Information Collection and Usage
Nine collects various types of information to provide and improve our gaming services. We gather personal details you provide during registration, including your name, email address, date of birth, and payment information. Technical data is automatically collected through cookies and similar technologies, encompassing your IP address, device type, browser information, gameplay patterns, and session duration. Transaction records are maintained for all deposits, withdrawals, and wagering activity. We use this information to operate the game, process transactions, verify your identity, comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud and ensure safe gaming, improve our services, and communicate important updates. Your information is processed lawfully under applicable Australian privacy legislation and international data protection standards.
Data Security and Storage
Nine employs industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We implement multiple layers of protection to ensure your data remains secure throughout its lifecycle.
| Security Measure | Description |
|---|---|
| Encryption | All data transmitted between your device and our servers uses SSL/TLS encryption |

Your data is retained for as long as your account remains active or as required to fulfil legal and regulatory obligations. When information is no longer necessary, it is securely deleted or anonymised according to our retention schedule.
Third-Party Sharing and Disclosure
Nine does not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your data with specific external entities to facilitate our services and meet legal requirements. Payment processors receive necessary financial information to complete transactions. Gaming regulators and licensing authorities may access your data during compliance audits and investigations. Technical service providers who maintain our platform infrastructure may process your information under strict confidentiality agreements. Law enforcement agencies receive information when legally required through valid court orders or statutory obligations. Marketing partners may receive anonymised aggregate data that does not identify individual users. All third parties we engage are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it solely for specified purposes. We conduct due diligence to ensure these entities maintain appropriate security standards consistent with this policy.

You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, and we will update your records promptly upon verification. You have the right to request deletion of your data, subject to our legal retention obligations and active account requirements. You may object to certain data processing activities or request restriction of how we use your information. Where technically feasible, you can request a portable copy of your data in a structured, commonly used format. You may withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time through your account settings or unsubscribe links. To exercise these rights, contact our privacy officer through the designated channels provided on our website. We will respond to verified requests within thirty days. Certain requests may require identity verification to protect against unauthorised access.
