are999 Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to are999 (the "Platform"), accessible at are999.onl and through the are999 mobile app. It explains how are999 collects, uses, stores and protects the personal information of players registered on the platform, with a specific focus on players based in Pakistan.

By creating an account and using are999, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. Your use of the platform constitutes your consent to the data practices described here. If you do not agree with how are999 handles personal data, please do not create or continue using an account.

are999 takes the privacy of Pakistani players seriously. The platform is designed to collect the minimum data needed to operate effectively, process PKR payments and maintain account security. We do not collect data for its own sake, and we do not share it with third parties for marketing purposes.

The following categories of personal data may be collected by are999 during registration, verification and ongoing platform use:

Not all categories apply to all players at all times. Financial data, for example, is only collected in connection with deposit and withdrawal activity. Identity verification data is collected when are999 requests it, which typically occurs in connection with withdrawal processing or account review.

are999 collects personal data through the following means:

• Direct input during registration — when you create an account and provide your name, contact details and other required information.
• Payment transactions — when you deposit or withdraw PKR using JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast or bank transfer, transaction details are recorded.
• Identity verification — when are999 requests verification documents such as CNIC or proof of payment account ownership.
• Platform activity — your interactions with the platform, including games played, bets placed and session length, are automatically logged.
• Device and technical data — collected automatically when you access the platform through the website or the are999 mobile app.
• Support communications — any messages, chat transcripts or emails you send to the are999 support team.

are999 uses the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

• Creating and managing your player account on the platform.
• Processing PKR deposits and withdrawals through JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and bank transfer.
• Verifying your identity to meet standard account security requirements, particularly before processing withdrawals.
• Delivering customer support when you contact the are999 team.
• Detecting and preventing fraud, cheating, money laundering and other prohibited conduct as described in the Terms and Conditions.
• Monitoring platform performance, investigating technical issues and improving the user experience based on how players actually use are999.
• Communicating with you about your account, transactions and platform updates — by mobile notification, email or in-app message depending on your contact preferences.
• Meeting any standard record-keeping obligations applicable to financial transaction processing.

are999 does not use personal data for automated decision-making that has significant effects on players without human review. Account suspension decisions, for example, involve review by a member of the are999 team — they are not made by automated systems alone.

Because are999 processes real PKR deposits and withdrawals, financial data receives a higher level of handling care than general account data. The following applies specifically to payment-related information:

• are999 records deposit and withdrawal transaction references, amounts, timestamps and the payment channel used (JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast or bank transfer).
• The payment account numbers you use — for example, your JazzCash mobile number or Easypaisa account — are stored in association with your are999 account to process future transactions and verify identity consistency.
• are999 does not store full bank card numbers directly. Where card payment is processed, it is handled through the relevant payment gateway which operates its own data security standards.
• Transaction records are retained for as long as necessary to meet standard financial record-keeping requirements and to handle any disputes that arise.

are999 applies anti-money-laundering checks as a standard part of financial transaction processing. For large or unusual transaction patterns, we may request additional documentation confirming the source of funds. This is a platform-level risk management measure, not a government-mandated process.

are999 does not sell personal data to third parties. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment processors — JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and banking partners receive the transaction information necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. These parties operate under their own privacy and data handling policies.
• Platform service providers — technical service providers who help operate the platform (for example, cloud hosting or customer support tools) may have access to certain data as part of their services. These providers are engaged under data handling agreements and may not use your data for their own purposes.
• Fraud and security partners — where fraud or security investigations require sharing data with relevant parties, limited information may be shared under controlled conditions.
• Legal requirements — if are999 receives a valid legal demand for data, we will comply with the applicable process. We will not voluntarily disclose data beyond what is required.

are999 does not share player data with advertisers, affiliate networks or marketing platforms for the purpose of targeting players with external advertising. Promotional communications from are999 itself are sent directly by the platform and do not involve sharing your contact details with outside parties.

are999 retains personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, taking into account the following:

• Account data is retained for the duration your account is active on are999.
• Transaction and financial records are retained for a minimum period consistent with standard financial record-keeping practices, typically several years after the transaction date.
• Support communications are retained for a reasonable period to allow follow-up on open issues and to maintain a record of how accounts have been handled.
• Technical and usage data may be retained in aggregated or anonymised form indefinitely for platform improvement purposes — in this form, it no longer identifies individual players.

When you request account closure and deletion, are999 will delete your active account data. Certain transaction records may be retained beyond account closure for standard record-keeping purposes, as outlined above. If you have a specific query about data retained after account closure, contact the support team.

are999 takes data security seriously and applies the following measures to protect personal information:

• Encrypted data transmission — data sent between your device and the are999 platform is encrypted in transit using standard HTTPS protocols.
• Access controls — access to personal data within are999's internal systems is restricted based on role. Only team members who need access to specific data to perform their function have that access.
• Account authentication — player accounts are protected by password authentication. Passwords are stored in hashed form and are not visible to are999 staff.
• Monitoring — account activity is monitored for unusual patterns that may indicate unauthorised access or fraud.

If are999 becomes aware of a data security incident that affects your personal data in a material way, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected players in a timely manner through available contact channels.

are999 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the website and in the mobile app. These serve the following functions:

• Essential cookies — required for the platform to function. These keep you logged in during your session and maintain your session state as you navigate between sections.
• Preference cookies — remember settings and preferences so you do not need to reset them every session.
• Analytics cookies — collect information about how players use the platform, which pages and games are most visited and where users encounter difficulties. This data is used in aggregate to improve the platform. It is not used to identify individual players for external targeting.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to use certain parts of the platform, including maintaining your login session. Analytics cookies can be disabled without affecting core platform functionality.

Players registered on are999 have the following rights regarding their personal data:

• Right to access — you can request a copy of the personal data are999 holds about you.
• Right to correction — if any data we hold about you is inaccurate, you can request that it be corrected. Some corrections — for example, changing the name on your account — will require identity verification.
• Right to deletion — you can request deletion of your account and associated personal data. Certain financial transaction records may be retained beyond deletion for standard record-keeping purposes.
• Right to object to communications — you can opt out of promotional communications from are999 at any time by contacting support or following the unsubscribe option in any email we send.

To exercise any of these rights, contact the are999 support team via the platform. We will respond to data requests within a reasonable timeframe. Identity verification may be required before personal data is disclosed or modified, to ensure the request is being made by the account holder.

are999 is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. The platform does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, do not register on or attempt to use are999.

If are999 discovers that a registered account was created by a person under 18, the account will be immediately suspended, any balance will be returned to the depositing payment account and all associated personal data will be deleted from our systems.

Parental controls at the device level are an additional layer of protection. If children have access to your device, consider enabling device-level content restrictions to prevent access to online gaming platforms including are999.

are999 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When updates are made, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. For material changes — changes that significantly affect how your personal data is used or shared — are999 will make reasonable efforts to notify registered players through available contact channels.

Continuing to use are999 after an updated Privacy Policy is published constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with any material change, you have the right to request account closure before the change takes effect.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or about how are999 handles your personal data, contact the support team through the platform. The team is available around the clock and will direct your query to the appropriate person.
