Important Note: This Privacy Policy describes Sontogel's data protection practices. By using our platform, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this document. Please read it carefully.

1 Introduction

Sontogel is committed to protecting the privacy of every user on our platform. This Privacy Policy document explains in detail how we collect, store, use and protect your personal information when you register, log in or interact with any part of the sontogel platform — whether through our website or mobile app.

We understand that user trust is our most valuable asset. Our approach to data privacy therefore goes beyond mere legal compliance — it genuinely reflects the culture of user protection we have built since the platform was founded. Every data-related decision is made with the interests and safety of our users as the top priority.

This Privacy Policy applies to all Sontogel users, including those registering a new account, active users using platform services, and visitors browsing the website without registering. If you use our services on behalf of another individual, you are responsible for ensuring that person has been informed of and has consented to this Privacy Policy.

2 Information We Collect

Sontogel collects information from various sources to provide a secure, efficient and personalised service to every user. Below are the categories of information we collect:

Data Category Examples of Information How It Is Collected
Identity Information Full name, date of birth, MyKad/passport number Registration form, KYC process
Contact Information Phone number, email address Account registration
Financial Information Bank account number, bank name, transaction history Deposit and withdrawal process
Usage Data Game history, account activity logs Automated systems
Technical Data IP address, device type, browser, operating system Server logs, cookies
Location Data State, region (based on IP) Automated detection

All information collected is for legitimate purposes and is necessary to ensure the platform operates securely and complies with applicable regulatory requirements in Malaysia.

3 How We Use Your Data

The information we collect is used responsibly for the following purposes:

  • Account management: Creating, verifying and maintaining your user account so that the login experience is always smooth and secure.
  • Transaction processing: Processing deposits, withdrawals and bonus payments accurately and promptly through trusted Malaysian payment channels.
  • Identity verification (KYC): Ensuring every user is an eligible individual aged 18 and above, and verifying the authenticity of the information provided.
  • Platform security: Identifying, investigating and preventing fraud, money laundering and any misuse of the platform.
  • Service improvement: Analyzing usage patterns to improve platform performance, interface design and the overall user experience.
  • Service communications: Sending important notices related to your account, policy changes, transaction confirmations and security information.
  • Personalized marketing: Offering promotions and bonuses tailored to your gaming habits — only to users who have not opted out of marketing communications.
  • Legal compliance: Meeting reporting and record-keeping obligations as required by applicable laws and regulators.
We do not use your data for automated decision-making that materially affects your rights without human intervention. Every decision involving account restrictions or payment rejections is manually reviewed by our team.

4 Information Sharing

Sontogel does not sell, rent or trade users' personal data to any third party for their own commercial purposes. However, in the course of operating the platform, there are specific situations where we share your information with the following parties:

  • Payment processors: Payment service providers such as DuitNow, FPX and e-wallet gateways that require minimum transaction information to process your payments securely.
  • Technology service providers: Companies that assist us in the technical operation of the platform, including server hosting, cloud services and analytics tools — all subject to strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Identity verification partners: Trusted third-party KYC services for verifying your identity documents in a secure and legally compliant manner.
  • Legal authorities: Where required by law, court order, or a valid request from a law enforcement agency, we will disclose only the minimum information necessary.
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition or asset sale, user data may be transferred to the new entity, which will continue to comply with this Privacy Policy.
Every third party with whom we share user data is required to protect that information to security standards no less stringent than those we uphold at sontogel.

5 Data Security

Protecting your data from unauthorized access, loss or misuse is an absolute priority at sontogel. We implement comprehensive, multi-layered security measures to keep your information safe at all times:

  • 256-bit SSL encryption: All data transmitted between your device and sontogel servers is encrypted using the latest TLS protocol, ensuring no third party can intercept or read your information in transit.
  • Data encryption at rest: Sensitive information stored in our databases — including financial details and KYC documents — is encrypted using AES-256 standards.
  • Strict access controls: Only Sontogel staff with specific authorisation may access user data, and every access is logged for audit purposes.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA): We provide an additional layer of security through 2FA to protect user accounts from unauthorised access even if your password is compromised.
  • Continuous threat monitoring: Our security monitoring system operates around the clock to detect suspicious activity and respond to cyber threats swiftly.
  • Regular penetration testing: Our platform undergoes regular security assessments by independent cybersecurity experts to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities.
While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure. We encourage you to also take precautions such as using a strong password and enabling 2FA on your account.

6 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Sontogel uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance the user experience and analyse platform performance. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website.

Types of cookies we use:

  • Essential cookies: Required for core platform functions such as login session management and security. These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting platform functionality.
  • Performance cookies: Collecting information on how users interact with our platform to help us improve its design and functionality.
  • Functional cookies: Saving your preferences such as language, region and display settings so you don't have to reset them every time you log in.
  • Analytics cookies: Helping us understand traffic and usage patterns in aggregate without identifying individual users.

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality and user experience of the Sontogel platform.

7 Data Storage & Retention

Sontogel retains your personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable laws and regulations.

  • Active account data: Retained for the duration your account remains active and used to provide ongoing services to you.
  • Financial transaction data: Retained for a minimum of seven (7) years after the transaction occurs to fulfil financial reporting and anti-money laundering legal requirements.
  • KYC documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years after the business relationship with the user ends, in accordance with regulatory compliance requirements.
  • Security logs: Retained for ninety (90) days for the purposes of security incident investigation and fraud prevention.
  • Marketing data: Retained until you withdraw consent to receive marketing communications, or until your account is terminated.

Once the retention period expires, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to your identity.
