This privacy policy explains how Maxim88 Play (maxim88play.vip, referred to as “we”, “us” or “the website”) handles information about visitors to this website. We are an independent informational resource and we do not operate any gambling platform ourselves. By using this website you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
1. Who we are
Maxim88 Play is an independent, affiliate-supported games reference website covering the Maxim88 platform for Malaysian players. We are not affiliated with, owned by, or operated by Maxim88’s parent company. You can learn more about our editorial approach on our About page. For any privacy-related question or request, use the address on our Contact page.
2. Information we collect
This website is a static, read-only resource. We do not require registration and we do not operate user accounts. The information we do collect falls into three categories:
- Server logs: our hosting provider, Cloudflare Pages, automatically records standard request data such as IP address, user-agent string, referring URL, date and time of the request. These logs are retained by Cloudflare for a limited period and are used for security, performance and abuse prevention.
- Analytics data: if analytics is enabled, aggregated and anonymised visit data (pages viewed, approximate location at country level, device type, session duration) is processed to help us understand which content is useful.
- Affiliate-click metadata: when you click a link that leads to the Maxim88 platform via one of our
/go/redirects, the destination site may pass a tracking parameter back to Maxim88’s affiliate network for commission attribution. We do not receive, store or have access to any personal data you submit on the Maxim88 platform itself.
We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers or financial information from casual visitors. If you voluntarily contact us by email, we process only the information you include in that email.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
This website uses a minimal set of cookies and similar technologies:
- Strictly necessary cookies used by Cloudflare for security (for example the
__cf_bmbot-protection cookie). These cannot be disabled without breaking the site. - Analytics cookies, if analytics is enabled, used in aggregate to measure visit counts and popular pages. Analytics data is not used to identify individuals.
- Affiliate-attribution cookies that may be set by Maxim88’s affiliate network when you click through one of our outbound links. These are set by the third-party destination, not by this website, and are governed by the destination’s own privacy policy.
You can clear or block cookies at any time through your browser settings. Clearing cookies will not affect the information available to you on this site.
4. How we use the information
We use the information described above for the following purposes only:
- To operate, maintain and secure the website against abuse.
- To understand which guides, reviews and resources are most useful, so we can improve them.
- To respond to direct inquiries you send us.
- To attribute affiliate commissions earned when a player registers at Maxim88 via one of our tracked links.
We do not sell, rent or trade visitor information. We do not use the information to build advertising profiles.
5. Third-party services
We rely on a small number of reputable third parties to deliver this website:
- Cloudflare — content delivery, DNS, security and static hosting (Cloudflare Pages).
- Google Fonts — web fonts loaded from
fonts.googleapis.com. Google receives your IP address when your browser requests the font files. - Analytics provider (where enabled) — processes aggregated visit statistics.
- Maxim88 affiliate network — receives the click-through when you follow an outbound affiliate link.
Each of these third parties operates under its own privacy policy. Following an outbound link means you leave this website and enter the destination’s data-protection regime.
6. Data retention
Server logs and analytics records are retained for a short period (typically between 30 and 90 days) by our hosting and analytics providers, after which they are automatically deleted or anonymised. Emails you send us are retained for as long as is reasonably needed to complete the conversation and comply with record-keeping obligations.
7. Your rights under PDPA 2010
Under Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA), you have the right to request access to any personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, and to withdraw any consent you have previously given. Because we do not operate user accounts and do not collect personal data from casual visitors, most requests will simply confirm that we hold no data concerning you.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details on our Contact page. We aim to respond to all requests within 21 days.
8. Children and minors
This website is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a minor has submitted information to us, please contact us immediately and we will delete it. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental-control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling-related content. More guidance is available on our responsible gambling page.
9. Security
The website is served over HTTPS with modern TLS encryption. We rely on Cloudflare’s infrastructure for DDoS protection, web application firewall rules and bot mitigation. No method of transmitting data over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change and, where the changes are material, we will post a brief note on the homepage. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
11. Contact
If you have questions about this privacy policy or how we handle information, please use the address on our Contact page or see our Terms of Service. For urgent responsible gambling matters contact NCPG Malaysia or GamCare directly.
