You may manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may impact your ability to log in, maintain a session, or access certain Platform features. FC99 does not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies.
Data Retention
FC99 retains your Personal Data for as long as your account remains active and for period thereafter as required to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy or as mandated by applicable law. The following general retention periods apply:

Data Security
FC99 implements a layered security architecture to protect your Personal Data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security measures include:
- Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and the FC99 Platform is protected using TLS 1.2 or higher (256-bit SSL encryption).
- Encryption at Rest: Sensitive data stored on our servers — including financial details and identity documents — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 or equivalent standards.
- Access Controls: Access to Personal Data is restricted to authorised personnel on a strict need-to-know basis. All staff with access to member data receive mandatory data protection training.
- Two-Factor Authentication: FC99 supports and strongly encourages the use of 2FA on all member accounts to mitigate the risk of unauthorised access.
- Regular Security Audits: The Platform undergoes regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments by independent security professionals.
- Incident Response: In the event of a data breach affecting your Personal Data, FC99 will notify affected members without undue delay and take immediate steps to contain and remediate the incident.
While FC99 takes all reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to maintain a strong, unique password for your FC99 account and to notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorised access.
Your Rights
As a Member of FC99, you have a number of rights in relation to your Personal Data. These rights are summarised below. To exercise any of them, please contact our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request". We will respond within 30 days of receiving a verifiable request.
Right of Access
You may request a copy of the Personal Data FC99 holds about you, including the categories of data, the purposes of processing, and any third parties with whom it has been shared.
Right to Rectification
If any Personal Data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that it be corrected or updated. You may also update basic contact details directly through your account settings.
Right to Erasure
You may request deletion of your Personal Data in certain circumstances — for example, where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. This right is subject to our legal retention obligations.
Right to Restriction
You may request that we restrict processing of your Personal Data in specific circumstances — for example, while a dispute about its accuracy is being resolved.
Right to Portability
Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract, you may request that we provide your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format for transfer to another service provider.
Right to Object
You may object to the processing of your Personal Data where it is based on FC99's legitimate interests, including objecting to receiving direct marketing communications at any time.
Please note that some rights may be subject to limitations where FC99 is required by law to retain or process your data — for example, AML retention obligations or ongoing investigation of suspected fraud. In such cases, we will explain the applicable restriction when responding to your request.
Children & Minors
FC99 is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from any individual under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory step during account registration and is enforced through our KYC process.
If FC99 becomes aware that Personal Data has been collected from an individual who is under 21 years of age, we will take immediate steps to delete that information and close the associated account. All funds held in such an account will be subject to compliance review prior to any return.
Parents and guardians who become aware that minor may have registered on the FC99 Platform should contact us immediately at [email protected]. We treat all such reports with the highest urgency and will act promptly upon receipt of a verified report.
Changes to This Policy
FC99 reviews this Privacy Policy periodically and may update it to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal obligations, or the services we offer. When material changes are made — including changes that affect your rights or how we use your data — we will notify active members by email and post a prominent notice on the Platform for a period of at least 14 days before the changes take effect.
Non-material changes — such as typographical corrections, clarifications of existing practices, or structural reformating — may be made without prior notice, though the updated date shown at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
Your continued use of the FC99 Platform following the effective date of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you disagree with any material change, you are entitled to close your account and request deletion of your data subject to applicable legal retention obligations.
