hao188 retains Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:
- Active account data: Retained for the duration of your membership and for a period of five years following account closure, to satisfy anti-money laundering record-keeping obligations and to respond to any post-closure disputes.
- Transaction and financial records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of the transaction, in line with standard financial compliance requirements.

Data Security
hao188 implements a layered approach to data security, combining technical controls, organisational policies, and ongoing staff training. Key measures include:

While hao188 takes all reasonable steps to protect your Personal Data, no online system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your own login credentials and for logging out of the Platform when using shared or public devices.

Minors
hao188 requires all Members to declare that they are at least 21 years of age at the time of registration and to provide identity documentation confirming their date of birth as part of the KYC process.

Where such transfers occur, hao188 ensures that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your Personal Data, including contractual data processing agreements that incorporate internationally recognised standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections. hao188 does not transfer Personal Data to jurisdictions that do not provide a comparable level of data protection without first implementing appropriate transfer mechanisms.
