979 takes the protection of every user's personal data seriously. This document transparently explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information in accordance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA).
Six core principles that form the foundation of 979's data protection policy.
All personal data and financial transactions are protected with AES-256 bit encryption — the same standard used by banking institutions and governments worldwide.
979 does not sell, rent, or trade users' personal data to any third party for marketing purposes. Your data belongs entirely to you.
You have the full right to access, correct, transfer, or request the deletion of your personal data via the account control panel or by contacting our team.
Every aspect of data processing at 979 fully complies with the Malaysia Personal Data Protection Act 2010, including the principles of security, integrity, and data use limitation.
Only specifically authorised personnel may access user data. All access is logged and periodically audited by 979's internal security team.
In the event of any data security breach affecting your information, 979 is committed to notifying you within 72 hours and taking immediate remedial action.
Important Note: By using the 979 platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any provision, please discontinue use of the platform.
979 (hereinafter referred to as "we", "the platform" or "979.bar") values the privacy of every user on our online entertainment platform. This Privacy Policy is written in clear, plain language to ensure you know exactly how your personal data is handled from start to finish.
As a platform operating in Malaysia and serving local users, 979 fully complies with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA), the primary legislation governing personal data processing in this country. We believe that user trust is our most valuable asset, and the best way to earn that trust is through complete transparency.
This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected through the 979.bar website, the 979 mobile app, and any written or conversational interactions you have with our support team. Please read this document carefully and keep a copy for your reference.
This Privacy Policy forms part of the overarching agreement between you and 979, together with Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming us.
979 collects users' personal data through several different methods depending on how you interact with our platform. The following are the categories of data we may collect:
| Data Category | Example Information | Collection Methods |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Information | Full name, MyKad/passport number, date of birth, gender | Registration form, eKYC |
| Contact Information | Email address, phone number, residential address | Registration form, profile updates |
| Financial Information | Bank account number, e-wallet, transaction records | Deposit and withdrawal process |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, web browser, operating system | Automated system logs |
| Usage Data | Games played, total wagering amount, session duration | Automated platform monitoring |
| Communication Data | Live chat records, support emails, complaints | Interactions with the support team |
We only collect data that is strictly necessary to provide our services, fulfil legal obligations, and ensure platform security. The principle of data minimisation is rigorously applied to every information collection process at 979.
979 will never ask for your password, PIN, or sensitive information via email or live chat. If you receive such a request, it may be a fraud attempt — please report it to our security team immediately.
Every piece of data we collect has a clear, lawful purpose directly related to the operation of the 979 platform. We do not process data for any purpose that has not been disclosed to you. The following are the primary purposes of data processing at 979:
The legal basis for our data processing is a combination of contractual performance, legal obligations, 979's legitimate interests, and — in certain cases such as marketing communications — your explicit consent.
979 does not sell or trade users' personal data. However, in certain limited situations, we may share data with carefully selected third parties:
All third parties receiving 979 user data are contractually bound to use that data only for specified purposes, maintain appropriate security standards, and not disclose the data to other parties without authorisation.
In cases where data needs to be transferred outside Malaysia (e.g. to international cloud providers), 979 ensures such transfers are carried out with contractual protections equivalent to Malaysia's PDPA.
979 continuously invests in the latest security infrastructure to ensure users' personal data is protected against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or unintended disclosure. Our layers of protection include:
While we take all reasonable security measures, no system can guarantee 100% absolute security. You are also responsible for protecting your account login credentials and must not share your password with anyone.
979 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance the user experience, maintain session security, and understand overall platform usage patterns. There are several types of cookies we use:
You can manage or delete cookies through your web browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to log in and use certain features of the 979 platform. 979 cookies are not used to track your activity on other websites outside our platform.
Under Malaysia's PDPA 2010, you have legally protected rights regarding your personal data. 979 respects and facilitates the exercise of all these rights:
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. Requests will be processed within 21 working days.
If your data is inaccurate or outdated, you may request a correction through your account profile section or by contacting support.
You may request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, subject to legally mandated record retention obligations.
You may object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time without providing a reason.
You may request your data in a machine-readable format for transfer to another platform if required.
In certain situations, you may request that we restrict the processing of your data while a dispute or review is in progress.
To exercise any of the above rights, contact our data privacy team via live chat on the platform or send an email to [email protected]. We will verify your identity before processing any request to protect the security of your account.
979 retains users' personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes of collection and related legal obligations. The following are our general data retention guidelines:
When the retention period expires, data will be securely deleted using non-recoverable deletion methods, or anonymised so it can no longer be linked to any specific individual.
The 979 platform is designed exclusively for adults aged 18 and above. We do not intentionally collect or process personal data from individuals under the age of 18.
Our mandatory eKYC process during registration is specifically designed to detect and prevent sign-ups by underage individuals. Should we discover that a child's personal data has been inadvertently collected, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the account in question.
If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your underage child has registered on the 979 platform, please contact us immediately via live chat. We will handle such cases with the highest priority.
979 reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our privacy practices, new legal requirements, or platform improvements. We will notify you of any material changes via:
It is the user's responsibility to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the 979 platform after the effective date of any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
If you disagree with any changes made, you have the right to close your account and discontinue use of the platform before the changes take effect. All data will be managed in accordance with the version of the Privacy Policy in force at the time of original data collection.
If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal data, there are several ways to reach the 979 data privacy team:
For official complaints regarding personal data protection that cannot be resolved by our team, you may submit a complaint to Department of Personal Data Protection (JPDP) Malaysia via their official portal.
We guarantee these rights to all 979 platform users at no additional charge.
