To process deposits and withdrawals, bk55 shares the minimum necessary financial data with its payment partners, including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, Islami Bank, Sonali Bank, Visa, and Mastercard.

6.3 Game Providers

When you play games hosted by third-party studios such as Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi, your account identifier and game session data are transmitted to those providers to enable the game to function. These providers do not receive your full name, address, or payment details from bk55.

6.4 Legal & Regulatory Authorities

bk55 may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or other government authorities where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or other legal process. bk55 will notify you of any such disclosure where it is legally permissible to do so.

6.5 Fraud Prevention & Security Services

bk55 may share data with fraud prevention and cybersecurity service providers for the purpose of detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, money laundering, and other illegal conduct on the platform. Information shared with these providers may be retained by them and used to inform risk assessments for other organisations where permitted by law.

7 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

bk55 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the platform website. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit the bk55 website. They allow the platform to recognise your browser, remember your session, and collect information about how you use the site.

7.1 Types of Cookies Used

7.2 Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from accessing certain features of the bk55 platform, including account login. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not affect your ability to use the platform but may result in less personalised content.

Detailed instructions for managing cookies in common browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera) are available through those browsers' help documentation. bk55 does not control third-party cookies set by game providers within embedded game frames — please refer to the respective provider's cookie policy for details.

8 Data Retention

bk55 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply:

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual. Where data has been anonymised, bk55 may retain it indefinitely for statistical and platform improvement purposes.

9 Your Data Rights

As a bk55 player, you hold a number of rights in respect of the personal data bk55 holds about you. bk55 is committed to upholding these rights and will respond to all valid requests within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 30 calendar days of receipt.

• Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data bk55 holds about you, together with information about how that data is being processed. This is commonly referred to as a Subject Access Request (SAR).
• Right to Rectification: You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data bk55 holds about you. Where possible, you can update basic account information directly through your account profile settings.
• Right to Erasure: You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, where the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing. This right is not absolute and does not apply where bk55 has a legal obligation to retain the data.
• Right to Restriction: You have the right to request that bk55 restricts the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while a rectification request is being assessed.
• Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on contractual necessity, you have the right to receive a copy of the personal data you have provided to bk55 in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing of your personal data where that processing is based on bk55's legitimate interests. You also have an unconditional right to object to processing of your data for direct marketing purposes.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where bk55 processes your data on the basis of consent (e.g., marketing communications), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact bk55 at [email protected]. To protect your privacy, bk55 may request proof of identity before processing certain rights requests. There is no charge for exercising your data rights in the majority of cases.

10 Data Security

bk55 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser or device and the bk55 platform is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS technology. This ensures that your personal and financial data cannot be intercepted during transmission.
• Encrypted Data Storage: Sensitive data held in bk55's databases — including identity documents, payment method details, and account credentials — is stored in encrypted form using strong encryption algorithms.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data within the bk55 organisation is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff members may only access the specific data categories necessary to fulfil their role. All access is logged and audited.
• Two-Factor Authentication: bk55 encourages all players to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on their account for an additional layer of login security. 2FA can be configured from your account security settings.
• Fraud Monitoring: bk55 operates automated systems that continuously monitor account activity for signs of unauthorised access, unusual transaction patterns, or other indicators of fraud. Suspicious activity triggers an immediate security review.
• Regular Security Reviews: bk55 conducts periodic reviews of its security infrastructure and data protection practices to ensure they remain effective and current with evolving security standards.

Despite these measures, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you suspect that your bk55 account has been accessed without your authorisation, you must contact [email protected] immediately so that bk55 can take prompt protective action.

11 Children & Minors

The bk55 platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. bk55 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. The 21+ age verification process applied during account registration is specifically designed to prevent minors from accessing the platform.

If bk55 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual who does not meet the 21+ age requirement, that individual's account will be immediately closed, all data will be deleted as soon as legally permissible, and any balances will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the bk55 Terms & Conditions.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child may have registered on the bk55 platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. bk55 will investigate the matter promptly and take all necessary steps to close the account and delete associated data.

Your continued use of the bk55 platform after the publication of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to the revised Privacy Policy, you must cease using the platform and may request account closure by contacting our support team.
