w999 Privacy Policy — How We Protect Your Data in Pakistan

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected and processed by w999 ("the Platform", "we", "us") in connection with your use of the w999 website and all related services. It applies to all registered players as well as to visitors who browse the platform without creating an account.

When we say "personal data", we mean any information that can be used to identify you directly or indirectly — for example, your name, mobile number, CNIC number, device identifiers, or browsing behaviour on the platform. This document tells you everything you need to know about how w999 handles that information.

By creating a w999 account or by continuing to use the platform after this Policy is published or updated, you acknowledge that you have read and understood its contents. This Policy works alongside our Terms and Conditions and our Responsible Gaming Policy.

w999 collects personal data in three main ways: information you provide directly, information generated automatically when you use the platform, and — in limited cases — information obtained from trusted third parties for verification purposes.

Information You Provide Directly:

• Full name, date of birth, and CNIC or passport number (for account registration and identity verification)
• Mobile phone number and email address
• Residential address in Pakistan
• Payment method details — mobile wallet identifiers (Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay), bank account details for IBFT, or card numbers (stored in tokenised form only)
• Any supporting documents submitted for identity or address verification (such as a scanned CNIC or utility bill)
• Communications you send us through live chat, email, or support tickets

Information Collected Automatically:

• Device information: device type, operating system version, browser type, and unique device identifiers
• IP address and approximate geographic location (city/region level)
• Session data: pages visited, games played, bets placed, duration of sessions, and click patterns on the platform
• Technical logs: error reports, loading times, and connectivity information used for platform maintenance

Information from Third Parties:

• Identity verification services that confirm the validity of your CNIC against government databases
• Payment processors that confirm transaction status without sharing full payment credentials with w999
• Fraud prevention services that share risk scores or flag patterns associated with fraudulent activity

w999 uses your personal data for specific, legitimate purposes that are directly related to providing you with a safe and functional gaming platform. We do not use your data for any purpose beyond what is described here without first obtaining your explicit consent.

• Account creation and management: Your name, contact details, and identity documents are used to create and maintain your w999 account, verify your age and identity, and ensure that one person holds only one account.
• Processing deposits and withdrawals: Payment data is used to process your PKR transactions through Easypaisa, JazzCash, IBFT, and other approved methods. We pass the minimum required data to payment processors to complete transactions.
• Delivering the gaming experience: Your gameplay history and session data allow w999 to display your bet history, calculate VIP loyalty points, apply cashback, and ensure game results are correctly recorded to your account.
• Customer support: When you contact w999 support, we use your account information and communication history to resolve your issue accurately and efficiently.
• Fraud prevention and security: Device data, IP addresses, and transaction patterns are analysed to detect and prevent fraudulent account activity, multi-accounting, and unauthorised access.
• Responsible gaming compliance: Gameplay data is monitored to identify patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour, allowing our responsible gaming team to intervene where appropriate in line with our Responsible Gaming Policy.
• Platform improvement: Aggregated, anonymised usage data helps us understand how players interact with w999 so we can improve the interface, game selection, and overall experience.
• Promotional communications: Where you have opted in, your contact details may be used to send you information about w999 bonuses, VIP Club updates, and special offers. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time through your account settings or by contacting support.

w999 processes your personal data on the following legal grounds. Where more than one basis applies to a specific processing activity, the most relevant one is identified below:

• Contractual necessity: The majority of w999's data processing is necessary to fulfil our obligations under the contract formed when you create an account — processing payments, maintaining your account, recording game results, and responding to support queries.
• Legal obligation: Certain data is processed because we are required to do so — particularly identity verification data collected for anti-fraud and anti-money laundering compliance.
• Legitimate interests: w999 processes device and session data on the basis of legitimate interests in maintaining platform security, preventing fraud, and improving the platform. We have assessed that these interests do not override your rights.
• Consent: Where you have given explicit consent — such as opting in to marketing communications — we process your data on that basis. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

w999 will never sell your personal data to any third party. We do not operate a data brokerage model. Your information is shared only in the specific, limited circumstances described below:

