bhia88 Privacy Policy — Your Data, Protected
At bhia88, your privacy is treated as a core responsibility, not a compliance checkbox. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have over your information as a player on our platform.
Six Core Privacy Commitments We Make to You
These cards summarise our most important privacy commitments in plain English. The full binding text follows in each section below.
All data transmitted between your device and bhia88 is protected by industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption. Your personal details, payment information, and account credentials are never sent in plain text over the network.
bhia88 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. Your information is shared only as described in this policy — with service providers who help us operate the platform on your behalf.
We collect only the personal data that is genuinely necessary to operate your account, process transactions, comply with legal obligations, and keep the platform secure. We do not collect data speculatively or for undefined future purposes.
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data at any time. You may also object to certain types of processing or request a copy of your data in a portable format by contacting our support team.
You can opt out of all marketing communications — including promotional emails, SMS messages, and push notifications — at any time through your account settings or by contacting support. Opting out will not affect your ability to use the platform.
Identity documents you submit for KYC verification (National ID, passport, bKash/Nagad wallet confirmation) are stored securely, accessed only by authorised verification staff, and retained only for as long as required by applicable legal obligations.
Data We Collect
When you interact with bhia88 — whether by browsing the website, registering an account, making a deposit, or contacting support — we collect certain categories of personal data. The specific data we collect depends on how you use the platform. Below we set out each category clearly.
1.1 Account Registration Data
When you create a bhia88 account, we collect the information you provide directly in the registration form. This typically includes:
- Full name
- Email address
- Date of birth (to verify you are 18 or older)
- Username and password (password is stored in hashed form — we never store plain-text passwords)
- Country of residence
- Mobile phone number (where provided for 2FA or account recovery)
1.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data
In order to comply with anti-money-laundering obligations and to confirm your age and identity, we may request and collect:
- Government-issued photo ID (National Identity Card, passport, or driving licence)
- Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, or equivalent document dated within 3 months)
- Confirmation that the bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay mobile wallet used for transactions is registered in your name
- A selfie or live photograph in some verification scenarios
1.3 Financial and Transaction Data
When you deposit funds or request a withdrawal, we collect transaction records including the payment method used, the transaction amount in BDT (৳), timestamps, and transaction reference numbers provided by your payment provider (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, or Mastercard). We do not store full card numbers; card transactions are processed via PCI-DSS-compliant third-party payment gateways that handle sensitive card data on our behalf.
1.4 Usage and Technical Data
As you browse and use the platform, our servers and analytics tools automatically collect certain technical data, including:
- IP address and approximate geographic location (city/region level)
- Device type, operating system, and browser version
- Pages visited, features used, and time spent on the platform
- Game session data (game titles played, wager amounts, session duration)
- Referral URL (the website or link that directed you to bhia88, if any)
1.5 Communications Data
If you contact bhia88 support via live chat, email, or any other channel, we retain a record of that communication — including the content of your messages, the time and date of contact, and any attachments submitted. This is used to resolve your query, maintain quality records, and train our support team.
How We Use Your Data
bhia88 uses your personal data only for the purposes described in this policy. We process data on one or more of the following legal bases: performance of the contract between you and bhia88 (providing the service you signed up for); compliance with legal obligations; legitimate business interests (where balanced against your rights); and, where required, your explicit consent.
| Purpose | Data Used | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account creation and management | Registration data, contact details | Contract performance |
| Age and identity verification (KYC) | ID documents, selfie, wallet confirmation | Legal obligation |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals | Transaction data, payment method details | Contract performance |
| Fraud prevention and security | IP address, device data, transaction patterns | Legitimate interest / legal obligation |
| Responsible gaming monitoring | Game session data, deposit frequency | Legitimate interest / legal obligation |
| Customer support | Communications data, account data | Contract performance |
| Marketing communications | Email address, phone number, preferences | Consent (opt-in) |
| Platform analytics and improvement | Usage data, technical data | Legitimate interest |
2.1 Marketing Communications
If you have consented to receive marketing from bhia88, we may send you promotional emails, SMS messages, or platform notifications about bonuses, new games, cricket betting markets, and seasonal promotions (for example, during BPL season, Eid, or Pohela Boishakh). You can withdraw your marketing consent at any time through your account preferences or by contacting support — withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you opted out.
