§8 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

bk888 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the bk888 Platform to enhance your experience, maintain session security, and gather analytical data. The following categories of cookies are used:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Essential for the operation of the Platform, including maintaining your login session, remembering your language preference, and enabling secure financial transactions. These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting Platform functionality.
• Performance and analytics cookies: Used to collect aggregated, anonymised information about how players interact with the bk888 Platform, which pages are visited most, and where errors occur. This data helps bk888 improve Platform performance.
• Functional cookies: Used to remember your preferences and personalise your experience on bk888, such as your preferred game categories or responsible gaming settings.
• Marketing cookies: Used to deliver relevant promotional communications and track the effectiveness of bk888 marketing campaigns, where you have consented to such tracking.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the bk888 Platform. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be turned off through browser settings as they are essential for Platform operation.

§9 Data Retention

bk888 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy or as required by applicable law and the conditions of our gaming licence. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:

• Account data and KYC records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of account closure, as required under AML regulations applicable to licensed gaming operators.
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction to support financial auditing, dispute resolution, and regulatory reporting requirements.
• Customer support communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the last interaction to support dispute resolution and quality assurance processes.
• Technical and usage data: Retained in identifiable form for up to twelve (12) months, after which it is aggregated and anonymised for analytical purposes.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, bk888 will securely delete or anonymise your personal data in accordance with industry-standard data destruction procedures. Where data is anonymised rather than deleted, it can no longer be used to identify you and falls outside the scope of this Privacy Policy.

§10 Your Data Rights

Subject to applicable law and the conditions of our gaming licence, bk888 respects and upholds your rights as a data subject. The following rights are available to you:

To exercise any of the above rights, submit a written request to [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request". Please include your full name and the email address registered to your bk888 account so we can verify your identity before processing the request. bk888 will respond within thirty (30) calendar days.

§11 Children & Minors

The bk888 Platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 21 years of age or older. bk888 does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

If bk888 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21 — whether through misrepresentation during registration or any other means — the relevant account will be immediately suspended, all associated data will be securely deleted, and any funds held in the account will be handled in accordance with applicable law and our gaming licence conditions.

§12 Security Measures

bk888 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, and disclosure. These measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and bk888 servers.
• Encryption at rest for sensitive personal data stored in bk888 databases, including KYC documents and financial records.
• Role-based access controls ensuring that bk888 staff can only access the personal data necessary for their specific job function.
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for internal system access by bk888 personnel.
• Regular security audits and penetration testing conducted by independent cybersecurity specialists to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
• Incident response procedures to detect, contain, and report data security incidents within the timeframes required by our gaming licence and applicable law.

While bk888 takes all reasonable steps to secure your data, no digital transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. bk888 encourages players to use a strong, unique password for their bk888 account and to enable two-factor authentication where available. If you suspect that your account has been compromised, contact bk888 support immediately.

§13 International Data Transfers

bk888 operates under an internationally recognised gaming licence, and some of the third-party service providers we use — including KYC verification providers, cloud infrastructure operators, and fraud prevention services — may be based outside Pakistan or the jurisdiction of our gaming licence.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, bk888 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, including:

• Transfers only to countries or organisations that provide an adequate level of data protection as recognised under applicable standards.
• Use of contractual data processing agreements with all third-party recipients that impose data protection obligations equivalent to those applied by bk888.
• Where required, implementation of standard contractual clauses or equivalent legal instruments to govern cross-border data transfers.

bk888 will not transfer your personal data internationally in a manner that circumvents applicable data protection law or exposes your data to a materially lower standard of protection than that described in this Privacy Policy.

§14 Policy Updates

bk888 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or the conditions of our gaming licence. When material changes are made to this Policy, bk888 will:

• Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this Policy.
• Notify registered players by email to the address associated with their bk888 account, prior to the changes taking effect.
• Post a prominent notice on the bk888 Platform for a reasonable period following the update.

Your continued use of the bk888 Platform after the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised Policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you should cease using the Platform and close your account before the revised Policy takes effect.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how bk888 protects your information. The most current version of this Policy is always available at bk888.games/privacy-policy.
