bh998 Privacy Policy
At bh998, protecting your personal data is a responsibility we take seriously. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect when you use our platform, why we collect it, how it is stored and protected, and what rights you have over your own data. We are committed to full transparency in every aspect of data handling.
How bh998 Protects Your Privacy
We have built our data practices around six core principles that govern every decision we make about your personal information.
End-to-End Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and the bh998 platform is protected by industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption. Your personal details, payment information, and account credentials are never exposed in plain text at any point in the transmission chain.
Minimal Data Collection
bh998 collects only the information that is strictly necessary to operate your account, verify your identity, process payments, and comply with applicable obligations. We do not collect data speculatively or for purposes beyond what is described in this policy.
No Data Selling
Your personal data is never sold, rented, or traded to third-party advertisers, data brokers, or marketing agencies. Any sharing of data with third parties is strictly limited to service providers who support our platform operations and are bound by confidentiality agreements.
Your Data, Your Control
Registered players on bh998 have clear rights over their personal data, including the right to access, correct, restrict processing, and request deletion of their information. These rights can be exercised at any time by contacting our support team at [email protected].
Secure Data Storage
Personal data collected by bh998 is stored on secured servers with access controls, encryption at rest, and regular security audits. Only authorised personnel with a legitimate operational need are permitted to access player data, and all access is logged and monitored.
Clear Retention Limits
bh998 retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the stated purposes or as required by applicable law. Once the retention period expires and no legal obligation requires further retention, your data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data lifecycle policy.

8 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in or using transactional features of the Platform. bh998 does not use third-party advertising or behavioural targeting cookies.
9 Data Retention
bh998 retains your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, as described in this Policy, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:
- Account and Identity Data: Retained for the duration of your active account plus a minimum of 5 years following account closure, to satisfy anti-money laundering record-keeping obligations.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Where deletion is not technically feasible within a particular system (e.g., backup archives), the data is isolated from active processing and overwritten at the next scheduled backup cycle.
10 Data Security
bh998 implements comprehensive technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. Our security infrastructure includes:

11 Your Rights
As a bh998 player, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. These rights may be exercised at any time by contacting [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Request":
bh998 will respond to all verified data rights requests within 30 days. In complex cases, we may extend this period by a further 60 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason within the initial 30-day period. There is no charge for exercising your data rights, unless requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case a reasonable administrative fee may apply.
12 Children's Privacy
The bh998 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect, process, or store personal data relating to any individual under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory step in the account registration process.
If bh998 becomes aware or has reasonable grounds to suspect that an account has been registered by or on behalf of a person under 21, we will immediately suspend that account, investigate the matter, and take appropriate action including the deletion of any personal data collected in connection with that account.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under the age of 21 has registered an account on bh998, please contact us immediately at [email protected] with the subject line "Underage Account Report". We take all such reports seriously and will act promptly.
13 Third-Party Services
The bh998 Platform may include content or functionality delivered by third-party service providers, including game content from Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, JILI, PG Soft, Spribe, Ezugi, NetEnt, and Microgaming. These providers operate their games within the bh998 Platform environment under contractual data processing agreements.
When you play a game provided by a third-party game studio, that provider may receive certain session data (such as player session token, bet amounts, and game outcomes) as required to operate the game and ensure fair play. bh998 ensures that all such providers are bound by data processing agreements that prohibit them from using this data for any purpose other than operating the game session.
bh998 is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or services that are independent of our Platform. If you follow any link away from bh998 to an external website, please review the privacy policy of that destination. This Privacy Policy governs only data collected and processed by bh998 through the bh998 Platform.
14 Marketing Communications
With your consent, bh998 may send you promotional communications by email or SMS regarding new games, bonuses, seasonal promotions (such as Eid offers, Pohela Boishakh bonuses, BPL cricket season promotions), and other bh998 news. You may provide or withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time through your account settings or by contacting [email protected].
Withdrawal of marketing consent will not affect your ability to use the Platform or receive transactional communications related to your account activity. Even if you opt out of marketing emails, we will continue to send you essential service notifications such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal updates, security alerts, and account status changes.
15 International Data Transfers
bh998 primarily stores and processes player data within secure server infrastructure. In certain circumstances, personal data may be transferred to or accessed from locations outside Bangladesh — for example, where our game content providers or IT infrastructure partners operate servers in other jurisdictions.
Where such international transfers occur, bh998 takes steps to ensure that your personal data receives an equivalent level of protection to that afforded within Bangladesh. This includes implementing contractual clauses in agreements with international data processors that require them to maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures and to process data only as directed by bh998.
By using the bh998 Platform and accepting this Privacy Policy, you acknowledge and consent to the international transfer of your personal data as described in this section, subject always to the safeguards described above.
16 Changes to This Policy
bh998 reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or Platform features. When we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify registered players by email to their registered address and by displaying a prominent notice on the Platform prior to the changes taking effect.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was most recently revised. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how bh998 protects your personal information. Your continued use of the Platform following notification of a revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
If you object to any changes to this Policy, you should discontinue use of the Platform and may request closure of your account by contacting our support team. Account closure requests will be processed in accordance with the procedures set out in our Terms and Conditions.
