2.8 Data Received from Third Parties

3. Third-party sources: From payment gateways, identity verification bureaus, responsible gambling databases, and affiliate networks who refer players to Bk9 Casino.

Every piece of user data collected by Bk9 Casino is processed for a specific, legitimate purpose. We do not process your personal data beyond what is necessary to fulfil these purposes. Our primary data processing objectives are:

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and, where applicable, the GDPR, Bk9 Casino relies on the following legal grounds to process your personal data:

• Contractual necessity: Processing required to perform the services you have contracted with us (e.g., executing a deposit transaction).
• Legal obligation: Processing mandated by law, including AML, KYC, tax reporting, and gaming licence conditions.
• Legitimate interests: Processing required to maintain information security, prevent fraud, and improve our services — provided these interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Consent: Processing carried out solely on the basis of your explicit, freely given, and informed consent (e.g., receiving marketing emails or the processing of sensitive data). You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

6. Cookie Policy

The Bk9 Casino cookie policy governs the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and mobile platform. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help us provide a seamless and personalised gaming experience. Below is a breakdown of the types of cookies we use.

6.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They allow you to navigate the site, log into your account securely, and complete transactions. Without these cookies, core services cannot be delivered. Essential cookies do not require your consent as they are technically indispensable.

6.2 Analytical Cookies

Analytical cookies help us understand how players interact with our platform. We use tools such as aggregated session data to evaluate page performance, identify popular games, and optimise the overall user experience. This data collection is carried out in a pseudonymised or anonymised manner wherever possible, and your consent is sought before these cookies are activated.

6.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember your preferences — such as your chosen language, preferred currency (AUD), and display settings — to provide a more personalised experience on return visits. These cookies are activated only with your consent and do not track browsing activity across third-party websites.

6.4 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver targeted promotional content relevant to your interests. These cookies may be set by Bk9 Casino or by trusted third-party advertising partners. They track your browsing activity across multiple websites to build a profile and serve advertisements that are more relevant to you. Marketing cookies are only activated with your explicit consent, and you may withdraw consent at any time through our cookie policy management tool or your browser settings.

6.5 Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookies preferences at any time by accessing the cookie consent banner displayed on your first visit, or by navigating to the Privacy Settings panel within your account. Most web browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies via their built-in settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may impact the functionality of the Bk9 Casino platform.

7. Sharing Personal Data with Third Parties

Bk9 Casino maintains strict confidentiality regarding your personal information. We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to unrelated third parties. However, in order to deliver our services and comply with our legal obligations, we share personal data with the following categories of recipients:

7.1 Payment Providers

To process deposits and withdrawals, we share necessary financial data with payment processors including PayID operators, Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Neosurf, and cryptocurrency network providers. These providers are contractually bound to protect your personal data under their own data protection frameworks and to use it solely for payment processing purposes.

7.2 Regulatory Authorities

We are required to disclose personal information to government agencies, law enforcement bodies, tax authorities, and gaming regulators where we are legally compelled to do so. Such disclosures are limited to what is strictly necessary and are logged internally for audit purposes.

7.3 Identity Verification and Fraud Prevention Partners

To fulfil KYC and AML obligations, Bk9 Casino shares identification data with third-party verification bureaus. These partners assess the authenticity of documents and cross-check player data against sanctions lists, PEP databases, and fraud registers. They are engaged under strict data processing agreements that prohibit them from using your data for any other purpose.

7.4 Technology and Service Partners

Our game catalogue features content from over 50 providers including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Play'n GO, NetEnt, Microgaming, Yggdrasil, Hacksaw Gaming, Push Gaming, Spribe, Red Tiger, Nolimit City, and Relax Gaming. These providers may receive limited user data (such as a pseudonymous player ID and session token) to deliver games. They are bound by contractual obligations to protect personal data and may not use it for independent marketing purposes.

7.5 Affiliate and Marketing Partners

Where you have arrived at Bk9 Casino via an affiliate partner, we may share limited non-sensitive conversion data (e.g., that a new account was registered) for the purpose of affiliate commission tracking. No sensitive personal information is disclosed in this context.

8. International Data Transfers

As a globally operated platform, Bk9 Casino may transfer your personal data to countries outside Australia, including jurisdictions in the European Economic Area, Curaçao, and other regions where our technology infrastructure and service partners are located. In all cases, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information during international transfers. These safeguards include:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by relevant data protection authorities
• Binding Corporate Rules where applicable
• Adequacy decisions recognising the destination country's level of data protection
• Transfer impact assessments and supplementary technical measures to maintain information security

Wherever personal data is transferred internationally, Bk9 Casino retains responsibility for ensuring those transfers comply with the Australian Privacy Principles.

