Privacy Policy — How 98bd Handles Your Data Safely

Overview

At 98bd, we understand that trusting an online platform with your personal information is a big deal — especially when real money is involved. That is why we have built our entire data handling process around one principle: collect only what we need, protect it with the best technology available, and give you full control over your own information.

This privacy policy applies to all services provided by 98bd, including the main website at 98bd.org, the mobile application, customer support channels, and any promotional campaigns. Whether you are playing Captain Fisher, placing bets on W Live, spinning the reels on Hip Hop Panda, or simply checking match analysis, this policy covers every interaction you have with our platform.

We strongly encourage every player in Bangladesh to read this document in full before using 98bd. It is written in plain English — no confusing legal jargon — so you can clearly understand what happens with your data from the moment you land on our site.

What Information Does 98bd Collect?

98bd collects different types of information depending on how you interact with the platform. Here is a detailed breakdown:

We want to be clear: 98bd does not collect any information that is not directly related to providing our services or meeting legal requirements. We do not access your contacts, photos, microphone, or camera through the 98bd app unless you explicitly give permission — for example, when uploading a document for verification.

How Does 98bd Use Your Data?

Every piece of data 98bd collects serves a specific purpose. Here is exactly how we use your information:

• Account Management: Your identity and contact data allow us to create, maintain, and secure your 98bd account. Without this information, we cannot verify who you are or provide personalized services.
• Processing Transactions: Financial data is required to process deposits into your 98bd account and withdrawals back to your payment method. We use secure payment gateways and never store your full financial credentials on our servers.
• Legal Compliance: 98bd is required to verify player identities under anti-money laundering regulations. Your verification documents help us fulfill this legal obligation and keep the platform safe for all users.
• Improving the Platform: Usage data helps us understand which games are popular, which pages load slowly, and where players encounter issues. This allows us to continuously improve the 98bd experience for everyone in Bangladesh.
• Customer Support: When you contact 98bd support, we use your account data to identify you quickly and resolve your issue efficiently. Support conversations may be logged for quality assurance.
• Promotions and Offers: With your consent, we may use your contact details to send you information about new games, bonuses, voucher codes, and other promotions available on 98bd. You can opt out at any time.
• Fraud Prevention: Technical data such as IP addresses and device information help 98bd detect and prevent fraudulent activity, including multi-accounting, bot usage, and unauthorized access attempts.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like most modern websites, 98bd uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to enhance your browsing experience. Here is what you should know:

• Essential Cookies: These are required for 98bd to function properly. They keep you logged in, remember your language preferences, and ensure secure page navigation. You cannot disable these without breaking site functionality.
• Performance Cookies: These help us understand how players use 98bd by tracking page views, load times, and error rates. The data is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify individual users from performance cookies alone.
• Functional Cookies: These remember your choices on 98bd, such as your preferred game category or display settings, so you do not have to set them every time you visit.

98bd does not use cookies to track your activity on other websites. We do not participate in cross-site advertising networks, and we do not allow third-party advertisers to place cookies through our platform.

Does 98bd Share Your Data with Third Parties?

98bd does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone. Period. However, there are limited circumstances where we may share data with trusted third parties:

• Payment Processors: When you make a deposit or withdrawal on 98bd, your financial data is shared with our payment processing partners (bKash, Nagad, bank transfer providers) solely to complete the transaction.
• Regulatory Authorities: If required by law, 98bd may disclose player information to government agencies or regulatory bodies. This typically only happens during formal investigations.
• Security Partners: We work with cybersecurity firms to protect the 98bd platform from threats. These partners may access certain technical data to investigate security incidents but are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
• Game Providers: The companies that develop games available on 98bd, including Captain Fisher, Diving, Teen Patti, and Hip Hop Panda, may receive anonymized usage data to improve their products. They do not receive your personal details.

All third parties who handle data on behalf of 98bd are contractually required to protect your information to the same standard we maintain internally.

Data Storage and Security Measures

Protecting your data is not just a policy for 98bd — it is an operational priority embedded in everything we do. Here are the specific measures we take:

• All data transmitted between your device and 98bd servers is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS technology — the same standard used by major banks worldwide.
• Sensitive data such as passwords are hashed using bcrypt algorithms and cannot be read by anyone, including 98bd employees.
• Our servers are hosted in secure, access-controlled data centers with 24/7 monitoring, redundant power supplies, and fire suppression systems.
• We conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
• Employee access to player data is strictly limited to authorized personnel who need it to perform their job functions. All access is logged and audited.

98bd retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized so it can no longer be linked to you.
