HOW WE UPHOLD THESE TERMS

Data Handling, Security, and Your Account Rights

9news applies specific technical and procedural standards to honour these terms consistently.

Account Data Handling

We collect only the data needed to operate your account, verify your identity, and process your payments via UPI, Paytm, or PhonePe. Data is stored on encrypted servers and never sold to third parties under any circumstances.

Cookie Policy

We use session cookies to keep you logged in and analytics cookies to understand how pages perform. You can adjust cookie preferences from the settings panel in your account without affecting your ability to access the games lobby.

Account Security Practices

Every account is protected by two-factor authentication at login. Suspicious login attempts trigger an automatic freeze and an alert to your registered contact, so you retain control even if your credentials are compromised elsewhere.

Data Retention Period

We retain your account and transaction records for the period required under applicable Indian law. Once that period expires and your account is closed, we delete personal data from active systems within 30 days.

Who to Contact for Data Requests

Direct all data access, correction, or deletion requests to our Privacy Officer via the email listed in the Help Centre. We confirm receipt within 48 hours and complete valid requests within the statutory period.

Requesting Changes to Your Account Terms

If you need to update your registered contact details, payment method, or consent preferences, log in and use the Account Settings panel. Changes that affect your legal agreement are confirmed by email before they take effect.
