1 About This Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how 9sapp — the online gaming and sports betting platform available at 9sapp.best — collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of players registered in the Philippines and any other jurisdiction where the platform is accessible.
9sapp is committed to handling your data responsibly. This policy is written in plain language so that every player — regardless of technical background — can understand exactly what happens to their information from the moment they sign up.
By registering a 9sapp account or continuing to use the platform after an update to this policy, you acknowledge that you have read and understood its contents. If you have questions at any point, the 9sapp support team is available around the clock.
9sapp is built for players across the Philippines, with privacy protection at its core.
Why Privacy Matters to 9sapp
Filipino players trust 9sapp with sensitive details — government IDs, payment account numbers, home addresses. That trust is not taken lightly. Every internal process involving personal data has been designed to limit who can access it, for how long, and for what specific purpose.
9sapp operates under the Republic Act 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of the Philippines, and its implementing rules. Compliance is not just a checkbox — it shapes how the platform is built and how support teams are trained.
2 Data We Collect
9sapp collects personal information only to the extent necessary for operating the platform, verifying accounts, processing transactions, and meeting regulatory obligations. The categories below cover what may be collected depending on how you interact with the platform.
| Category | Examples | When Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Registration Data | Full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number | During account sign-up on 9sapp |
| Identity Verification | Government-issued ID (e.g. UMID, passport, driver's licence), selfie photo | When completing Know Your Customer verification |
| Financial Data | GCash number, Maya account, bank account name and number, transaction history | When making deposits or requesting withdrawals |

| Device & Technical Data | IP address, browser type, operating system, device model | Automatically when accessing 9sapp |
| Communications | Support chat messages, email correspondence, feedback submissions | When you contact 9sapp support |
9sapp does not collect or store full card numbers. Payment card transactions are processed by certified payment gateways that operate under their own applicable security standards.

9sapp does not use your personal data for automated profiling that produces legal effects or significantly affects you, without providing an opportunity to contest the outcome.
4 Legal Bases for Processing
Under the Data Privacy Act of the Philippines, 9sapp relies on the following legal grounds for processing your personal data:
- Contractual necessity: Processing required to provide the services you signed up for — account creation, game access, payment processing.
- Legitimate interest: Fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Legal obligation: Compliance with identity verification, anti-money-laundering, and gaming-licence requirements applicable to 9sapp.
- Consent: For optional communications such as promotional offers and marketing messages. You can withdraw this consent at any time by contacting 9sapp support.
Where 9sapp relies on your consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any prior processing. Withdrawal of consent for optional communications does not affect your account or access to the platform.
5 Sharing Your Information
9sapp does not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for their own commercial use. Data may be disclosed to the following categories of recipient only where necessary and under appropriate safeguards:
5.1 Payment Processors
To complete deposits and withdrawals through GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, InstaPay, PESONet, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, Visa, and Mastercard, 9sapp shares relevant transaction data with the respective payment provider. These providers handle data under their own applicable security standards.
5.2 Identity Verification Services
When completing Know Your Customer requirements, your submitted identification documents may be processed by a certified third-party verification provider working on behalf of 9sapp. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and may not use your data for any other purpose.
5.3 Regulatory Authorities
9sapp may be required to disclose personal data to the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), the National Privacy Commission, financial intelligence units, law enforcement agencies, or other government bodies where required by law or a valid legal order.
5.4 Technology Service Providers
Third-party providers who assist in hosting, platform maintenance, data analytics, and customer support tools may have limited, role-based access to personal data strictly for delivering those services. They are prohibited from using that data for any other purpose.
All third parties who receive personal data from 9sapp are contractually required to maintain appropriate security standards and to process that data only for the purpose for which it was shared.
6 Cookies and Tracking Technologies
9sapp uses cookies and similar technologies to improve platform performance and deliver a consistent experience across sessions. Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device.
Types of Cookies Used
- Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. They keep you logged in, maintain your session state, and allow the gaming interface to work correctly. These cannot be disabled without breaking platform functionality.
- Analytics cookies: Used to understand how players interact with 9sapp — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where navigation might be improved. Data is aggregated and anonymised.
- Security cookies: Help identify and prevent fraudulent activity, protect against cross-site request forgery, and flag unusual login behaviour.
- Preference cookies: Remember settings like language selection and display preferences so you do not have to reconfigure them on every visit.
You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to use the 9sapp platform. A cookie consent notice is displayed on first access, and preferences can be updated at any time.
7 Data Retention
9sapp keeps your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by regulatory and legal obligations. The following general retention principles apply:
- Account and transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of account closure or last transaction, in line with anti-money-laundering requirements.
- Identity verification documents: Retained for the duration of the account and for the legally required period after closure.
- Communication records: Support interactions and complaints are retained for up to three years to allow for follow-up or dispute resolution.
- Usage and device data: Aggregated analytics data may be retained for internal reporting purposes in anonymised form with no retention limit. Individual session data is stored for a shorter operational period.
When personal data is no longer required, 9sapp deletes or anonymises it securely. Players can request information about retention periods applicable to their specific data by contacting support.
8 Security Measures
9sapp applies technical and organisational controls to protect every player's data.
9sapp applies a combination of technical and organisational security controls to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Key measures include:
- Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the 9sapp platform.
- Encryption of sensitive data fields — including identity documents and payment references — at rest in the database.
- Role-based access controls that limit staff access to personal data based on job function and necessity.
- Regular internal security reviews and vulnerability assessments of platform infrastructure.
- Multi-factor authentication options for account login to reduce the risk of unauthorised access.
- Audit logging of administrative access to sensitive personal data records.
No system is completely impenetrable. 9sapp encourages all players to use a unique, strong password and never share account credentials with anyone. If you suspect your account has been accessed without your permission, contact support immediately.

10 Children's Privacy
9sapp is strictly for adults aged 18 years and above. The platform does not knowingly collect personal data from any person below the legal gaming age.

Parents or guardians who believe a minor may have accessed 9sapp should contact support immediately. 9sapp will investigate and take appropriate action without delay. The platform also encourages the use of parental control tools available through device operating systems and mobile carriers as an additional safeguard.