• Identity verification providers: When you submit identity documents, they are shared with our KYC verification partner to confirm authenticity. This partner operates under strict confidentiality obligations and does not retain your documents beyond the verification process.
• Payment processors: Your payment method identifiers are shared with the relevant payment processor (such as Easypaisa or your bank's IBFT service) to execute your transaction. w999 does not store full card numbers or mobile wallet PINs.
• Fraud prevention services: Device fingerprints and IP data may be shared with specialist fraud detection services that help w999 identify suspicious activity. These services operate under data processing agreements and do not use your data for any other purpose.
• Legal authorities: w999 may be required by law to disclose personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts in response to a valid legal request. We will notify you of any such disclosure where permitted by law.
• Technology infrastructure providers: Our hosting and cloud infrastructure partners may process data as part of operating our technical environment. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements.

w999 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the platform function correctly and to improve your experience. A cookie is a small data file stored on your device that allows the website to remember information between visits or sessions.

w999 uses the following categories of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in during your visit and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery. These cannot be disabled.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, preferred payment method, and last visited game category. These improve your experience but are not strictly necessary.
• Analytics cookies: Collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players use the w999 platform — which pages are most visited, where players drop off, and how long sessions last. This data is used internally to improve the platform only.
• Security cookies: Used in combination with our fraud detection systems to identify unusual device behaviour patterns across sessions.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the w999 platform, including your ability to log in and play. Disabling functional and analytics cookies will not prevent you from using the platform.

Data security is not an afterthought at w999 — it is a core operational requirement. We have implemented multiple layers of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Our security measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the w999 servers is encrypted using current-standard SSL/TLS protocols. This applies to login credentials, payment data, and all other personal information.
• Tokenisation of payment data: Full payment credentials (card numbers, mobile wallet PINs) are never stored on w999 servers. Payment data is tokenised by our payment processors and only the token is retained.
• Access controls: Access to personal data within w999's systems is restricted to staff members who require it to perform their job functions. All staff access is logged and monitored.
• Regular security audits: The w999 platform undergoes periodic security assessments to identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
• Two-factor authentication: Players are encouraged to enable two-factor authentication on their w999 account as an additional layer of protection against unauthorised login.

Despite these measures, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal data, w999 will notify affected players promptly and take immediate remedial action.

w999 retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply to different categories of data:

• Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five years following account closure, in line with anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements.
• Transaction records: Deposit and withdrawal records, including the associated payment method identifiers, are retained for a minimum of five years following each transaction.
• Gameplay and betting history: Retained for the life of your account and for two years following account closure.
• Support communications: Chat logs and email correspondence are retained for three years from the date of the interaction.
• Session and device logs: Technical logs are retained for 12 months and then deleted or anonymised.

When retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or anonymised. Anonymised data — from which you cannot be identified — may be retained indefinitely for statistical and platform improvement purposes.

As a w999 player, you have meaningful rights over your personal data. These are not just formalities — we take them seriously and have processes in place to respond to all data rights requests within a reasonable timeframe.

To exercise any of these rights, contact the w999 support team at support@w999-jit.com with your request. We will acknowledge receipt within 48 hours and fulfil the request within 30 days, unless legal constraints require additional time, in which case we will explain the reason for the delay.

w999 is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18, and we actively work to prevent minors from accessing the platform through age verification checks at the point of registration.

If we become aware that a w999 account has been registered by or on behalf of a person under 18 years of age, we will immediately suspend that account, delete all associated personal data to the extent permitted by law, and void any transactions or balances in the account.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has created a w999 account using your or their personal information, contact our support team immediately at support@w999-jit.com. We treat these cases as urgent and will act within 24 hours of receiving notification.

w999 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, platform features, or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players through the platform, by email, or through account dashboard notifications.

Minor clarifications — where the substantive meaning of the policy does not change — will be updated without formal notification, but the "Last Updated" date at the top of the page will always reflect the most recent revision.

We encourage all players to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the w999 platform after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with any changes, you may close your account and request deletion of your data at any time.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests related to this Privacy Policy or to how w999 handles your personal data, please get in touch with our support team. We take all privacy-related enquiries seriously and will respond promptly.
