You may manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair Platform functionality. Consent-based cookies (functional, analytical, and marketing) may be withdrawn at any time through your browser or by contacting JOS55 support.
Data Retention
JOS55 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any longer retention periods required by law or regulation. The following retention principles apply:
- Active Account Data: Personal data associated with an active JOS55 account is retained for the duration of the account relationship.
- Closed Account Data: Following account closure, personal data is retained for a minimum of five (5) years to comply with anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements and to facilitate the resolution of any outstanding disputes or regulatory inquiries.
- KYC Documents: Identity and verification documents are retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of submission, in accordance with applicable AML legislation.
- Transaction Records: Financial transaction history is retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction.
- Support Communications: Live chat and email correspondence is retained for a minimum of two (2) years from the date of the interaction.
- Marketing Consent Records: Records of marketing consent and opt-out requests are retained indefinitely to demonstrate compliance with consent obligations.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents reconstruction of the original data.
Data Security
JOS55 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. Our security infrastructure includes:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and the JOS55 Platform;
- Encrypted storage of sensitive data fields including payment identifiers and identity document data;
- Role-based access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis;
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments of the Platform infrastructure;
- Multi-factor authentication requirements for administrative access to internal systems;
- Incident response procedures for detecting, reporting, and managing personal data breaches.
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights, JOS55 will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by applicable law, without undue delay.
Your Data Rights
As a data subject and JOS55 member, you hold the following rights in relation to your personal data. These rights may be subject to certain conditions and limitations under applicable law:
Right of Access
You may request a copy of the personal data JOS55 holds about you, along with information about how it is processed. We will respond within 21 days as required under the PDPA.
Right to Correction
You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data JOS55 holds about you. Minor account details (email, phone) can be updated directly in your account settings.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on consent (e.g., marketing emails), you may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.
Right to Restrict Processing
In certain circumstances, you may request that JOS55 restrict the processing of your personal data — for example, while a dispute regarding accuracy is being resolved.
Right to Deletion
You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to JOS55's legal retention obligations (minimum 5 years for AML compliance).
Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe JOS55 has handled your personal data in breach of applicable law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority in your jurisdiction.
To exercise any of the above rights, please contact the JOS55 Data Protection team via live chat or at the email address set out in Section 15. We will acknowledge all rights requests within 5 business days and provide a substantive response within the timeframes required by applicable law.
Children & Minors
JOS55 is strictly a 21+ platform. The Platform is not directed at, and does not knowingly collect personal data from, any individual under the age of 21 years.
As part of our account registration process and KYC verification, JOS55 takes active steps to verify the age of all registered members. Any account found to belong to an individual under the age of 21 will be immediately suspended, all associated balances will be placed on hold, and the matter will be escalated to our compliance team.
If you become aware that a minor has registered an account on JOS55 or has provided personal data to our Platform, please notify us immediately via live chat or at the contact details listed in Section 15.
Third-Party Links
The JOS55 Platform does not contain links to external third-party websites in its standard navigation or content. However, payment gateway redirect flows — such as those used for DuitNow, FPX, or bank transfer authentication — may temporarily redirect you to an external banking or payment provider interface.
JOS55 is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party websites or services you access in connection with payment processing. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any payment provider interface you interact with during a deposit or withdrawal transaction.
Amendments to This Policy
JOS55 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or Platform operations. When material changes are made, we will:
- Update the "Last Updated" date displayed at the top of this page;
- Notify registered account holders via their registered email address with reasonable advance notice of material changes;
- Display a prominent notification on the Platform where appropriate.
Your continued use of the JOS55 Platform following the effective date of an amended Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated terms. If you do not agree to any changes, you must discontinue use of the Platform and may request account closure by contacting our support team.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how JOS55 protects your personal data.
