4Data Retention & Security Measures

Api88 takes the protection of your data extremely seriously. We have implemented multiple layers of technical and procedural security to keep your information safe at all times:

  • Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and api88's servers is protected with 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption. This means that even if someone were to intercept your connection, they would be unable to read its contents.
  • Storage Encryption: Sensitive data stored in our databases — including financial information and identity documents — is encrypted using the latest industry-standard security algorithms.
  • Strict Access Controls: Only authorised api88 staff with a legitimate operational need may access members' personal data. All access is protected by two-factor authentication (2FA) and recorded in an audit log.
  • Secure Servers: Your data is stored in internationally certified data centres equipped with 24/7 physical security controls, uninterrupted power supply systems, and tested disaster recovery procedures.
  • Regular Security Audits: api88 conducts internal security audits every 72 hours and independent penetration tests every quarter to identify and address any vulnerabilities.
  • Retention Period: Active account data is retained for as long as your account remains active. Following account closure, financial and transaction data is kept for 7 years in accordance with Malaysian legal requirements. All other data is deleted within 90 days.

Please Note: While api88 takes all reasonable precautions, no security system is 100% impenetrable. You also play an important role in keeping your account secure — safeguard your password and always use a trusted internet connection.

Api88 does not sell or rent your personal information to any party. However, we may share limited information in the following circumstances:
