At ph8, your privacy is not just a promise — it is a commitment we take seriously every day. This Privacy Policy clearly explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data in accordance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA).
Six core pillars that ensure your personal data is handled with full integrity and responsibility on the ph8 platform.
All data transmitted between your device and PH8's servers is protected with 256-bit SSL encryption — the same technology used by leading financial institutions worldwide. Your data cannot be intercepted or read by any third party while in transit.
Only authorised staff may access member personal data, and only for designated purposes. Every access is logged and audited regularly to prevent any internal misuse.
PH8 operates in full compliance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). Every data collection and usage process is carried out with your consent and for legitimate purposes only, without exception.
PH8 has never and will never sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. Your data belongs to you — it is not a business commodity.
You have full rights to access, correct, and update your personal data at any time through your account settings. We believe every member deserves to know exactly what information we hold about them.
Once your account is closed and all regulatory obligations are settled, you may request deletion of your personal data from ph8's systems. This request will be processed within 30 business days in accordance with established procedures.
