Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The Winnow44 Platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate core platform functionality and to improve your experience as a player. The following categories of cookies are in use:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the Platform to function. They maintain your logged-in session state, remember your language preferences, and enable secure authentication. These cookies cannot be disabled without disrupting Platform functionality.
  • Functional cookies: These remember your preferences such as display settings and responsible gambling limit configurations, allowing us to provide a more consistent experience across sessions.

Data Security Measures

Winnow44 implements a layered approach to data security, applying technical and organisational measures commensurate with the sensitivity of the personal data we hold. Our security framework includes:

  • Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and the Winnow44 Platform is protected using TLS 1.2 or higher (256-bit SSL encryption). This applies to all account interactions, payment processing, and API communications with third-party service providers.
  • Encryption at rest: Sensitive personal data stored in our systems, including KYC documents, payment method identifiers, and authentication credentials, is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption protocols.
  • Access controls: Access to personal data is restricted on a need-to-know basis. Winnow44 staff are granted system access only to the minimum data necessary to perform their specific role. All access events are logged.
  • Password security: Account passwords are stored in hashed form using a strong one-way algorithm. Winnow44 does not have the ability to retrieve plain-text passwords and will never ask you for your password through any channel.
  • Incident response: Winnow44 maintains an internal data breach response procedure. In the event of a data security incident that poses a risk to your rights and interests, we will notify affected players without undue delay through the registered contact channels on file.

While Winnow44 applies robust security measures, no internet-based system can be guaranteed completely secure. Players are encouraged to maintain strong, unique passwords and to notify our support team immediately if they suspect any unauthorised access to their account.

11

International Data Transfers

Winnow44 is a platform primarily serving Malaysian players. Some of the third-party service providers engaged by Winnow44 — including cloud infrastructure providers, KYC verification services, and gaming software suppliers — may process data in jurisdictions outside of Malaysia.

In all cases where personal data is transferred to a service provider operating outside of Malaysia, Winnow44 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to provide an equivalent level of data protection to that which applies within Malaysia. These safeguards may include:

  • Contractual data processing agreements incorporating standard data protection clauses.
  • Selection of service providers who operate under equivalent or stronger data protection frameworks.
  • Limiting the scope of data transferred to only what is strictly necessary for the service provider to perform their contracted function.

You may request further information about specific international transfer arrangements applicable to your personal data by contacting us using the details in Section 16 of this Policy.

13

Third-Party Links & Services

The Winnow44 Platform may, in certain contexts, reference or interact with third-party services — including payment processors such as FPX, DuitNow, Touch 'n Go eWallet, and Boost — in the course of processing your transactions. These services operate under their own privacy policies and terms of service.

Winnow44 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party payment service providers or banking institutions. When you authenticate a transaction through a third-party banking portal (such as Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks, Public Bank Online, or Hong Leong Connect), the data you enter in that portal is subject to that institution's own privacy terms.

We encourage you to review the privacy documentation of any third-party service you interact with in the course of using the Winnow44 Platform.

14

Children & Minors

The Winnow44 Platform is strictly intended for use by individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data belonging to individuals under the age of 21.

Registration on the Platform requires affirmative declaration that the individual is of legal age. All accounts are subject to age verification as part of the KYC process. Where Winnow44 discovers that personal data has been collected from an individual who does not meet the minimum age requirement, that data will be deleted promptly and the associated account permanently suspended.

Parental & Guardian Notice: If you believe that a minor in your care has registered an account on the Winnow44 Platform, please contact us immediately at the details provided in Section 16. We will take immediate action to investigate and, where confirmed, close the account and delete all associated data.
15

Amendments to This Policy

Winnow44 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes to this Policy — such as the introduction of new data processing activities, changes to retention periods, or updates to data sharing arrangements — will be communicated to registered players via the email address on file, at least 14 days prior to the changes taking effect where operationally feasible.

Non-material changes, such as corrections to typographical errors or clarifications that do not alter the substance of the Policy, may be made without prior notice. The date of the most recent revision is displayed at the top of this page.

Your continued use of the Winnow44 Platform following notification of a material Policy update constitutes your acceptance of the amended terms. If you do not accept the changes, you may request account closure as described in the Terms & Conditions.
