This Privacy Policy describes how SAO88 ("We", "Platform") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information ("User") when you use the website sao88.vu and related applications. By using SAO88 services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Section 1 Introduction & Scope of Application

SAO88 recognizes that personal information is an important private asset of each user.

  • Internal access control: Staff only have access to data within the scope of their assigned role

SAO88 Data Privacy Inquiries

The most frequently asked questions from SAO88 users regarding privacy and data security.

View All FAQs

No. Your password is stored as a one-way hash using the bcrypt algorithm — meaning even SAO88's technical staff cannot recover your original password. This is also why, when you forget your password, the system asks you to set a new one rather than sending back the old one.

No. SAO88 does not sell or share your personal information with any external advertising or marketing companies. We only share the minimum data necessary with payment processing partners to complete your transactions, and those partners are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

SAO88 sends automatic email notifications when a login is detected from an unfamiliar device or location. You can also view recent login history in your account's Security Settings. If you notice any suspicious activity, change your password immediately and enable 2FA, then contact support for further review.

Yes. You have the right to request an export of all personal data SAO88 holds about you. Contact the support team via live chat or email at [email protected] with the subject line "Personal Data Export Request". We will prepare the file and send it to your email within 30 days.

Most personal data will be deleted or anonymized within 30 days after you close your account. However, certain financial data (transaction history) must be retained as required by law for a minimum of 5 years. This data will be isolated and not used for any purpose other than regulatory compliance.
