Privacy Policy for vv44 Players

vv44 ("we", "us", "our") is Bangladesh's premier online casino and sports betting platform, accessible at vv44.io. We are fully committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player who registers on, browses, or otherwise interacts with the vv44 platform.

This Privacy Policy sets out in plain, formal terms exactly what personal data we collect about you, the purposes for which that data is collected and processed, with whom it may be shared, how long it is retained, how it is protected, and what rights you hold in relation to it. This policy applies to all users of vv44.io regardless of whether they are located in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Cox's Bazar, or any other part of Bangladesh.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions, which govern the contractual relationship between you and vv44, and our Responsible Gaming Policy, which sets out the tools and resources available to support safe gambling behaviour.

vv44 collects two broad categories of personal data: data you provide to us directly, and data we collect automatically as you use the platform.

Data You Provide Directly:

• Registration Data: Full legal name, date of birth, email address, mobile phone number, and a username and password of your choosing.
• Identity Verification Data: Copies of government-issued identity documents (such as your National Identity Card or passport), selfie photographs for facial verification, and proof of address documents where required under our Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures.
• Payment Data: Mobile banking account numbers (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay), bank account details (Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, Islami Bank, Sonali Bank), and card details (Visa, Mastercard) used for deposits and withdrawals. Note that full card numbers are never stored directly by vv44 — card data is handled by our certified payment processing partners.
• Communications Data: Messages you send to our customer support team via live chat, email, or WhatsApp, including the content and timing of those communications.
• Preferences & Settings: Responsible gaming settings you configure on your account, such as deposit limits and self-exclusion requests.

Data We Collect Automatically:

• Technical Data: Your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, and device identifiers.
• Usage Data: Pages visited on the platform, game sessions played, bets placed, betting history, amounts wagered, session durations, and clickstream data.
• Transaction Data: A complete record of all deposits, withdrawals, bonus credits, and wagering activity associated with your account.
• Cookie & Tracking Data: Data collected via cookies, pixels, and similar technologies as described in Section 7 of this policy.
• Geolocation Data: Approximate location data derived from your IP address, used to confirm that you are accessing the platform from a permitted location.

vv44 collects personal data through the following mechanisms:

• Direct interactions: When you complete the registration form, submit identity verification documents, make a deposit or withdrawal request, contact our support team, or update your account settings, you are providing us with data directly.
• Automated technologies: As you browse and use the vv44 platform, our servers, analytics systems, and cookies automatically record technical and usage data as described in Section 2.
• Payment processing partners: When you initiate a financial transaction, our payment partners (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and others) share transaction confirmation data with vv44 so that your account balance can be updated accurately.
• Identity verification services: Where third-party KYC providers are used to verify your identity documents or date of birth, those providers may return verification results and associated data to vv44.
• Game providers: Our certified game technology partners — including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Ezugi, NetEnt, Microgaming, and Spribe — may share session data, game results, and related technical information with vv44 for the purposes of account management and dispute resolution.

vv44 processes your personal data only where a valid legal basis exists for doing so. The primary legal bases on which vv44 relies are as follows:

• Contract Performance: Processing that is necessary to create and manage your account, process deposits and withdrawals, settle bets, and deliver the core services you have contracted to receive from vv44.
• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) laws, know-your-customer (KYC) regulations, age verification requirements, and any other legal or regulatory obligations applicable to vv44's operations.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing carried out to protect the security and integrity of the vv44 platform, prevent fraud and prohibited conduct, improve platform performance, and conduct internal analytics — where those interests are not overridden by your fundamental privacy rights.
• Consent: Where you have provided explicit consent — for example, by opting in to receive promotional emails, SMS messages, or WhatsApp notifications — vv44 processes your contact data for marketing purposes on the basis of that consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting [email protected] or by adjusting your notification preferences within your account settings.

vv44 uses the personal data it collects for the following clearly defined purposes:

