2. Data We Collect

ba998 collects only the personal data that is necessary to provide our services, verify your identity, process transactions, and comply with applicable legal requirements. The categories of personal data we collect are set out below.

3. How We Collect Your Data

ba998 collects your personal data through several channels, depending on how you interact with the platform:

3.1 Directly From You

Most of the personal data ba998 holds about you comes directly from you. This includes the information you provide when you register your ba998 account, complete identity verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact our support team, or respond to a promotion or survey.

3.2 Automatically

When you use the ba998 platform, certain technical data is collected automatically. This includes your IP address, the type of device and browser you are using, the pages you visit on ba998, and the duration of your sessions. This data is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies, which are described in more detail in Section 9.

3.3 From Third Parties

In some cases, ba998 may receive personal data about you from third parties. For example, our payment processing partners may share transaction confirmation data with us, and identity verification service providers may share the results of verification checks. ba998 only receives data from third parties where it is necessary and lawful to do so.

4. How We Use Your Data

ba998 uses your personal data for the following purposes:

• Account management: To create and manage your ba998 account, verify your identity, and keep your account details up to date.
• Payment processing: To process deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, and Rocket, and to maintain accurate financial records.
• Platform security: To detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, underage gambling, and other prohibited activities on the ba998 platform.
• Customer support: To respond to your queries, resolve disputes, and provide assistance when you contact the ba998 support team.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

ba998 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the specific purpose:

• Contract performance: Processing that is necessary to provide the ba998 services you have signed up for, including account management and payment processing.
• Legal obligation: Processing that is required to comply with applicable laws, such as anti-money laundering regulations and age verification requirements.
• Legitimate interests: Processing that is necessary for ba998's legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention, platform security, and improving our services, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Consent: Processing that is based on your explicit consent, such as sending you marketing communications. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

6. Sharing Your Data

ba998 does not sell your personal data to third parties. However, we do share your data with certain trusted third parties where it is necessary to provide our services or to comply with legal requirements. These include:

6.1 Payment Service Providers

ba998 shares the financial data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals with our payment partners, including bKash, Nagad, and Rocket. These providers process your data only as necessary to complete your transactions and are bound by their own privacy policies and applicable data protection laws.

6.2 Identity Verification Providers

When ba998 requires you to verify your identity, we may share your identity documents and personal details with third-party verification service providers. These providers process your data solely for the purpose of completing the verification check on ba998's behalf.

6.3 Legal and Regulatory Authorities

ba998 may be required to disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or other government authorities where we are legally obligated to do so. ba998 will only make such disclosures where required by law and will not disclose more data than is necessary.

6.4 IT and Platform Service Providers

ba998 uses third-party service providers to support the operation of our platform, including hosting, analytics, and customer support tools. These providers access your data only to the extent necessary to perform their services for ba998 and are contractually required to keep your data secure and confidential.

7. Data Retention

ba998 retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The specific retention periods we apply are as follows:

• Account data: Retained for the duration of your ba998 account and for a minimum of five years after account closure, in line with anti-money laundering regulations.
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of the transaction.
• Identity verification documents: Retained for the duration of your account and for five years after closure.
• Support communications: Retained for three years from the date of the last communication.
• Technical and usage data: Retained for up to two years from the date of collection.

When your personal data is no longer required, ba998 will securely delete or anonymise it. If deletion is not immediately possible due to technical constraints, ba998 will isolate the data from further processing until deletion can be completed.

8. Data Security

ba998 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We have implemented a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the ba998 platform.
• Encryption of sensitive data stored on ba998 servers, including financial data and identity documents.
• Access controls that restrict access to personal data to ba998 staff and service providers who genuinely need it to perform their roles.
• Regular security assessments and penetration testing of the ba998 platform.
• Incident response procedures to detect, investigate, and respond to data security incidents promptly.

While ba998 takes every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You also have a role to play in keeping your data safe — please keep your ba998 login credentials secure and do not share them with anyone.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

ba998 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, improve your experience, and analyse how players use ba998. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device when you visit a website.

• Preference cookies: These remember your settings and preferences on ba998, such as your language preference, so you do not have to set them again each time you visit.
• Security cookies: These help ba998 detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect the security of your account.

9.2 Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a new cookie is set. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the ba998 platform — in particular, disabling essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using certain features.
