Cookies and Tracking Technologies
jo999 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. The following categories of cookies are used on jo999.io:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Essential for the Platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that maintain your jo999 Login state and security tokens that protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). These cannot be disabled without breaking core Platform functionality.
- Performance cookies: Collect anonymised data about how players interact with the Platform — which pages are visited most frequently, how long sessions last, and where errors occur. This data is used exclusively for Platform improvement.
- Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, display options, and responsible gaming tool configurations so you do not need to re-enter them on every visit.
- Analytics cookies: Used by our internal analytics tools to generate aggregate usage reports. These cookies do not identify you personally.
jo999 does not currently deploy third-party advertising or retargeting cookies. If this changes in the future, this Policy will be updated accordingly and players will be notified in advance.
Data Retention
jo999 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following retention periods apply:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration and identity data | Duration of account + 5 years following closure | AML and KYC regulatory requirements |
| Financial transaction records | 7 years from transaction date | Financial record-keeping obligations |
| Betting and gaming history | Duration of account + 3 years following closure | Dispute resolution, responsible gaming monitoring |
| Customer support communications | 3 years from date of communication | Quality assurance, dispute resolution |
| Technical and usage logs | 13 months from collection | Security monitoring, fraud detection |
| Marketing preferences and consent records | Until consent is withdrawn + 3 years | Consent audit trail |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that ensures it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual.
Data Security
jo999 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
- Transport-layer encryption: All data transmitted between your device and jo999.io is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher (SSL encryption). The Platform enforces HTTPS at all times.
- Data encryption at rest: Sensitive data fields including passwords (hashed using bcrypt), financial account numbers (tokenised), and KYC document content are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
- Access controls: Access to personal data within jo999's internal systems is granted on a strict need-to-know basis and is controlled via role-based access management. All internal access is logged and subject to periodic review.
- Two-factor authentication: jo999 supports two-factor authentication (2FA) for player accounts to reduce the risk of unauthorised account access. Players are strongly encouraged to enable 2FA via their account settings.
- Security monitoring: jo999 operates continuous security monitoring across its infrastructure, including intrusion detection systems, automated anomaly alerts, and regular third-party penetration testing.
- Staff training: All jo999 personnel with access to personal data receive regular training on data protection obligations and security best practices.
Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, jo999 will notify affected players without undue delay and will take all reasonable steps to mitigate the impact of the breach.
You can strengthen the security of your own account by using a strong, unique password, enabling 2FA, and never sharing your jo999 Login credentials with any third party.
Your Data Rights
As a data subject, you hold the following rights in relation to your personal data held by jo999. Requests to exercise these rights should be submitted in writing to our Data Protection contact (see Section 15). jo999 will respond to all valid requests within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt.

- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): You have the right to request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent (and no other legal basis applies), or where the data has been unlawfully processed. This right is subject to overriding legal retention obligations — for example, jo999 is required to retain AML and KYC records for a minimum period regardless of erasure requests.
- Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to request that jo999 restrict its processing of your data in certain circumstances, such as while the accuracy of data is contested or while an objection to processing is under consideration.

- Right to object: You have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data that is based on jo999's legitimate interests, including profiling. You also have an absolute right to object to processing for direct marketing purposes at any time.
- Rights related to automated decision-making: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces a significant legal or similarly significant effect on you, and to request human review of such decisions.
Children and Minors
The jo999 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. jo999 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If you believe that a minor has registered an account or provided personal data to jo999, please contact our support team immediately so that we can investigate and take appropriate action, including account closure and data deletion.
jo999 employs age verification procedures at the point of registration and at withdrawal to prevent underage access. Account holders are responsible for ensuring that minors do not gain access to their jo999 account credentials or active sessions on shared devices.
Third-Party Links
The jo999 Platform may contain references to third-party services, payment providers, and game studios. jo999 does not operate or control any third-party websites or services and is not responsible for the privacy practices, cookie policies, or data handling of any third party. This Privacy Policy applies solely to data collected and processed by jo999 in connection with the operation of jo999.io.
If you access any third-party service (for example, by initiating a bKash mobile payment through the bKash interface), your interaction with that service is governed by that service's own privacy policy and terms of use, which we encourage you to review independently.
Amendments to This Policy
jo999 reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes may be made in response to evolving legal requirements, regulatory guidance, changes in our data processing practices, or new Platform features. All amendments will be reflected in the updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.
For material changes — those that significantly affect how your personal data is processed or your rights as a data subject — jo999 will provide advance notice by displaying a prominent notice on the Platform and/or sending a notification to your registered email address. Advance notice will be provided at least fourteen (14) days before material changes take effect, giving you an opportunity to review the updated Policy and, if you do not agree, to close your account before the changes apply.
Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised Policy. jo999 recommends that you revisit this page periodically to stay informed of how your data is being handled.
