1. LEGAL BINDING AGREEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE
This Universal Privacy Policy (the "Policy") constitutes a legally binding agreement between 999Precious (hereinafter referred to as "999Pawn", "Company", "we", "us", or "our") and you, whether personally or on behalf of a business entity (hereinafter referred to as "User", "Member", "Applicant", or "you").
This Policy governs your access to and use of the 999Pawn luxury asset ecosystem, including but not limited to:

• The Public Portals: and 999pawn.com exclusive.999pawn.com
• The B2B Trading Platform: club.999pawn.com
• Encrypted Alpha-Channels: Private networking groups managed via third-party messaging services (WhatsApp and Telegram).

BY SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION, REGISTERING AN ACCOUNT, OR ACCESSING ANY PART OF THE ECOSYSTEM, YOU EXPLICITLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE ENTIRETY OF THIS POLICY. If you do not agree with any provision of this Policy, you must immediately cease all access to the sites and services. Accessing the Ecosystem and providing information through our forms constitutes your full consent to the data processing, retention, and liability protocols defined herein.

2. THE "INTERMEDIARY ONLY" DOCTRINE AND SERVICE NATURE
999Pawn operates exclusively as a High-Security Digital Facilitator and a B2B/B2C Bulletin Board Infrastructure. It is critical that all Users understand the boundaries of our involvement in the luxury asset trade.
2.1. Passive Technological Infrastructure. 999Pawn provides the digital venue for verified professional networking and asset listing. We are not an auctioneer, a broker, a licensed appraiser, or a party to any contract. We do not act as an agent for either the Customer (seller) or the Pawnbroker (buyer/lender).
2.2. Financial Neutrality & No Payment Involvement. 999Pawn is NOT a financial institution, escrow service, or money transmitter.

• We do not process, facilitate, hold, or guarantee the exchange of funds between Users for any luxury assets.
• All financial negotiations, purchase payments, loan disbursements, and interest settlements are conducted independently of the Ecosystem.
• We have no insight into, or control over, the final financial terms agreed upon between Users.

2.3. Logistical & Custodial Disclaimer. 999Pawn never takes physical possession, custody, or control of any luxury assets described or listed within the Ecosystem.

• We do not provide shipping, insurance, or storage services for assets.
• The physical inspection, verification of authenticity, and secure delivery of goods are the sole responsibility of the transacting Users.

2.4. Informational Purpose Only. Any "Expert Consensus," estimated valuations, or market data provided within the Private Club or Alpha-Channels are for informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute a formal appraisal or a guarantee of value. Users must rely on their own professional expertise before committing to any transaction.

3. CATEGORIES OF DATA COLLECTED AND PROCESSING PROTOCOLS
To maintain the security and exclusivity of the Ecosystem, 999Pawn collects and processes specific categories of information. The depth of data collection depends on the User’s role (Professional or Customer).
3.1. Professional Pawnbroker & Business Data (B2B) For individuals and entities applying for access to the Private Club and Alpha-Channels, we collect "Know Your Business" (KYB) identifiers, including but not limited to:

• Authorized Representative Information: Full legal name, professional title, direct business email, and primary telephone number.
• Business Credentials: Legal registered name of the business entity, physical storefront address (residential addresses or P.O. Boxes are strictly prohibited), and official website or Google Maps listing.
• Regulatory & Licensing Assets: High-resolution digital scans or photographs of active Pawnbroker Licenses, local operating permits, and government-issued authorizations.
• Verification Identifiers: Government-issued identification (Passport, Driver’s License) of the business owner or authorized representative for manual identity cross-referencing.
• Social Connectivity Handles: Telegram and WhatsApp handles/numbers required for integration into the encrypted Alpha-Channels.

3.2. Retail Customer & Asset Data (B2C) For individuals utilizing the public interface to request appraisals or liquidate assets, we collect:

• Lead Information: Full name, contact details (email/phone), and general geographic location.
• Asset Intelligence: Detailed high-resolution imagery of high-value items (watches, jewelry, precious metals, diamonds), descriptions of the item’s condition, and any provided digital copies of certificates of authenticity or original purchase receipts.

3.3. Technical and Metadata Collection For security and fraud prevention, our servers automatically collect:

• Device Fingerprinting: IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, and unique device identifiers.
• Geolocation Data: General location data to ensure compliance with regional pawnbroking jurisdictions.
• Image Metadata: We reserve the right to analyze EXIF metadata on uploaded images for verification, though we purge this data before any internal B2B distribution to protect User privacy.

3.4. Financial Transaction Metadata While we do not handle transaction funds between users, we collect billing information through our Third-Party Payment Processor for the purpose of managing the $99.99/month subscription. This includes billing addresses and truncated card information (e.g., last 4 digits) for record-keeping purposes.

