Privacy at a Glance

The following summary highlights the key points of this Privacy Policy. It is provided for convenience only and does not replace the full policy text below. Please read the complete sections for a full understanding of how ak55 handles your personal data.

1. Introduction

ak55 ("we", "us", "our", "the Platform") is committed to protecting the privacy of all players and users who access and use the ak55 online casino and sports betting platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share and protect your personal data in connection with your use of ak55 services, and outlines the rights you hold over the personal information we process on your behalf.

This Privacy Policy should be read together with the ak55 Terms & Conditions. By registering an account with ak55, accessing the platform or using any of our services, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and that you consent to your personal data being processed as described herein. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you should not use the ak55 platform.

2. Data Controller

ak55 is the data controller for all personal data collected through the ak55 platform. As data controller, ak55 determines the purposes for which your personal data is processed and the means by which that processing takes place. If you have any questions about how ak55 processes your personal data, or if you wish to exercise any of your data rights, you may contact us at any time using the details below.

3. Information We Collect

ak55 collects several categories of personal data in connection with your use of the platform. The specific data collected depends on how you interact with ak55 — for example, whether you are simply browsing the platform, registering an account, making a deposit or contacting customer support.

(a) Registration and Account Data

• Full name, date of birth and age verification information provided during account registration.
• Mobile phone number and email address used for account communication and verification.
• Residential address and proof of identity documents (e.g. national identity card, passport) provided during KYC verification.
• Username and password (stored in encrypted form only — ak55 staff cannot access your plaintext password).

(b) Transaction and Payment Data

• Details of deposits and withdrawals made via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay or other approved payment methods, including transaction amounts, timestamps and reference numbers.
• Mobile wallet numbers associated with transactions on your account (e.g. your registered bKash or Nagad number).
• Betting history, game session records, win and loss amounts and bonus transaction records.

(c) Technical and Usage Data

• Device information including device type, operating system version, browser type and mobile network operator.
• IP address and approximate geolocation data derived from your IP address or mobile network.
• Platform usage data including pages visited, games launched, session duration, clicks and navigation patterns — used to improve the platform and personalise your experience.

4. How We Use Your Information

ak55 uses your personal data only for legitimate, clearly defined purposes directly related to the provision of our services. The specific purposes for which we process your data include:

• Account creation, verification and management — to create and maintain your ak55 account, verify your identity and age, and manage account settings.
• Payment processing — to process deposits and withdrawals via your chosen payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay or other approved methods) and to maintain accurate transaction records.
• Customer support — to respond to queries, complaints and requests submitted via live chat or email, and to maintain a record of your support interactions for quality assurance.
• Fraud prevention and security — to monitor account activity for signs of fraud, money laundering, collusion or other prohibited conduct, and to protect the integrity of the ak55 platform and the security of all players.
• Responsible gaming compliance — to monitor for signs of problem gambling behaviour and to implement responsible gaming measures including deposit limits, session time reminders and self-exclusion tools in accordance with our responsible gaming obligations.
• Platform improvement and analytics — to analyse how players use the ak55 platform, identify areas for improvement, and optimise the user experience for players across Bangladesh.

ak55 does not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes described above. We do not use automated decision-making processes that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individual players without human review.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

ak55 processes your personal data only where a valid legal basis exists for doing so. The legal bases on which ak55 relies are:

• Contractual necessity — processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and ak55, including providing account services, processing payments and delivering games and betting markets.
• Legal obligation — processing is necessary to comply with legal requirements including anti-money laundering regulations, KYC obligations and responsible gaming requirements applicable to online gambling platforms.
• Legitimate interests — processing is necessary for ak55's legitimate business interests, including fraud prevention, platform security, analytics and service improvement, provided those interests are not overridden by your own rights and interests.
• Consent — where processing is based on your consent (for example, where you have agreed to receive promotional communications from ak55), you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting our support team.

6. Disclosure of Your Information

ak55 does not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with third parties only in the limited circumstances described below:

• Service providers — we share data with third-party service providers who assist in operating the ak55 platform, including payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket), technology infrastructure providers, KYC verification services and customer support tools. These providers are contractually bound to process your data only on our instructions and to maintain appropriate security measures.
• Regulatory and legal compliance — we may disclose your data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units or other government bodies where we are required to do so by applicable law or court order.
• Fraud and security — we may share data with fraud prevention agencies, credit reference agencies or other platforms where we have reasonable grounds to suspect fraud, money laundering or other criminal activity involving your account.
• Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of all or part of the ak55 business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

In all cases where ak55 shares your data with third parties, we require those parties to treat your data with the same level of protection that ak55 applies internally. ak55 does not permit third-party service providers to use your data for their own marketing or commercial purposes.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

ak55 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, maintain your logged-in session and analyse usage patterns. The following categories of cookies are used on the ak55 platform:

• Essential cookies — strictly necessary for the platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in while you navigate between pages, and security cookies that help protect your account from unauthorised access. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
• Functional cookies — used to remember your preferences such as language settings, display options and last visited game categories, so that your experience is consistent between sessions.
• Analytics cookies — used to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players navigate and interact with the ak55 platform. This data helps us understand which features are most popular, identify technical issues and improve the overall user experience.

Most mobile browsers allow you to manage cookie settings through the browser's privacy or settings menu. Disabling essential cookies may prevent certain features of the ak55 platform from working correctly. For more information about managing cookies on your mobile device, consult your device's browser documentation.

8. Data Retention

ak55 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. In general, ak55 retains account data, transaction records and KYC documentation for a minimum period of five years following account closure, in compliance with anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements. Shorter retention periods may apply to technical logs and analytics data, which are typically retained for no longer than 24 months.

When personal data is no longer required for any legitimate purpose and no legal retention obligation applies, ak55 will securely delete or anonymise the data. If you request deletion of your account, ak55 will delete your personal data within a reasonable timeframe, subject to any legal or regulatory retention requirements that may apply.

9. Data Security

ak55 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or disclosure. These measures include 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmissions between your device and the ak55 platform, encrypted storage of passwords and sensitive account data, access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel only, and regular security reviews of our systems and processes.

Despite these measures, no data transmission over the internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. ak55 cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal data. In the event of a data security incident that poses a risk to your rights and interests, ak55 will notify affected players within a reasonable timeframe and take all reasonable steps to mitigate the impact.
