Data Security and Protection
SSL Encryption
Our entire platform is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption technology. All data transmitted from your browser to our servers is encrypted, making it impossible for third parties to read.
Access Controls
Only authorized staff can access your personal information, and only to the extent necessary. All staff are bound by strict confidentiality agreements. Access logs are audited regularly.
Security Monitoring
Our security team monitors the platform 24/7. Any suspicious activity detected is acted upon immediately and you are alerted if necessary.
Our Responsibility in the Event of a Data Breach
If there is a risk that your data security has been compromised, joa9 will notify affected users by email as quickly as possible (within a maximum of 72 hours). We will provide transparent information about the nature of the incident, the potential impact, and the steps we have taken in response.
While we are committed to ensuring the highest level of security, no internet-based system can guarantee 100% security. We therefore ask users to stay vigilant — use strong passwords and do not share your account details with anyone.
Data Retention Period
joa9 does not retain your information longer than necessary. General guidelines are given below:
- Active accounts: For the entire duration the account is active and up to 5 years after closure.

- KYC documents: A minimum of 5 years after account closure.
- Logs and technical data: Generally 1-2 years.
- Customer support conversations: Up to 3 years, unless longer retention is needed for dispute resolution.
- Fraud prevention data: Until legal proceedings are concluded.
After the specified period, data will be securely deleted or irreversibly anonymized so that you can no longer be identified.
