• Direct interactions: Information you provide when registering an account, completing KYC verification, making a deposit or withdrawal, contacting support, or completing a responsible gaming assessment.
• Automated technologies: Technical and usage data collected automatically when you access the Platform via cookies, web beacons, server logs, and similar tracking technologies. See Section 10 for full details on cookie use.
• Third-party sources: Identity verification data supplied by our KYC providers; fraud-risk signals from payment processors such as bKash, Nagad, and Rocket; and publicly available data used to verify the accuracy of information you have provided.
• Payment providers: When you transact using bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay, we receive confirmation of the transaction amount, timestamp, and the mobile number associated with your wallet, as shared by the respective payment provider.

3.2 ba899 does not purchase data lists or acquire personal data from data brokers for marketing purposes.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

4.1 ba899 processes your personal data only where a valid legal basis exists. The applicable legal bases are:

• Contractual necessity: Processing required to create and manage your ba899 account, execute deposits and withdrawals, settle bets, and provide customer support.
• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) obligations, know-your-customer (KYC) requirements, fraud prevention duties, and any other applicable legal or regulatory obligation.
• Legitimate interests: Processing undertaken in furtherance of ba899's legitimate business interests — including fraud detection, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and service improvement — provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
• Consent: Processing based on your freely given, specific, informed consent — primarily in the context of marketing communications. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

5 How We Use Your Data

5.1 ba899 uses the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

• Registering and managing your ba899 account.
• Verifying your identity and age (21+) in accordance with our KYC obligations.

• Monitoring your gaming activity for responsible gaming purposes and applying account restrictions where appropriate.
• Providing customer support, responding to your queries, and managing complaints.
• Sending you service-related communications — including security alerts, account notifications, and updates to our Terms & Conditions or Privacy Policy.
• Sending you marketing communications about ba899 promotions, bonuses, and new features — only where you have provided your consent.
• Analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve the performance, design, and content of the Platform.
• Complying with all applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

5.2 ba899 will not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes listed above without first obtaining your consent or establishing a new legal basis for processing.

6 Sharing Your Data

6.1 ba899 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to unaffiliated third parties for commercial purposes. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment service providers: bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay receive the minimum data necessary to process your transactions securely.
• Identity verification providers: Third-party KYC partners receive identity and address documents you submit in order to verify your information against their databases.
• Game technology providers: Studios such as Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi receive a pseudonymous player identifier and session data necessary to deliver their games within the ba899 Platform. These providers do not receive your full name, contact details, or financial data.
• IT and security providers: Cloud hosting, data backup, fraud-detection, and cybersecurity service providers that process data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements.
• Legal and regulatory authorities: Competent authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts where ba899 is legally obligated or permitted to disclose data — for example, in connection with AML investigations or court orders.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of ba899's business, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy.

6.2 All third-party service providers who process data on our behalf are contractually required to handle that data securely, to use it only for the specified purpose, and to comply with applicable data protection obligations.

7 International Data Transfers

7.1 ba899 primarily processes data within the jurisdictions in which it operates. Where personal data is transferred to, or accessed from, a country outside Bangladesh, ba899 takes appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is lawful and that your data receives an equivalent level of protection.

7.2 Such steps may include entering into standard contractual clauses with the receiving party, verifying that the receiving country maintains an adequate level of data protection, or obtaining your explicit consent to the transfer where required.

7.3 If you wish to obtain further information about international transfers of your personal data, please contact us at [email protected].

8 Data Retention

8.1 ba899 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements.

8.2 As a general rule, ba899 retains account and transaction records for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure. This retention period reflects our AML and financial record-keeping obligations.

8.3 Gaming activity logs are retained for a minimum of three (3) years to enable the resolution of any disputes and to support responsible gaming monitoring.

8.4 Marketing preferences and consent records are retained for the duration of your account and for one (1) year following account closure or the withdrawal of consent, whichever is earlier.

8.5 When personal data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data destruction procedures.

9.2 Our security measures include, but are not limited to:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and ba899 servers.
• Encryption of sensitive data fields (including payment identifiers and password hashes) at rest.
• Access controls limiting data access to authorised ba899 personnel on a strictly need-to-know basis.
• Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments conducted by independent security professionals.
• Multi-factor authentication requirements for all internal ba899 systems that handle personal data.
• Continuous monitoring of Platform infrastructure for anomalous activity and potential security incidents.

9.3 Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your ba899 login credentials. If you suspect that your account has been compromised, please notify us immediately at [email protected].

10 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

10.1 ba899 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. We use the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the Platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in, security tokens, and cookies that remember your language and display preferences. These cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use ba899.
• Analytics cookies: Used to collect anonymised information about how players navigate the Platform — such as which pages are most visited and where users encounter errors. This helps us improve the overall experience. We use aggregated, non-personally identifiable data only.
• Functional cookies: Enable enhanced features such as remembering your preferred deposit method or your last active game category. These are optional but improve usability.
• Marketing cookies: Used only where you have provided consent, to tailor promotional content to your interests based on your activity on the Platform.

10.2 You may control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to log in and use key features of the ba899 Platform.

10.3 ba899 does not use cookies to track your activity on third-party websites unrelated to the Platform.