4. VERIFICATION WORKFLOW, SUBSCRIPTION, AND ACCOUNT SECURITY
The Ecosystem operates as a restricted, invitation-only environment. Access is granted only upon the successful completion of our multi-stage onboarding protocol.
4.1. The Manual Review Process (Audit Phase). Every application submitted via or undergoes a comprehensive manual audit by our Compliance Department. 999Pawn reserves the absolute right to:999pawn.com exclusive.999pawn.com

• Contact local issuing authorities to verify the validity of professional licenses.
• Request additional documentation or live identity verification (Video KYC).
• Reject any application at our sole discretion without providing a specific justification.

4.2. Subscription Activation & Recurring Billing. Upon approval of the application, the User must activate their membership by paying the designated subscription fee.

• Membership Fee: Access to the Private Club and Alpha-Channels is subject to a recurring monthly fee of $99.99.
• Automatic Renewal: By providing payment details to our Third-Party Payment Processor, you authorize the Company to charge the subscription fee automatically every thirty (30) days.
• Non-Refundability: Due to the manual labor involved in the audit process and the immediate access granted to proprietary B2B data, all payments are strictly non-refundable.

4.3. Issuance of Access Credentials. Once payment is confirmed, 999Pawn generates and issues Temporary Access Credentials (Username and Temporary Password) to the User for access to .club.999pawn.com
4.4. Mandatory Password Reset & Security Responsibility. * Mandatory Action: Upon the first successful login, the User is strictly required to change the temporary password to a unique, high-complexity password known only to the User.

• Liability for Compromise: 999Pawn shall not be held liable for any unauthorized access, data breaches, or financial losses resulting from the User’s failure to change the temporary password or for the use of weak or shared credentials.
• Credential Sharing Prohibited: Access is granted to the individual or business entity verified. Sharing login credentials with unauthorized third parties or other businesses will result in immediate termination of access without a refund.

4.5. Access Monitoring and Session Security. To prevent "Account Takeover" (ATO) and unauthorized entry, we implement continuous monitoring of login patterns, IP addresses, and device fingerprints. We reserve the right to lock any account that demonstrates suspicious or geographically inconsistent access patterns.

5. DATA RETENTION, PERPETUAL REGISTRY, AND USER ACCOUNTABILITY
5.1. The Professional Integrity Ledger. To maintain the security and exclusivity of the Private Club, 999Pawn maintains a long-term data retention policy for all professional members.

• Historical Records: Business verification data, including license copies and identity documents, are retained as part of a permanent "Professional Integrity Ledger." This is essential to prevent the re-entry of bad actors and to provide a verified audit trail for any past transactions conducted within the Ecosystem.
• Non-Erasure Policy for Compliance: While users may request account deactivation, 999Pawn reserves the right to retain core verification data in an encrypted, offline state. This is necessary to satisfy Anti-Money Laundering (AML) standards, internal security protocols, and to assist in potential legal or regulatory inquiries.

5.2. Strict Individual Legal Accountability. 999Pawn provides the digital infrastructure, but the User carries 100% of the legal, criminal, and financial burden for their conduct.

• User-Generated Content: Any User who lists, discusses, or trades assets—including stolen property, counterfeit items, or assets with legal liens—does so in direct violation of this Policy and at their own legal peril.
• Platform Immunity: 999Pawn acts as a passive conduit for information. We are not a party to any transactions and will not be held as an accessory or participant in any illegal acts performed by Users.
• Law Enforcement Cooperation: We reserve the right to disclose any retained data, including IP logs and verification documents, to law enforcement agencies (such as the FBI, FinCEN, or local police) without prior notice to the User, if we have a good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal process or investigation.

5.3. No Warranty of Professional Integrity. The "Verified Member" status indicates only that 999Pawn performed a Manual Review of the professional license at the time of application.

• It does not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, or guarantee of a Member's business ethics or financial solvency.
• Mandatory Due Diligence: Users are strictly required to perform their own independent due diligence (verifying goods, checking external references) before committing to any trade or financial exchange with other members.

5.4. Indemnification. By using the Ecosystem, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold 999Precious (999Pawn) harmless from any third-party claims, lawsuits, or government fines resulting from your actions, your misrepresentations during the verification process, or your failure to comply with local trade and pawn laws.

6. ALPHA-CHANNELS AND THIRD-PARTY NETWORKING RISKS
The 999Pawn Ecosystem utilizes external, encrypted third-party messaging services (WhatsApp and Telegram) to facilitate real-time networking, asset liquidation, and "Expert Consensus" discussions through our proprietary Alpha-Channels.
6.1. Third-Party Platform Dependency. By joining Alpha-Channels, you acknowledge that these services are owned and operated by third parties (Meta Platforms, Inc. and Telegram FZ-LLC).

• Privacy Policies: You are subject to the respective Privacy Policies and Terms of Service of those platforms.
• Data Security: 999Pawn is not responsible for the underlying encryption, data storage protocols, or potential security vulnerabilities of WhatsApp or Telegram.

6.2. Disclosure of Contact Information. Entry into an Alpha-Channel inherently involves the visibility of your professional contact identifiers (phone number, profile name, and handle) to other verified members within that group.

