You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.

5. How We Share Your Information

bj888 does not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your data with the following categories of recipients for legitimate business purposes:

• Service Providers: We work with third-party companies that help us operate our platform, including payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, banks), game providers (Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming), hosting and cloud storage providers, customer support platforms, and marketing service providers.

6. International Data Transfers

bj888 operates across multiple jurisdictions, and your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of Bangladesh. Some of these countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country of residence. When we transfer data internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards to protect your information, including standard contractual clauses approved by data protection authorities, adequacy decisions recognizing equivalent protection standards, and binding corporate rules. We ensure that all international transfers comply with applicable data protection regulations and that your data receives a level of protection consistent with this Privacy Policy, regardless of where it is processed.

7. Data Security

We take the security of your personal information extremely seriously and have implemented robust technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. Our security measures include SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers, secure socket layer (SSL) certificates to verify our platform's authenticity, firewalls and intrusion detection systems to prevent cyberattacks, regular security audits and vulnerability assessments, access controls that limit employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, encrypted storage for sensitive information such as passwords and payment details, and secure backup systems to prevent data loss.

While we implement industry-leading security measures, no system is completely immune to security breaches. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk. If we become aware of a data breach that compromises your personal information, we will notify you and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable legal requirements. We encourage you to protect your own security by using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, never sharing your login credentials, and logging out of your account when using shared or public devices.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Specific retention periods depend on the type of data and the purposes for which it is used. Account information is retained for the duration of your active account and for a period after account closure to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and prevent fraud. Transaction records, including deposits, withdrawals, bets, and winnings, are retained for at least seven years to comply with financial regulations and tax laws. Identity verification documents are retained for the period required by anti-money laundering regulations and may be deleted upon request after regulatory obligations are met. Marketing communications data is retained until you opt out or withdraw consent, after which we will cease processing your data for marketing purposes. Technical logs and website usage data are typically retained for up to two years for security, analytics, and service improvement purposes.

When personal information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our data retention schedule and applicable legal requirements. Anonymized data that cannot be linked back to you may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis and research purposes.
