1. Introduction

9 apk is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all registered members and visitors on our Philippines-based mobile entertainment platform. This Privacy Policy sets out the types of information we collect, the purposes for which we use it, and the rights you have as a data subject under applicable Philippine law. By registering an account or continuing to use the 9 apk platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically, as we may update it from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. If you have any questions about how your data is handled, please refer to our FAQ page for guidance.

2. Information We Collect

When you register and use the 9 apk platform, we collect certain personal information that is necessary to provide you with a safe and personalised experience. The categories of information we may collect include:

  • Identity information: your full name, date of birth, and government-issued identification details required for age and identity verification.
  • Contact information: your email address and mobile number, used for account communications and support.
  • Financial information: payment method details and transaction records in Philippine pesos (₱), collected solely for processing deposits and withdrawals.
  • Device and usage data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, and in-app activity logs collected automatically when you access the platform.
  • Communications data: records of your interactions with our support team, including messages and enquiry history.

We collect only the information that is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is required for identity verification and responsible gaming compliance.

3. How We Use Your Information

The personal information we collect is used exclusively for legitimate platform operations and to deliver a high-quality experience to Filipino members. Specifically, we use your data to verify your identity and confirm your eligibility to use the platform in accordance with Philippine age and residency requirements. Your contact details are used to send account notifications, transaction confirmations, and responses to support requests. Financial data is processed solely to facilitate deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos and to comply with anti-money laundering obligations. Device and usage data helps us monitor platform performance, detect fraudulent activity, and improve the overall mobile experience. We do not use your personal information for unsolicited marketing without your prior consent, and we do not sell your data to third parties under any circumstances.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

9 apk does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors, identity verification services, and technical infrastructure providers, all of whom are bound by strict confidentiality obligations. In certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your information to regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies in the Philippines if compelled by law or court order. Any third-party service providers we engage are carefully vetted and are only permitted to use your data for the specific purpose for which it was shared. We will notify you of any material changes to our data-sharing practices to the extent permitted by law.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter as required by applicable Philippine law and our internal compliance obligations. Transaction records and identity verification documents may be retained for a minimum period as mandated by anti-money laundering regulations. When your data is no longer required, we take appropriate steps to securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to you. You may request the deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting our support team, subject to any legal retention requirements that may apply.

6. Your Rights

As a member of the 9 apk platform and a data subject under Philippine law, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections if any details are inaccurate or incomplete.
