At william hill, your privacy is not merely a legal obligation — it is a core part of the trust we have built with players over more than 90 years. This Privacy Policy clearly and honestly explains what we collect, why we need it, how we protect it, and the rights you hold as a player.
By using the william hill platform, you agree to the processing of your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, our support team is available at all times.
Our approach to privacy is not reactive — it is proactive, comprehensive and built into every layer of the platform from the ground up.
All personal and financial transaction data is protected with 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by Malaysia's largest banking institutions.
William hill has never and will never sell, rent, or trade players' personal data to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes.
You have the right to access, correct, transfer or request the deletion of your data. These rights can be exercised at any time through customer support.

William hill collects your personal data through several channels — directly when you register and interact with the platform, automatically through your use of our services, and in certain cases, from trusted third-party sources for identity verification purposes.
We do not collect sensitive data such as medical information, religious beliefs or political views unless you voluntarily provide it in a specific and relevant context.
Every piece of data we collect has a clear and legitimate purpose. william hill does not collect data for undisclosed purposes or purposes unrelated to the provision of our services.

William hill processes your personal data only where a valid legal basis exists. Depending on the type of data and the purpose of processing, the applicable bases are as follows:
William hill does not sell your personal data. In certain situations, data may be shared with selected third parties, but all such sharing is done on a need-to-know basis, with strict data protection controls, and for legitimate purposes only.
All third parties that receive your data are required to sign data processing agreements obligating them to protect your data to a standard equal to or exceeding william hill's own standards.
William hill does not retain your personal data longer than is necessary for the stated purposes or as required by law. Retention periods vary according to data type and regulatory requirements.
Once the retention period expires, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised. In cases where immediate deletion is not technically feasible, the data will be isolated and protected until it can be deleted.
William hill invests seriously in data security infrastructure. This goes beyond meeting minimum requirements — we hold ourselves to a higher standard than what is legally mandated, because we understand that player trust is an invaluable asset.
The william hill platform has passed penetration testing conducted by independent security firms. These tests are carried out at least once a year to ensure no new vulnerabilities exist in the system.
William hill uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly, enhance the user experience, and understand how the platform is used. Each cookie category serves a distinct purpose.

The william hill platform is strictly for individuals aged 18 and above. We do not accept registrations from minors, and we do not knowingly collect any personal data from children or individuals under the age of 18.
Should we become aware that we have collected personal data from a minor without valid parental or guardian verification, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the account in question. We apply strict age verification procedures during the KYC process to prevent this from occurring.
If you believe someone under the age of 18 has used the william hill platform, please contact our customer support immediately. We will respond promptly to address the issue.
In certain circumstances, your personal data may be transferred and processed outside Malaysia — for example, when we use international cloud service providers or technical partners operating across multiple countries.
All cross-border data transfers are carried out with appropriate safeguards in place, including standard data processing agreements, approved transfer mechanisms, or equivalent data protection guarantees. william hill ensures that the same level of data protection applies regardless of where your data is processed.
