are fully transparent about them.

How long data is retained is a question most people never think to ask — but it matters. Financial transaction records at Bolahiu retained for a minimum of seven years in accordance with Malaysian accounting and anti-money laundering compliance requirements. This is not our choice — it is the same legal obligation that applies to all financial institutions in Malaysia. Identity documents are retained for five years after account closure. After these periods, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

One aspect that we at Bolahiu proud of is our commitment to user control. You can manage your marketing communication preferences directly from your account settings without needing to contact support. If you no longer wish to receive promotional emails about the latest bonuses for Malaysia Super League or EPL fixtures, you can unsubscribe with a single click and it takes effect immediately. This is your right, and we make it easy to exercise.

Finally, if you have any concerns about your data privacy at Bolahiu, do not hesitate to reach out. Our Malay-speaking support team is available via live chat or email at support@bolahiu.asia. Privacy is not something you should have to worry about when playing at Bolahiu — and this clear, transparent policy is our commitment to making sure of that.
