Important Note: This Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices of the irokok platform. By using our platform, you agree to the collection and use of information as described herein. Please read this document carefully before using irokok's services.
1 Information We Collect
Irokok collects your personal information when you register an account, make financial transactions, contact the support team, or use any feature within our platform. Below are the categories of information we collect:
Personal Identification Information
During registration, we request your full name, date of birth, identity card number (MyKad) or passport number, email address, mobile phone number, and residential address. This information is required to verify your identity and confirm that you meet the platform's minimum age eligibility.
Financial Information
For the purpose of processing deposits and withdrawals, we collect bank account information, digital wallet account numbers (such as Touch 'n Go eWallet and GrabPay), and financial transaction records made through the platform. irokok does not store credit card information directly — all card processing is handled by trusted, registered payment providers.
Platform Usage Information
We automatically record technical data when you use the platform, including IP address, device and browser type, operating system, pages visited, session duration, and gaming activity patterns. This data is used solely to improve platform performance and detect suspicious activity.
KYC Documents
As part of the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, we collect copies of identity documents, proof of address, and proof of payment method ownership. All documents are stored in encrypted systems and are accessible only to authorised personnel.
We never collect information that is not needed. Every piece of data we collect has a clear purpose, stated explicitly in this Privacy Policy.

- Account Management: Creating, verifying, and managing your user account, including the secure login process.

3 Information Sharing
Irokok does not sell or rent your personal data to anyone. However, there are limited situations where we may need to share your information with certain parties:
Trusted Service Providers
We work with third-party service providers that help us operate the platform, including payment processing providers, secure cloud services, and licensed gaming software providers. All these partners are required to comply with privacy standards equal to or stricter than those practised by irokok.
Legal Requirements
Irokok may be required to disclose user information to government authorities, regulatory bodies, or law enforcement agencies when legally obligated to do so under applicable Malaysian law, including in cases involving financial crime investigations or money laundering.

In situations where it is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of irokok, its users, or the public, we reserve the right to share relevant information with the appropriate parties as permitted or required by law.
4 Data Security
The security of user data is irokok's highest priority. We implement multiple layers of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:
- 256-bit SSL Encryption for all data transmissions between your browser and irokok's servers.
- At-rest data encryption for all records stored within our databases.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) available to all user accounts as an added layer of security.
- 24/7 Security Monitoring by automated threat detection systems and a dedicated security team.
- Regular security audits by independent cybersecurity firms to identify and remediate any vulnerabilities.
- Strict Access Control ensuring that only authorised personnel can access user data, and only to the extent necessary for their role.
While we apply industry-best security measures, no system can guarantee 100% absolute security. We encourage users to also take precautions such as using strong passwords and not sharing login credentials.
