We use the following types of cookies:

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our general retention principles are:

• Active Accounts: Personal data associated with active player accounts is retained for the duration of the account relationship.
• Closed Accounts: Following account closure, we retain personal data for a minimum period as required by gaming regulations and AML legislation — typically five (5) years from the date of the last transaction.

• Support Records: Customer support communications are retained for up to three (3) years from the date of the interaction.

Once the applicable retention period expires, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data disposal procedures.

8. Security Measures

comel888 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers.
• Encrypted storage of sensitive data, including passwords and financial details.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) options for account login.
• Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments conducted by independent security professionals.
• Strict access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.
• Incident response procedures to detect, contain, and report data breaches in accordance with applicable notification requirements.

While we take every reasonable precaution, no system can guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your comel888 account and to enable 2FA where available.

10. Minors & Age Verification

comel888 strictly prohibits access to or use of the Platform by persons under the age of 21. This age restriction applies to all players in Malaysia and all other jurisdictions where we operate, in line with responsible gaming standards.

We implement robust age verification procedures during the registration process, including documentary verification of date of birth. If we discover that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, we will promptly close the account and delete the associated data.

Parents and guardians who believe that a minor has registered on the Platform are encouraged to contact us immediately at [email protected] so that appropriate action can be taken without delay.

comel888 operates internationally, and your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Malaysia. Where such transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that required under applicable Malaysian data protection law. These safeguards may include standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements, or transfers to countries recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection.

comel888 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players via email or a prominent notice on the Platform at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the comel888 Platform after the effective date of any updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal information.
