Information We Collect

When you register and use the 176 platform, we collect several categories of information to ensure our services run smoothly and securely:

Account Information

This includes your full name, date of birth, phone number, email address and identity verification details submitted during registration or the identity verification process. This information is required to confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement and to accurately identify your account.

Device & Browser Information

We collect technical information such as device type, operating system, IP address, browser type and screen resolution. This data is used to optimise platform display across different devices and to detect any unauthorised access.

Payment Information

All transactions on 176 are processed in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). We retain transaction records including amounts, payment methods used (local bank transfer, e-wallet), and transaction timestamps. Full bank account numbers or card details are not stored directly by 176 — these are handled by certified third-party payment processors.

Usage Data & Cookies

We record usage activity such as pages visited, time spent, bets placed, and account setting preferences. Cookies are used to maintain login sessions, store user preferences, and analyse platform performance on an aggregated basis.

Purpose of Use of Information

Information collected by 176 is used for the following purposes, all directly related to the provision of platform services:

Account management – Verifies user identity, processes registrations and maintains accurate account records.
Transaction processing – Ensures MYR deposits and withdrawals are processed correctly and securely.
Platform security – Detects fraudulent activity, prevents multiple account usage and monitors abnormal access patterns.
Legal compliance – To meet compliance obligations, including applicable anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) requirements.
Service improvement – Analysing aggregated usage patterns to improve the interface, platform speed, and overall user experience.
Service communications – Sending account-related notifications, security updates, or necessary service communications.

176 does not use user data for third-party marketing purposes without your consent.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The 176 platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure a smooth, consistent user experience. We use three types of cookies:

Session cookies – Temporary and automatically deleted when you close your browser. Used to maintain your login status during an active session.
Persistent cookies – Stored on your device for longer periods to remember your preferences, such as your chosen language and display settings.
Analytics Cookies – Collecting anonymised usage data to help us understand how users interact with the platform, enabling us to make ongoing improvements.

You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings. However, blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of the 176 platform, such as the ability to stay logged in or save your preferences.

Data Storage, Security & Sharing

Data Retention

Users' personal data is stored on secure, encrypted servers. 176 retains your data for as long as your account remains active, and for a defined period after account closure for legal compliance and dispute resolution purposes.

Security Measures

We use industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) for all data transmitted between your device and 176's servers. Access to user data within our internal systems is restricted to personnel with a legitimate need to access it.

Third-Party Sharing

176 does not sell or rent users' personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. We may share necessary information with certified payment processors (for processing MYR transactions), technical service providers bound by confidentiality agreements, or relevant authorities when required by law.
