1776 Privacy Policy – User Data Protection for Malaysia
The security and privacy of your personal information is the top priority of the 1776 platform. This document explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data in accordance with Malaysian legal requirements.
Effective Date: 1 January 2026
What Information Do We Collect From You?
The 1776 platform collects several categories of personal information to provide all users in Malaysia with a safe, seamless, and responsible service. Account information collected during registration includes your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and password stored in encrypted format. We also collect device and browser information — such as device type, operating system, IP address, browser type, screen resolution, and unique device identifiers — for security purposes and to optimise your user experience. Usage data such as pages visited, session duration, click logs, betting preferences, and in-platform activity records are also captured to help us continually improve our service quality.
For processing financial transactions in MYR, we collect information related to the payment method used, partially masked bank account numbers, deposit and withdrawal records, and transaction status. 1776 does not store credit or debit card details directly; instead, payment information is processed through approved, secure payment providers. We may also collect identity verification documents such as a copy of your national ID or passport when required to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements under Malaysia's anti-money laundering regulations.
Types of Data Collected
- Account & identity information
- Device & browser data
- Payment information (MYR)
- Cookies & session data
- Usage & activity data
How Is Your Information Used?
Personal information collected by 1776 is used solely for legitimate purposes necessary to operate the platform efficiently and securely. Primary uses of data include processing account registrations, verifying user identities, handling MYR deposits and withdrawals, and providing responsive customer support at all times. Usage data and in-platform activity are analysed in aggregate to help our technical team identify performance issues, improve the user interface, and maintain system stability at all times. We also use user information to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, collusion, and any attempts to exploit the platform.
In addition, contact details such as your email and phone number are used to send transaction notifications, account security updates, and important service-related communications. 1776 will not use your personal information for third-party marketing purposes without your explicit consent. If you have previously consented to receiving marketing communications, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting our support team.

How Do We Use Cookies & Tracking?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit the 1776 platform, and they play an important role in ensuring a smooth and secure user experience. We use session cookies to maintain your logged-in status while using the platform, while preference cookies save your personal settings such as your preferred language and display layout. Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with the platform in aggregate without directly identifying individuals — this information is used to improve the platform's design and functionality. Security cookies are used to detect suspicious login attempts and protect your account from unauthorised access.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time; however, disabling certain cookies may affect the overall functionality or security of the platform. 1776 does not use third-party cookies for behavioural advertising across other websites. When you access the platform via our mobile app, device identifiers equivalent to cookies may be used for the same purposes described above. By continuing to use the 1776 platform after the cookie notice is displayed, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this privacy policy.

How Is Your Data Stored & Protected?
1776 takes a multi-layered security approach to protect all user personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, modification, or accidental destruction. All data transmitted between your device and 1776's servers is protected using 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption, the highest industry standard for online data protection. User passwords are never stored in plain text; instead, they are processed using robust cryptographic hashing algorithms before being stored in our database. 1776's servers and data storage infrastructure are housed in data centres with stringent physical and digital security controls, including 24-hour monitoring, intrusion detection systems, and regular data backups.
MYR payment and financial transaction information is processed within an environment compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) to ensure your financial data remains secure at all times. 1776 maintains a reasonable data retention policy; your personal information will be kept for the duration your account is active and for any additional period required to meet legal obligations or resolve outstanding disputes. Should your account be closed at your request, we will process the deletion of your personal data in accordance with established procedures within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law.

Is Your Information Shared With Third Parties?
1776 does not sell, rent, or share users' personal information with third parties for commercial purposes without the explicit consent of the user concerned. However, there are limited situations where sharing data with carefully selected third parties is necessary to operate the platform. Approved payment service providers receive only the transaction information required to securely and efficiently process MYR deposits and withdrawals. Technical service providers — such as server hosts, data backup services, and aggregate analytics platforms — may process certain data as part of service agreements that bind them to strict privacy standards.
Where required by Malaysian law, 1776 may be obligated to disclose user information to relevant authorities — such as the Royal Malaysia Police, the Companies Commission of Malaysia, or financial regulatory bodies — in response to a valid court order or official investigation. Any such disclosure will be made only to the extent required by law, and users will be notified where permitted. All third parties working with 1776 are required to sign data protection agreements binding them to security and privacy standards equivalent to our own.

-

Shared only with approved payment providers to process transactions.
-
Technical Service Providers
Server hosts and backup services are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
-
Legal Obligations
