At Hobi4D, your privacy is more than a legal obligation – it is a responsibility we take seriously every day. This document clearly and transparently explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information as a member of our platform.
Data protection is about more than technology — it's about the culture of trust that Hobi4D has built with our Malaysian player community.
All data transmitted between your device and Hobi4D's servers is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption — the same standard used by banking institutions such as Maybank and CIMB to secure online financial transactions.
Hobi4D does not sell, rent, or disclose your personal information to third-party advertisers for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Your data belongs to you – it is not a business asset of ours.
As a Hobi4D member, you have the right to access, correct, download, and request deletion of your personal data at any time. Such requests will be processed within 72 hours through our support team.
Member personal data is stored on servers equipped with multi-layered protection – firewalls, intrusion detection, regular backups, and strict access controls. Only authorised personnel with an operational need may access your data.
Hobi4D only collects data that is strictly necessary to manage your account, process payments in MYR, and ensure legal compliance. We do not collect data beyond what is required for these purposes.
You can opt out of promotional emails or marketing notifications at any time by updating your communication preferences in your account settings or by contacting the Hobi4D support team. Your preference will be respected immediately.

All such providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use your data for purposes we specify.
Hobi4D may be required to disclose certain information to relevant authorities such as the Royal Malaysia Police, the Attorney General's Chambers, Bank Negara Malaysia, or any regulatory body with lawful authority to request such information.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of Hobi4D's business assets, user data may be transferred to the new entity. In such cases, you will be notified in advance and your rights under this Privacy Policy will continue to be upheld.
We do not share your data with: third-party advertisers, social media platforms, data brokers, or any party that does not have a direct service relationship with Hobi4D.
Hobi4D continually invests in the latest security infrastructure to ensure your personal data remains protected at all times. Our security measures include:
256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all communications between your browser and Hobi4D's servers. Sensitive data is stored in encrypted format.
Multi-layered firewalls and an intrusion detection system (IDS) that monitors all incoming and outgoing traffic in real time.
Access to member personal data is limited to authorised personnel on a strictly need-to-know basis. All access is logged and audited regularly.
Data is automatically backed up to multiple server locations daily to ensure availability and data integrity in the event of an emergency.
While Hobi4D takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no security system can be guaranteed 100% secure. We encourage you to play your part by using a strong password and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA).
