MelBet Privacy Policy in South Korea

We are very concerned about user privacy at MelBet Korea. Our management of personal information is always based on the South Korea Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). The details you provide are kept confidential, will not be given to a third party except by your choice, and are not used after they are discarded. We use confirmed security software to check and secure the internal access procedures.

Information We Collect and Why

Once you register on MelBet online, we require your name, email/phone and date of birth to offer you our services properly. To protect your account, we have to verify your identity.

Additionally, logs are reviewed to spot any attempts at fraud and to reassure the platform will pass checks by auditors. We do not rely on advertising trackers, and we focus on protecting everyone’s privacy.

We use the login details to maintain security and find out if something may be happening that’s unusual. For this reason, people tend not to use accounts for unlawful purposes. We depend on this information only to spot fraud.

Legal Grounds for Data Processing

We process personal information strictly when lawful and necessary. Valid grounds include:

• Consent – User agrees upon account creation
• Contract performance – Needed to provide MelBet app functionality
• Legal obligation – Tax reporting, compliance, fraud checks
• Legitimate interest – To ensure operational security
• Vital interest – In rare cases, to protect users or the platform

Every legal ground is documented and used only for the required purpose.

How We Use Your Data

The data you enter is applied to your account, helps with safe payment, and ensures you get properly regulated betting through the MelBet app.

Using these tools allows you to identify possible abuse and improve your safety. Unless user policies are broken, these tools will have no effect on you.

Your data also helps us deliver:

• Accurate bet history logs
• Personalized notifications and interface suggestions
• Faster support by recognizing verified users immediately

Additionally, we use anonymized aggregated data for:

• Usage pattern analysis to improve platform design

Sharing Your Data with Third Parties

Data sharing occurs only under binding agreements with licensed partners. This includes banking gateways, verification tools, and government agencies if lawfully requested.

We ensure:

• Clear contractual obligations
• Encryption in all exchanges
• No sub-processing without user consent

Third-party platforms have no access to user behavior, financial data, or personal identifiers beyond the specific purpose they are approved for.

In addition, any service provider accessing our infrastructure is required to:

1. Pass the annual cybersecurity certification
2. Sign a non-disclosure agreement
3. Agree to unannounced audit rights
4. Report any breach within 24 hours under our data breach policy

International Transfers of Information

Some services are maintained using global infrastructure. If your data is processed abroad, we follow strict protocols under PIPA Articles 17–22.

All transfers include:

• Encryption during transit
• Legal contracts matching Korean privacy standards
• Risk reviews by our internal compliance team

In addition:

• We limit data flow to countries that are officially recognized by Korean authorities as having adequate safeguards.
• All international vendors must pass our internal security audit checklist.
