- Payment processors and financial institutions: When you deposit or withdraw funds using a Malaysian payment method — including Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, FPX-participating banks (Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, Hong Leong Connect), Boost, or GrabPay — your transaction data is shared with the relevant payment processor to complete the transaction.
- KYC and identity verification providers: Third-party services engaged to assist in the verification of identity documents. These providers are contractually bound to process data solely for verification purposes.
- Fraud prevention and security partners: Risk intelligence providers who assist Semibola in identifying and preventing fraudulent activity, account takeover attempts, and money laundering.
- Gaming software providers: Suppliers of the casino games, live dealer systems, and sportsbook technology that power the Platform. These providers may receive session and gameplay data to ensure game integrity and resolve disputes.

All third parties with whom we share personal data are required by contract to maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures and to process data only as instructed by Semibola.
07 International Data Transfers
Semibola operates as an international platform. Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than Malaysia, including countries where data protection laws may differ from those in your home jurisdiction.
Where such transfers occur, Semibola takes appropriate measures to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection consistent with this Policy. These measures may include:
- Transferring data only to countries recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection;
- Using contractual clauses that impose equivalent data protection obligations on the recipient entity;
- Applying additional technical safeguards such as end-to-end encryption for data in transit.
By using the Platform and providing your personal data, you acknowledge that your information may be processed outside of Malaysia, and you consent to such transfers being made in accordance with this Policy.
08 Data Retention
Semibola retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations.
- Active account data: Retained for the duration of your account relationship with Semibola plus a reasonable period thereafter to address any post-closure disputes or regulatory enquiries.
- KYC and identity documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of collection, in accordance with standard anti-money laundering (AML) record-keeping obligations.
- Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the transaction.
- Support communications: Retained for a period of three (3) years from the date of the interaction, unless there is an ongoing dispute requiring longer retention.
- Marketing consent records: Retained for as long as your consent is active, plus one (1) year following withdrawal of consent to demonstrate compliance.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents re-identification. Where anonymisation is not practicable, data is securely destroyed using industry-standard methods.

- Incident response procedures: Semibola maintains a documented data breach response plan. In the event of a security incident affecting your personal data, we will notify affected individuals in accordance with our obligations under applicable law.
10 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Semibola uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate, secure, and improve the Platform. The categories of cookies we use are as follows:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the Platform to function correctly. They enable core functions such as user authentication, session management, and security features. They cannot be disabled without impairing Platform functionality.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the Platform to remember your preferences and settings — such as your chosen language, region, and display preferences — to provide a more personalised experience.

- Security & Fraud Prevention Cookies: These cookies assist in detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, bot traffic, and account takeover attempts by identifying unusual usage patterns.
Semibola does not use third-party advertising cookies or share cookie-based data with advertising networks for targeted marketing purposes.
You may manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to use the Platform. For further information on managing cookies, refer to your browser's help documentation.

12 Minors & Age Policy
The Semibola Platform is strictly intended for individuals aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from persons under 21.
All new registrations are subject to age verification as part of the KYC process. Where Semibola becomes aware that personal data has been submitted by or on behalf of a person under 21, we will immediately close the relevant account, delete the associated personal data to the extent permitted by law, and return any deposited funds to the source payment method.
If you believe that a person under 21 has registered an account on Semibola, please contact our support team immediately via live chat.
13 Third-Party Services & Links
The Platform integrates with various third-party services to deliver its features — including payment processing gateways for Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, FPX, and other Malaysian payment methods, as well as live casino and gaming software providers. When you use these integrated services, your data may be processed by the relevant third party in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Semibola is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party service providers. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you engage with in connection with your use of the Platform. Our integration of a third-party service does not constitute an endorsement of that provider's privacy practices.
14 Marketing Communications & Opt-Out
With your consent, Semibola may send you promotional communications by email or in-app notification. These communications may include information about new features, promotions, bonus offers, and events relevant to Malaysian players — such as Liga Super Malaysia season promotions, EPL betting offers, and special MYR deposit bonuses.
You may opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by:
- Clicking the "Unsubscribe" link included in any promotional email;
- Adjusting your communication preferences through your account settings; or
- Contacting our support team via live chat with a specific request to opt out of all marketing communications.
Opting out of marketing communications will not affect the delivery of transactional communications — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, KYC status updates, or account security alerts — which are required for the operation of your account.
15 Amendments to This Policy
Semibola reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. Where changes are material, we will provide advance notice to registered Players via email notification or a prominent in-platform notice.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised each time the Policy is amended. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Platform following the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
If you do not agree with a revised Policy, you should cease using the Platform and may request account closure through our support team. Any personal data collected prior to the effective date of a revised Policy will continue to be processed in accordance with the Policy version in force at the time of collection, to the extent required by applicable law.
