This Privacy Policy explains what information are999 collects when you use this platform, how that information is used, how it is protected, and what rights you have in relation to it. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to handling any data responsibly and transparently.
are999 is an informational platform and does not require account registration. We collect only the basic technical data necessary to operate and improve the site — no financial data, no payment processing.
are999 does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. Data collected is used solely to operate, secure and improve the platform for Pakistani users.
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction, consistent with industry-standard security practices.
You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you. Requests can be submitted via our support email address provided at the end of this policy.
are999 uses cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the platform and to improve the user experience. This policy explains exactly which cookies we use and why.
For any privacy concern, data request or query about how your information is handled, our support team is reachable via the plain-text email address listed in the Contact section of this policy.
are999 ("we", "us", "our") operates the website accessible at are999.cam (the "Platform"). This Privacy Policy sets out in clear, structured terms how are999 collects, processes, stores, protects and — where applicable — shares information relating to individuals who access or use the Platform ("Users", "you", "your").
are999 is an online gaming information and account-guide platform serving the Pakistan market. It is not a gambling operator, does not accept wagers or deposits, and does not hold or process financial data on behalf of Users. Because of this, the volume of personal data we handle is inherently limited. Nevertheless, we treat all data with the same care and rigour we would expect from any responsible platform operating in this space.
By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and our Responsible Gambling page, both of which form part of the overall agreement between you and are999.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following definitions apply:
are999 collects a limited and proportionate set of data categories in the course of operating the Platform. The table below summarises what we collect and why:
| Data Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Technical / Log Data | IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, page visited, timestamp | Platform security, fraud prevention, server diagnostics |
| Analytics Data | Pages viewed, session duration, device category, geographic region (country/city level) | Understanding how Users interact with Content; improving guides and navigation |
| Cookie Data | Session identifiers, preference flags, analytics identifiers | Platform functionality, user experience, aggregate usage statistics |
| Correspondence Data | Email address and message content if a User contacts us voluntarily | Responding to queries, support and feedback handling |
are999 does not collect payment card details, bank account numbers, national identity numbers (CNIC), or any financial account credentials. If you are directed to an Operator platform, any data you submit there is governed by that Operator's own privacy policy, not this one.
Data is collected through the following mechanisms when you access or use the Platform:
When you visit any page of the Platform, our web servers and analytics tools automatically log technical data including your IP address, browser version, the URL you visited, the page you came from, and the time of your visit. This data is collected passively and does not require any action on your part.
The Platform places cookies on your device when you first visit. These may include session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a defined period). Full details of the cookies we use are set out in Section 7 of this Policy.
If you choose to contact are999 — for example by sending an email to our support address — we will collect the information you provide in that communication, including your email address and the content of your message. This data is collected only because you have chosen to submit it.
The are999 Platform does not currently require Users to create an account or complete a registration form. There is no login system, no profile page and no stored user account data. Any form fields that may appear on the Platform for visual or layout purposes do not transmit data to are999's servers via POST requests.
are999 processes the data it collects for the following purposes only:
are999 does not use Personal Data for automated profiling, targeted advertising, or any form of direct marketing without explicit User consent. We do not build individual User profiles or infer gambling behaviour from browsing data.
Where data protection law requires are999 to identify a legal basis for processing Personal Data, we rely on the following grounds:
are999 uses cookies and similar browser-based technologies to support the functioning of the Platform and to gather aggregate usage statistics. We do not use cookies to identify you personally or to track you across unrelated third-party websites.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Required for basic site functionality — page rendering, navigation state, security tokens | Session |
| Analytics | Aggregate traffic measurement — page views, session counts, device types. No personally identifiable data stored. | Up to 13 months |
| Preference | Remembering User interface preferences (e.g., previously dismissed notices) | Up to 6 months |
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block, delete or restrict cookies. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform. Instructions for managing cookies are available in the help documentation of your browser.
Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. are999 currently does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals, as no uniform industry standard for responding to such signals has been established. We will review this position as standards evolve.
are999 does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise transfer your Personal Data to third parties for their own commercial purposes. Data may be shared only in the following limited circumstances:
We may engage third-party service providers — such as web hosting companies, content delivery networks and analytics platforms — who process data on our behalf under strict contractual terms that prohibit them from using the data for their own purposes. These providers are required to implement appropriate security measures consistent with their role as data Processors.
are999 may disclose Personal Data if required to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction, regulatory authority or other legal process under Applicable Law. We will take reasonable steps to notify affected Users of any such disclosure unless prohibited from doing so by law or court order.
In the event that are999 undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of assets, User data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before Personal Data becomes subject to a materially different privacy policy.
are999 does not share Personal Data with advertisers, gambling Operators, payment providers (including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah) or any other commercial entity for marketing, profiling or targeting purposes. Mentions of those payment services on this Platform are purely contextual references for Pakistani readers and carry no data-sharing implication.
are999 retains Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by Applicable Law. Our general retention approach is as follows:
When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to any individual User.
are999 implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Personal Data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These measures include, but are not limited to:
No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we take the protection of your data seriously, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Users are encouraged to take their own precautions when sharing information online.
Depending on the data protection laws applicable in your jurisdiction, you may have some or all of the following rights in relation to Personal Data that are999 holds about you:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact are999 using the support email address provided in Section 16. We will respond to all valid requests within a reasonable timeframe and in any event within 30 calendar days of receipt. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
are999 will not charge a fee for handling reasonable data rights requests. We reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee or decline to act on requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive.
18+ Only: The are999 Platform is intended for adults aged 18 years or older, or the higher minimum age required by the applicable Operator or licence jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under this age.
If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected Personal Data from a minor, we will take prompt steps to delete that data from our records. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has provided Personal Data to are999, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 16.
are999 is an English-language platform primarily serving users in Pakistan, including those in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar and beyond. We recognise that Pakistan has its own evolving legal framework around data protection and digital privacy, and we endeavour to handle data in a manner consistent with best practices applicable in the region.
are999 does not claim to be registered with, regulated by, or approved by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the State Bank of Pakistan, or any other Pakistani regulatory body in the context of data protection. We do not represent that this Privacy Policy satisfies any specific regulatory requirement under Pakistani law. Users with specific legal concerns about their data rights under Pakistani law are encouraged to seek qualified independent legal advice.
The Content on are999 may reference or describe third-party platforms, including gambling Operators, sports organisations and payment services. Where such references include contextual descriptions of how those platforms work — such as how a player might initiate a withdrawal via a Pakistan bank transfer, or how KYC verification works for a betting account — this is for informational purposes only.
are999 does not control third-party websites or platforms and is not responsible for their privacy practices. If you navigate to a third-party site, that site's own privacy policy will apply. We encourage Users to review the privacy policies of any third-party platforms they interact with, particularly before submitting personal or financial information.
are999 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date displayed at the top of this page. Where changes are material — meaning they significantly affect how we use your data or your rights in relation to it — we will take reasonable steps to draw Users' attention to the update.
Your continued use of the Platform following publication of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to a revised Policy, you should discontinue use of the Platform. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed of how we handle data.
If you have any questions, concerns or requests regarding this Privacy Policy, or if you wish to exercise any of your data rights as described in Section 11, please reach out to the are999 team using the contact details below. All communications should be made in English.