9. Data Security Measures

Bk9 Casino data security is implemented through a multi-layered technical and organisational framework designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our key security measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your browser or device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols. The padlock icon in your browser confirms this secure connection is active.
• Advanced firewalls: Our server infrastructure is protected by enterprise-grade firewalls and intrusion detection systems that monitor traffic in real time.
• Data encryption at rest: Sensitive personal data stored in our databases is encrypted using strong cryptographic methods to ensure confidentiality even in the event of unauthorised access.
• Access controls: Internal access to personal information is strictly limited to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis, with multi-factor authentication required for administrative access.
• Regular security audits: Our systems undergo regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments conducted by independent cybersecurity firms.
• RNG certification: Our Random Number Generators are certified by independent testing laboratories to ensure fair and unbiased gaming outcomes.

Despite these robust measures, no system connected to the internet can guarantee absolute information security. We encourage all players to use strong, unique passwords for their Bk9 Casino accounts and to enable two-factor authentication where available.

10. Data Retention Periods

Bk9 Casino data storage practices are governed by the principle of data minimisation — we retain personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply:

After the applicable retention period expires, personal data is either securely deleted, destroyed, or anonymised in accordance with our data storage and disposal procedures. Anonymised data may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis.

11. Your Privacy Rights

As an Australian player, you have meaningful privacy rights under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. Where the GDPR also applies, additional rights are afforded to you. Bk9 Casino respects and actively facilitates the exercise of all the following privacy rights:

11.1 Right of Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data that Bk9 Casino holds about you. We will respond to verified access requests within 30 days. In some circumstances, complex or voluminous requests may require an extension of up to 60 days, in which case we will notify you promptly.

11.2 Right to Correction

If any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, you have the right to request correction. We will update your records promptly and notify any third parties who received incorrect data, where practicable.

11.3 Right to Deletion

You may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you have withdrawn your consent (and no other legal basis exists). Please note that certain data must be retained to comply with legal obligations — in such cases, we will explain which data cannot be deleted and why.

11.4 Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request that Bk9 Casino restricts the data processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, if you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing based on legitimate interests while we assess your objection.

11.5 Right to Data Portability

Where processing is based on consent or contractual necessity and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another service provider. Requests for data portability will be fulfilled within 30 days.

11.6 Right to Object

You have the right to object to data processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. If you object to direct marketing, Bk9 Casino will cease using your personal information for that purpose immediately. If you object to processing based on legitimate interests, we will cease unless we can demonstrate compelling grounds that override your interests.

11.7 Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without penalty. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal. To withdraw consent for marketing communications, use the unsubscribe link in any email, adjust your account preferences, or contact [email protected].

11.8 Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of the above privacy rights, please submit a written request to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before processing the request. We do not charge a fee for the first access request in any 12-month period; however, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee for additional or manifestly unfounded requests.

12. Supervisory Authority — OAIC

If you are not satisfied with the way Bk9 Casino has handled your personal data or responded to a complaint, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). The OAIC is Australia's national regulator for privacy and freedom of information matters.

13. Responsible Gambling and Privacy

Bk9 Casino takes responsible gambling seriously. Our responsible gambling tools — which include deposit limits, bet limits, loss limits, session time limits, cooling-off periods (24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days), and self-exclusion options (6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent) — involve the collection and processing of personal data related to your gambling behaviour. This data processing is conducted solely to protect your wellbeing and is treated with strict confidentiality. Where you request self-exclusion, your details may be shared with responsible gambling databases to prevent you from registering at affiliated platforms — this is done in your best interest and in compliance with our licensing obligations.

14. Children's Privacy

Bk9 Casino strictly prohibits the registration and use of its platform by persons under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. Our KYC verification process, which is mandatory before the first withdrawal, is specifically designed to confirm that all players meet the legal age requirement. If we discover that a minor has submitted personal information to our platform, we will immediately delete that data and close the account. If you believe a minor has registered on our platform, please contact us at [email protected] without delay.

15. Updates to This Privacy Policy

The Bk9 Casino privacy policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or our services. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players via email or a prominent notice on our website at least 14 days before the changes take effect. The date at the top of this document indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the Bk9 Casino platform after the effective date of any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised privacy policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
