akp48 Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how akp48 ("we", "us", "our") collects, processes, stores, and shares personal information about you when you visit and use the akp48 platform at https://akp48.bet. It applies to all users of the Platform, including visitors who browse without registering, registered account holders, and active players.

By accessing or using the akp48 Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the collection and use of your information as described herein. If you do not agree with this Policy, you should not use the Platform. This Policy should be read alongside the akp48 Terms & Conditions, which govern your use of the Platform overall.

Privacy at a Glance

1. Information We Collect

akp48 collects personal information through several channels during your use of the Platform. The categories of information we collect and their sources are as follows:

1. Registration information: When you create an akp48 account, you provide us with your mobile phone number, a password of your choice, and optionally your name. This information is required to establish and maintain your account.
2. Identity verification (KYC) information: As part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations, we may request government-issued identification documents, proof of address, and confirmation of your payment method. This information is collected to verify your identity and age, and to comply with anti-money laundering regulations.
3. Transaction information: Every deposit and withdrawal you make on akp48 is logged, including the amount, currency, payment method used (such as bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank transfer), timestamp, and transaction status. This information is necessary for account management, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance.
4. Gaming and betting activity: We record your gameplay history, including which games you played, bet amounts, outcomes, bonus usage, and session duration. This data is used to operate the Platform, resolve disputes, detect irregular patterns, and personalise your experience.
5. Technical and device data: When you access akp48, our servers automatically collect technical information including your IP address, device type and model, operating system, browser type and version, referring URL, pages visited, and session timestamps. This data helps us maintain Platform performance, diagnose errors, and detect fraud.

You are not required to provide all of the above information in order to browse the Platform, but certain features — such as account registration, making deposits, and placing bets — require the collection of specific data. If you choose not to provide information that is necessary for a particular feature, you may be unable to use that feature.

2. How We Use Your Information

akp48 uses the personal information it collects for the following specific purposes. We do not use your information for any purpose beyond those described here without first obtaining your consent:

1. Account creation and management: To register your account, verify your identity, maintain your profile, process your transactions, and provide you with access to all Platform features.
2. Payment processing: To facilitate deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, bank transfers, Visa, and Mastercard. Transaction records are maintained for accounting, audit, and regulatory compliance purposes.
3. Fraud prevention and security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, underage access, bonus abuse, and other conduct prohibited by our Terms & Conditions.
4. Customer support: To respond to your enquiries, resolve disputes, and provide assistance with account-related issues. Support communications may be recorded for quality assurance and training purposes.
5. Responsible gaming: To monitor your gambling patterns and identify potential signs of problem gambling. Where necessary, we may use this information to implement responsible gaming measures such as deposit limits, cooling-off periods, or self-exclusion.
6. Platform improvement: To analyse usage patterns, diagnose technical issues, test new features, and improve the overall performance and user experience of akp48. Where possible, we use aggregated and anonymised data for this purpose.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

akp48 processes your personal information on the following legal bases:

1. Contractual necessity: Processing is necessary to fulfil our contract with you — that is, to operate your account, process your bets and transactions, and deliver the services you have requested.
2. Legal obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with applicable law, including anti-money laundering legislation, age-verification requirements, financial record-keeping obligations, and any requests from competent regulatory or law-enforcement authorities.
3. Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in operating a secure, fair, and commercially viable gaming platform, including fraud prevention, security monitoring, and Platform analytics, where these interests are not overridden by your data-protection rights.
4. Consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your data — for example, to send you marketing communications about promotions, bonuses, or new game launches — you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting our support team. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

4. Sharing Your Information

akp48 does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

1. Service providers: We share data with carefully selected third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Platform. These include payment processors (such as bKash, Nagad, and Rocket), game content providers (such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and Spribe), fraud-detection services, cloud hosting providers, and customer support tools. All service providers are bound by data-processing agreements that restrict them from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to akp48.
2. Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: We may disclose your personal information to government bodies, regulators, law-enforcement agencies, or courts where we are legally required or permitted to do so — for example, in response to a court order, to report suspicious financial activity, or to respond to a regulatory inquiry.
3. Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of akp48's business, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. You will be notified of any such transfer and the acquiring entity will be required to honour this Policy.
4. With your consent: We may share your information with third parties in circumstances not listed above where you have given your explicit consent to such sharing. You may withdraw this consent at any time.

Where your information is transferred outside of Bangladesh to a service provider located in another country, akp48 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, such as contractual data-protection clauses or equivalent legal mechanisms.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

akp48 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Platform. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They allow us to recognise your device, remember your preferences, maintain your login session, and collect analytics data about how the Platform is used.

1. Essential cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. They maintain your login session, remember your language preference, protect against cross-site request forgery, and enable secure transactions. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without ceasing to use the Platform.
2. Analytics cookies: These cookies help us understand how players use the Platform by collecting aggregated data about page visits, session duration, and feature engagement. This data is used to improve the Platform and is not linked to your individual identity.
3. Functional cookies: These cookies remember choices you make — such as your preferred language or display settings — to provide a more personalised experience.
4. Managing cookies: Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences through the browser's settings menu. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, alert you when cookies are being sent, or delete cookies already stored on your device. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect your ability to use some features of the Platform.

6. Data Retention

akp48 retains your personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable law and our legitimate business interests. Specifically: account registration data is retained for the lifetime of your account plus a minimum of 5 years following account closure; transaction records are retained for a minimum of 7 years to satisfy financial record-keeping obligations; KYC documentation is retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of verification or account closure, whichever is later; technical and device logs are retained for up to 12 months.

When your personal information is no longer required for the purposes described in this Policy and there is no legal obligation requiring us to retain it, akp48 will securely delete or anonymise the data. Where complete deletion is not immediately possible (for example, because data exists in backup archives), we will isolate the data from further processing until deletion is possible.

7. Data Security

akp48 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit, encrypted storage of sensitive data at rest, role-based access controls restricting staff access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, regular security audits and vulnerability assessments, and multi-factor authentication requirements for administrative access to Platform systems.

While akp48 takes data security seriously and implements industry-standard protections, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, akp48 will notify you without undue delay in accordance with applicable law. To help protect your account, you should use a strong, unique password, never share your login credentials, and contact support immediately if you suspect your account has been compromised.

8. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to the personal information akp48 holds about you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team using the email address shown in the footer of this page:

1. Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data akp48 holds about you. We will provide this within 30 days of receiving a valid request.
2. Right to rectification: You may request correction of any personal data we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete. Minor corrections (such as name spelling) can be made by contacting support.
3. Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing. Erasure requests are subject to our legal retention obligations.
4. Right to restrict processing: You may request that we limit the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while we verify the accuracy of data you have contested.
5. Right to data portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract with you, and is carried out by automated means, you may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
6. Right to object: You may object to the processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis, including profiling for marketing purposes. You may also object to direct marketing at any time by contacting support.

akp48 will respond to all rights requests within 30 days of receipt. 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 for it within the initial 30-day period. We may need to verify your identity before processing a rights request.

9. Children's Privacy

akp48 is strictly an adult platform. We do not knowingly collect personal information from persons under the age of 21. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a person under 21 years of age, we will take immediate steps to delete that information and permanently close the associated account. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has registered an account on akp48, please contact our support team immediately using the email address in the footer of this page.

10. Changes to This Policy

akp48 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data-processing practices, applicable law, or the structure of the Platform. The updated Policy will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Where changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice via the Platform homepage or by direct communication to your registered contact.

Your continued use of the akp48 Platform following the effective date of any revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with the revised Policy, you must stop using the Platform and may request account closure by contacting our support team.
