01 Introduction

Neewtown is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data security of all our platform users. This Privacy Policy explains in detail how we collect, store, use and protect the information you provide to us when registering and using Neewtown's services.

As an online gaming platform operating in Malaysia, Neewtown complies with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and all applicable legislation. We take a "privacy by design" approach — meaning data protection is built directly into our systems and processes, not added as an afterthought.

By registering and using the Neewtown platform, you agree to the data processing practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the platform and contact us to request account deletion.

This Privacy Policy should be read together with Terms and Conditions Neewtown. Both documents together form the complete agreement between you and our platform.

FAQ – Privacy Policy

The most frequently asked questions about privacy and data protection for Neewtown users

Absolutely not. Neewtown does not sell, rent, or share users' personal data with advertisers or third-party marketing companies for commercial purposes. Your data is used solely to operate the platform, process transactions, meet legal requirements, and improve the user experience. This is a non-negotiable commitment.

You may request deletion of your personal data by contacting the Neewtown support team via Live Chat or email at [email protected]. Please include your full name and account email address in your request. Note that some data may need to be retained for a specific period to fulfil Malaysia's legal obligations. We will clearly inform you which data can be deleted immediately and which must be retained, along with the applicable retention period.

When you close your Neewtown account, your active data will no longer be used for platform operations. However, we are required under Malaysia's financial laws to retain transaction records and identity information for a minimum of 7 years after account closure. Once this period ends, all your data will be permanently and securely disposed of. You will receive an account closure confirmation via email explaining this process.

Neewtown does not store full card numbers, CVV codes or complete credit/debit card details on our servers. All financial transactions are processed through secure, encrypted payment channels. For payment methods such as DuitNow and FPX, only the bank account information required to process withdrawals is collected — and this information is stored in a format transferred with full encryption. We adhere to strict industry payment security standards.
