5.1 Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the platform to operate — including session authentication, security tokens, and load balancing. These cannot be disabled.
• Functional Cookies: Remember your language preference (English, Bahasa Melayu, or Mandarin), display settings, and regional preferences such as currency display in MYR.

5.2 Managing Cookies

You may manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the ringgit88 platform. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions on managing cookie preferences.

6. Data Security

Protecting your personal data is a priority at ringgit88. We implement a range of technical and organisational security measures designed to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your information. These include:

• SSL/TLS encryption on all data transmitted between your device and the ringgit88 servers
• Encrypted storage of sensitive data fields, including passwords (hashed and salted) and financial identifiers
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for all ringgit88 accounts via SMS or authenticator app
• Regular security audits and penetration testing conducted by independent security professionals
• Access controls — internal staff access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis
• Incident response protocols — in the event of a confirmed data breach affecting your rights, we will notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware

While we take all reasonable precautions, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your ringgit88 account and to enable two-factor authentication for maximum protection.
