Your Privacy Matters at 999bte

📋 1. Information We Collect

999bte coll ects personal data from you through several channels: directly when you register and use the platform, automatically when you interact with our website, and from third parties such as payment processors and identity verification services. The categories of information we collect are described in the table below.

Data We Do Not Collect

999bte does not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, genetic or biometric data, or data concerning health (other than responsible gaming self-declarations provided voluntarily by the player). We do not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 18.

🎯 2. How We Use Your Data

999bte processes your personal data on the basis of one or more of the following lawful grounds: the performance of a contract with you (operating your player account), compliance with a legal obligation (KYC/AML), our legitimate interests in operating a safe and sustainable gaming platform, and — where required — your explicit consent.

• Payment Processing: To facilitate deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and partner banks, and to process withdrawal requests to your verified payment method. Financial data is shared with our payment processing partners only to the extent necessary to complete each transaction.
• KYC and Fraud Prevention: To verify that you meet the minimum age requirement of 18 years, confirm your identity, detect and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, and any other illegal or policy-violating behaviour on the platform.
• Platform Operation and Improvement: To deliver the games and betting services you use, resolve technical issues, analyse platform performance, and develop new features that improve the 999bte player experience.
• Customer Support: To respond to your queries, complaints, or disputes raised via email or live chat, and to maintain records of our communications for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
• Responsible Gaming: To monitor your gambling activity for signs of problem gambling behaviour, enforce deposit limits or self-exclusion periods you have set, and send responsible gaming reminders where our systems identify elevated risk patterns.

🤝 3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

999bte does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for commercial or marketing purposes. We share your data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent strictly necessary for each purpose.

Categories of Third Parties

• Payment Service Providers: bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, and other payment processors receive the minimum financial data necessary to process your deposit and withdrawal transactions. These providers operate under their own privacy frameworks and applicable financial regulations.
• Game Providers: Third-party game studios and platforms — including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi — may receive a pseudonymous player identifier in order to deliver game sessions, record results, and calculate payouts. These providers do not receive your full identity data unless required by their own regulatory obligations.
• Identity Verification Partners: Third-party KYC service providers assist 999bte in verifying the identity and age of players. These providers process your identity documents under strict confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than identity verification on behalf of 999bte.
• Technology and Infrastructure Providers: Cloud hosting, database management, cybersecurity, and analytics service providers who support the operation of the 999bte platform. All such providers are bound by data processing agreements that restrict their use of your data to the specific services they provide to 999bte.
• Legal and Regulatory Authorities: We may be required to disclose certain player data to law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, or other government authorities in response to a lawful order, warrant, or legal obligation. We will notify you of such disclosures where permitted by law.
• Professional Advisers: Lawyers, auditors, and compliance consultants who require access to certain data in the course of providing professional services to 999bte, subject to strict confidentiality obligations.

🍪 4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

999bte uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (including pixel tags and local storage objects) on its website. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They serve a number of functions, from keeping you logged in to helping us understand how players navigate the platform.

Types of Cookies We Use

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You may control or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block third-party cookies, clear existing cookies, or receive a notification before a cookie is placed. Please note that disabling essential cookies will impair or prevent your ability to use the 999bte platform, including logging into your account.

🗓️ 5. Data Retention

999bte retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, as described in this Privacy Policy, and to comply with our legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations. The key retention periods we apply are as follows:

• Active Account Data: Personal and financial data associated with an active player account is retained for the full duration of the account's existence on the 999bte platform.
• Closed Account Data: Following the closure of a player account (whether at your request or by 999bte), we retain your identity, financial, and transaction data for a minimum of five (5) years. This retention period reflects our obligations under anti-money laundering regulations and our need to resolve any retrospective disputes, audits, or legal claims.
• KYC Documents: Identity verification documents (such as National ID copies and passport scans) are retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of submission, in accordance with KYC/AML compliance requirements.
• Communications and Support Records: Support chat transcripts and email correspondence are retained for a period of three (3) years from the date of the last communication in each case, unless a longer period is required for an ongoing dispute or legal proceeding.
• Marketing Consent Records: Records of your consent to (or withdrawal from) marketing communications are retained indefinitely to demonstrate compliance with consent requirements.
• Technical and Usage Data: Anonymised or aggregated technical and analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it no longer identifies you personally.

When the applicable retention period expires, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with your identity. 999bte conducts periodic data audits to ensure compliance with these retention schedules.

🛡️ 6. Security Measures

999bte takes the security of your personal data seriously and employs a range of technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect your information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. While no online platform can guarantee absolute security, the measures we implement represent current industry best practice for consumer-facing gaming platforms.

Technical Safeguards

• TLS/SSL Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and the 999bte servers is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS). Our site operates exclusively over HTTPS.
• Encrypted Data Storage: Sensitive data fields — including passwords (stored as salted hashes), payment account identifiers, and identity document files — are stored in encrypted form in our databases.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data within 999bte's internal systems is restricted on a role-based, need-to-know basis. Staff members can only access the specific data categories required for their job function.
• Intrusion Detection and Monitoring: Our platform is monitored continuously for anomalous traffic patterns, unauthorised access attempts, and other indicators of compromise. Security incidents trigger an immediate internal response protocol.
• Two-Factor Authentication: 999bte offers two-factor authentication (2FA) for player accounts. We strongly encourage all players to enable 2FA via their account security settings to add an additional layer of protection to their login process.

Organisational Safeguards

• All staff and contractors who handle personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations and receive training on data protection and security practices.
• Third-party vendors and partners who process personal data on our behalf are vetted for security practices and are contractually required to maintain appropriate technical and organisational safeguards.
• In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to affected individuals, 999bte will notify impacted players promptly and take immediate remedial action to contain the breach.

⚖️ 7. Your Privacy Rights

As a 999bte player, you have a number of rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. These rights are described below. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at [email protected] with your full name, registered email address, and a clear description of the right you wish to exercise. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 30 days.

• Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is sometimes called a Subject Access Request (SAR). We will provide your data in a structured, readable format.
• Right to Rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. Minor corrections (such as updating your phone number or address) can also be made directly in your account settings.
• Right to Erasure: You have the right to request the 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 no other lawful basis applies). This right does not apply where retention is required by law.
• Right to Restriction of Processing: You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while you contest the accuracy of the data or while a complaint is being investigated.
• Right to Data Portability: Where we process your data on the basis of your consent or a contract with you, and by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a portable, machine-readable format so that you can transfer it to another provider if you wish.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where it is based on our legitimate interests, including for direct marketing purposes. Where you object to direct marketing, we will cease processing your data for that purpose immediately.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing (for example, for marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal.
