joiy9 Privacy Policy

1 Introduction & Scope

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how joiy9 ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects personal information obtained from players and visitors who access joiy9.net (the "Platform"). It applies to all services offered through the joiy9 Platform, including online casino games, sports betting, payment processing, promotional communications, and customer support interactions.

By registering an account on joiy9, making a deposit, placing a bet, or simply browsing the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree with any aspect of this Policy, you should discontinue use of the Platform and contact support at [email protected] to request account closure.

This Policy should be read alongside the joiy9 Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which are available on joiy9.net. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and another joiy9 document on the subject of personal data, this Policy takes precedence.

1.1 Who We Are

The Platform is operated in English and is designed to serve adult players (aged 18 and above) across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, Cox's Bazar, and all other regions of Bangladesh. For privacy-related enquiries, contact us at [email protected].

1.2 Scope of This Policy

This Policy covers personal data collected through:

• The joiy9 website at joiy9.net and any associated subdomains.
• Account registration and identity verification processes.
• Deposit and withdrawal transactions via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, Visa, Mastercard, and other accepted payment methods.
• Customer support communications via email and live chat.
• Participation in promotions, tournaments, and loyalty programmes.
• Automatic data collection through cookies, session logs, and analytics tools.

2 Personal Data We Collect

joiy9 collects personal data through two primary means: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically through your use of the Platform. We collect only what is necessary and proportionate to the purposes described in this Policy.

2.1 Data You Provide Directly

When you register, verify your identity, make transactions, or contact support, you may provide the following categories of personal data:

2.2 Data Collected Automatically

When you access joiy9.net, our systems automatically collect certain technical and behavioural data, including:

• Device & Technical Data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, and device identifiers.
• Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent per page, click paths, game sessions (games played, bet amounts, win/loss results), session start and end times (recorded in Bangladesh Standard Time, BST/UTC+6).
• Location Data: Approximate geographic location derived from your IP address. joiy9 does not access GPS-level precise location data.
• Log Data: Server access logs including request timestamps, response codes, and referring URLs, retained for security and fraud-prevention purposes.

3 How We Use Your Data

joiy9 processes personal data only where there is a lawful basis for doing so. The primary lawful bases we rely upon are: the performance of a contract with you (providing the Platform services), compliance with legal obligations (KYC, anti-money laundering), legitimate interests (fraud prevention, platform security), and, where applicable, your consent (marketing communications).

3.1 Primary Uses

• Account Management: Creating and maintaining your joiy9 account, verifying your identity, processing login requests, and enabling account security features.
• Payment Processing: Facilitating deposits and withdrawals via your chosen payment method, including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank transfer. Transaction records are retained as required by applicable financial regulations.
• Game & Betting Services: Recording bet placements, calculating and crediting winnings, resolving disputes related to game outcomes, and maintaining a full transaction history for your account.
• Customer Support: Responding to enquiries, complaints, and responsible gaming requests submitted via email to [email protected] or through the live chat facility on joiy9.net.
• Regulatory Compliance: Fulfilling Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations, conducting anti-money laundering (AML) checks, responding to lawful requests from competent authorities, and maintaining records required by applicable law.
• Responsible Gaming: Monitoring gaming behaviour to identify patterns indicative of problem gambling, enforcing player-set deposit and loss limits, administering self-exclusion requests, and complying with the platform's Responsible Gaming Policy.

3.2 Secondary Uses

• Platform Improvement: Analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve game selection, site performance, and user experience.
• Fraud Prevention & Security: Detecting and preventing fraudulent account activity, unauthorised access, and misuse of the Platform, including use of automated betting software or multi-accounting.
• Marketing Communications: Sending promotional emails, bonus notifications, and personalised offers to players who have opted in to marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time by emailing [email protected] or using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email.
• Personalisation: Tailoring bonus offers, game recommendations, and promotional content to your demonstrated interests and gameplay history, subject to your marketing preferences.

4 Data Sharing & Third Parties

joiy9 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share personal data with third parties only where necessary to deliver the Platform's services, comply with legal obligations, or protect the integrity of the Platform. All third-party service providers engaged by joiy9 are contractually required to process personal data only on joiy9's instructions and to maintain appropriate security standards.

4.1 Categories of Third-Party Recipients

• Payment Processors: bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, Visa, and Mastercard receive the minimum financial data necessary to process your deposit or withdrawal transaction.
• Identity Verification Providers: Third-party KYC service providers may process your identity documents and biometric data (such as liveness-check selfies) to verify your identity on joiy9's behalf. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements.
• Game Content Providers: Casino game studios including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi receive anonymised session identifiers necessary to deliver game content and calculate results. They do not receive your full identity data.
• Analytics Providers: Anonymised, aggregated usage data may be shared with analytics platforms to help joiy9 understand Platform performance. No personally identifiable information is included in these transfers.
• Legal & Regulatory Authorities: joiy9 will disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, or other competent authorities where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or lawful regulatory request.
• Fraud Prevention Networks: Fraud signals (such as flagged IP addresses or device fingerprints) may be shared with industry fraud-prevention services to protect the integrity of the Platform and the broader online gaming community.

4.2 International Data Transfers

Some of joiy9's third-party service providers operate outside Bangladesh. Where personal data is transferred internationally, joiy9 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place — such as contractual data protection clauses — to protect your data to the same standard as described in this Policy. joiy9 does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without appropriate safeguards.

