Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is published by BOS138 ("the Platform", "we", "us", "our"), the operator of the online gaming and sports betting platform accessible at https://bos138.asia.

If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you must not use the bos138 platform.
This Privacy Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and our Responsible Gambling Policy, both of which form part of the overarching legal framework governing your relationship with bos138.

Right to Rectification
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data held your account record.

BOS138 will respond to all valid data subject requests within 30 calendar days of receipt.

Note that certain rights may be limited where processing is required to fulfil a legal obligation or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Minors & Age Restriction
The bos138 platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect, process, or store personal data relating to persons under the age of 21. Access by minors is prohibited and actively prevented through age-verification controls applied at the point of registration and during the KYC process.
If bos138 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age without verifiable parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. All winings accumulated by an underage user will be voided and non-payable.
Parental Controls: If you believe a minor in your household has accessed or registered on the bos138 platform, please contact our support team immediately via live chat. We will investigate and take action promptly. We also recommend the use of commercially available parental control software to prevent access to online gaming platforms.
International Data Transfers
In the course of operating the bos138 platform, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside Malaysia by our Data Processors — including cloud infrastructure providers and KYC verification services. Where such transfers occur, BOS138 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data to a standard equivalent to that applied within Malaysia.
Safeguards for international transfers may include standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, or transfers to jurisdictions that have been assessed to provide an adequate level of data protection. If you require further information about the specific safeguards applicable to any international transfer of your data, please contact using the details in Section 15.
Third-Party Services
The bos138 platform may include links to third-party payment processors and integrations with external service providers (such as payment gateway landing pages for Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, and other financial institutions). This Privacy Policy applies solely to the bos138 platform and does not extend to any third-party websites, payment portals, or applications that you may access in connection with using our services.
BOS138 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service before providing your personal data to them.
Policy Amendments
BOS138 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, operational requirements, or applicable legal and regulatory obligations. Where we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify you by displaying a prominent notice on the bos138 platform and, where we hold your email address, by sending you an email notification prior to the changes taking effect.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when the most recent revision was made. Your continued use of the bos138 platform after the effective date of any revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy. If you do not accept the revised Policy, you should cease using the platform and contact our support team to request account closure.
