Please read this document carefully alongside our Terms & Conditions.
How We Protect Your Personal Data

All personal data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols — the same standard used by major global financial institutions.
No Data Selling
Cocol88 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for commercial marketing purposes — ever. Your data belongs to you.
Your Rights Matter
You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data at any time. Submit a request via our support team and we will respond within 30 days.
Minimum Data Collection
We collect only the personal data that is strictly necessary to operate your account, process transactions, and comply with applicable regulatory obligations.
Defined Retention Periods
Your data is retained only for as long as required to fulfil the purposes described in this policy or to meet legal obligations. Inactive account data is reviewed and cleared periodically.
Marketing Opt-Out
You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting our support team. Opting out of marketing does not affect essential account-related communications.