• Account Creation & Management: To set up, maintain, and secure your vv44 player account, and to verify that you meet our eligibility requirements (including the minimum age of 21 years).
• Transaction Processing: To process deposits made via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and other supported payment channels, and to facilitate withdrawals to your verified payment method.
• Identity Verification (KYC): To verify your identity in accordance with our legal and compliance obligations, including confirming your name, date of birth, and payment method ownership.
• Customer Support: To respond to your queries, resolve disputes, and provide assistance through our 24/7 live chat, email, and WhatsApp support channels.
• Platform Security & Fraud Prevention: To monitor for suspicious activity, detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and the use of automated betting tools, and to investigate any reported or suspected breaches of our Terms & Conditions.
• Responsible Gaming: To monitor betting patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour and to enforce responsible gaming tools such as deposit limits, session time limits, and self-exclusion requests.
• Platform Improvement: To analyse how players use the vv44 platform, identify performance issues, and develop and test improvements to the user experience.
• Marketing Communications: Where you have opted in, to send you information about promotions, bonuses, new game releases, seasonal offers (such as Eid, Pohela Boishakh, or BPL season campaigns), and other news relevant to your vv44 experience.
• Legal Compliance: To fulfil any reporting obligations, respond to lawful requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities, and enforce our contractual rights.

vv44 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own commercial purposes. Personal data is shared externally only in the following specific and controlled circumstances:

• Payment Processing Partners: bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, Islami Bank, Sonali Bank, Visa, and Mastercard — to facilitate the processing of deposits and withdrawals. These partners act as independent data controllers in respect of the payment transaction data they process.
• Identity Verification Providers: Certified KYC and AML compliance service providers who assist vv44 in verifying player identities and screening against relevant watchlists. These providers are contractually bound to process data only on vv44's instructions.
• Game Technology Partners: Providers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Ezugi, NetEnt, Microgaming, and Spribe, who supply the games available on the vv44 platform. Game session data is shared with these providers to operate game rounds and resolve any disputes arising from game play.
• IT & Hosting Providers: Third-party cloud infrastructure and hosting partners who provide the technical environment in which the vv44 platform operates. These providers are bound by data processing agreements and may not use vv44 player data for their own purposes.
• Legal & Regulatory Authorities: Government bodies, law enforcement agencies, and regulatory authorities in Bangladesh or other applicable jurisdictions, where vv44 is legally required or permitted to disclose information — for example, in connection with an AML investigation or a court order.
• Professional Advisers: Lawyers, auditors, and consultants acting on vv44's behalf, subject to professional confidentiality obligations.

vv44 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies — including web beacons, pixels, and local storage — to operate, secure, and improve the platform. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow the platform to remember information about your visit and enable certain features to function correctly.

vv44 uses the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the platform to function. They enable core features such as session authentication, account security, and navigation between pages. These cookies cannot be disabled without preventing the platform from operating correctly.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences — such as your selected language, last-used payment method, and responsible gaming settings — so that you do not need to re-enter them on every visit.
• Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymised data about how players use the platform, including which pages are visited most frequently and where users encounter errors. This information is used to improve platform performance and user experience. vv44 uses analytics tools that aggregate this data and do not link it to any identifiable individual.
• Marketing & Targeting Cookies: Where you have consented to receive marketing communications, these cookies help vv44 deliver promotions and content relevant to your interests, and to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the vv44 platform, including your ability to remain logged in or access personalised features. Instructions for managing cookies are available in the help section of most modern web browsers.

vv44 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The general retention principles applied by vv44 are as follows:

• Active Account Data: Personal data associated with an active player account is retained for the full duration of the account's existence on the platform.
• Closed Account Data: Following the closure of a player account — whether at the player's request, due to voluntary self-exclusion, or following enforcement action by vv44 — personal data is retained for a minimum period of five (5) years from the date of closure. This retention period reflects AML record-keeping obligations and the need to retain evidence in the event of a dispute or regulatory enquiry.
• Financial Transaction Records: Records of all deposits, withdrawals, and wagering transactions are retained for a minimum of five (5) years in accordance with financial record-keeping requirements.
• Identity Verification Documents: Copies of KYC documents (such as NID copies and passport scans) are retained for the same minimum five-year period following account closure.
• Support Communications: Records of customer support interactions are retained for a period of two (2) years from the date of the last interaction, unless a longer retention period is required in connection with an ongoing dispute.
• Marketing Consent Records: Records of your consent to, or withdrawal from, marketing communications are retained for the duration of your account plus a reasonable period thereafter to demonstrate compliance.

