International Data Transfers
g118 operates on an internationally distributed infrastructure. In the course of providing Services to Malaysian players, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside Malaysia. Where such transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, which may include:

- Transfers to third-party processors that have implemented internationally recognised data security standards and are bound by documented data processing agreements.
By using the Platform, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred, stored, and processed outside of Malaysia. g118 will at all times take reasonable steps to ensure that any such transfer is conducted lawfully and that your data remains protected to the standard described in this Policy.
