• Legal compliance: Processing required to comply with legal obligations applicable to bk9, including KYC requirements and financial reporting.

Bk9 does not sell, rent, or disclose your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, in certain limited and lawful situations, your data may be shared as follows:

• Service providers: bk9 works with trusted service providers, including payment processors, technical infrastructure providers, and identity verification services. All these providers are bound by strict data protection agreements and are only permitted to use your data for specified purposes.
• Legal requirements: In cases where bk9 is required by law, court order, or direction from a lawful authority to disclose certain information, we will comply with such directions.
• Fraud prevention: Certain information may be shared with fraud prevention bodies or relevant financial institutions for the purpose of detecting and preventing illegal activity.
• Business transfers: In the event of an acquisition, merger, or transfer of bk9 business assets, user data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

Protecting your data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse is a top technical and organisational priority for bk9. We continuously invest in the latest security infrastructure to ensure our platform maintains the highest level of protection at all times.

Technical security measures we implement:

• 256-bit SSL encryption: All communications between your device and bk9 servers are fully encrypted using the latest TLS/SSL protocols.

• Following account closure, your data is retained for a minimum of seven (7) years to meet legal and financial audit requirements.
• Data that is no longer required will be securely deleted or anonymised so that it cannot be linked to any specific individual.
