Privacy Policy starbucks88 – Data Protection & Your Information Security

1 Introduction

Starbucks88 takes seriously our responsibility to protect the privacy and personal data of every member. This Privacy Policy is prepared in compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) of Malaysia and applicable international data protection standards.

We believe transparency is the foundation of trust. This document is written in plain language to ensure you truly understand what data we collect, why we need it, and how we use it. We do not hide anything in lengthy, confusing clauses — what you read here is exactly what we practice.

Starbucks88 operates as a trusted online entertainment platform for Malaysian users. Protecting your data is not merely a legal obligation for us — it is a core part of the service we deliver to you every day.

2 Personal Data We Collect

Starbucks88 collects various types of personal data based on your interactions with our platform. Below is a summary of the data types collected and their purposes:

2.1 Data Provided Directly by You

This is information you provided to us directly when registering an account, updating your profile, contacting customer support, or during the KYC verification process. You always have a choice about what you share, though some data is required for us to deliver certain services.

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

When you use the starbucks88 website or app, our systems automatically record certain technical information such as your IP address, browser type and version, device operating system, pages visited, and session duration. This data is used solely for security and platform improvement purposes, not to personally identify you.

We may be required to disclose your data to government authorities, regulatory bodies, or law enforcement agencies when mandated by Malaysian law or a valid court order. In such situations, we will notify you in advance unless prohibited by law.

If starbucks88 is involved in any merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide reasonable notice before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
