All third-party service providers engaged by barca888 are subject to contractual data protection obligations and are permitted to use your data only for the specific purposes for which they have been engaged.

9. International Data Transfers

Due to the international nature of barca888's operations and some of its service providers, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside Malaysia. Where such transfers occur, barca888 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that required under applicable data protection law. This may include contractual protections agreed with the relevant service providers.

barca888 retains your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by our regulatory obligations under the applicable gaming authority licence. Specifically:

• Account and transaction data is retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure for AML and regulatory audit purposes.

• Marketing consent records are retained until consent is withdrawn and for a reasonable period thereafter to demonstrate compliance.
• Technical and usage data collected via cookies and server logs is retained for up to twenty-four (24) months.

At the end of applicable retention periods, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised.
