This Privacy Policy outlines joya9's privacy practices and protects your rights as a player. By using our platform, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this document. Please read it carefully and contact us if you have any questions.

1 Introduction

Joya9 ("we", "Platform") takes your privacy very seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our online betting platform at joya9.co and its associated mobile applications.

We process your personal data based on recognised data protection principles, including data minimisation, clear purpose, secure storage, and full transparency to you as the data owner. Every data-related decision we make always prioritises the interests and safety of our players.

This Privacy Policy applies to all registered players, website visitors, and any individual who interacts with the joya9 platform in any capacity. By continuing to use our services after reading this policy, you give your consent to data processing as described.

2 Personal Information We Collect

Depending on how you use our platform, joya9 may collect various types of personal information. The following are the main data categories we process:
