7.3 Right to Erasure
You may request deletion of your personal data. hot888 will process erasure requests where there is no legitimate legal basis to retain the data.

To opt out of marketing communications, contact [email protected] or use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email you receive from us.

If you believe hot888 has processed your personal data unlawfully or in violation of this Policy, you have the right to lodge a formal complaint.
