We are fully committed to safeguarding your personal information and operating with complete transparency regarding how your data flows through our systems. This Policy is updated periodically to reflect changes in law, technology, and our service operations.

Certain data is collected automatically each time you visit or interact with ek444. This technical data helps us maintain platform stability, detect fraud, and improve your experience:

• Log files recording page visits, clicks, and error events.
• Session cookies that keep you signed in during an active gaming session.
• Analytics events tracking how players navigate menus, game lobbies, and promotional sections.
• Device fingerprint data used for fraud prevention and responsible gaming safeguards.

3. How We Use Your Information

ek444 uses the personal data collected for the following specific, legitimate purposes:

• Account creation and management: to register your account, verify your identity (KYC), and manage your player profile securely.
• Service delivery: to process your deposits and withdrawals, credit bonuses, and resolve support queries within Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6).
• Personalisation: to tailor game recommendations, promotional offers, and communication content to your activity patterns and preferences.
• Legal compliance: to meet applicable regulatory obligations, conduct anti-money laundering (AML) checks, and respond to lawful requests from competent authorities.
• Security and fraud prevention: to monitor suspicious activity, protect player accounts, and enforce our responsible gaming policies.
• Platform improvement: to analyse aggregate usage trends and fix technical issues to deliver a smoother gaming experience.

4. Payment Data and Financial Privacy

When you make a deposit or request a withdrawal via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or any supported bank channel (including Dutch-Bangla Bank, BRAC Bank, or City Bank), your financial data is handled with the highest level of protection. We do not store your full mobile banking PIN, OTP, or card verification code (CVV) on our servers. Payment transactions are processed through secure, encrypted payment gateways.

Transaction records — including amounts in BDT (Taka), timestamps, and method references — are retained in compliance with applicable financial record-keeping requirements and for the purpose of resolving any payment disputes you may raise.

5. Sharing Your Information

ek444 does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third party. We may share your data only in the following limited and strictly controlled circumstances:

• Service providers and processors: trusted third-party vendors (such as payment processors, KYC verification services, and IT infrastructure partners) who are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions and under equivalent confidentiality standards.
• Legal and regulatory obligations: where disclosure is required by applicable law, court order, or a lawful request from a government or law enforcement authority.
• Business transfers: in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, who will remain bound by the terms of this Policy.
• Fraud and security: to investigate, prevent, or take action against fraudulent activity, suspected abuse, or violations of our Terms and Conditions.

In each case, we share only the minimum data necessary and require all receiving parties to treat it with at least the same standard of care as set out in this Policy.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

ek444 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate core platform functions and enhance your browsing experience. We use three categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: essential for logging in, maintaining your session, and securing your account. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
• Analytical cookies: used to understand aggregate page performance, popular game sections, and traffic sources so we can improve the platform. Data is aggregated and anonymised before analysis.
• Functional cookies: used to remember your language preferences, display settings, and other personalisation choices you have made on ek444.

You may manage or disable non-essential cookies at any time through your mobile or desktop browser settings. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may limit the functionality of some features on ek444.

7. Data Retention

ek444 retains your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, comply with applicable legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. Specifically:

Active account data is retained for the duration of your registered account plus a reasonable period after closure as required for audit and legal purposes. Financial transaction records are kept for a minimum of five (5) years in line with standard financial compliance requirements. If you request deletion of your account and data, we will action your request within 30 days, except where we are required to retain specific data by law.

8. Your Rights and Choices

As a registered user of ek444, you hold the following rights with respect to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at [email protected]:

• Right of access: you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time.
• Right to rectification: if any data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction.
• Right to erasure: subject to our legal retention obligations, you may request deletion of your personal data and account.
• Right to restrict processing: you may ask us to limit how we use your data, for instance if you contest its accuracy while we verify it.
• Right to object: you may object to receiving direct marketing communications from ek444 at any time by contacting our support team or using the unsubscribe option in any email we send.

We aim to respond to all valid data rights requests within 30 days of receipt. Complex requests may require up to 90 days; in such cases, we will inform you of the extension within the first 30 days.

9. Security Measures

ek444 employs robust technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmissions, secure and access-controlled server environments, regular security audits and penetration testing, multi-factor authentication options for player accounts, and staff training on data protection obligations.

While we take every reasonable precaution, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights, we will notify affected users promptly and take all necessary remedial steps.

10. Third-Party Links and Services

The ek444 platform may display links to or integrate with third-party game providers (such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe, NetEnt, Microgaming, or Ezugi) whose games are embedded within our platform. These providers operate under their own privacy and data processing agreements. ek444 is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party game software running within our interface. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with.

11. Age Restriction and Minors

ek444 is strictly an adults-only platform. You must be 21 years of age or older to register and use our services. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data relating to individuals under the age of 21. If we become aware that a minor has registered an account or provided personal data, we will immediately suspend the account and delete the associated data. If you believe a minor has accessed our platform, please notify us immediately at [email protected].

12. Changes to This Policy

ek444 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make material changes, we will post the revised Policy on this page with an updated effective date and, where appropriate, notify registered users via email or an in-platform notification.

Your continued use of ek444 following the posting of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.
