Poker9 takes the privacy of every player seriously. This document transparently explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our platform.
Six core pillars that form the foundation of poker9's data protection commitment to all Malaysian players.
Welcome to the poker9 Privacy Policy. This document is a binding agreement between you as a poker9 platform user and us as the platform operator. We understand that privacy is more than just a word — it is the trust you place in us every time you register, log in, or make a transaction on the poker9 platform.
This Privacy Policy explains in detail the types of personal information we collect from you, how it is used, who it is shared with, and the security measures we take to keep your data protected at all times. We also outline your rights regarding your personal data and how you can exercise those rights.
By using any part of the poker9 platform — whether via the website, mobile app, or any other channel we provide — you are considered to have read, understood, and agreed to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, we encourage you to contact our support team before continuing to use the platform.
This Privacy Policy applies to all poker9 users in Malaysia and is to be read alongside Terms and Conditions poker9. Both documents should be read together as a complete platform governance framework.
Poker9 collects your personal information for clear and limited purposes. The following are the categories of information we collect, along with specific examples for each category:
poker9 never stores full credit/debit card numbers. All payment transactions are processed through payment gateways that comply with PCI-DSS security standards.
We collect your personal information through several different channels, depending on how you interact with the poker9 platform:
Information you provide directly during account registration, KYC identity verification, profile updates, deposit or withdrawal requests, and when contacting our customer support team.
When you browse the poker9 platform, our systems automatically record technical information such as your IP address, device type, web browser, pages visited, visit timestamps, and navigation patterns. This collection occurs through cookies, tracking pixels, and standard server logging technology.
In certain situations, we may receive information about you from third-party service providers we work with, such as identity verification providers during the KYC process or payment gateway providers during financial transaction processing. All such third parties are bound by strict data confidentiality agreements.
Poker9 uses the personal information collected solely for legitimate purposes that are necessary to operate the online betting platform services. The following are the primary purposes for which data is used:
| Purpose of Use | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Player account registration and management | Contract fulfilment |
| Identity verification and KYC process | Legal obligation |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals | Contract fulfilment |
| Customer support provision | Contract fulfilment |
| Fraud detection and suspicious activity monitoring | Legitimate interest / legal obligation |
| Sending promotional notifications and offers | Your consent |
| Usage analytics and platform improvement | Legitimate interest |
| Anti-money laundering (AML) compliance | Legal obligation |
Poker9 does not disclose your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. However, there are limited situations where we need to share your data with certain parties to enable the platform to operate smoothly and securely:
We work with third-party service providers that help us run day-to-day operations, including payment gateway providers, identity verification companies, cloud infrastructure providers, and customer support platforms. All these providers are bound by strict data protection agreements and are only permitted to use your data for the specific purposes we define.
Poker9 will disclose your personal information if required to do so by Malaysian law, court order, or directive from a competent enforcement authority. We will also disclose information necessary for investigations related to fraud, money laundering, or other financial crimes.
If poker9 undergoes a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, player data may be transferred to the relevant new entity. You will be notified in advance before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
poker9 does not share your data with advertising networks, data brokers, social media analytics companies, or any commercial third parties for off-platform advertising purposes.
The poker9 platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, keep your login session secure, and help us understand how players interact with our platform.
You can manage cookie settings through your web browser preferences. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the poker9 platform and the security of your login session.
Poker9 consistently invests in robust security infrastructure to ensure your personal data is always protected against unauthorised access, accidental disclosure, alteration, or destruction. The key security measures we employ include:
While poker9 takes all reasonable precautions, no digital security system can be guaranteed 100% safe from cyber threats. We encourage you to also practise good digital hygiene, such as using a strong and unique password for your poker9 account.
Poker9 retains your personal data for as long as your account is active or as long as necessary to provide services to you. When you close your account, we will retain your transaction records and KYC data for seven (7) years after the account closure date, in accordance with Malaysian legal requirements on financial record retention and anti-money laundering.
Technical data such as server logs and session records are typically retained for 12 months and then automatically deleted or anonymised. Aggregated analytics data that cannot be used to identify individuals may be retained for longer periods for platform improvement purposes.
Once the designated retention period has expired, your data will be securely deleted using industry-standard data erasure methods, ensuring it cannot be recovered.
As a poker9 platform user, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. We respect and facilitate the exercise of each of these rights:
To exercise any of the rights above, please contact the poker9 customer support team via live chat, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We will process your request within 14 business days.
In the course of its operations, poker9 may need to transfer your personal data to servers or service providers operating outside Malaysia. When such transfers occur, we ensure that equivalent or higher protection is applied to your data, either through binding data protection agreements or by confirming that the destination jurisdiction has data protection laws recognised as meeting Malaysian standards.
Poker9 will not transfer your personal data to any jurisdiction that the Malaysian Government or relevant regulatory body considers to lack an adequate level of data protection, except with your explicit consent or in circumstances permitted by law.
Poker9 strictly prohibits use of the platform by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect or store any personal information from minors. Should we discover that collected data belongs to an individual under 18, we will immediately take the following steps:
If you become aware that a minor has registered an account on poker9, please notify us immediately through our customer support team.
Poker9 reserves the right to review and amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in business operations, legal requirements, or industry best practices in data protection. Any material amendment — meaning one that significantly changes how we process or use your personal data — will be communicated to you at least 14 days before the amendment takes effect, via email notification to your registered address or a prominent notice within the platform.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document reflects the date of the most recent revision. Your continued use of the poker9 platform after any amendment takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.
