Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Purpose of Processing
We process personal information strictly for defined, legitimate purposes connected with the operation of Ipay9 and the Website. These purposes include:

Disclosure & Sharing
We may disclose or share your personal information to the extent reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy and in accordance with applicable laws. Where we engage third parties, we require them to handle your information securely and only for specified purposes.
Service Providers and Business Partners
- Payment Processors and Financial Institutions: To process deposits, withdrawals, and other transactions in a secure and compliant manner.

Regulators, Authorities, and Legal Recipients
- Government agencies, gambling regulators, law enforcement bodies, tax authorities, and courts, where disclosure is required by law, regulation, or legal process.
- Third parties involved in legal proceedings, such as our professional advisers (lawyers, auditors) where reasonably necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
Affiliates, Marketing, and Advertising Networks
- Subject to your consent where required, we may share limited data with affiliates, marketing partners, and advertising networks for the purpose of measuring campaign effectiveness and presenting relevant promotions.
- We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes; any such sharing is conducted under contractual safeguards and in compliance with applicable laws.
Corporate Transactions
- In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction involving Ipay9, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction, subject to confidentiality protections and continued privacy safeguards.
Where information is shared with third parties located outside your jurisdiction, we implement appropriate transfer safeguards as described in the section "International Transfers".
International Transfers
Due to the global nature of online gambling infrastructure and services, your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the one in which you reside. This may include, for example, data centres, payment processors, identity verification providers, or game providers located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Asia-Pacific regions, or other jurisdictions.
- We take reasonable steps to ensure that any overseas recipients of your personal information protect it in a manner substantially similar to the protections afforded under applicable Australian privacy principles and other relevant standards.
- Where we transfer personal information from regions with specific data export rules (such as the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom), we will implement appropriate safeguards, which may include:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent contractual instruments approved by relevant authorities;
- Contractual obligations requiring recipients to apply robust technical and organisational security measures and limit processing to specified purposes;
- Risk assessments and, where appropriate, additional technical measures (e.g., encryption, access controls) to mitigate transfer-related risks.
- We will not transfer your personal information internationally if such transfer would be inconsistent with binding local legal restrictions applicable to Ipay9.
By using ipay9-aussie.com, you understand that your information may be processed in countries that may have different data protection laws than your own, but we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the category of data and applicable legal requirements, including gambling and financial regulations.
- Account and Identification Data: Typically retained for the duration of your account and for a period of up to 5 - 7 years after account closure, to comply with AML/CTF, gambling, and financial record-keeping obligations, and to address potential legal claims.
- Transaction and Payment Data: Retained for statutory periods required under financial, taxation, and AML/CTF laws, generally up to 7 years from the date of the last transaction.
- Gambling Activity and Behavioral Data: Retained for as long as necessary to support responsible gambling monitoring, dispute resolution, and regulatory reporting, typically up to 5 years after your last activity unless a longer period is required by law.
- Marketing and Communication Data: Retained for as long as you remain subscribed to marketing communications, and then for a short period (usually up to 2 years) to maintain records of consent and opt-out requests.
- Technical Logs and Security Data: Retained for shorter periods (typically 6 - 24 months), unless longer retention is necessary to investigate security incidents or align with legal requirements.
When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to de-identify or securely destroy it, unless retention is required or authorised by law. If you request deletion of your data, we will comply to the extent permitted by legal and regulatory retention obligations.
Your Rights
Ipay9 aims to align with internationally recognised privacy rights frameworks, including principles similar to those under the GDPR and relevant non-EU regulations. Subject to applicable law and certain exceptions, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal information:
- Right of Access: To request confirmation of whether we hold personal information about you and to obtain a copy of that information, along with an explanation of how it is used.
- Right to Rectification: To request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information held by us.
- Right to Erasure ("Deletion"): To request deletion of your personal information where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you have withdrawn consent (where applicable), or where processing is otherwise unlawful, subject to our legal retention obligations.
- Right to Restrict Processing: To request that we limit the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances, for example while we verify its accuracy or consider an objection.
- Right to Object: To object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing and, in some cases, processing based on our legitimate interests.
- Right to Data Portability: Where technically feasible and where required by applicable law, to receive personal information you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to request that we transmit it to another controller.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal. This includes unsubscribing from marketing communications.
How to Exercise Your Rights
- Submit your request by emailing [email protected] with "Privacy Request" in the subject line and provide sufficient information to verify your identity (such as your username, registered email address, and any relevant transaction or account details).
- We may request additional information solely to confirm your identity and to ensure the security of your personal information.
- We will respond to your request within 30 days of receipt or within any shorter timeframe required by applicable law. If we need more time due to complexity or volume, we will inform you of the extension and reasons.
- In general, we will handle your request free of charge. However, where a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request, as permitted by law.
Some rights may be limited or unavailable where we are legally required to retain data (for example, for AML/CTF compliance or gambling regulation) or where disclosure would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. Where we refuse or partially comply with a request, we will explain the reasons unless prohibited by law.
