ek9996 Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy governs the collection, storage, processing, and disclosure of personal data by ek9996 in connection with the operation of the ek9996 online casino and sports betting platform accessible at https://ek9996.onl. References to "ek9996", "we", "us", or "our" mean the platform operator and its authorised data processing partners. References to "you" or "the Player" mean any individual who visits, registers, or interacts with the ek9996 platform in any capacity.

This policy is written in plain, formal English and is intended to be transparent about our data practices. It forms part of the ek9996 Terms & Conditions and should be read alongside those terms. If you have questions about any section of this policy, please contact our support team at [email protected] before using the platform.

1. Legal Basis for Processing

ek9996 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal grounds:

• Contractual necessity: Processing required to operate your account, process deposits and withdrawals, and deliver the gaming services you have requested.
• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations, and record-keeping requirements imposed by our licensing authority.
• Legitimate interests: Processing carried out to detect and prevent fraud, maintain platform security, analyse service performance, and improve the player experience — where these interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights.
• Consent: Processing for optional communications such as promotional emails or SMS notifications, where you have explicitly opted in. You may withdraw this consent at any time via your account settings or by contacting support.

2. How We Use Your Data

ek9996 uses the personal data described in the "What Data We Collect" section above for the following purposes:

• Creating, verifying, and maintaining your player account.
• Processing deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and other supported payment methods.
• Conducting identity and age verification to confirm that you meet the 21+ eligibility requirement.
• Detecting and preventing fraud, money laundering, collusion, and other prohibited activities.
• Providing 24/7 customer support and resolving account queries or disputes.
• Applying responsible gaming tools such as deposit limits, session limits, and self-exclusion, and monitoring for signs of problem gambling behaviour.
• Sending transactional communications (account confirmations, deposit receipts, withdrawal notifications, security alerts) — these are not optional as they are integral to account operation.
• Sending promotional communications (bonus offers, seasonal promotions, game announcements) only where you have consented to receive them.
• Analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve platform performance, game selection, and user experience.
• Complying with legal obligations and responding to lawful requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities.

3. Sharing Your Data

ek9996 does not sell your personal data. We share data only in the following limited circumstances and only to the extent necessary for each purpose:

• Payment processors: Transaction data is shared with bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard, and other active payment partners to process your financial transactions. Each of these partners operates under their own privacy policy and security standards.
• Game content providers: Your player identifier (not your full personal details) may be shared with licensed game studios such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi to facilitate game session delivery and outcome logging.
• Identity verification services: KYC documents may be shared with third-party verification providers who assist us in confirming identity and age. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements.
• Technology infrastructure partners: Hosting, database, and security providers who process data on our behalf under contractual obligations that match the protections described in this policy.
• Legal authorities: Where required by law, court order, or regulatory direction, we may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, or other government bodies. We will notify you of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.

All third-party data processors engaged by ek9996 are required to implement technical and organisational measures that protect your personal data to a standard at least equivalent to our own.

4. Data Retention

ek9996 retains personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a minimum of five years following account closure, in order to fulfil our legal obligations under applicable AML and financial record-keeping requirements. KYC identity documents are retained for the period mandated by our licensing authority, which is typically five to seven years from the date of submission. Gaming activity records, transaction logs, and communication records are retained for the same period.

Where you request deletion of your account and associated personal data, ek9996 will action the request within 30 days, subject to our legal retention obligations. Data that must be retained by law will be securely archived and will not be used for any active processing purpose during the retention period.

5. Data Security

ek9996 implements a layered security architecture to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our security measures include but are not limited to:

• TLS 1.2 or higher encryption for all data in transit between your device and our servers.
• AES-256 encryption for sensitive data fields stored in our databases, including identity documents and payment identifiers.
• Role-based access controls that limit employee access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis.
• Multi-factor authentication required for all internal system access by ek9996 personnel.
• Automated intrusion detection and regular independent security audits of platform infrastructure.
• Secure, geographically redundant data backups with encrypted storage.

Notwithstanding the above measures, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your own login credentials and for notifying ek9996 promptly if you suspect that your account has been compromised.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

ek9996 uses the following categories of cookies and similar technologies when you use our platform:

• Essential cookies: Required for core platform functionality including session management, login authentication, and security token validation. These cannot be disabled without impairing platform usability.
• Functional cookies: Used to remember your preferences such as language settings, preferred payment method, and responsible gaming configuration. These improve your experience but are not strictly necessary.
• Analytics cookies: Used to collect anonymised, aggregated data about how players navigate the platform, which games are most popular, and where users encounter difficulties. This data is used internally to improve the platform and is never shared with advertising networks.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or using core platform features. ek9996 does not use advertising or retargeting cookies.

7. Your Rights

As a user of the ek9996 platform, you hold the following rights with respect to your personal data:

• Right of access: You may request a copy of all personal data ek9996 holds about you, free of charge, within 30 days of the request.
• Right to rectification: You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold. Minor corrections (e.g., updating your residential district) can be made directly through your account settings.
• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data subject to legal retention obligations. Where deletion is not possible due to legal requirements, we will inform you of the specific retention obligation that applies.
• Right to restrict processing: You may request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances, for example while a dispute over the accuracy of your data is being resolved.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where we process your data on the basis of consent (e.g., for promotional communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
• Right to lodge a complaint: If you believe ek9996 has handled your personal data unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with our support team in the first instance, and thereafter with the relevant supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.

To exercise any of these rights, contact ek9996 support in writing at [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Request". We will acknowledge your request within 5 business days and provide a substantive response within 30 days.

8. Children and Minors

The ek9996 platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Where ek9996 discovers or is notified that a user is under 21, the account will be suspended immediately, all associated personal data will be securely deleted (subject to any legal obligations to retain evidence of the breach), and any funds in the account will be reviewed in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.

9. International Data Transfers

ek9996 operates under an international offshore license and its infrastructure may involve data processing in multiple jurisdictions. Where personal data is transferred outside Bangladesh, ek9996 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place — including contractual data processing agreements with receiving parties — so that your data receives a level of protection consistent with this Privacy Policy regardless of where it is processed.

10. Changes to This Policy

ek9996 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, changes in applicable law, or improvements to our platform. Material changes will be communicated to registered players via the email address or mobile number on file at least 7 days before the changes take effect. The updated policy will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the platform after the effective date of any amendment constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
