As a GK9 player, you hold the following rights with respect to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact GK9's support team using the contact details in Section 14:
You may request a copy of all personal data GK9 holds about you. We will provide this in a structured, readable format within 21 business days of a verified request.
If your personal data held by GK9 is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. Contact support with documentary evidence of the correct information.
You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose collected and no legal retention obligation applies. Note: AML regulations require us to retain certain records for 5 years.
Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., marketing communications), you may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
In certain circumstances, you may request that GK9 restricts the processing of your personal data while a dispute or accuracy query is being resolved.
Where technically feasible, you may request that GK9 provides your personal data in a machine-readable format suitable for transfer to another data controller.
GK9 strictly prohibits use of its platform by individuals under the age of 21. The GK9 platform is not directed at, nor intended for, children or minors. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21 years of age.
All GK9 registration processes include an age declaration requirement, and our KYC verification procedures are designed to identify and prevent underage access. If GK9 discovers that personal data has been collected from an individual who is under 21, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has accessed the GK9 platform or provided personal data without your consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
GK9 reserves the right to update, revise, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or the services we offer. The date of the most recent revision is always displayed at the top of this page under "Last updated".

For minor or administrative amendments (such as corrections to typographical errors, clarifications that do not change the substance of the Policy, or updates to contact details), GK9 may update this page without individual notification. We recommend that players review this Policy periodically to stay informed.
Continued use of the GK9 platform following publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with any update to this Policy, you should cease using the platform and contact our support team to discuss account closure options.
