Data Retention
ocmy8 retains personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including compliance with legal retention obligations applicable to gambling operators and financial service providers.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in manner that prevents re-identification.
Data Security
ocmy8 implements and maintains appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These measures include:

- Two-factor authentication options for User Accounts.
- Regular security assessments and vulnerability monitoring of platform infrastructure.
- Incident response procedures for the identification, containment and notification of data security events.
While ocmy8 takes reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their Account credentials and should never share passwords, verification codes or private cryptocurrency keys with any party, including ocmy8 support staff.

Children and Age Verification
ocmy8 is strictly for use by adults aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory step in the Account registration and KYC process.
Where ocmy8 identifies or is notified that an Account has been registered by or on behalf of a person under the minimum age, the following steps will be taken without delay:
- The Account will be immediately suspended and then permanently closed.
- All deposits made by the underage individual will be returned.
- Any winings or bonus funds acrued will be void and forfeited.
- Personal data held in connection with the underage Account will be deleted as soon as legally permissible, subject to any required retention for reporting purposes.
If you believe that an underage individual has accessed the ocmy8 platform, please contact our support team immediately.
International Data Transfers
ocmy8 may transfer personal data to, or process personal data in, countries outside Malaysia in connection with hosting infrastructure, KYC provider operations, payment gateway processing and technology service delivery. Where personal data is transferred internationally, ocmy8 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, which may include:
- Data processing agreements incorporating standard contractual clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms.
- Transfers to jurisdictions that provide an adequate level of data protection under the relevant legal framework applicable to ocmy8's licensing entity.
- Technical security measures applied consistently regardless of the location of processing.
Malaysian users acknowledge that Malaysia does not currently have a comprehensive personal data transfer restriction framework equivalent to some other jurisdictions, and that personal data processed in connection with the ocmy8 platform may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which ocmy8 or its processors operate.
Third-Party Links and Services
The ocmy8 platform may include references to third-party payment providers, game studios or technology services. This Policy applies only to personal data processed by ocmy8 directly. Where you interact with a third-party service — including through a payment gateway operated by Maybank, CIMB, Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost or a cryptocurrency network — the privacy practices of that third party are governed by their own privacy policies.
ocmy8 recommends that Users review the privacy policies of any third-party services they engage with in connection with their ocmy8 Account. ocmy8 is not responsible for the privacy practices or data handling of third-party providers.
Amendments to This Policy
ocmy8 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in platform operations, applicable law or data processing practices. Where a material amendment is made, ocmy8 will endeavour to provide reasonable advance notice through the platform — for example, via a notification on login or a prominent homepage notice.
The "Last updated" date displayed at the top of this Policy indicates when the current version came into effect. Continued use of the ocmy8 platform following the publication of an amended Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not accept any material amendment, you should cease using the platform and close your Account.