5 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

joiy9 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform, remember your preferences, analyse usage patterns, and deliver relevant promotional content. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website you visit. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time.

5.1 Types of Cookies Used

5.2 Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types of cookies, or delete existing cookies. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to use the joiy9 Platform, including logging in and completing transactions. Instructions for managing cookies are available in the help documentation of your browser.

6 Data Retention & Storage

joiy9 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:

• Account Data (identity, contact, financial): Retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of 5 years following account closure, to comply with anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements.
• Transaction Records: All deposit, withdrawal, and betting transaction records are retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of the transaction.
• KYC Documents: Identity verification documents are retained for a minimum of 5 years following account closure or the completion of the KYC process, whichever is later.
• Customer Support Records: Email and chat transcripts are retained for 3 years from the date of the interaction, to enable joiy9 to respond to follow-up queries and resolve disputes.
• Marketing Consent Records: Records of your marketing opt-in or opt-out choices are retained for the duration of your account and for 2 years following account closure.
• Server Access Logs: Technical access logs are retained for 12 months for security and fraud-investigation purposes and then deleted.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual.

6.1 Data Storage Location

joiy9 stores personal data on secure servers. Where data is stored or processed outside Bangladesh, joiy9 ensures that appropriate contractual safeguards are in place to protect that data. joiy9 does not store payment card numbers in full — card data is tokenised by the payment processor and joiy9 retains only the last four digits and card type for display purposes in your account.

7 Security of Your Information

joiy9 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

7.1 Technical Measures

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data in transit between your device and joiy9's servers is encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols. You can verify this by the padlock icon in your browser's address bar when visiting joiy9.net.
• Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data stored in joiy9's databases — including identity documents and financial data — is encrypted at rest using strong encryption algorithms.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data within joiy9's systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff who do not require access to personal data in the performance of their duties are not granted that access.
• Intrusion Detection: joiy9's systems are monitored around the clock for signs of unauthorised access, unusual traffic patterns, and potential security incidents.
• Vulnerability Management: joiy9 conducts regular security assessments of its Platform and promptly addresses identified vulnerabilities.

7.2 Your Responsibilities

While joiy9 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, the security of your account also depends on you. You are responsible for:

• Keeping your joiy9 password confidential and not sharing it with anyone.
• Using a strong, unique password for your joiy9 account that is not reused across other websites.
• Logging out of your joiy9 account when using a shared or public device.
• Notifying joiy9 immediately at [email protected] if you suspect that your account credentials have been compromised.

8 Your Privacy Rights

As a joiy9 player, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact joiy9 at [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request". joiy9 will respond within 30 days of receiving your request. Identity verification may be required before your request is actioned.

• Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal data joiy9 holds about you, including the categories of data, the purposes for which it is processed, and the third parties with whom it has been shared.
• Right to Rectification: If any personal data held by joiy9 is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. For account data such as your name or address, you may be able to update this directly through your account settings.
• Right to Erasure: Subject to legal and regulatory retention obligations, you may request the deletion of your personal data. joiy9 is required to retain certain data (such as transaction records) for a minimum of 5 years and cannot delete this data during the mandatory retention period.
• Right to Restrict Processing: In certain circumstances, you may request that joiy9 restrict the processing of your personal data — for example, while a dispute regarding accuracy is being resolved.
• Right to Data Portability: You may request a copy of the personal data you have provided to joiy9 in a structured, machine-readable format, where technically feasible and where processing is based on your consent or contract performance.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to joiy9's processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on joiy9's legitimate interests, subject to joiy9's ability to demonstrate compelling grounds that override your interests.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where joiy9 processes your personal data based on your consent (e.g., for marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

8.1 How to Submit a Privacy Request

All privacy rights requests should be submitted in English via email to [email protected]. Please include your registered account username, the email address associated with your account, and a clear description of the right you wish to exercise. joiy9 does not charge a fee for privacy rights requests unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case a reasonable administrative fee may apply.

9 Minors & Age Verification

joiy9 implements age verification checks at the point of registration and as part of its KYC programme to prevent minors from accessing the Platform. Players are required to provide a government-issued photo identification document confirming their date of birth before withdrawals are processed and, in some cases, before certain platform features are accessible.

If joiy9 discovers or reasonably suspects that a player is under the age of 18, the account will be suspended immediately, all pending transactions will be frozen pending investigation, and the personal data associated with the account will be handled in accordance with joiy9's obligations under applicable law. Any winnings accumulated by a minor may be forfeited.

Parents and guardians who believe that a minor may have registered a joiy9 account are encouraged to contact joiy9 immediately at [email protected] so that the account can be investigated and closed promptly.

10 Changes to This Policy

joiy9 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes may be made to reflect updates in applicable law, changes to the services offered on the Platform, or improvements to joiy9's data protection practices.

Where changes are material — for example, changes to the types of data collected, the purposes for which data is used, or the third parties with whom data is shared — joiy9 will notify registered players via their registered email address at least 7 days before the amended Policy takes effect. Non-material changes (such as typographical corrections or clarifications that do not alter the substance of the Policy) may take effect immediately upon publication.

The effective date at the top of this Policy will be updated to reflect the date on which the current version came into force. Your continued use of the joiy9 Platform following the effective date of any amended Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not accept the updated Policy, you should cease using the Platform and contact [email protected] to request account closure.

The most current version of this Privacy Policy is always available at joiy9.net/privacy-policy. joiy9 recommends that you review this Policy whenever you receive a notification of an update and at least once every 12 months.
