Privacy Policy — bhal88

bhal88 ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every registered player and visitor on the bhal88 Platform. This Privacy Policy sets out in clear, plain English how we collect, store, use, share, and protect your personal information when you access or use bhal88.org and all related services.

This Policy applies to all users of the bhal88 Platform, including registered account holders, players who have completed KYC verification, and visitors who browse the site without registering. By continuing to use bhal88, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and that you consent to the data practices described herein.

If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, you should discontinue use of the bhal88 Platform immediately and contact us at [email protected] if you wish to request deletion of any previously collected data.

1 Information You Provide Directly

When you register a bhal88 account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact our support team, or otherwise interact with the Platform, you may provide us with the following categories of personal information:

2 Information Collected Automatically

When you access the bhal88 Platform, certain technical information is collected automatically by our servers and third-party analytics tools. This includes:

• IP address and approximate geographic location derived from your IP.
• Device type, operating system, and browser version used to access the Platform.
• Pages visited, time spent on each page, game sessions started, bets placed, and navigation paths through the site.
• Referral source — how you arrived at bhal88.org (e.g., direct URL, search engine, internal link).
• Cookie identifiers and session tokens used to maintain your logged-in session and remember your preferences.
• Date, time, and duration of each session on the Platform.

This automatically collected information does not on its own identify you as a named individual, but when combined with account data it may constitute personal information under applicable data protection principles.

3 Cookies and Similar Technologies

bhal88 uses cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us recognise returning visitors, maintain session security, and analyse Platform usage.

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for the Platform to function. These cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality such as login sessions and cashier operations.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how users interact with bhal88 so we can improve the experience. Data is aggregated and anonymised where possible.
• Preference cookies: Remember your settings and preferences across sessions, such as language or display choices.

You may control or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on the Platform. By continuing to use bhal88 with cookies enabled, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Policy.

4 Primary Purposes

bhal88 collects and processes your personal data only for clearly defined, legitimate purposes. The primary purposes for which we use your information are:

• To create, maintain, and manage your bhal88 account, including processing registration, verifying your identity through KYC, and maintaining accurate account records.
• To process deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay, and to maintain a complete record of all financial transactions associated with your account.
• To provide access to all betting and gaming services on the Platform, including cricket betting (BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup), live casino, slots, crash games, and card games.
• To communicate with you regarding your account, including responding to support queries, sending transaction confirmations, and notifying you of important account or policy changes.

5 Marketing Communications

With your explicit consent, bhal88 may contact you with promotional information about new games, seasonal offers (such as Eid or Pohela Boishakh promotions), bonus offers, and platform updates. You may withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time by contacting [email protected] with the subject line "Unsubscribe".

We will never send you unsolicited marketing messages via third-party channels. bhal88 communications will only ever originate from our official domain bhal88.org. If you receive a message purporting to be from bhal88 from any other source, please report it to [email protected] immediately.

6 Third-Party Service Providers

bhal88 works with a limited number of trusted third-party service providers to deliver the Platform. These providers may process your personal data on our behalf and are contractually required to handle it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection standards. Categories of third-party providers we engage include:

• Payment processors: bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay process payment transactions. Each provider operates under its own privacy policy and terms of service.
• Game content providers: Studios including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi may receive anonymised session data necessary to deliver their games. They do not receive your full account or identity data.
• KYC and identity verification services: Third-party identity verification partners may assist in processing identity documents submitted during KYC. These partners are bound by strict confidentiality obligations.
• Analytics and performance monitoring: Aggregated, anonymised usage data may be processed by analytics tools to help us understand how the Platform is used and where improvements can be made.
• Customer support platforms: Our support ticketing system may store communications between you and the bhal88 support team.

We do not permit any third-party provider to use your personal data for their own marketing or commercial purposes. All data-sharing arrangements are governed by data processing agreements.

7 Legal Disclosure Requirements

bhal88 may disclose your personal data where required to do so by law or in good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, to protect and defend the rights or property of bhal88, to prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Platform, or to protect the personal safety of users of the Platform.

8 How Long We Keep Your Data

bhal88 retains your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter, as required to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy or to comply with legal obligations. Specifically:

• Account and identity data is retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five years after account closure, in line with anti-money-laundering record-keeping requirements.
• Financial transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years from the date of the transaction.
• Support communications are retained for up to three years from the date of the interaction.
• Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form and may be kept indefinitely as it cannot be used to identify individual players.

When retention periods expire, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with an identified individual.

9 How We Protect Your Data

bhal88 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers.
• Secure, access-controlled server infrastructure with restricted administrative access.
• Regular security assessments and monitoring of our systems for vulnerabilities.
• Staff training on data protection obligations and security best practices.
• Two-factor authentication requirements for internal systems that hold personal data.

While we take all reasonable precautions to safeguard your data, no system connected to the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your bhal88 account credentials confidential. Please notify us immediately at [email protected] if you believe your account has been compromised.

10 Rights You Hold

As a user of the bhal88 Platform, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us in writing at [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request". We will acknowledge your request within five business days and aim to fulfil it within 30 calendar days.

• Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how it is used and with whom it is shared.
• Right to rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct or update it.
• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations.

• Right to data portability: You may request a structured, machine-readable copy of personal data you have provided to us.

11 Account Closure and Data Deletion

If you wish to close your bhal88 account, please contact [email protected]. Upon account closure, we will process any outstanding withdrawal requests, deactivate your login credentials, and begin the data retention review process. Where no legal obligation requires continued retention, your personal data will be scheduled for secure deletion in accordance with our retention schedule described above.

Please note that closing your account does not automatically delete all personal data immediately, as we are required to retain certain records for anti-fraud and legal compliance purposes. We will inform you of what data is retained and for how long at the time of your closure request.

12 Policy Updates

bhal88 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make material changes to this Policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Where changes are significant, we may also notify registered players by email or via an in-Platform notification.

Your continued use of the bhal88 Platform after any update to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed of how your data is being protected. If you have any questions about this Policy or how your data is handled, please contact us at [email protected].
