1. Introduction

bgw999 ("bgw999", "we", "us", "our") operates the online gaming and sports betting platform accessible at bgw999.net (the "Platform"). This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how bgw999 collects, processes, stores, discloses, and otherwise handles personal information relating to individuals who visit or use the Platform ("you", "your", "User").

By registering an account with bgw999, making a deposit, placing a bet, or otherwise using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not consent, you must not use the Platform.

This Policy should be read alongside the bgw999 Terms & Conditions, which govern the use of the Platform and are incorporated into this Policy by reference.

2. Data Controller

For the purposes of this Policy, bgw999 acts as the data controller in respect of the personal information it collects and processes about Users of the Platform. The data controller is responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing personal data.

Where bgw999 engages third-party service providers (such as KYC verification providers, payment processors, and analytics platforms) to process data on its behalf, those providers act as data processors under instructions from bgw999.

All data-related enquiries should be directed to the bgw999 support team at the contact address provided in Section 15 of this Policy.
