bk4 Privacy Policy — How We Handle Your Personal Data
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains exactly what data bk4 collects, why we collect it, and how we keep it secure for all players in Bangladesh.
Introduction
bk4 ("we", "us", "the Platform") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player who uses our online gaming services. This Privacy Policy describes the categories of personal data we collect about you when you register, deposit, play, or otherwise interact with bk4, the purposes for which we process that data, the legal basis for doing so, the third parties with whom we may share it, and the rights you have in relation to your personal data.
This Privacy Policy applies to all users of bk4, including players accessing the platform from Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, and all other locations within Bangladesh. By creating an account or using any bk4 service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein.
🔏 bk4 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. Your data is used only as described in this policy.
Our Privacy Commitments at a Glance
1. What Personal Data We Collect
bk4 collects personal data in three main categories: data you provide directly to us, data generated automatically by your use of the platform, and data received from third-party payment processors. We do not collect more data than is necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
Data You Provide Directly
When you register an account, complete KYC verification, contact support, or interact with forms or surveys on bk4, you may provide:
- Identity data: full name, date of birth, national ID number, or passport number provided for age and identity verification.
- Contact data: registered mobile number and email address used for account creation and communications.
- Financial identity data: the mobile wallet number (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) or bank account details you register as your payment method.
- Support communications: the content of any message, complaint, or feedback you submit to bk4 support via live chat or email.
Data Generated by Your Use of the Platform
When you access and use bk4, our systems automatically record certain technical and behavioural data, including:
- Device and access data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, and mobile network operator at the time of each session.
- Session and gameplay data: games played, bet amounts, win/loss history, session duration, and responsible gaming tool usage (deposit limits set, self-exclusion requests).
- Transaction data: deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, payment methods used, transaction timestamps, and any failed transaction events.
Data Received from Third Parties
bk4 may receive limited data from payment processors and fraud prevention services in the course of processing your transactions, including:
- Transaction confirmation data from bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay confirming the execution and status of deposit and withdrawal transactions.
- Fraud signal data from fraud prevention partners indicating whether a transaction or account activity pattern is consistent with known fraudulent behaviour.
- Identity verification responses from KYC service providers confirming the result of age and identity document checks submitted during account verification.
2. How We Use Your Personal Data
bk4 uses the personal data we collect for the following purposes:
- Account management: to create, maintain, and administer your bk4 player account, including processing your registration, verifying your identity, and managing your account settings.
- Payment processing: to process deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank transfer; to verify that funds originate from payment methods registered in your name; and to maintain a complete transaction history for your account.
- Legal compliance: to comply with age verification requirements, anti-money laundering (AML) obligations, Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations, and any other applicable legal requirements.
- Fraud prevention and security: to detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions, account takeover attempts, bonus abuse, and other prohibited conduct that would harm bk4 or its player community.
- Responsible gaming: to monitor account activity for indicators of problem gambling and to enforce responsible gaming tools such as deposit limits and self-exclusion requests where activated by you or mandated by our responsible gaming policy.
- Service communications: to send you important account notifications, security alerts, transaction confirmations, and updates to these policies. We do not send unsolicited promotional emails without your consent.
bk4 does not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects without human review. Where automated systems flag an account for review (for example, fraud detection), a human member of the bk4 compliance team reviews the flag before any account action is taken.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
bk4 processes your personal data on the following legal bases, depending on the purpose of processing:
| Processing Purpose | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Account registration and management | Performance of contract (you agreed to our Terms) |
| Age and identity verification (KYC) | Legal obligation (AML and age-restriction compliance) |
| Fraud detection and security monitoring | Legitimate interests (protecting the platform and players) |
| Promotional communications (where opted in) | Consent (you opted in at registration or in account settings) |
4. Sharing Your Personal Data
bk4 does not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own commercial purposes. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Payment processors: we share the minimum necessary payment data with bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank partners solely to execute deposit and withdrawal transactions on your behalf.
- Game providers: we share a pseudonymous player identifier (not your name or mobile number) with game providers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and Ezugi solely to facilitate access to their games and to record your gameplay for the game provider's own RNG audit trail.
