888bat Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to all personal data collected and processed by 888bat ("we", "us", "our") in connection with the operation of the online betting and casino platform accessible at https://888bat.app. It governs the information we collect from players, visitors, and registered account holders, including persons based in Bangladesh and any other jurisdiction from which the platform is accessed.

888bat is committed to handling your personal data responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with applicable data protection principles. This Policy sets out the types of personal data we collect, the purposes for which it is used, the parties with whom it may be shared, the period for which it is retained, and the rights available to you in relation to that data.

This Policy should be read alongside the Terms and Conditions and the Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which form part of your agreement with 888bat.

For the purposes of this Policy, 888bat acts as the data controller in respect of personal data collected through the platform. This means we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal information. Our designated contact point for data-related enquiries is reachable at [email protected].

4. How We Collect Your Data

4.1 Information You Provide Directly

We collect personal data that you provide to us directly when you: register an account on the platform; complete identity verification (KYC) by uploading documents; make a deposit or request a withdrawal; contact our customer support team; respond to a survey or promotion; or set responsible gaming limits on your account.

When you access and use the 888bat platform, we automatically collect certain technical and usage data through cookies, web beacons, log files, and similar technologies. This includes your IP address, device identifiers, browser type and version, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and the sequence of your interactions with the platform. This data is collected to ensure the platform functions correctly, to detect fraudulent activity, and to improve the overall user experience.

4.3 Data From Third Parties

In certain circumstances, 888bat may receive personal data about you from third parties, including: payment service providers such as bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay, who may share transaction confirmation data; identity verification services used to cross-check KYC documents; fraud prevention and anti-money-laundering screening services; and responsible gaming support organisations, where you have requested self-exclusion across multiple platforms.

5. How We Use Your Data

7.1 Payment Service Providers

To process deposits and withdrawals, 888bat shares necessary financial and identity data with payment service providers including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, and BRAC Bank. These providers act as independent data processors and handle your data in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable financial regulations.

7.2 Identity Verification Partners

Where KYC verification is required, 888bat may share identity documents and personal data with third-party identity verification service providers. These providers are contractually bound to process your data only for the purpose of verification and are not permitted to use it for any other purpose.

7.3 Fraud Prevention and AML Services

888bat may share personal data with fraud prevention, anti-money-laundering screening, and responsible gaming intelligence services where this is necessary to detect and prevent financial crime or to comply with applicable obligations. Information shared for this purpose may be retained by those services and used to assess risk in connection with other platforms.

7.4 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure

888bat may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities, or courts where it is legally required to do so by a lawful order, warrant, or regulatory requirement. We will take reasonable steps to notify you of such disclosures unless legally prohibited from doing so.

7.5 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of 888bat's business, personal data held by the platform may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer and any material change to how your data is handled as a result.

7.6 No Sale of Data

888bat does not sell, rent, exchange, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for their own marketing, advertising, or commercial purposes. Any sharing of data is strictly limited to the purposes described in this Policy.

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

8.1 What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to store preferences and session information. 888bat uses cookies and similar technologies — including web beacons and local storage — to operate the platform and improve your experience.

8.2 Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the platform to function. They enable core features such as account login, session management, and security. Without these cookies, the platform cannot operate correctly.
• Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymised data about how users interact with the platform, including which pages are visited most frequently and where errors occur. This information is used solely to improve the platform and is not linked to your personal identity.
• Preference Cookies: These cookies remember your settings and preferences — such as language preferences and display settings — so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit.

8.3 Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookie settings through the browser's privacy or settings menu. You can choose to block or delete cookies at any time. However, please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent the 888bat platform from functioning properly and may prevent you from accessing your account or completing transactions.

9. Data Retention

888bat retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. In practice, this means:

• Active Accounts: Personal data associated with active accounts is retained for the lifetime of the account and for a minimum of five years following account closure, to comply with AML record-keeping obligations.
• Transaction Records: Financial transaction records, including deposit and withdrawal history, are retained for a minimum of five years following the date of each transaction.
• KYC Documents: Identity verification documents are retained for a minimum of five years following account closure or the date of the most recent transaction, whichever is later.
• Support Communications: Customer support correspondence is retained for a period of three years from the date of the interaction, unless the communication relates to an ongoing dispute or legal matter.
• Marketing Preferences: Records of your marketing consent or opt-out status are retained for as long as your account is active and for three years following account closure.

When data is no longer required for any of the above purposes, it is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with your identity.

10. Data Security

888bat implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:

• SSL 256-bit encryption applied to all data transmitted between your device and the 888bat platform
• Encrypted storage of sensitive personal and financial data on access-controlled servers
• Two-step OTP (one-time password) verification for account login and sensitive account changes
• Automatic session timeouts after periods of inactivity to reduce the risk of unauthorised access
• Strict internal access controls ensuring that personal data is accessible only to staff who require it to perform their role
• Regular internal security reviews and monitoring for anomalous access patterns

Despite these measures, no system of data transmission or storage over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, you should contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take appropriate steps to secure your account.
