1. Information We Collect
When you register or use the 4chan platform, we collect several categories of information to enable us to deliver our services properly and securely:
Account & Identity Information
This includes your full name, email address, phone number, date of birth and identification details required for the identity verification (KYC) process. This information is necessary to give you access to all platform features and to confirm that your account belongs to a legitimate individual.
Payment Information
We retain transaction records in Malaysian Ringgit (RM), including deposit amounts, withdrawals and payment methods used (such as TNG eWallet, FPX or bank transfer). Full card numbers or bank account details are not stored on our servers — they are processed directly by certified payment providers.
Device & Browser Data
Our platform automatically logs your IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, screen resolution, and other technical information. This data is used to diagnose technical issues, ensure platform compatibility, and detect suspicious activity.
Usage Data
We record usage patterns such as games played, bets placed, session duration, login frequency, and user preferences. This data helps us improve the platform experience and tailor recommendations to each user.
2. How We Use Your Information
All information collected by 4chan is used solely for the following purposes:
- Account management: Allows you to log in, manage your balance and carry out transactions securely
- Identity verification: Comply with KYC and anti-money laundering (AML) requirements

3. Cookies & Tracking
The 4chan platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience and ensure the platform functions correctly. We use several types of cookies:
Essential Cookies: Required for core platform functions such as login session verification and security. These cookies cannot be disabled as they are critical to platform operations.
Performance Cookies: Helps us understand how users interact with the platform, including frequently visited pages and time spent. This data is used in aggregate form and cannot be used to identify individual users.
Preference Cookies: Saves user preferences such as interface language, display settings and stored login information. These cookies improve your experience from one session to the next.
You can manage cookie settings through your browser preferences. However, disabling essential cookies may affect platform functionality.
4. Data Storage, Security & Sharing
Storage & Security
All 4chan user data is stored on servers protected with industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption. We enforce strict access controls — only authorised personnel may access user data, and solely for legitimate operational purposes.
Financial transaction records are retained for the period required under Malaysian law, typically seven (7) years for financial records. Active account data is kept for as long as the account remains active. Once an account is closed, data will be retained for the minimum period prescribed by legislation before being securely deleted.
Third-Party Sharing
4chan does not sell or rent users' personal data to any third party for marketing purposes. User information is only shared in the following circumstances:
- With certified payment providers to process transactions in MYR
- With technical service providers that support platform operations, subject to strict confidentiality agreements
- With Malaysian authorities when required by law or court order
- To prevent fraud or illegal activity that could affect other users
