bd9k Privacy Policy — How We Protect Your Personal Data
At bd9k, your privacy is a core obligation, not an afterthought. This Privacy Policy explains precisely what personal data we collect from players in Bangladesh, why we collect it, how it is stored and protected, who it may be shared with, and what rights you have over it. We are committed to transparency at every step.
Six Privacy Principles We Live By
These principles summarise how bd9k approaches data protection. They do not replace the full legal text below — please read the complete Privacy Policy for detailed information.
We Never Sell Your Data
bd9k does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party advertisers or data brokers under any circumstances. Your data is used solely to operate and improve your bd9k experience.
Industry-Standard Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and bd9k servers is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. Sensitive data at rest — including payment details and identity documents — is stored using AES-256 encryption protocols.
You Control Your Data
Registered bd9k players may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal data at any time by contacting our support team. We will process all data rights requests within 30 days of receipt.
Minimum Necessary Collection
We collect only the personal data that is genuinely necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not collect excessive data, and we review our data collection practices regularly to ensure proportionality.
Defined Retention Periods
bd9k retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal obligations. Data that is no longer needed is securely deleted or anonymised.
Transparent Policy Updates
When this Privacy Policy is updated in a material way, bd9k will notify all registered players via their account email address before the changes take effect, giving you time to review the updated terms.
Who We Are
This Privacy Policy is issued by bd9k ("bd9k", "we", "us", "our"), the operator of the online betting and casino platform available at bd9k.io. bd9k operates as an offshore platform serving players in Bangladesh and other jurisdictions where its services are accessible.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, bd9k acts as the data controller in respect of personal data collected from players, website visitors, and prospective registrants who interact with the bd9k platform. As data controller, bd9k determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data and bears responsibility for ensuring that such processing is carried out lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
Scope: This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through the bd9k website, mobile web application, customer support channels, and any other touchpoint operated under the bd9k brand. It does not apply to third-party websites or services that may be linked to from bd9k — those are governed by their own privacy policies.
By creating a bd9k account, accessing the platform, or otherwise providing your personal information to bd9k, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree with this policy, you should not register for or use the bd9k platform.
Personal Data We Collect
bd9k collects personal data across several categories. The specific data collected depends on the nature of your interaction with the platform. The following table provides an overview of the categories of personal data we process:
| Category | Examples of Data Collected | When Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, nationality, gender | Registration & KYC verification |
| Contact Data | Email address, mobile phone number, city of residence (e.g., Dhaka, Chittagong) | Registration & account updates |
| Verification Data | Government-issued ID, passport scan, utility bill, selfie photograph | KYC / identity verification process |
| Financial Data | bKash / Nagad / Rocket / Upay account references, transaction history, deposit & withdrawal records | Payment processing |
| Technical Data | IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, session duration | Automatic collection on site access |
| Usage Data | Pages visited, games played, bets placed, bonus usage, login timestamps | Ongoing platform usage |
| Communications Data | Support chat transcripts, email correspondence, complaint records | Customer support interactions |
| Marketing Preferences | Email opt-in/opt-out status, preferred sports, game category interests | Account preferences & subscription management |
We do not collect special category data (such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or health data) unless this is strictly required for responsible gaming purposes (for example, processing a self-exclusion request that references a gambling-related health concern). Any such data is handled with the highest level of security and discretion.
How We Collect Your Data
bd9k collects personal data through the following primary mechanisms:
- Direct submission: Data you provide when registering an account, completing identity verification, making a deposit or withdrawal, contacting support, or updating your account profile.
- Automated collection: Technical and usage data collected automatically when you visit bd9k.io, including through cookies, web beacons, and server logs. See Section 7 for full details on our cookie practices.
- Third-party sources: Identity and fraud-check data received from KYC verification providers, payment processors (such as bKash and Nagad), and anti-money-laundering screening services.

Data Security
bd9k takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

We maintain a documented incident response procedure for this purpose.
While bd9k implements robust security measures, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security. You play an important role in keeping your account secure — please use a strong, unique password for your bd9k account and never share your login credentials with anyone.
Data Retention
bd9k retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations. The following general retention periods apply:
- Active account data: Retained for the duration of your account relationship with bd9k, plus a period of five (5) years following account closure to satisfy financial record-keeping and AML obligations.

- Technical and usage data: Anonymised or deleted within thirteen (13) months of collection.
When retention periods expire, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised so that it can no longer be attributed to an identifiable individual. bd9k conducts regular reviews of stored data to ensure that outdated records are disposed of in accordance with this policy.

Right to Rectification
Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. Some corrections may require identity re-verification.
Right to Erasure
Request deletion of your personal data where there is no legitimate legal basis for us to continue holding it. Note that legal retention obligations may limit this right.
Right to Restriction
Request that we restrict the processing of your data while a dispute about its accuracy or our legal basis for processing it is being resolved.

Request a structured, machine-readable copy of personal data you have provided to bd9k, where processing is based on consent or contract.
Right to Object
Object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, including profiling for marketing purposes. We will cease such processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.

In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further two months, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason for it. We reserve the right to verify your identity before processing any data rights request.
Children's Privacy
The bd9k platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. bd9k does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If you are under 21, you must not register for or use the bd9k platform, and you must not provide any personal data to bd9k.
If bd9k becomes aware that it has inadvertently collected personal data from a person under the age of 21, we will take immediate steps to delete that data, close the associated account, and return any deposited funds in accordance with our responsible gaming obligations. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has registered with bd9k, please contact [email protected] immediately.
Third-Party Links
The bd9k platform may contain references to third-party game providers, payment processors, and other service partners. bd9k is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party service, and this Privacy Policy does not extend to data collected by third parties in connection with your use of their own platforms or services.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with in connection with your bd9k account, particularly those of payment providers such as bKash and Nagad, and game providers such as Pragmatic Play and Evolution Gaming, as their data handling practices are governed by their own policies.

The updated policy will also be published on bd9k.io/privacy-policy with the revised effective date clearly stated at the top of the document.
Your continued use of the bd9k platform after the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with the updated policy, you must discontinue use of the platform and may request account closure by contacting support.
We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed of how bd9k handles your personal data. The version number and last-updated date at the top of this document indicate the currency of the policy you are reading.
