• Personalisation and support: to personalise your gaming experience, recommend relevant promotions, and provide customer support in response to your queries.
• Responsible gaming: to monitor gameplay patterns, identify potential problem gambling behaviour, and apply protective measures such as deposit limits or self-exclusion when necessary.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

gold9 does not disclose your personal data to third parties except in the following limited and necessary circumstances:

• Payment processors and financial service providers: including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and international card networks such as Visa and Mastercard, solely to process deposits and withdrawals.
• Identity verification and KYC partners: authorised third-party services used to verify age and identity to ensure compliance with 21+ age restrictions and anti-fraud requirements.
• Legal and regulatory authorities: where required by applicable law, regulation, court order, or governmental request, gold9 may disclose personal data to competent authorities.

In all cases, we require any third party receiving your personal data to respect the security of that data and to treat it in accordance with applicable data protection principles. We do not permit our third-party partners to use your personal data for their own commercial purposes.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

gold9 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our platform. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us recognise returning visitors, remember your preferences, and analyse site usage patterns.

We use essential cookies (required for the platform to function), performance cookies (to understand how the site is used), and functional cookies (to remember your login status and preferences). We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

Upon account closure, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period unless we are required by law or regulation to retain certain records for a longer period (for example, financial transaction records may be retained for up to seven years for audit purposes).
