12. Children's Privacy

The ar9999 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 and above. ar9999 does not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 21. Age verification is conducted as part of the account registration and KYC process for all Players.

If ar9999 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21, the account will be immediately closed, all data associated with the account will be deleted to the extent not required for regulatory reporting purposes, and the matter will be handled in accordance with our responsible gaming policy.

If you believe that a minor has registered an account on the Platform, please contact us immediately via the support email address in the footer of this website.

13. Security Measures

ar9999 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers;
• Encryption of sensitive data fields at rest within our databases;
• Role-based access controls ensuring that ar9999 staff can only access personal data necessary for their specific function;
• Multi-factor authentication for all administrative access to player data systems;
• Regular penetration testing and security audits conducted by independent third-party security specialists;
• Incident response procedures enabling rapid detection, containment, and notification in the event of a data breach.

Notwithstanding the above, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While ar9999 takes all reasonable precautions, we cannot warrant absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials and for notifying ar9999 promptly if you suspect any unauthorised access.

14. Responsible Gaming & Data

ar9999 uses personal data — including gameplay history, session duration, deposit frequency, and wagering patterns — to monitor for indicators of problem gambling behaviour. This processing is carried out in accordance with our responsible gaming obligations under our international gaming licence and is a legitimate and necessary use of Player data.

Where our responsible gaming systems identify a Player who may be exhibiting harmful gambling patterns, ar9999 may take proactive steps including initiating contact with the Player, applying temporary account restrictions, or activating cooling-off measures. Data used for responsible gaming monitoring is not shared with third parties for commercial purposes.

Self-exclusion records are maintained for the duration of the exclusion period and for a minimum of five years thereafter, to prevent re-registration during an active exclusion period and for regulatory reporting purposes.

15. Amendments to This Policy

ar9999 reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, regulatory requirements, or gaming licence conditions. Material changes will be communicated to registered Players by email or through a prominent notice on the Platform prior to the changes taking effect.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised each time the Policy is updated. Your continued use of the Platform following the publication of a revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how ar9999 protects your personal data.
