4. Disclosure to Third Parties

Hbo9 understands the importance of your data confidentiality. We only share your personal information with third parties in limited and controlled circumstances as follows:

4.1 Trusted Service Providers

We work with selected third-party service providers to operate the platform, including payment processors (FPX, Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, DuitNow), licensed game software providers, and cloud server service providers. All providers are bound by strict data confidentiality agreements and may only use your data for the purposes we specify.

4.2 Legal Requirements

Hbo9 may disclose your personal information to relevant authorities such as Bank Negara Malaysia, the Royal Malaysia Police, or other regulatory bodies where required by law, court order, or valid legal proceedings. In such situations, we will notify you as promptly as possible unless such notification is prohibited by law.

4.3 What We Do Not Do

• Selling your personal data to advertisers or third-party marketing companies.
• Share your data with competitors or other entertainment platforms.
• Disclosing your sensitive financial information to any party not involved in processing your transactions.

5. Data Security

The security of your personal data is hbo9's top priority. We implement multiple layers of technical and organisational protection to ensure your information remains safe from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

• End-to-end encryption: All data communications use TLS 1.3 protocol with 256-bit encryption.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA): An additional security layer to protect access to your account.
• 24/7 Monitoring: A continuous monitoring system to detect suspicious activity in real time.
• Regular security audits: Vulnerability assessments and penetration testing are conducted periodically by independent third parties.
• Internal access control: The principle of minimum access rights is applied — only staff who require data access to carry out their duties are permitted.

While we implement comprehensive security measures, no digital system can be guaranteed 100% secure. We therefore encourage you to take your own precautions, such as using a strong password, not sharing your login credentials, and contacting us immediately if you suspect any unusual activity on your account.
