We collect only what we need, use it only for stated purposes, and do not sell your personal data to third-party advertisers or data brokers under any circumstances.
This Policy forms part of our broader legal framework, alongside our Terms and Conditions. By registering an account or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read this Policy and consent to the data practices described herein. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you should not use the Platform.
Scope: This Policy applies to all personal data collected by mytown33 directly through the Platform, via support communications, and through our payment processing arrangements. It applies to users accessing the Platform from Malaysia and all other jurisdictions.

Data Sharing & Disclosure
mytown33 shares personal data only in the following limited and controlled circumstances:
7.1 Authorised Third-Party Service Providers
We engage carefully selected third-party service providers who process data on our behalf as Data Processors, strictly under written data processing agreements that bind them to the same data protection standards we apply. These include payment gateway operators (FPX, DuitNow providers, e-wallet platforms), KYC identity verification services, and cloud hosting infrastructure providers. These parties are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.
7.2 Regulatory and Legal Disclosure
We may be required to disclose personal data to our licensing authority, law enforcement agencies, or other competent regulatory bodies where we are under a legal obligation to do so, or where disclosure is necessary to prevent, detect, or investigate suspected criminal activity including fraud and money laundering.
7.3 Business Succession
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of all or part of the Operator's business assets, your personal data may be transferred to the succeeding entity as part of that transaction. We will notify affected users prior to any such transfer and ensure the receiving entity is bound by equivalent data protection obligations.
7.4 No Sale of Data
mytown33 does not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for commercial or marketing purposes. This commitment is unconditional.
All third-party service providers engaged by mytown33 are contractually bound to process personal data only as instructed by the Operator and to implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

Data Retention
mytown33 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal, regulatory, or licensing obligations. The following retention periods apply:
- Active Account Data: Retained for the duration of your account relationship with mytown33, plus a period of 5 years following account closure, to comply with AML record-keeping requirements under our international gaming licence.
- KYC Verification Documents: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of last verification, in compliance with anti-money laundering obligations. Original identity documents are stored in encrypted form with restricted access.
- Transaction Records: All deposit and withdrawal records, including payment method identifiers, are retained for 5 years from the date of the transaction.
- Support Communication Logs: Live chat transcripts and email correspondence are retained for 2 years from the date of communication, or longer where the communication is relevant to an unresolved dispute.
- Technical / Log Data: Server log data and device fingerprint records are retained for up to 24 months for security and fraud investigation purposes.
- Marketing Preferences: Records of marketing opt-in and opt-out decisions are retained indefinitely to evidence consent status.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised such that it can no longer be attributed to an identified individual.
Data Security
mytown33 implements a comprehensive suite of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:
- Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and the mytown33 Platform is encrypted using TLS 1.3 (256-bit SSL) — the same standard used by major Malaysian financial institutions.
- Encryption at Rest: All stored personal data, including KYC documents and financial records, is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within mytown33's systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff with access to personal data are subject to confidentiality obligations and undergo data protection training.
- Two-Factor Authentication: Player accounts support two-factor authentication (2FA) for additional login security. We strongly recommend enabling this feature.
- Intrusion Detection: Our infrastructure is monitored 24/7 by automated intrusion detection systems. Security incidents are assessed and responded to according to documented incident response procedures.
- Third-Party Security Audits: Our Platform undergoes periodic third-party security assessments to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
Your Responsibility: While we implement robust security measures on our side, the security of your account also depends on the strength of your password and whether you maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials. Never share your mytown33 password with anyone. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately.
Your Data Rights
Subject to applicable law and the terms of our licensing obligations, you hold the following rights in respect of your personal data held by mytown33. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection team via the email address listed in Section 15.
You may request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. We will provide this within 30 days of a verified request.
You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. Corrections to identity data may require re-verification.
You may request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations. KYC and transaction data must be retained for regulatory compliance.
You may request that we limit processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as where you contest its accuracy.
You may request a machine-readable export of personal data you have provided to us, where processing is based on consent or contract.

Minors & Age Policy
mytown33 is strictly an adult online gaming platform. Access is permitted only to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
Age verification is enforced through mandatory KYC identity document submission before any withdrawal is processed. Where we have reason to believe that an account has been registered by or is being operated by an individual under 21, we will immediately suspend the account, conduct an investigation, and close the account if underage use is confirmed. Any balance held will be returned to the lawful source of funds.
Underage Access: If you believe a person under the age of 21 is using or has accessed the mytown33 Platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We take all such reports seriously and will act promptly.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has created an account on mytown33, please contact our support team without delay. We will cooperate fully to close the account and return any funds to the appropriate party.
International Data Transfers
As mytown33 operates under international licensing and engages third-party service providers across multiple jurisdictions, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Malaysia. These may include jurisdictions where our cloud infrastructure, KYC verification providers, or payment processing partners are based.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, mytown33 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that which applies under our licensing framework. These safeguards include:
- Contractual data processing agreements with receiving parties, incorporating standard data protection clauses.
- Technical security controls (encryption in transit and at rest) applied regardless of the jurisdiction in which data is processed.
- Restriction of international transfers to third parties who can demonstrate compliance with recognised data protection standards.
By using the mytown33 Platform, you acknowledge and consent to the international transfer of your personal data as described in this Policy.
Policy Amendments
mytown33 reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Where amendments are material — such as changes to the categories of data collected, purposes of processing, or your rights — we will notify active account holders via email or in-platform notification prior to the changes taking effect.
The "Last Updated" date displayed at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. We recommend reviewing this Policy periodically to stay informed of how we protect your personal data.
Your continued use of the Platform following notification of any amendment constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy. If you do not agree with any amendment, you may request account closure by contacting our support team.

How We Protect Your Data
Six concrete commitments that underpin every data decision we make at mytown33.
Every connection to mytown33 is secured with TLS 1.3 / 256-bit SSL — the same encryption standard used by Maybank and CIMB online banking. Your data in transit is fully protected.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to advertisers, data brokers, or marketing networks. This commitment is absolute and unconditional — your data is not a product.
Only authorised personnel with a genuine operational need can access your personal data. All staff with data access are trained, vetted, and bound by confidentiality obligations.
We collect only the personal data strictly necessary for account management, KYC, payments, and regulatory compliance. We do not collect data speculatively or without a clear purpose.
Access, rectification, erasure, portability — your data rights are clearly stated and genuinely enforceable. Contact our support team to exercise any right described in Section 11.
We don't hold your data indefinitely. Clear retention periods govern every data category — and when the retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymised.
