hikaru Casino & Sportsbook Data Care
This page describes what we collect when you use hikaru and how we keep that data protected. We at hikaru take account security and privacy seriously — your personal information, payment details, and betting history are stored securely and used only for account management, legal compliance, and fraud prevention.
Our Privacy Policy outlines which data we collect, how long we retain it, who has access to it, and your rights under applicable law. When you register on hikaru, complete identity verification, or request a withdrawal, you provide information that we hold according to this policy. We do not sell your data to third parties. We share information only with payment processors, compliance teams, and regulated service partners necessary to operate hikaru.
This page applies to all users of hikaru across our live-dealer tables, sportsbook, and slot games. If you have questions about how we handle your data, contact our support team via in-app chat or email.
What Data We Collect on hikaru
Account Registration and Identity Verification
When you register on hikaru, we collect your email address, a password you create, and basic profile information (name, date of birth, residential address). We use this information to create and authenticate your account and to contact you about account activity or security issues.
Before you can withdraw funds or access live-dealer tables, we require identity verification. We collect a scan or photo of your government-issued ID (KTP, passport, or equivalent) and proof of address (utility bill, official mail, or bank statement). We store these documents securely and use them to verify your identity against sanctions lists and to comply with anti-money-laundering regulations. We retain KYC documents for as long as your account is active, plus a standard retention period after closure for regulatory compliance.
Payment and Transaction Data
We collect information about every deposit and withdrawal you make on hikaru. This includes the payment method (DANA, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet), the amount, the date, and the transaction status. We retain transaction records indefinitely to support dispute resolution, tax compliance, and fraud investigation.
We do not store your full payment card numbers or e-wallet credentials. Payment processing is handled by third-party payment processors (licensed by Bank Indonesia and local payment authorities). These processors may store tokenized versions of your payment method to enable faster future transactions. We do not have access to your raw payment data; our systems receive only transaction confirmation or decline notifications.
Betting Activity and Game History
We record all your bets on hikaru Sportsbook — the event, market type, odds, bet amount, settlement outcome, and timestamp. For live-dealer tables (blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Dragon Tiger, Sic Bo), we log your table activity, hands played, results, and balance changes. We use this data to detect fraud, resolve disputes, and comply with regulatory audits. Your betting history is visible to you in your account; our support team can access it to investigate disputes.
Technical and Behavioral Data
We collect technical information about how you access hikaru — your IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, and approximate geographic location (inferred from IP). We log login times, session duration, and which pages or games you visit. This data helps us detect unauthorized access, debug technical issues, and understand platform usage patterns. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (described below) to remember your preferences and maintain your session.
Communication Data
When you contact our support team via in-app chat, email, or other channels, we retain records of your communication, including the issue description, our responses, and any attachments you provide. We use this data to resolve your issue, train our support staff, and improve our service. Support conversations may be reviewed by our management team for quality assurance.
