Privacy Policy for ac999

1 Introduction

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how ac999 ("we", "our", "us"), operating the website at https://ac999.cam (the "Platform"), collects, uses, stores, protects and discloses personal data relating to users ("you", "User") of the Platform.

ac999 is an English-language online betting and live casino information platform serving Pakistani users. We publish educational guides, bonus explainers, responsible gambling resources and payment-method overviews. We do not operate a gambling service, process financial transactions or hold any gambling operator licence. The informational nature of this Platform means we collect significantly less personal data than a transactional gambling Operator would.

By accessing or using the ac999 Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and that your data will be handled as described herein. If you do not agree with this Policy, please discontinue your use of the Platform. This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions.

2 Definitions

• "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, including but not limited to IP addresses, device identifiers, browser fingerprints and any contact information voluntarily submitted.
• "Processing" means any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, storage, use, disclosure and deletion.
• "Data Controller" means ac999, the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing your Personal Data.
• "Third-Party Processor" means any service provider engaged by ac999 to process Personal Data on our behalf, including hosting providers, analytics services and security tools.
• "Cookies" means small data files stored on your browser or device when you visit the Platform, used to support functionality and analytics.
• "User" means any individual accessing the Platform for any purpose.
• "Anonymised Data" means data from which all identifying elements have been removed such that no individual can be identified or re-identified.

3 Scope and Application

This Policy applies to all Personal Data collected by ac999 through:

• Your use of the Platform at https://ac999.cam and any sub-pages therein;

This Policy does not apply to third-party platforms, Operators, payment providers or any external websites that may be referenced in our educational content. When you navigate away from ac999 to any third-party service, that service's own privacy policy governs the handling of your data. ac999 accepts no responsibility for the data practices of third parties.

5 Lawful Basis for Processing

ac999 processes Personal Data on the following lawful bases:

• Legitimate Interests: Processing technical and analytics data to operate the Platform securely, improve user experience and prevent abuse. We have assessed that these legitimate interests are not overridden by the data protection rights of Users, given the minimal and non-sensitive nature of the data collected.

• To analyse aggregate user behaviour and content performance, enabling us to produce more relevant and useful guides for Pakistani users;
• To detect and prevent security threats, fraudulent activity and abuse of the Platform;
• To respond to enquiries submitted voluntarily via our contact email;
• To comply with applicable legal obligations;
• To enforce our Terms & Conditions.

ac999 does not process Personal Data for direct marketing, profiling, automated decision-making or any purpose not listed above without your express prior consent.

8 Data Sharing and Disclosure

ac999 does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise transfer your Personal Data to third parties for commercial purposes. Data may be shared in the following limited circumstances only:

8.1 Third-Party Service Providers

We engage the following categories of Third-Party Processors to support platform operations, each bound by data processing agreements requiring equivalent data protection standards:

• Web Hosting and Infrastructure: Server and content delivery infrastructure providers who process technical access data as part of hosting the Platform;
• Analytics Services: Anonymised or pseudonymised usage analytics to help us understand how users interact with the Platform;
• Security and Fraud Prevention Tools: Services that monitor for malicious traffic, DDoS attacks and abuse patterns.

8.2 Legal Disclosure

We may disclose Personal Data if required to do so by applicable law, court order, regulatory directive or other binding legal instrument. We will, where lawfully permitted, notify affected Users of any such disclosure requirement.

8.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale or restructuring involving ac999, Personal Data held by ac999 may be transferred as part of that transaction. Users will be notified of any such change and the applicable privacy protections will continue to apply.

8.4 No Third-Party Marketing Sharing

ac999 does not share your Personal Data with third-party Operators, advertisers or gambling platforms for marketing or promotional purposes. References to payment providers such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah in our educational content are contextual only and do not involve any data-sharing arrangement with those entities.

9 Data Retention

ac999 retains Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any longer retention period required by applicable legal obligations. The following indicative retention periods apply:

• Server Log Data (IP addresses, access times): Retained for up to 90 days for security and operational purposes, then deleted or anonymised;
• Analytics Data (anonymised/pseudonymised): Retained for up to 24 months to support meaningful trend analysis, then deleted or further anonymised;
• Voluntarily Submitted Contact Data: Retained for as long as necessary to resolve the relevant enquiry, plus a reasonable buffer period for follow-up, then securely deleted;
• Cookie Data: Retained for the duration specified in each Cookie's settings, which varies by Cookie type as detailed in Section 7.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, Personal Data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to any individual.

10 Data Security

ac999 implements appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect Personal Data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include:

• Encrypted data transmission using HTTPS/TLS protocols across the Platform;
• Access controls restricting Personal Data access to authorised personnel only;
• Regular security assessments and platform vulnerability reviews;
• Contractual data protection obligations imposed on all Third-Party Processors.

While ac999 takes data security seriously and applies industry-standard measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and accept no liability for breaches caused by factors outside our reasonable control. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected Users as required by applicable law.
