2 Data Controller

For the purposes of applicable data protection legislation, ef888 acts as the data controller in respect of personal data collected through the ef888 platform. This means ef888 determines the purposes for which and the manner in which your personal data is processed.

Where ef888 engages third-party service providers (such as payment processors, KYC verification services, or customer support platforms) to process data on its behalf, those providers act as data processors under contractual arrangements that require them to handle your data only as instructed by ef888 and in accordance with applicable data protection standards.
