Vip999 only collects information that is strictly necessary to provide safe, fair and legally compliant services. Below are the categories of information we collect and the purposes for which they are collected.

We do not collect sensitive information such as facial biometric data, health information, or religious beliefs unless required by applicable law. All information collected is stored securely and is accessible only to authorised personnel.
