05. Data Processing
mars4d processes personal data for the following defined purposes:
| Purpose | Data Used | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Delivering Platform content and functionality | IP address, device data, usage data | Legitimate interest |
| Responding to support enquiries | Name, email, message content | Contract / user request |
| Platform analytics and performance monitoring | Usage data, technical data | Legitimate interest |
| Optional account management | Username, email, preferences | Contract / consent |
| Security, fraud prevention and abuse detection | IP address, usage patterns | Legitimate interest |
| Legal compliance and regulatory obligations | All categories as required | Legal obligation |
mars4d does not engage in profiling for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on Users.
06. Legal Basis for Processing
Mars4d processes personal data on the following legal bases, consistent with applicable data protection legislation:
- Legitimate interests: Operating and improving the Platform, monitoring security, preventing fraud and understanding aggregate user behaviour. We balance these interests against user privacy rights and do not override them where individual privacy expectations are higher.
- Contractual necessity: Processing necessary to respond to a support request or deliver optional account services you have registered for.
- Legal obligation: Where we are required to retain or disclose data to comply with applicable laws, regulatory requirements or lawful orders from public authorities.
- Consent: Where mars4d seeks your specific consent for an optional data processing activity — such as non-essential cookies or marketing communications — we will obtain that consent separately and clearly. You may withdraw consent at any time.
07. Data Sharing and Disclosure
mars4d does not sell, rent or trade personal data to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. We may share personal data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: Trusted Data Processors engaged to support Platform operations — such as hosting providers, analytics platforms and email delivery services — who are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions and to maintain appropriate security standards.
- Legal requirements: Where disclosure is required by applicable law, court order, or a legitimate request from a public authority with jurisdiction over mars4d.
- Business continuity: In the event of a merger, acquisition or restructuring of mars4d, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the continuing application of this Policy or an equivalent privacy standard.
- Protection of rights: Where disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent or respond to fraud, security threats, abuse of the Platform or violations of the mars4d Terms and Conditions.
mars4d does not share User data with Third-Party Operators referenced in our content. Any relationship between a User and an external gambling platform is entirely separate from and independent of mars4d's data processing activities.
09. Data Retention
mars4d retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
- Support correspondence: Retained for up to 24 months from the date of last contact to allow follow-up and quality review.
- Account data: Retained for the duration of the account and for up to 12 months following account closure or deactivation, unless a shorter period is requested.
- Analytics and log data: Aggregate or anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely. Identifiable log data is typically purged within 90 days.
- Legal hold: Where data is subject to a legal obligation, regulatory investigation or pending claim, retention will extend until that matter is resolved.
On expiry of the relevant retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised.
10. Data Security
mars4d implements technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration and destruction. These measures include:
- TLS/SSL encryption for data transmitted between your browser and mars4d servers.
- Access controls limiting personal data access to authorised personnel with a defined operational need.
- Regular security reviews of Platform infrastructure and third-party service providers.
- Pseudonymisation and minimisation practices applied where data processing does not require full identification.
While mars4d takes data security seriously, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and should notify us immediately at [email protected] if they suspect unauthorised access to their mars4d account.
11. User Rights
Subject to applicable data protection law, you have the following rights regarding your personal data held by mars4d. Requests should be submitted in writing to [email protected] with sufficient detail to verify your identity.
Request a copy of the personal data mars4d holds about you and information about how it is processed.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data held about you without undue delay.
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary, consent has been withdrawn, or processing is unlawful.
Request that we limit processing of your data in certain circumstances, such as while the accuracy of data is contested.
Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, request your data in a commonly used machine-readable format.
Object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling, where your individual circumstances outweigh our purposes.
mars4d will respond to verified data rights requests within 30 calendar days of receipt. Where a request is complex or numerous, this period may be extended by a further 60 days, with notice provided.
12. Protection of Minors
mars4d is an adult-only Platform. All content on this site is intended strictly for individuals aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect, use or retain personal data from anyone under the age of 21.
If mars4d becomes aware that personal data has been submitted by or collected from a user under the age of 21 without appropriate parental or guardian consent, we will take prompt steps to delete that data from our systems.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal data to mars4d, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and act accordingly.
13. Third-Party Links and Operators
mars4d content may reference or describe Third-Party Operators — including online casinos, sportsbooks and Malaysian payment service providers such as Boost, Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, FPX, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank and Hong Leong. Any such references are for informational purposes only.
mars4d has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the privacy practices, data handling policies or security measures of any Third-Party Operator. We strongly encourage Users to review the privacy policy of any external platform before registering, depositing or providing personal information.
Accessing a third-party website or service referenced in mars4d content is entirely at your own risk and is governed by that party's own terms and privacy notices, not this Policy.
14. Policy Amendments
mars4d reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law or Platform functionality. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.
Continued use of the mars4d Platform following the publication of an updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We recommend reviewing this Policy periodically. Where changes are significant, we may provide additional notice through the Platform or by direct communication where we hold your contact details.