2.2 Automated Decision-Making
bhia88 uses automated systems to detect unusual account activity that may indicate fraud, bonus abuse, or money laundering. Where an automated flag results in an account restriction, you have the right to request a human review of that decision by contacting support at [email protected].
Data Sharing & Disclosure
bhia88 does not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We share your data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.
3.1 Service Providers
We engage trusted third-party service providers to support the operation of the platform. These include payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard), identity verification providers, game software suppliers (Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe, Ezugi, Microgaming, NetEnt), customer support platforms, cloud hosting providers, and analytics services. Each provider is bound by data processing agreements that restrict their use of your data to the services they provide for us.
3.2 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure
We may disclose your personal data to government authorities, law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, or regulatory bodies where we are legally required to do so — for example, in response to a court order, a lawful request related to anti-money-laundering investigations, or an inquiry into underage gambling. In such cases we will disclose only the minimum data necessary to fulfil the legal obligation.
3.3 Business Transfers
In the event that bhia88 undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of its assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer and any material changes to how your data is handled as a result.
3.4 International Transfers
bhia88 operates as an offshore platform. Your data may be stored on or processed by servers located outside Bangladesh. Where data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual protections with the relevant service providers.
Data Security
bhia88 takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements a range of technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, or destruction.
5.1 Technical Safeguards
- SSL/TLS encryption on all data in transit between your device and our servers
- AES-256 encryption for sensitive data fields stored in our databases
- Bcrypt hashing for all account passwords — plain-text passwords are never stored
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for all accounts and mandatory for withdrawal requests above a threshold amount
- Firewall and intrusion detection systems monitoring for suspicious access patterns 24/7
- Regular security audits and penetration testing by independent third parties
5.2 Organisational Safeguards
Access to personal data within bhia88 is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff with access to player data receive data protection training, and access rights are reviewed regularly. KYC documents are accessible only to authorised verification personnel and are handled under strict confidentiality protocols.
5.3 Data Breach Response
In the event of a confirmed personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights, bhia88 will notify affected users without undue delay and will take immediate remediation steps including password resets, session invalidation, and enhanced monitoring. We maintain an incident response plan that is tested and updated regularly.
Data Retention
bhia88 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following table outlines our standard retention periods by data category.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Legal / regulatory obligation |
| KYC identity documents | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Anti-money-laundering compliance |
| Financial transaction records | 7 years from transaction date | Financial record-keeping requirements |
| Game session logs | 3 years from session date | Dispute resolution / audit trail |
| Support communications | 3 years from last interaction | Quality assurance / dispute resolution |
| Marketing preferences | Until opt-out + 1 year | Consent records |
| Analytics / usage data | 24 months (aggregated/anonymised thereafter) | Platform improvement |
When your personal data is no longer required, we delete or anonymise it securely. Where anonymisation is applied, the resulting data can no longer be linked back to you and is no longer considered personal data under applicable privacy frameworks.
Your Privacy Rights
As a bhia88 player, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. We are committed to honouring these rights promptly and transparently. To exercise any of the rights described below, contact us at [email protected] or via the 24/7 live chat, and identify yourself with sufficient detail for us to locate your account.
7.1 Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data bhia88 holds about you. We will provide this within a reasonable timeframe (typically within 30 days of a verified request) in a clear, readable format.
7.2 Right to Rectification
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or update it. You can update basic account details (such as email address and phone number) directly through your account dashboard. For KYC data corrections, please contact support with the corrected documentation.
7.3 Right to Erasure
You may request that bhia88 delete your personal data. We will honour this request where the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, where you have withdrawn consent and no other legal basis applies, or where the data has been processed unlawfully. Note that we may be required to retain certain data (such as transaction records and KYC documents) for a mandatory period under legal obligations — in such cases we will explain what we can and cannot delete.
7.4 Right to Object and Restrict Processing
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling for marketing purposes. You also have the right to request that we restrict processing of your data while a dispute about its accuracy or lawfulness is being resolved.
7.5 Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on your consent or on contract performance, and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format so that you can transfer it to another service provider.
