1 Introduction

W123 is an online entertainment and betting platform operating and serving users in Malaysia. We understand that your trust is the foundation of our relationship, and the most important part of building that trust is being transparent about how we handle your personal information.

This Privacy Policy is written in plain, straightforward language — not complex legal jargon — because we believe you deserve to know exactly what happens to your data. Whether you are depositing funds via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay or DuitNow, placing a bet on a Malaysia Super League or EPL match, or getting in touch with our support team — every one of these interactions involves personal data that we handle with full responsibility.

w123 complies with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and all applicable data protection legislation. We have appointed a Data Protection Officer responsible for ensuring all data handling practices meet the required standards.

Quick Summary: We collect the data needed to run our services, protect it seriously, never sell it to others and give you full control over it. That is the essence of our privacy policy.

3 How We Use Your Data

Every piece of data we collect has a clear and legitimate purpose. We do not use your data for anything unrelated to the provision of our services w123 without your consent.

Primary Purposes for Data Use

  • Account management: Verifying your identity, maintaining account security and processing all financial transactions accurately and securely

  • Responsible gaming: Monitoring usage patterns to identify signs of problem gambling and taking appropriate preventive action in line with our commitment

Marketing (With Consent)

We may use your contact information to send you details about promotions, bonuses, and special offers w123 — but only if you have given consent to receive such communications during registration or through your account settings. You may withdraw this consent at any time via the unsubscribe link in any message or through your account settings.

w123 will never ask for your account password via email, SMS, or any other communication channel. If you receive such a request, it is a fraudulent attempt that has no connection to us.

4 Data Sharing

We understand that most users' primary concern is who else has access to their personal information. The short answer from w123: we do not sell your data to anyone, and we only share data under very limited and lawful circumstances.

Parties That May Receive Your Data

  • Payment processors: Payment service providers such as Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost and banking institutions receive only the transaction information strictly necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals
  • Technology service providers: Companies that support the technical operation of our platform – such as cloud services, customer support systems and analytics tools – are bound by strict confidentiality agreements
  • Identity verification service provider: The company that assists us in running the KYC process to verify member identities and comply with anti-money laundering legal requirements
  • Relevant authorities: Law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or courts where we are required to do so under Malaysian law or a valid court order

What We Do Not Do

  • Does not sell member personal data to advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for marketing purposes
  • No data sharing with industry competitors
  • Not allowing third parties to use your data for their own purposes without your consent
  • Not transferring data outside Malaysia without adequate safeguards

All third parties with access to w123 member data are bound by data processing agreements requiring them to uphold privacy standards equal to or higher than those of w123 itself.

5 Data Security

Member data security is our highest priority w123. We continuously invest in our cybersecurity infrastructure to keep your information protected against the latest threats.

Technical Measures

  • 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption: All communications between your device and w123's servers are fully encrypted — no data is transmitted in plain text
  • Data-at-rest encryption: Sensitive data stored in our databases — including financial information and identity documents — is encrypted using AES-256 standards
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA): Available on all member accounts as an extra layer of security — we strongly encourage you to enable it
  • 24/7 Monitoring: Our security system monitors for suspicious activity around the clock, 24/7
  • Regular penetration testing: Independent security audits are conducted regularly to identify and address any vulnerabilities before they can be exploited
  • Internal access controls: Only staff who genuinely require access to specific data to carry out their duties are permitted to do so – based on the principle of minimum access rights

What You Can Do to Protect Your Account

  • Use a strong, unique password — a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols
  • Enable two-factor authentication in your account security settings
  • Do not share your login credentials with anyone
  • Log out of your account when using a shared device
  • Report any suspicious activity to our support team immediately

FAQ – w123 Privacy Policy

Quick answers to the most frequently asked questions about privacy and data protection at w123.

No. w123 never sells, rents or shares members' personal data with advertising companies, data brokers or any third party for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Your data is used solely for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy — to operate our services, ensure account security and fulfil legal obligations. We make this commitment not just because the law requires it, but because we believe it is the right way to treat our members.

To request a copy of your personal data (also known as a "data subject access request"), contact the w123 support team via live chat or email at support@w123.life, stating that you wish to exercise your Right of Access under Malaysia's PDPA. We will first ask you to verify your identity to ensure data is only released to the legitimate account holder. Requests will be processed and delivered to you within 30 business days from the date the request is verified.

When you close your w123 account, we will delete your personal data that is no longer required within 90 days of the closure date. However, certain data must be retained to comply with legal obligations – for example, financial transaction records must be kept for a minimum of 7 years under Malaysian tax law, and KYC documents must be retained for a minimum of 5 years under anti-money laundering legislation. Data retained for these purposes will not be used for marketing and access to it is strictly limited.

Yes. All financial information, including bank account and e-wallet details, is handled to the highest security standards. It's important to understand that w123 does not store your full card number or e-wallet password — we only retain the information needed to identify your payment method (such as the bank name and last 4 digits of your account number) for withdrawal purposes. All actual transaction processing is carried out directly through licensed payment gateways such as Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, and FPX providers, each of which undergoes their own rigorous security audits.

Yes, you can stop receiving promotional emails and marketing notifications from w123 at any time, with no penalty. Simply click the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any promotional email, or go to Account Settings and turn off marketing communications. Please note that even if you opt out of promotional emails, we will still send important notifications related to your account security and transactions — these are essential service communications and cannot be disabled.

Do not reply to or follow any instructions in that email. w123 never asks for passwords, PINs, or sensitive information via email, SMS, or any other channel. This is a phishing attempt that has no connection to w123. Mark the email as spam, delete it immediately, and contact our support team via live chat on the w123 platform (not through any link in the suspicious email) to report the attempted fraud. If you are concerned that your account may have been compromised, change your password immediately and enable two-factor authentication.
