Your Privacy Rights at Bk9 Casino
Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and, where applicable, the GDPR, you have a number of important privacy rights in relation to the personal data Bk9 Casino holds about you. The Bk9 Casino privacy rights framework ensures you can exercise the following rights at any time:
Right to Access Your Personal Information
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, along with information about how it is processed and the legal basis for each processing activity. We will respond to access requests within 30 days of receipt. There is no charge for reasonable access requests.
Right to Correction of Personal Data
If any of your personal data held by Bk9 Casino is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or update it. You may also update basic account information directly through your account settings without contacting us.
Right to Deletion
You may request the deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances — for example, when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you have withdrawn consent and no other lawful basis exists. Please note that we may be required to retain certain data for legal, regulatory, or compliance reasons even after account closure.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request that Bk9 Casino restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for instance, while we are investigating a complaint, a dispute, or verifying the accuracy of the data concerned.
Right to Data Portability
Where data processing is based on consent or contractual necessity and is carried out by automated means, you may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format such as CSV or JSON.
Right to Object
You may object to the processing of your user data for direct marketing purposes at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing communication, adjusting your account communication preferences, or by contacting us at [email protected]. Where processing is based on legitimate interests, you may also object on grounds relating to your particular situation.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on your consent — for example, for marketing emails or optional analytics cookies — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
To exercise any of these privacy rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. Bk9 Casino will acknowledge all requests promptly and respond within 30 days. If additional time is required, we will inform you within the initial 30-day period and provide an estimated completion date.
