Introduction

Policy Overview

Newtawn ("we", "Platform") is an online gaming and betting platform operator serving users in Malaysia. As a responsible digital platform operator, we regard the protection of users' personal data as a fundamental obligation that cannot be compromised.

This Privacy Policy is established to comply with sound data protection principles and fulfil our responsibilities to users. It describes the types of data we collect, how that data is used, who it is shared with, and how you as a user can control your own information.

Newtawn operates on a "minimum necessary data" principle — we only collect information that is genuinely required to provide you with a safe, compliant and high-quality service.

Newtawn never sells, rents or trades users' personal data to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. Your data remains yours.

Data Categories Example Information Resources
Identity Information Full name, date of birth, identification card number, document images Submitted by the user during KYC
Contact Information Email address, phone number Submitted during registration
Financial Data Bank name, account number (last 4 digits), transaction history Submitted during deposit/withdrawal
Technical Data IP address, device type, browser, operating system Collected automatically
Usage Data Games played, session duration, wagering habits Generated by the platform system

Data Collection & Processing Purpose

Why We Need This Data

Every piece of data newtawn collects has a clear and legitimate purpose. Those purposes are as follows:

  • Identity Verification (KYC): To verify that you are who you claim to be, confirm the minimum age of 18, and comply with anti-money laundering requirements.
  • Service Provision: To manage your account, process deposits and withdrawals, and enable you to play on the newtawn platform.
  • Account Security: To detect and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorised access, and platform abuse.
  • Legal Compliance: To fulfil applicable legal and regulatory obligations, including the mandatory retention of transaction records.
  • Customer Support: To assist you with enquiries, complaints, and technical issues more effectively.
  • Platform Improvements: To analyse aggregated usage patterns in order to improve platform design, functionality, and user experience.
  • Responsible Gaming: To monitor wagering habits and identify users who may require additional support or protection.

Newtawn does not use user data for purposes unrelated to platform operations without explicit consent from the user concerned.

Data Sharing with Third Parties

Who Sees Your Data

Newtawn only shares personal data in limited and lawful situations. Parties that may receive your data include:

  • Payment Processors: FPX, e-wallet, and bank transfer service providers used to process your financial transactions. They receive only the minimum data required to complete each transaction.
  • Game Software Providers: Companies such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and PG Soft may receive basic technical data required to deliver games. No personally identifiable data is shared.
  • Technical Service Providers: Parties that assist with hosting, cybersecurity, platform analytics, and technical support — bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Authority: In cases where Newtawn is required by law, court order, or a legitimate regulatory authority to disclose specific data.

All third parties that receive newtawn user data are bound by strict data protection agreements. newtawn conducts regular reviews of the privacy practices of all its partners.

Once again, newtawn never sells user personal data to advertisers, marketing companies, or any party unrelated to the operation of the platform.

Data Security

How We Protect Your Information

Newtawn continuously invests in security infrastructure to ensure your data is protected at all times. The technical security measures we implement include:

  • 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption for all communications between your device and newtawn's servers — data in transit is always encrypted.
  • Stored data encryption for all sensitive information in our database, including KYC documents and financial records.
  • Layered access control where only authorised personnel may access user data, and every access is logged for audit purposes.
  • Real-time threat monitoring that automatically detects and responds to suspicious activity.
  • Independent security audits conducted periodically by third parties to identify and address vulnerabilities.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) available for all user accounts for additional login protection.

While newtawn takes all reasonable security measures, no digital system is 100% impenetrable. You also play an important role by using a strong password and not sharing your login credentials.

In the event of a security incident affecting your data, newtawn will notify you within a reasonable timeframe and take immediate remediation steps.

Why Your Data Safe at newtawn

Six layers of protection Newtawn has implemented to safeguard every user's privacy.

End-to-End Encryption

All data travelling between your device and newtawn's servers is protected with 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by major banking institutions in Malaysia.

Secure KYC

Your identity verification documents are processed and stored in a fully encrypted environment. Access to these documents is restricted to authorised personnel only.

No Excessive Monitoring

Newtawn only collects data that is strictly necessary for platform operations. We do not monitor your device activity outside the platform or collect unrelated data.

Active Fraud Monitoring

Newtawn's systems continuously scan for suspicious activity on your account. If anything unusual is detected, you will be notified immediately and protective measures will be applied automatically.

No Commercial Sharing

Your data is never sold to advertisers or marketing companies. Every third party that works with Newtawn is bound by strict and detailed privacy agreements.

Full Control by the User

Through the newtawn account panel, you can view, update and request deletion of your data. We believe you have the right to full control over your own information.

FAQ about newtawn Privacy

The most frequently asked questions from users regarding data protection.

Absolutely not. newtawn never sells, rents, or trades users' personal data to any third party for commercial or marketing purposes. Your data is only shared with parties directly involved in delivering the platform's services — such as payment processors and game software providers — and only the minimum necessary data is shared.

You may request data deletion through Newtawn customer support. Please note, however, that certain records — particularly financial transaction records and KYC documents — may need to be retained for a specified period in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Newtawn will clearly inform you which data can be deleted and which must be retained, along with the legal grounds for doing so.

When you close your Newtawn account, your data is not deleted immediately. Certain records are retained for defined periods in accordance with regulatory requirements — typically transaction records for up to 7 years and account data for up to 5 years. After these mandatory retention periods, your data will be permanently deleted or anonymised. During this period, access to your data is limited to regulatory compliance purposes only.

newtawn does not store your full bank card number. All payment transactions are handled by third-party payment processors that comply with payment industry security standards (PCI-DSS). newtawn only stores the information needed to verify your bank account identity, such as the account holder's name and the last digits of the account number, for withdrawal verification purposes.

Access to user personal data is restricted to staff with a legitimate operational need — such as customer support agents handling your enquiry or the compliance team conducting KYC checks. All access to user data is automatically logged and monitored. Newtawn conducts periodic internal security reviews to ensure only authorised access takes place.
