2. Information We Collect

bj55 collects various types of personal information from users in order to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, and improve the user experience. The types of information we collect include:

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

• Account Registration Data: When you create a bj55 account, we collect your full legal name, date of birth, email address, mobile phone number, residential address (including city, postal code, and country), username, and password. We require this information to verify your identity, confirm you meet eligibility requirements (age 18+), and establish your account.
• Identity Verification Documents: To comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, we may request government-issued identification documents such as your National ID card, passport, or driver's license, as well as proof of address documents such as utility bills, bank statements, or rental agreements. These documents help us verify your identity and prevent fraudulent account creation.
• Financial Information: When you make deposits or request withdrawals, we collect payment method details such as bKash account numbers, Nagad wallet numbers, Rocket account numbers, Upay account numbers, or credit/debit card information (card number, expiration date, CVV code, cardholder name). We use this information to process your transactions securely. Please note that credit card information is processed through secure third-party payment gateways and is not stored directly on our servers.

This information helps us comply with jurisdictional restrictions, provide localized content and promotions relevant to Bangladesh users, and detect potentially fraudulent activity originating from unusual locations.
• Transaction History: We maintain a complete record of all financial transactions on your account, including deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, wins, losses, bonus redemptions, and account balance changes. This transaction history is necessary for account management, dispute resolution, regulatory compliance, and financial auditing purposes.

2.3 Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third-party sources, including payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, credit card gateways), identity verification services, fraud prevention databases, and marketing partners.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

bj55 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, we may share your personal information with the following categories of recipients under specific circumstances:

4.1 Service Providers

We share personal information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the bj55 platform and delivering our services. These service providers include payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, credit card gateways), game providers (Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, Ezugi), identity verification services, fraud detection systems, customer support tools, email delivery platforms, data analytics providers, and IT infrastructure providers. These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your personal information, use it only for the purposes we specify, and comply with applicable data protection laws.

4.2 Legal and Regulatory Authorities

We may disclose your personal information to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, government authorities, or courts when required by law or when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests for information, enforce our Terms and Conditions, protect the rights and safety of bj55 and our users, investigate fraud or security incidents, or comply with judicial or administrative proceedings.

4.3 Business Transfers

In the event that bj55 is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or other business transaction, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity or successor organization as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or prominent notice on our website before your personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

4.4 Consent-Based Sharing

We may share your personal information with other third parties if you provide explicit consent for us to do so, such as when you authorize us to share information with a specific marketing partner or when you participate in a co-branded promotion.

5. Data Security Measures

bj55 takes data security seriously and implements a comprehensive set of technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security measures include:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer / Transport Layer Security) encryption protocols. This ensures that your login credentials, financial information, and personal data cannot be intercepted or read by unauthorized third parties during transmission.
• Secure Data Storage: Personal information stored on our servers is protected using advanced encryption algorithms, access controls, and secure database management practices. Our servers are hosted in secure data centers with restricted physical access, 24/7 monitoring, fire suppression systems, and backup power supplies.
• Access Controls: We implement strict access controls that limit employee and contractor access to personal information on a need-to-know basis. Only authorized personnel who require access to perform their job functions are granted access to user data, and all access is logged and monitored for security purposes.
• Two-Factor Authentication: We offer optional two-factor authentication (2FA) for user accounts, adding an extra layer of security beyond passwords. We strongly encourage all users to enable 2FA to protect their accounts from unauthorized access.
• Regular Security Audits: Our systems undergo regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing conducted by independent security experts to identify and address potential security weaknesses before they can be exploited.
• Employee Training: All bj55 employees and contractors receive regular training on data protection best practices, confidentiality obligations, and security protocols to ensure they understand the importance of protecting user data.
• Incident Response Plan: We maintain a comprehensive incident response plan to quickly detect, contain, and remediate any security breaches or data incidents. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you promptly and take all necessary steps to mitigate the impact.

While we implement robust security measures, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your personal information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for notifying us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.

6. Data Retention

bj55 retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and maintain records for audit and compliance purposes. Our specific data retention practices include:

• Active Accounts: For active bj55 accounts, we retain your personal information for the entire duration of your account relationship with us, plus any additional period required by law.
• Closed Accounts: When you voluntarily close your account, we will retain certain personal information (such as your name, contact details, identity verification documents, transaction history, and account activity records) for a minimum of seven (7) years from the date of account closure to comply with financial recordkeeping requirements, anti-money laundering regulations, and potential legal or regulatory inquiries.
• Marketing Communications: If you opt out of receiving marketing communications, we will retain a record of your opt-out preference indefinitely to ensure we do not contact you again for marketing purposes.
• Legal Holds: If your personal information is subject to a legal hold, regulatory investigation, ongoing dispute, or litigation, we will retain that information until the matter is fully resolved, even if it exceeds our standard retention periods.

After the applicable retention period expires, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you as an identifiable individual. Anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis, research, and platform improvement purposes.

7. Your Privacy Rights

As a bj55 user, you have certain rights regarding your personal information. Depending on your jurisdiction, these rights may include:

• Right to Access: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. You can view and manage much of your account information directly through your bj55 account settings. For additional information not accessible through your account, you may submit a data access request to our customer support team.
• Right to Rectification: If any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, you have the right to request that we correct or update it. You can update most of your account information directly through your account settings, or you can contact customer support for assistance.
• Right to Erasure: In certain circumstances, you may have the right to request deletion of your personal information. However, this right is not absolute and may be limited by legal obligations that require us to retain certain information (such as financial transaction records, identity verification documents, and compliance records). We will evaluate each erasure request on a case-by-case basis and delete information where legally permissible.
• Right to Restrict Processing: You may have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information in certain situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to our processing activities.
• Right to Data Portability: You may have the right to receive a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another service provider.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes at any time. You can unsubscribe from marketing communications by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any promotional email or by updating your communication preferences in your account settings.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where our processing of your personal information is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. However, withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our customer support team at the contact information provided at the end of this Privacy Policy. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to ensure we are disclosing information only to the rightful account holder.

9. Third-Party Services and Links

The bj55 platform may contain links to third-party websites, services, or applications that are not owned or controlled by bj55. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by bj55 and does not cover the privacy practices of third-party websites or services. When you click on a third-party link or interact with a third-party service, you are subject to that third party's privacy policy and terms of service. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you visit.

bj55 integrates with third-party game providers (such as Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi) to deliver casino games and live dealer experiences. These game providers may collect their own information about your gameplay activity through their gaming platforms. We recommend reviewing each game provider's privacy policy to understand how they handle your data.

We also use third-party payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, credit card gateways) to process your financial transactions. When you make a deposit or withdrawal, you will be redirected to the payment provider's secure platform, where their privacy policy and terms of service will apply. bj55 does not have access to your full payment credentials (such as full card numbers or bKash PINs) as this sensitive information is processed directly by the payment provider.

When we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by posting a prominent notice on the bj55 website, updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document, and, where appropriate, sending an email notification to the email address associated with your account.
