bvd8 Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how bvd8 ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, discloses and protects the personal data of individuals ("you", "the Player") who register an account on or otherwise use the services available at bvd8.org. This Policy forms part of bvd8's Terms and Conditions and is incorporated into them by reference. By registering an account or using the platform you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy.

We are committed to handling your personal data with care, transparency and respect. This Policy is designed to give you a clear understanding of how your information is used so that you can make informed decisions about sharing it with us. If you have any questions about this Policy or about how bvd8 handles your data, please contact us at [email protected].

2. Data We Collect

We collect personal data from you in three ways: data you provide to us directly, data generated automatically by your use of the platform, and data received from third-party payment and identity verification services. The categories of data we collect are described below.

Data You Provide Directly

• Registration data: your full name, date of birth, mobile phone number, and any other information requested during account creation.
• Identity verification (KYC) documents: copies of government-issued photo identification such as a National Identity Card or passport, and proof of address documents where requested.
• Payment data: the mobile wallet numbers (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) or card details used to make deposits and receive withdrawals. We do not store full card numbers on our servers; payment data is handled via encrypted channels.
• Support communications: messages, emails and chat transcripts you send to bvd8 customer support, together with any attachments you include.
• Preference data: settings and preferences you configure within your account, including responsible gaming tool settings such as deposit limits and self-exclusion status.

Data Generated Automatically

• Device and technical data: IP address, device type, operating system version, browser type and version, screen resolution, and device identifiers.
• Usage data: pages visited, time spent on each page, game sessions played, bets placed, deposit and withdrawal history, bonus redemptions, and navigation patterns within the platform.
• Cookie data: information collected via cookies and similar tracking technologies as described in our Cookie Policy section below.

Data from Third Parties

• Payment processors: transaction status, confirmation codes and anti-fraud signals from bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa and Mastercard network processors.
• Identity verification providers: results of automated document and biometric checks performed by third-party KYC service providers we may use.
• Fraud and AML screening: data from sanctions lists, politically exposed person (PEP) databases, and fraud-prevention networks as required by standard anti-money laundering procedures.

3. How We Use Your Data

bvd8 uses the personal data we collect for the following purposes. Where applicable, we identify the legal basis on which we rely for each use.

• Account administration: creating and maintaining your player account, authenticating your identity on login, processing deposits and withdrawals, and delivering customer support. Legal basis: performance of a contract.
• Identity verification and KYC compliance: verifying that you meet the age and eligibility requirements and fulfilling our know-your-customer obligations under applicable anti-money laundering standards. Legal basis: legal obligation.
• Responsible gaming: monitoring gaming activity to identify patterns that may indicate problem gambling, applying deposit limits, session reminders and self-exclusion tools, and referring players to support resources where appropriate. Legal basis: legitimate interests and legal obligation.
• Security and fraud prevention: detecting, investigating and preventing fraud, cheating, multi-accounting, money laundering, and other prohibited activities. Legal basis: legitimate interests and legal obligation.
• Service improvement and analytics: analysing aggregated and anonymised usage data to improve the platform's performance, personalise content where appropriate, and develop new features. Legal basis: legitimate interests.
• Marketing communications: sending you promotions, bonus offers and platform updates by push notification or email where you have not opted out. Legal basis: legitimate interests (you may opt out at any time via your account settings or by emailing [email protected]).

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

bvd8 does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your data only in the limited circumstances described below.

Payment Processors

To process deposits and withdrawals, we share necessary transaction data with our payment processing partners including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and Visa/Mastercard network processors. These partners are bound by their own privacy commitments and are permitted to use your data only to the extent necessary to complete the transaction and comply with their own regulatory obligations.

Identity Verification Providers

Where we use third-party KYC providers to verify your identity, we share the identification documents you submit with those providers for the sole purpose of completing the verification check. KYC providers are contractually restricted from using your documents for any purpose other than the verification service they provide to bvd8.

Game Providers

When you play games provided by third-party studios such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe or Ezugi through the bvd8 platform, those providers receive a session token and anonymised player reference necessary to deliver the game. They do not receive your name, mobile number, payment details or full account data unless you interact directly with their own platform outside of bvd8.

Legal and Regulatory Authorities

We may disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, courts or other official authorities where we are legally required to do so, or where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to prevent or detect a crime, protect national security, or protect the vital interests of a person. We will notify you of such disclosure where we are legally permitted to do so.

5. Data Retention

bvd8 retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following retention guidelines:

• Active account data: retained for as long as your account remains open and active.
• Transaction records: retained for a minimum of 5 years following the date of each transaction, consistent with standard financial record-keeping obligations.
• KYC verification records: retained for a minimum of 5 years following account closure, or longer where required by applicable law.
• Support communications: retained for 2 years following the resolution of each support interaction, unless the matter involves an ongoing dispute or investigation.