- Fraud prevention and compliance services: we share data with identity verification and fraud detection providers for the purpose of KYC compliance and fraud prevention only. These providers process data strictly under contract with bk4 and may not use it for any other purpose.
- Legal authorities: where required by applicable law, court order, or legitimate government request, bk4 may disclose personal data to relevant law enforcement or regulatory authorities. We will notify you of such disclosure where legally permitted to do so.
Any third party that receives personal data from bk4 is required to process that data strictly in accordance with bk4's instructions and applicable data protection law. bk4 does not permit third-party recipients to use your data for their own independent purposes.
5. Payment Data and Financial Privacy
bk4 processes payment data in connection with your deposits and withdrawals. We do not store your full bKash PIN, Nagad PIN, bank card number, or internet banking credentials on our servers. Payment authentication is handled directly by the payment provider's secure gateway. bk4 retains only the transaction reference number, amount, timestamp, and payment method type required to maintain your account transaction history and to process any queries or disputes.
All withdrawals from bk4 are returned to the same payment method used for the original deposit, and to an account confirmed as belonging to the registered player. This policy protects players against unauthorised fund diversions and ensures that bk4 cannot be used as a vehicle for financial crime.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
bk4 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your session, and improve platform performance. We use three categories of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for the platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in during a gaming session. You cannot opt out of these cookies while using the platform.
- Functional cookies: remember your preferences such as language settings and responsible gaming limits you have configured. These cookies improve your experience but are not essential to platform operation.
- Analytics cookies: collect anonymised data about how players navigate and use the platform, helping us identify areas for improvement. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
You can manage cookie preferences through your device browser settings. Disabling functional or analytics cookies will not prevent you from using bk4 but may affect certain platform features. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled via browser settings while you are actively using the platform.
7. Data Retention
bk4 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any longer retention period required by applicable law. In practice, this means: account data is retained for the lifetime of your account and for a period of five years after account closure; transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years from the date of the transaction to meet AML record-keeping requirements; and support communications are retained for two years from the date of the last interaction.
When personal data is no longer required and no legal obligation to retain it exists, bk4 will securely delete or anonymise that data so that it can no longer be attributed to you as an identifiable individual. Anonymised or aggregated data that cannot be linked back to you may be retained indefinitely for statistical and platform improvement purposes.
8. Your Data Rights
As a bk4 player, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact bk4 support at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request" and your registered mobile number:
- Right of access: you may request a copy of all personal data bk4 holds about you. We will provide this within 30 days of a verified request.
- Right to rectification: if any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct it. Identity data corrections will require supporting documentation.
- Right to erasure: you may request deletion of your personal data. We will fulfil erasure requests subject to our legal obligations to retain certain data (for example, transaction records required for AML compliance cannot be deleted before the mandatory retention period expires).
- Right to restriction: you may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data while a rectification or erasure request is under review, or where you contest the accuracy of data we hold.
- Right to withdraw consent: where processing is based on your consent (for example, promotional communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time by updating your account notification preferences or contacting support. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
bk4 will respond to all data rights requests within 30 days. Where a request is complex or we receive a high volume of requests, we may extend this period by a further 30 days and will notify you accordingly. There is no charge for exercising your data rights.
9. Data Security
bk4 implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the bk4 platform; encrypted storage of sensitive personal data at rest; access controls restricting access to personal data to authorised personnel only; and regular security audits of our platform infrastructure.
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights or interests, bk4 will notify affected players without undue delay and will take immediate steps to contain the breach and minimise its impact. If you believe your bk4 account has been compromised, contact [email protected] immediately.
10. Children and Minors
bk4 does not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 21. Our platform is strictly restricted to adults aged 21 and above. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, we will delete that data immediately and close the associated account. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a person under 21 in your care has registered with bk4, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can take prompt action.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
bk4 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or platform functionality. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players via on-platform notification or by SMS to your registered mobile number at least 7 days before the revised policy takes effect. The revised policy will be published on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
Your continued use of bk4 after the effective date of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you must stop using the platform and may request account closure by contacting bk4 support.
