6.2 Organizational Security Measures

• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted to authorized employees and contractors on a need-to-know basis. All personnel with access to personal data are trained in data protection and bound by confidentiality agreements.

• Do not use the same password for lotus1 that you use on other websites
• Log out of your account when using shared or public computers
• Never share your account credentials via email, chat, or phone (lotus1 will never ask for your password)
• Contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account

Despite our best efforts, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

lotus1 retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

7.1 Active Account Data

While your account remains active, we retain all personal information associated with your account, including registration details, transaction history, betting records, and communications with customer support. This allows us to provide ongoing services and comply with our legal obligations.

7.2 Closed Account Data

If you close your account voluntarily or if we close your account due to inactivity or Terms violation, we will retain your personal data for a period of 7 years from the date of account closure. This retention period is necessary to:

• Comply with financial record-keeping requirements under Indonesian law
• Resolve any disputes or claims that may arise after account closure
• Prevent fraud and detect attempts to create multiple accounts
• Meet anti-money-laundering and tax reporting obligations

7.3 Marketing Data

If you have opted in to receive marketing communications, we will retain your marketing preferences and communication history until you opt out or until your account is closed, whichever comes first.

7.4 Anonymized Data

After the retention period expires, we may retain anonymized or aggregated data indefinitely for statistical analysis, research, and platform improvement purposes. This anonymized data cannot be used to identify you personally.

8. Your Privacy Rights

You have certain rights regarding your personal data. lotus1 respects these rights and provides mechanisms for you to exercise them.

8.1 Right to Access

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. You can view much of this information directly in your account dashboard (account details, transaction history, betting records).

8.3 Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")

You may request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances. However, please note that we are legally required to retain certain data (transaction records, KYC documents, betting history) for 7 years to comply with financial regulations and anti-money-laundering laws. We can delete marketing-related data and close your account, but core transactional and identity data must be retained for the legally mandated period.

8.4 Right to Restrict Processing

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to lotus1, please contact our customer support team immediately so we can take appropriate action.
