1. Information We Collect
ak44 collects personal data that is necessary to provide the Platform's services, verify your identity, process transactions, and comply with applicable regulatory requirements. The categories of personal data we collect include the following.
Identity and Contact Data
When you register an account, we collect your full name, date of birth, Bangladeshi mobile number, and any other identifying information you provide during registration or account verification (KYC). This data is used to confirm your identity, verify your eligibility (including the 21+ age requirement), and administer your account.
Financial and Transaction Data
We collect records of your deposits, withdrawals, and bet transactions on ak44. We also record the payment methods used (e.g., bKash account number, Nagad account number, bank account details) to process transactions and comply with anti-money-laundering (AML) obligations. We do not store full card numbers or full bKash PINs — payment method data is limited to the reference information required for transaction processing and record-keeping.
Device and Technical Data
When you access ak44, we automatically collect certain technical data including your IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, and the pages you visit on the Platform. This data is used for security monitoring, fraud detection, service optimisation, and to ensure the Platform functions correctly on your device.
Usage and Behavioural Data
We collect data about how you use the Platform, including the games you play, the bets you place, session durations, and in-platform navigation patterns. This data helps us personalise your experience, improve the Platform, identify problem gambling patterns for responsible gaming purposes, and detect unusual activity that may indicate fraud or account compromise.
2. How We Use Your Information
ak44 uses your personal data only for the purposes for which it was collected and for compatible purposes permitted under applicable data protection principles. The primary purposes for which we use your personal data are set out below.
- Account AdministrationTo create and manage your ak44 account, verify your identity, process your registration, and communicate with you about your account.
- Transaction ProcessingTo process your deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank transfer, and to maintain accurate financial records of all transactions.
- Fraud Prevention and SecurityTo monitor for and detect fraudulent activity, account compromise, money laundering, and other security threats; and to enforce our Terms & Conditions and responsible gaming policies.
- Regulatory ComplianceTo meet our AML, KYC, and other applicable regulatory obligations, including record-keeping requirements and reporting obligations to relevant authorities where required by law.
- Service ImprovementTo analyse usage patterns, identify technical issues, optimise platform performance, and develop new features and products that better serve Bangladesh players.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
ak44 processes your personal data on the following legal bases: (a) Contract performance — processing necessary to provide the services you have requested, including account management, transaction processing, and game access; (b) Legal obligation — processing required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and regulatory directions, including AML and KYC requirements; (c) Legitimate interests — processing for fraud prevention, security monitoring, platform improvement, and responsible gaming purposes, where those interests are not overridden by your rights; and (d) Consent — where you have provided explicit consent for a specific processing activity, such as receiving promotional communications.
Where ak44 relies on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. To withdraw consent for any processing activity, please contact our support team via live chat or by email at [email protected].
4. Sharing of Your Information
ak44 does not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your personal data with the following categories of third parties only where it is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Payment Processors
We share transaction data with payment service providers (including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank partners) as necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers receive only the data required to execute and verify the transaction and are bound by their own privacy and data protection obligations.
Game Technology Providers
To deliver games on the Platform, we share necessary session and account reference data with our licensed game providers (including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Ezugi, and Spribe). These providers receive only the minimum data required to deliver and settle the games you play and are contractually bound to use it solely for that purpose.
Legal and Regulatory Authorities
We may disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or other governmental authorities where we are required to do so by applicable law, court order, or binding regulatory direction. We may also disclose data to relevant authorities where we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to prevent or investigate suspected criminal activity, including financial fraud or money laundering.
5. Data Retention
ak44 retains your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. For most categories of personal data, the standard retention period following account closure is five (5) years, in order to satisfy financial record-keeping requirements and AML regulatory retention mandates applicable to online gaming and payment processing businesses in our operating jurisdiction.
Where personal data is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, and where no legal retention obligation requires us to keep it, we will delete or anonymise it securely. Anonymised and aggregated data (which cannot be used to identify you) may be retained indefinitely for statistical and platform improvement purposes.
6. Data Security
ak44 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement technical and organisational measures designed to protect your data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. While no system is completely impenetrable, we maintain industry-standard safeguards and review our security practices regularly.
Encryption in Transit and at Rest
All data transmitted between your browser and ak44's servers is encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols. Sensitive data held in our databases — including payment references and identity information — is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption algorithms. Your login credentials are stored using one-way hashing; ak44 staff cannot view your password in plain text.
Access Controls and Monitoring
Access to personal data within ak44's systems is restricted on a need-to-know basis. Staff who have access to personal data are subject to confidentiality obligations. We maintain audit logs of access to sensitive data and conduct regular reviews of access permissions. Suspicious access events trigger automated alerts for our security team.
7. Your Data Rights
Depending on applicable law and the circumstances of your request, you may have the following rights in relation to the personal data ak44 holds about you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team via live chat on the Platform or by email at [email protected].
- Right of AccessYou have the right to request a copy of the personal data ak44 holds about you. We will respond to valid access requests within a reasonable timeframe and provide the data in a clear and accessible format.
- Right to RectificationIf any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or complete it. You can update most account information directly through your account settings, or by contacting support.
- Right to ErasureIn certain circumstances, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data. This right is subject to our legal and regulatory data retention obligations. Where we are required by law to retain certain data (e.g., for AML record-keeping), we may be unable to fulfil an erasure request in full, but we will delete any data we are not obligated to retain.
- Right to Data PortabilityWhere technically feasible and where the processing is based on consent or contract performance, you may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Right to ObjectYou may object to processing of your personal data where ak44 relies on legitimate interests as the legal basis. We will assess your objection and cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your rights, or the processing is required for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
To exercise any of the above rights, contact our support team via live chat on the Platform or by email at [email protected]. We will respond to all data rights requests within a reasonable period and at no charge. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
ak44 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We use the following types of cookies: (a) Essential cookies — required for the Platform to function correctly, including session management, login state, and security tokens. These cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use the Platform. (b) Analytical cookies — used to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how users interact with the Platform, which we use to identify performance issues and improve user experience. (c) Preference cookies — used to remember your settings and preferences, such as language selection.
You can control cookie settings through your browser. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using certain features of the Platform. ak44 does not use cookies to track you across third-party websites or for targeted advertising purposes.
9. Third-Party Services
The ak44 Platform integrates third-party services necessary to deliver games, process payments, and monitor security. These third-party providers operate under their own privacy policies and data protection terms. ak44 selects third-party partners carefully and requires contractual commitments to handle your data securely and only for the purposes specified. ak44 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party providers beyond the contractual obligations we impose on them. We do not embed third-party social media plugins, advertising networks, or tracking pixels that would share your data with social networks or advertising platforms without your knowledge.
10. Protection of Minors
ak44 is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered an account on ak44 or has provided personal data to us, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. Upon verification, we will close the minor's account, delete the associated personal data, and refund any deposited funds to the payment method from which they were sent, subject to our standard verification procedures.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
ak44 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Where a material change is made to the way we process your personal data, we will endeavour to notify you via the mobile number or contact details associated with your account prior to the change taking effect. The most current version of this Privacy Policy will always be available at ak44.vin/privacy-policy. Your continued use of the Platform following any update to this Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