6. Data Security

bvd8 implements a range of technical and organisational measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Our security programme includes the following controls:

Encryption

All personal data transmitted between your device and bvd8's servers is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. Sensitive data stored at rest, including KYC documents and payment account references, is encrypted using industry-standard algorithms. Encryption keys are managed with access controls that restrict who can decrypt stored data.

Access Controls and Organisational Measures

Access to player account data within bvd8's internal systems is restricted on a need-to-know basis. Staff who handle personal data are subject to confidentiality obligations and receive training on data protection responsibilities. Access logs are maintained so that any unusual access to account data can be reviewed and investigated.

No online platform can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. If you have reason to believe that your bvd8 account has been compromised, or that your personal data has been accessed without authorisation, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

bvd8 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as local storage and session tokens) on bvd8.org. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help us recognise you, maintain your session, and understand how the platform is being used. The cookies we use fall into the following categories:

• Essential cookies: strictly necessary for the platform to function, including session authentication, security tokens and load-balancing cookies. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
• Analytical cookies: used to collect anonymised data about how players navigate the platform, which features are most used, and where performance improvements are needed. This data is processed in aggregate and is not linked to individual player identities.
• Preference cookies: used to remember your platform settings, such as your preferred language version and responsible gaming tool configurations, so that you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit.
• Marketing cookies: used to track whether you arrived at bvd8 via a referral link and to measure the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns. These cookies do not track your activity on third-party websites.
• Session tokens: temporary identifiers used to maintain your authenticated login session. Session tokens expire when you log out or after a defined period of inactivity.

You can control non-essential cookies by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the bvd8 platform — for example, preference cookies store your responsible gaming settings, and analytical cookies help us identify and fix performance issues faster.

8. Your Data Rights

As a player at bvd8, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request" and include your registered mobile number so that we can verify your identity before processing your request.

Summary of Your Rights

The following rights are available to you as a bvd8 player. We will respond to all verified data rights requests within a reasonable time, typically within 30 days of receipt.

• Right of access: you may request a copy of the personal data bvd8 holds about you, together with information about how it is used.
• Right to rectification: you may request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. You may also update many of your account details directly via your account settings.
• Right to erasure: you may request that we delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any overriding legal retention obligations bvd8 must comply with.
• Right to restriction: you may request that we restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while we investigate an accuracy challenge or a data rights objection.
• Right to object: you may object to processing of your personal data where it is based on legitimate interests, including objecting to receiving marketing communications. We will honour marketing opt-outs promptly.

9. Children and Minors

bvd8's services are strictly intended for adults aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 21.

Age Verification

During registration, bvd8 requires players to confirm that they are 21 years of age or older. We may also request documentary proof of age as part of our KYC process. If we discover or have reasonable grounds to suspect that an account belongs to a person under 21, we will immediately suspend the account, return any deposited funds to the originating payment method, and void any winnings associated with that account.

Parental Controls

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your household may have accessed bvd8 without your knowledge, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate promptly and take appropriate action, including account closure and refund of deposits where applicable.

Third-Party Parental Control Software

We recommend that households with minors install parental control or web filtering software on shared devices to prevent access to gambling websites, including bvd8.org. Several reputable tools are available at no cost and can be configured to block gambling-related content by category.

Data of Minors Received in Error

If bvd8 becomes aware that it has inadvertently collected personal data from a person under the age of 21, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our systems, close the associated account, and return any deposited funds to the originating payment method.

10. Changes to This Policy

bvd8 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or the services we offer. When we make material changes to this Policy, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and take reasonable steps to notify registered players. The following types of changes may prompt a notification:

• A change in the categories of personal data we collect from players.
• A change in the third parties with whom we share player data.
• A change in our data retention periods that materially reduces your rights.
• A change in the legal basis on which we process sensitive data categories.

Your continued use of bvd8 following the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with a material change, you may close your account before the change takes effect by contacting our support team.

11. International Data Transfers

bvd8 is a platform primarily serving players in Bangladesh. However, some of the third-party service providers we use — including game studios, KYC providers and infrastructure partners — may process data on servers located outside Bangladesh. Where such transfers occur, bvd8 takes steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including contractual commitments from those providers to maintain data security standards comparable to those described in this Policy.

By using bvd8 and providing your personal data, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside Bangladesh. We will always apply the protections described in this Policy regardless of where your data is processed.

12. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy and any dispute arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. bvd8 operates this platform primarily for players located in Bangladesh and designs its data practices to be consistent with responsible data handling principles applicable in the Bangladesh market.

bvd8 reserves the right to amend this Policy at any time consistent with applicable legal requirements. Any material amendment will be communicated to registered players in advance of the amendment taking effect, using the contact information held on their account.
