1 Introduction

U9 today ("we", "Platform") cares about the privacy of every member who uses our online gaming platform. This Privacy Policy is designed to give you a clear and honest overview of how your personal information is managed from the moment you register until you stop using our platform.

We understand that your trust is the most valuable asset we safeguard. In today's increasingly complex digital landscape, data breaches and misuse of personal information are real threats. That is why u9 today continually invests in security infrastructure and ensures our entire team follows strict data protection protocols.

This policy applies to all information collected through the official u9 today website, our mobile app, and any other official communication channels we operate. If you use u9 today services on behalf of another person, you are responsible for ensuring their consent has been obtained beforehand.

2 Personal Data We Collect

U9 today only collects data that is strictly necessary to provide a quality, secure, and legally compliant service. We do not practise excessive data collection. The following are the categories of data we collect:

We collect data through three main methods: information you provide directly during registration or platform use, information collected automatically through cookie and tracking technologies, and information obtained from trusted third-party sources such as identity verification providers.

3 How We Use Your Data

Every piece of data we collect has a clear and legitimate purpose. u9 today uses your information for the following purposes:

• Account management: Creating, verifying, and maintaining your account so you can log in securely and access all platform features.
• Transaction processing: Handling all deposits, withdrawals, and other financial transactions accurately, swiftly, and securely.

• Legal compliance: Meeting reporting and compliance obligations to the relevant authorities when required under Malaysian law.

4 Data Sharing & Disclosure

U9 today does not sell, rent, or disclose your personal data to external parties for commercial gain. However, in the normal course of platform operations, we may share information with the following parties under very limited circumstances:

• Payment providers: Required transaction information is shared with local banks, digital wallet operators, and payment processors we use, solely to process your transactions.
• Technology service providers: Technical partners who assist in operating the platform infrastructure, including server hosting and customer support systems, are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
• Relevant authorities: We will disclose required information to legal or regulatory authorities when mandated by Malaysian law, including in fraud or money laundering investigations.
• Identity verification providers: Your identity document details are shared with trusted third-party KYC services for verification purposes only.

All third parties we work with are contractually bound to handle your data to the highest security standards and are prohibited from using that data for any purpose other than what is specified in their agreement with us.

5 Cookies & Tracking Technology

The u9 today platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, secure your login session, and collect analytics data that helps us understand how the platform is used.

The following are the types of cookies we use:

• Essential cookies: Required for core platform functions such as login authentication and session security. Without these cookies, the platform cannot function properly. These cookies cannot be disabled.
• Preference cookies: Saving your preferences such as language and display layout so you do not need to reconfigure them every time you use the platform.
• Analytics cookies: Collecting anonymized usage data to help us understand which parts of the platform are most used and identify areas that need improvement.
• Security cookies: Helping detect fraudulent activity, duplicate accounts, and unauthorized access by analyzing usage patterns in real time.

You can manage or delete cookies through your web browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality and your overall user experience.

6 Data Storage & Security

Your personal data is stored in secure data centers with multi-layered physical and digital protection. u9 today uses cloud infrastructure that meets international security standards, with regular data backups to ensure service continuity.

Key technical security measures we implement:

• Data encryption in transit: All communications between your device and our servers are protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption, rendering data unreadable even if intercepted.
• Data encryption at rest: Sensitive data stored in our databases, including financial information and KYC documents, is encrypted using strong encryption algorithms.
• Strict access control: Only authorised staff with a legitimate business need may access user data, and every access is automatically logged for audit purposes.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA): Access to our internal systems requires two-factor authentication, reducing the risk of compromise even if a password is stolen.
• Regular penetration testing: We conduct regular security testing and audits by independent third parties to identify and address any system vulnerabilities.

Your personal data is retained for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law. Generally, account records are kept for five years after account closure for anti-money laundering compliance purposes.
