Personal Data Protection Notice
This Privacy Policy explains how NextRare Asia Sdn. Bhd.

This notice is issued under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 of Malaysia, as amended (the "PDPA"). We are the data controller of the personal data processed through the Services.
This Privacy Policy is available in English and Bahasa Malaysia. If there is any inconsistency between the two versions, the English version prevails.

Sensitive personal data. If we use facial images to verify your identity (for example, matching a selfie to your ID document), this may involve biometric data, which is treated as sensitive personal data under the PDPA. We will only process it with your explicit consent and only for verification and fraud prevention.
2. How We Collect It
We collect personal data:
- directly from you, when you register, complete verification, buy Diamonds, open Packs, request deliveries, contact us, or take part in promotions;
- automatically, when you use the Services, through cookies, SDKs and similar technologies (see Section 11); and
- from third parties, such as social sign-in providers, payment providers, identity verification and fraud prevention services, shipping carriers, users who refer you, and analytics or advertising partners.

4. Is Providing Your Data Obligatory?
Information marked as required on our forms, and identity verification information when we request it, is obligatory. If you do not provide it, we may be unable to open or maintain your Account, process payments or refunds, or deliver Cards to you.
All other information, including marketing preferences, is voluntary.
5. Who We Disclose It To
We may disclose your personal data to:
- service providers who act on our behalf, including cloud hosting, payment processors and banks, identity verification and fraud prevention providers, shipping carriers and logistics partners, customer support tools, email and messaging providers, and analytics and advertising partners;
- our related companies, for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy;

- other users and the public, limited to your display name, avatar and notable pulls shown in public feeds or leaderboards unless you opt out in your settings; and
- anyone else, with your consent.
We require our service providers to protect your personal data and to use it only for the purposes we specify. We do not sell your personal data.
6. Transfers Outside Malaysia
Some of our service providers store or process data outside Malaysia, for example in Singapore or the United States. We only transfer personal data outside Malaysia where the PDPA permits it, for example where the destination has a law substantially similar to the PDPA or ensures an adequate level of protection, or where the transfer is necessary to perform our contract with you or you have consented. We take reasonable steps to make sure your data remains protected when transferred.
7. How Long We Keep It
We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes in this Privacy Policy, or for longer where the law requires or permits it. For example, we keep transaction records needed for tax and accounting purposes for seven (7) years. When personal data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymise it so that it no longer identifies you.
8. How We Protect It
We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal data, including encryption in transit, access controls and restricting access to staff and providers who need it. No system is completely secure, so please use a strong, unique password and keep your login details confidential.
If a personal data breach occurs, we will notify the Personal Data Protection Commissioner and, where the breach is likely to cause you significant harm, notify you, as required by the PDPA.
9. Your Rights
Subject to the PDPA, you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- correct personal data that is inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or out of date;
- withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data (this may mean we can no longer provide some or all of the Services to you);
- limit processing, including asking us to stop using your data for direct marketing;
- object to processing that is likely to cause you substantial damage or distress; and
- data portability, meaning you can ask us to transmit your personal data to another data controller, where technically feasible and permitted by law.
To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer using the details in Section 15. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request, and may charge a fee for access requests where the law allows. We will respond within the timeframes set by the PDPA, generally within 21 days.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your request or complaint, you may contact the Personal Data Protection Commissioner (Jabatan Perlindungan Data Peribadi).
10. Marketing
We will only send you marketing messages if you have agreed to receive them. You can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any message, changing your Account settings, or contacting us. We will still send you service messages about your Account and transactions.
