Minors & Age Policy
The Dewagg Platform is strictly intended for persons aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Our KYC verification process is designed to identify and prevent account registrations by underage individuals.
If Dewagg becomes aware, or has reason to believe, that an account has been registered by a person under the age of 21, we will immediately suspend that account, conduct a review, and permanently close the account if the age violation is confirmed. Any funds associated with such an account will be handled in accordance with our Terms and Conditions and applicable legal requirements.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has registered an account on the Dewagg Platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Third-Party Links & Services
The Dewagg Platform may contain references to or integrations with third-party services such as payment processors, customer support platforms, and game delivery networks. This Privacy Policy applies only to data collected and processed by Dewagg directly. It does not apply to data collected by third-party services accessed through or in connection with the Platform.
Where you interact with a third-party payment provider (such as Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, or a Malaysian banking partner), that provider's own privacy policy governs the data they collect in connection with your payment transaction. Dewagg is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party service providers and encourages you to review their policies independently.
Amendments to This Policy
Dewagg reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes — including changes to the categories of data collected, the purposes of processing, or your rights — will be communicated to registered Users via the email address on their account and through a prominent notice on the Platform prior to the effective date of the change.
Non-material clarifications and typographical corrections may be made without prior notice. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Platform following notification of material changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy. The current version of this Policy supersedes all previous versions.