• By requesting entry into these channels, you grant 999Pawn permission to add your contact details to these groups.
• 999Pawn is not liable for any unsolicited communication or "side-deals" initiated by other members using information obtained within the Alpha-Channels.

6.3. User Conduct and Information Leakage. * Confidentiality: Information shared within Alpha-Channels is intended for the exclusive use of verified members. However, 999Pawn cannot technically prevent, and is not liable for, any member taking screenshots, copying data, or leaking proprietary "Alpha" information to outside parties.

• Peer-to-Peer Disputes: 999Pawn does not act as a moderator, arbitrator, or judge in disputes arising from interactions within Alpha-Channels. We are not liable for the accuracy of "Expert Consensus" or any financial losses resulting from business decisions made based on group discussions.

6.4. Right to Termination. 999Pawn reserves the absolute right to remove any member from Alpha-Channels at its sole discretion, without prior notice, for conduct deemed detrimental to the community (e.g., "poaching" leads, harassment, or spreading misinformation). Such removal does not entitle the member to a refund of their subscription fee.

7. SERVICE AVAILABILITY, TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS, AND FORCE MAJEURE
7.1. "As-Is" and "As-Available" Warranty Disclaimer. 999Pawn provides its entire digital infrastructure—including all web domains (999pawn.com, exclusive.999pawn.com, club.999pawn.com) and the management of Alpha-Channels—strictly on an "as-is" basis. We expressly disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or free from viruses or technical errors.
7.2. Comprehensive Limitation of Liability for Outages. Under no circumstances shall 999Precious (999Pawn), its owners, or employees be held liable for any financial losses, "lost deals," loss of anticipated profits, or business interruptions resulting from:

• System Downtime: Planned or unplanned server maintenance, hosting failures, or software glitches.
• Third-Party Disruptions: The sudden suspension, termination, or change in API/Terms of Service by external providers (e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram, or our Payment Processors). If a deal is lost because a messaging group is deleted or a payment is delayed, 999Pawn carries zero financial liability.
• Cybersecurity Events: Criminal acts such as DDoS attacks, hacking, or unauthorized database entry, provided that 999Pawn has maintained reasonable industry-standard encrypted cloud storage protocols.

7.3. Force Majeure (Acts of God). 999Pawn shall not be responsible for any failure to perform its obligations if such failure is caused by events beyond its reasonable control. This includes, but is not limited to: natural disasters, war, civil unrest, government-mandated internet shutdowns or censorship, global pandemics, or catastrophic failures of national power grids or telecommunications networks.
7.4. Modification and Discontinuation. 999Pawn reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, relocate, or discontinue any feature of the Ecosystem (including the "Private Club" dashboard or the "Exclusive Access" entry requirements) at any time without prior notice or liability.

8. ASSET IMAGERY AND DATA RIGHTS
8.1. License to User-Generated Content. By uploading photographs, descriptions, or certificates of luxury assets (watches, diamonds, etc.) to the Ecosystem, you grant 999Pawn a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use, analyze, and display this content for the purposes of:

• Facilitating B2B trades and B2C lead distribution.
• Developing internal valuation analytics and "Expert Consensus" databases.
• Improving platform security and fraud detection algorithms.

8.2. Metadata and Privacy Scrubbing. 999Pawn implements automated protocols to remove EXIF metadata (such as GPS coordinates and device info) from uploaded images before they are shared within the B2B network. However, we are not responsible for metadata contained within images shared directly by users via WhatsApp or Telegram Alpha-Channels.

9. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE, JURISDICTION, AND AMENDMENTS
9.1. Global Privacy Standards. While 999Pawn is a U.S. entity, we strive to maintain high standards of data protection for our international and domestic professional community:

• CCPA (California Privacy Rights Act): We do not "sell" your personal or business data to third-party marketing brokers for profit. Data sharing is strictly limited to the internal B2B network for the purpose of facilitating the transactions you initiate.
• GDPR (European Union): For Users in the EEA, our data processing is based on Contractual Necessity (to provide the requested Club services) and Legitimate Interest (to ensure the security and integrity of the luxury asset market).

9.2. "Do Not Sell My Information" Request. Under the CCPA, you have the right to opt-out of the "sale" of your personal data.

• Exercise Your Right: You may submit an opt-out request or a request to access/delete your data at any time.
• Mechanism: To do so, please contact us via the Official Contact Form on our website (999pawn.com) or by sending a direct inquiry to our Compliance Office at pawn@999precious.com.
• Note: Because our core service depends on connecting Users, exercising an opt-out for data sharing within the B2B network will result in the immediate termination of access to the Private Club and Alpha-Channels.

9.3. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Policy and all matters arising from your use of the Ecosystem shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Sheridan, Wyoming.
9.4. Severability. If any provision of this Policy is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be deemed modified to the least extent necessary to make it enforceable.
9.5. Modifications to this Policy. 999Pawn reserves the right to update or revise this Policy at any time.

• The "Effective Date" at the top of this document will reflect the latest version.
• Your continued use of the Ecosystem after any changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
• It is the User's responsibility to review this Policy periodically for updates.
