cq9 does not use your data to make automated decisions that have a material effect on you without appropriate human review. Every action involving your account involves a manual review by our team where required.

4. Information Sharing

Cq9 does not sell, rent, or disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent, except in the following limited circumstances aimed at protecting you and the integrity of the platform:

4.1 Trusted Service Providers

We work with selected third-party service providers who help us operate the platform. All such providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use your data for specified purposes:

  • Payment processor: to process deposits and withdrawals securely
  • KYC provider: to verify member identity and documents
  • Analytics service: to monitor platform performance (data is anonymized)
  • Cloud infrastructure: to store and process data securely

4.2 Legal Requirements

Cq9 may disclose your personal information to the authorities if required by law, court order, or other valid legal process. This includes criminal investigations, financial fraud cases, or compliance requirements by relevant authorities.

4.3 Platform Protection

In rare cases, we may share information with other betting platforms or industry bodies to prevent cross-platform fraud, particularly in cases involving serious abuse or confirmed illegal activity.

In all data sharing cases, cq9 shares only the minimum information necessary (data minimisation principle) and ensures that data recipients have security protections equal to or higher than our own standards.

5. Data Security

Cq9 continuously invests in the latest cybersecurity infrastructure to ensure the personal data of Malaysia members is protected at all times. The following are the layers of protection we apply:

5.1 Data Encryption

All communications between your browser or app and cq9 servers are encrypted using TLS 1.3 protocol with AES-256-bit encryption. Member passwords are never stored in plain text — we use an irreversible bcrypt hashing method.

5.2 Access Controls

Access to the member database is strictly restricted based on the least privilege principle — each cq9 staff member can only access the data genuinely required for their job responsibilities. All access is logged and audited on a regular basis.

5.3 24/7 Monitoring

The cq9 security team continuously monitors platform infrastructure using intrusion detection systems (IDS), multi-layered firewalls, and real-time threat analytics to identify and block any unauthorized access attempts.

5.4 Regular Security Testing

We conduct regular penetration testing and security audits by independent third parties to identify and address any vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

While cq9 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no security system can be guaranteed 100% foolproof. You also play an important role in your account's security — use a strong password and enable two-factor authentication (2FA).

6. Cookies & Tracking Technology

The cq9 platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance the user experience and ensure essential platform functions run smoothly. Below is a detailed explanation of the types of cookies we use:

6.1 Essential Cookies (Required)

These cookies are required for the platform's core functionality and cannot be disabled without affecting overall platform use. They include login session cookies, CSRF security tokens, and your preferred language settings.

6.2 Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how members use the platform — which pages are visited most frequently, how long sessions last, and where users encounter difficulties. This data is used in aggregate and does not identify you individually.

6.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember the preferences and settings you have configured on the platform, such as your preferred language, self-set deposit limits, and game display preferences. This enables a more personalised and consistent experience each time you log in.

6.4 Managing Your Cookies

You can manage and delete cookies through your web browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality. Refer to your browser's help guide for detailed steps on managing cookies.

8. Data Retention Period

Cq9 retains your personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes stated in this policy or as required by law. The following are our retention period guidelines:

  • Active account data: Retained for the duration your account is active and for 5 years after account closure for legal compliance purposes.
  • Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 7 years in line with Malaysia's financial and tax regulatory requirements.

  • Support communication logs: Retained for 2 years for reference and service improvement purposes.
  • Cookie and analytics data: Deleted or anonymised 13 months after the date of collection.

When data is no longer needed, cq9 will securely delete or anonymise it using methods that ensure the data cannot be recovered.

9. Third-Party Links

The cq9 platform may contain links or references to third-party websites or services in certain contexts. cq9 is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party websites.

We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit outside the cq9 platform. Clicking links to third-party websites is at your own risk and is not governed by this cq9 Privacy Policy.

Be cautious of any party claiming to represent cq9 through unofficial channels. cq9 communicates only through the official domain cq9.bz and in-platform support channels. Do not share your account information or password with anyone.

10. Changes to the Privacy Policy

Cq9 reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, new technologies, legal requirements, or other relevant factors.

When significant changes occur, we will provide clear notice via in-platform notifications, an email to your registered address, or a prominent announcement on this page. The "Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the date of the latest changes.

Continued use of the cq9 platform after any changes to the Privacy Policy take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
