🔒 GK9's Privacy Commitment to Malaysian Players

Six core principles that shape how GK9 handles your data

256-bit SSL Encryption

All communications between your device and GK9's servers are protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same security standard used by Malaysian banking institutions. Your data is never transmitted in a form that can be read by any third party while in transit.

Data Not Sold

GK9 does not sell, rent or trade players' personal data to any third party for marketing purposes. Your information belongs to you — we use it solely to operate your account and process your transactions.

Secure Data Storage

All player data is stored on servers protected by multiple layers of security, including firewalls, role-based access controls and 24-hour monitoring. Access to player data is strictly limited to staff who require it for operational duties.

Payment Details Not Stored

GK9 does not directly store your eWallet account numbers, bank card details, or banking information in our systems. All transactions via Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, DuitNow, and FPX are processed by third-party payment gateways that comply with PCI DSS standards.

Access Rights & Rectification

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time. If any information is inaccurate, you may request a correction and GK9 will update it within 5 business days from the date the request is received.

Marketing Communications Control

You may opt out of receiving promotional emails, SMS notifications, or other marketing communications from GK9 at any time via your account settings or by contacting our support team. Your preference will take effect within 48 hours.

Important Note: This Privacy Policy outlines GK9's practices regarding players' personal data. By registering for and using the GK9 platform, you agree to the terms set out in this document.

5. Sharing Data with Third Parties

GK9 does not sell your personal data to any party. However, in the course of operating the platform, we share certain data with the following categories of third parties, for limited purposes and under strictly controlled conditions:

  • Legal authorities: GK9 will only disclose personal data to government authorities or law enforcement when required by applicable law or a valid court order, and only to the extent necessary to satisfy that request.

GK9 Guarantee: Every third party that receives GK9 player data is bound by strict confidentiality and data protection agreements. GK9 conducts regular reviews of third-party providers to ensure they maintain security standards consistent with our own.

11. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some of the third-party service providers used by GK9 may store or process data on servers located outside Malaysia — particularly international game providers and cloud computing infrastructure. In all such cross-border data transfers, GK9 ensures:

  • Transfers occur only to countries or organisations that offer adequate data protection, or through internationally recognised safeguard mechanisms.
  • Appropriate data transfer agreements have been signed with all recipients of data outside Malaysia, requiring them to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that applied by GK9.
  • All cross-border data transfers are limited to the minimum data necessary for the specific legitimate purpose only.

Your identity data and sensitive financial information are processed and stored in an environment subject to the highest security protections, regardless of the physical location of the servers involved.
