Full Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information submitted to or collected by kk9 through its online platform. kk9 operates as an online entertainment and betting service available to eligible users in Bangladesh. We are committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining the confidentiality of all personal data entrusted to us. Please read this policy carefully before using our services.

1. Information We Collect

When you register for or use the kk9 platform, we collect the following categories of personal data:

• Identity information: full name, date of birth, national ID or passport number (required for KYC verification for players aged 21 and above).
• Contact information: email address, mobile phone number, and residential address (city and district in Bangladesh).
• Financial information: payment method details used for deposits and withdrawals (e.g. bKash wallet number, Nagad account, Rocket mobile banking details, bank account details for Dutch-Bangla Bank, BRAC Bank, or other partner banks). We do not store full card numbers; card data is tokenized by our payment processors.
• Technical information: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, and time zone setting (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6).
• Usage data: pages visited, games played, betting history, session duration, search queries within the platform, and promotional interactions.

2. How We Use Your Information

kk9 processes your personal data solely for legitimate purposes directly connected to operating a safe and enjoyable betting and casino platform. Specifically, we use your data to:

• Create and manage your kk9 account, verify your identity (KYC), and confirm you are aged 21 or above as required for responsible gambling compliance.
• Process deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and partner bank transfers, and detect fraudulent or suspicious transactions.
• Provide customer support via email and live chat, including resolving disputes related to cricket betting, BPL odds, slots, crash games, or payment issues.
• Send you relevant promotional communications (bonus offers, free spin notifications, seasonal promotions for Eid, Pohela Boishakh, IPL, T20 World Cup, BPL) if you have opted in to receive them.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

kk9 uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience, maintain session security, and understand how players interact with our platform. We categorise our cookies as follows:

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for core platform functions such as login sessions, payment flows, and account security. These cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use the platform.
• Performance and analytics cookies: help us understand which pages and games are most popular among Bangladeshi players, how long sessions last, and where technical errors occur, so we can continuously improve our service.
• Functional cookies: remember your preferences such as language selection, odds format, and notification settings so your experience is consistent across visits.
• Marketing cookies: used to deliver relevant promotional offers. You may opt out of these at any time through your account settings or by contacting support.

4. Sharing Your Information

kk9 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances: (a) with payment service providers such as bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay, and with partner banks (Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, Islami Bank, Sonali Bank) strictly to complete your requested financial transactions; (b) with identity verification and fraud-prevention service providers who assist with KYC compliance — these parties are contractually prohibited from using your data for any other purpose; (c) with regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies when required by applicable law; (d) with game content providers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe, NetEnt, Microgaming, or Ezugi to the limited extent necessary to deliver gameplay and calculate results fairly. All third-party processors are required to implement security standards equivalent to those we maintain at kk9.

5. Data Storage and Security

We implement technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or disclosure. These include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers.
• Encrypted storage of sensitive data such as passwords (hashed and salted) and payment tokens.
• Regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

6. Data Retention

kk9 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Specifically: account data is retained for the lifetime of your active account and for a period thereafter as required by applicable law or internal compliance obligations; transaction records are kept for a minimum of five years to satisfy financial record-keeping requirements; marketing preferences and communication logs are deleted promptly upon your opt-out request. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

7. Your Rights and Choices

As a kk9 user, you have the following rights regarding your personal data: (a) Right of access — you may request a copy of all personal data we hold about you; (b) Right to rectification — if any information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct it; (c) Right to erasure — in certain circumstances you may ask us to delete your personal data, subject to our legal and compliance obligations; (d) Right to restrict processing — you may ask us to limit how we use your data while a dispute or correction request is pending; (e) Right to data portability — you may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format; (f) Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on your consent (e.g. marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request". We aim to respond to all valid requests within 30 days.

8. Responsible Gaming and Data

kk9 takes responsible gaming seriously. As part of our commitment, we use certain account and behaviour data specifically to:

• Monitor for signs of problem gambling, such as unusual betting patterns, rapid escalation of wager amounts, or repeated self-exclusion requests.
• Enforce self-exclusion and deposit limit settings that you configure in your account, ensuring these restrictions are applied consistently across all sessions.
• Comply with responsible gaming regulations and, where applicable, share data with responsible gaming bodies or support organisations if required by law or if you have requested a referral.
• Maintain permanent records of self-exclusion requests so that excluded players cannot accidentally regain access to the platform during an exclusion period.

9. Children and Age Verification

kk9 is strictly an adult platform. Our services are available only to persons who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21. If we discover that personal data has been collected from a user under the age of 21 without appropriate parental consent, we will delete that information immediately and close the associated account. If you believe a minor has registered on our platform, please notify us immediately at [email protected]. Age verification is carried out during the KYC process and we reserve the right to request additional documentation at any time.

10. Links to Third-Party Services

The kk9 platform integrates with third-party game providers (Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe, NetEnt, Microgaming, Ezugi) and payment services (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard). While we take care in selecting reputable partners, kk9 is not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services. Each provider operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with directly through our platform.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

kk9 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or platform features. When we make material changes, we will notify registered users by email or by posting a prominent notice on the kk9 platform at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of kk9 after the effective date of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you are always aware of our current practices.
