5. Cookies

abc8 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience on the platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Here is how abc8 uses them:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the platform to function. These keep you logged in and maintain your session securely. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without affecting platform functionality.
• Preference Cookies: Remember your settings and preferences, such as language and display options, so you do not have to set them every time you visit.
• Analytics Cookies: Help abc8 understand how players use the platform — which pages are most visited, where players spend time, and where improvements can be made. This data is aggregated and anonymised.
• Security Cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, including identifying unusual login patterns or suspicious account behaviour.

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the abc8 platform.

6. Data Security

abc8 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and abc8 is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.
• Secure Data Storage: Personal data is stored on secure servers with restricted access. Only authorised abc8 personnel can access player data, and only when necessary.
• Two-Factor Authentication: abc8 supports two-factor authentication (2FA) for account login, adding an extra layer of security to your account.
• Regular Security Audits: abc8 conducts regular security reviews and penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
• Staff Training: All abc8 staff who handle personal data receive regular training on data protection best practices.

7. Data Retention

abc8 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. The following general retention periods apply:

• Active Account Data: Retained for the duration of your account and for a period of up to 5 years after account closure, in line with anti-money laundering regulations.
• Transaction Records: Financial transaction records are retained for a minimum of 5 years to comply with financial regulations.
• KYC Documents: Identity verification documents are retained for the period required by applicable law, typically 5 years after the end of the business relationship.
• Support Communications: Records of customer support interactions are retained for up to 3 years.
• Analytics Data: Anonymised usage data may be retained indefinitely for platform improvement purposes, as it cannot be linked back to individual players.

When data is no longer required, abc8 securely deletes or anonymises it in accordance with our data disposal procedures.

As an abc8 player, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact the abc8 support team and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe:

abc8 is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. During registration, all players are required to confirm that they are at least 18 years old, and abc8 conducts age verification checks as part of the KYC process.

If abc8 discovers or is notified that a player is under 18, we will immediately close the account, delete all associated personal data, and return any funds deposited, in accordance with our Responsible Gaming policy.
