• Identity information: full name, date of birth, gender, and a government-issued photo ID (National ID card, passport, or driving licence) for KYC verification.

• Gameplay data: betting history, wagering patterns, game preferences, bonus usage, and session duration records for responsible gaming monitoring.
• Communications data: support chat transcripts, emails sent to abc8, and feedback or survey responses you voluntarily provide.

We collect only the minimum data necessary to deliver our services and meet our legal and compliance obligations. We do not collect sensitive personal data beyond what is required for identity verification and responsible gaming purposes.

How We Use Your Information

abc8 uses the personal information collected from you strictly for the following legitimate purposes:

• Account management: to create, verify, and maintain your abc8 account, including identity verification (KYC) required before processing withdrawals.
• Transaction processing: to facilitate deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay, and to process bet settlements and withdrawals securely and promptly.
• Customer support: to respond to your queries, investigate disputes, and provide technical assistance across all abc8 products including slots, live casino, cricket betting, and crash games.
• Responsible gaming: to monitor gameplay patterns, enforce self-exclusion requests, and flag accounts that may show signs of problem gambling in accordance with our Responsible Gaming policy.
• Security and fraud prevention: to detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions, account takeovers, bonus abuse, and other unlawful activities on the Platform.
• Service improvement: to analyse usage trends, improve Platform performance, personalise your experience, and develop new features tailored to players from Bangladesh and the wider South Asia region.

Disclosure of Your Information

abc8 does not sell or rent your personal data. We may share limited information with trusted third parties only in the following strictly controlled circumstances:

• Payment processors and financial service providers (such as bKash, Nagad, and card network operators) solely to facilitate your deposit and withdrawal transactions.
• Game technology providers (such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and Spribe) who require session tokens to authenticate your gameplay — no personally identifiable information beyond what is technically necessary is transferred.
• Identity verification and KYC service providers engaged to confirm the authenticity of documents submitted during account registration or withdrawal processing.
• Law enforcement authorities, regulators, or courts when we are legally required or otherwise compelled to disclose information to comply with applicable law, a court order, or a binding regulatory directive.

In all cases of third-party sharing, we apply contractual data protection obligations and share only the minimum information necessary for the defined purpose. We do not permit third parties to use your data for their own marketing or profiling activities.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

abc8 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on the Platform, remember your preferences, and gather analytical data that helps us improve our services for players across Bangladesh.

We use the following types of cookies on the abc8 Platform:

• Essential cookies: strictly necessary for the Platform to function, including session authentication, security tokens, and load balancing. These cannot be disabled without disrupting the service.
• Analytical cookies: used to collect anonymised data on how users navigate the Platform, which pages and game categories attract the most engagement, and where technical errors occur.
• Preference cookies: used to remember your language preference, last login details, and game settings so you do not need to re-enter them on every visit.

You may adjust your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies at any time. Please note that disabling essential cookies will impair core Platform functionality such as staying logged into your abc8 account.

Data Retention

abc8 retains your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter as required to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Financial transaction records may be retained for a minimum of five years to satisfy applicable record-keeping requirements.

When your personal data is no longer required for its original purpose and no legal retention obligation applies, we securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you as an identifiable individual.

Data Security Measures

The security of your personal data is a priority at abc8. We implement a layered security framework that includes 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit, encrypted storage for sensitive data at rest, strict role-based access controls so only authorised personnel can access personal data, regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing of our systems, and multi-factor authentication requirements for administrative access.

Despite our best efforts, no security system is impenetrable. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, abc8 will notify affected users as promptly as practicable and take all reasonable steps to contain and remediate the breach.

Your Data Rights

As a user of the abc8 Platform, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

• Right of access: you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time by contacting [email protected].
• Right of rectification: if any information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it without undue delay.
• Right of erasure: subject to our legal retention obligations, you may request the deletion of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
• Right to restrict processing: you may request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances, for example while a dispute over its accuracy is being resolved.
• Right to withdraw consent: where we process your data on the basis of your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

To exercise any of the rights listed above, please contact our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request". We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

Third-Party Services and Links

The abc8 Platform integrates third-party game content from providers including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe, NetEnt, Microgaming, and Ezugi. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and security standards. While abc8 selects partners who meet high data-protection standards, we are not responsible for the independent data practices of third-party providers.

Payment service providers including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay also maintain their own privacy frameworks. When you initiate a transaction using these services, your payment data is handled directly by the respective provider. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before using their services.

Children's Privacy

The abc8 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 21. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take prompt steps to delete such information. Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 will be suspended and any balances returned in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
