1 Introduction

Plea8 ("we", "Platform") is committed to protecting the privacy of every user who uses our services. This Privacy Policy explains in detail how we handle your personal information — from how it is collected, used and stored, to how you can control it.

We understand that trust is the foundation of the relationship between a platform and its users. Without that trust, there is no reason for you to choose plea8. That is why we take privacy protection seriously — not merely to comply with the law, but because it is the right thing to do for our users in Malaysia.

This policy applies to all users who access plea8 via the website, Android and iOS mobile apps, and any other plea8 service channels. If you use our services on behalf of another person, you are responsible for ensuring that person understands this Privacy Policy.

  • 256-bit SSL Encryption for all data transmissions between your browser and plea8's servers.
  • Data Encryption at Rest — all sensitive data is stored in encrypted form in the database.