Once the applicable retention period has expired and no overriding legal obligation requires continued retention, vv44 will securely delete or irreversibly anonymise your personal data.

vv44 takes the security of your personal data extremely seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures designed to protect your data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser or mobile device and the vv44 platform is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols. Look for the padlock icon in your browser address bar when visiting vv44.io.
• Data Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data stored in our databases — including identity documents and financial records — is encrypted at rest using strong encryption standards.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data within vv44 is strictly role-based. Only authorised members of staff with a legitimate business need are permitted to access personal data, and all such access is logged and audited.
• Password Security: Player account passwords are stored in hashed format using a strong cryptographic algorithm. vv44 staff cannot view your password in plain text.
• Regular Security Reviews: The vv44 platform and its underlying infrastructure are subject to regular security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning.
• Incident Response: vv44 maintains documented procedures for detecting, responding to, and mitigating data security incidents. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a significant risk to your rights and freedoms, vv44 will notify affected players promptly through the registered email address associated with your account.

As a vv44 player, you hold a number of rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. vv44 is committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights in a prompt and transparent manner. Your rights are as follows:

• Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data vv44 holds about you, along with information about how that data is being processed.
• Right to Rectification: If any personal data held by vv44 about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. You can update certain details directly within your account settings; for other corrections, please contact our support team.
• Right to Erasure: In certain circumstances, you may request that vv44 delete the personal data it holds about you. This right is not absolute — vv44 may be required to retain certain data to comply with legal obligations or to defend legal claims — but we will assess each erasure request on its merits and respond accordingly.
• Right to Restriction of Processing: You may request that vv44 temporarily restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while the accuracy of the data is disputed.
• Right to Data Portability: Where technically feasible, you have the right to receive a copy of the personal data you have provided to vv44 in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where that processing is based on vv44's legitimate interests, including the use of your data for direct marketing purposes.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact our data support team. All requests are handled within a reasonable timeframe:

• Email: [email protected] (subject line: "Data Rights Request")
• WhatsApp: +880 1700 000000
• Live Chat: Available 24/7 through the platform

vv44 will verify your identity before processing any data rights request to ensure that personal data is not disclosed or altered at the instruction of an unauthorised party.

The vv44 platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. vv44 does not knowingly collect personal data from any individual under the age of 21. If you are under 21 years of age, you must not register on or use the vv44 platform in any manner.

Where vv44 discovers or has reason to believe that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21 — whether through a fraudulent registration or any other means — vv44 will take the following immediate steps:

• Suspend and permanently close the relevant account.
• Void all bets and bonus credits associated with the account.
• Return any real-money deposits made to the account, subject to the completion of appropriate verification procedures.
• Permanently delete all personal data associated with the underage user from vv44's systems, except where retention is required to demonstrate compliance with age verification obligations.

If you believe that a minor has accessed the vv44 platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. vv44 takes the prevention of underage gambling with the utmost seriousness and will act swiftly on all such reports.

The vv44 platform may, on occasion, include references to or content from third-party game providers (such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, or Spribe) and payment partners (such as bKash or Nagad). Interactions with these providers in the context of playing games or processing payments on vv44 are governed by this Privacy Policy to the extent that vv44 controls the data.

However, where third-party providers operate their own independent privacy policies — for example, in relation to the data they collect through their own payment apps or platforms — vv44 is not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you use in connection with your vv44 account, including your mobile banking provider's privacy policy.

vv44 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Updates may be made to reflect changes in our data processing practices, new legal or regulatory requirements, changes to the services we offer, or improvements in the way we communicate our data practices to players.

When material changes are made to this Privacy Policy, vv44 will notify registered players by:

• Posting the revised policy on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date prominently displayed at the top.
• Sending a notification to the email address registered to your vv44 account, where the changes are considered material to your rights or our data processing obligations.
• Displaying an in-platform notice when you next log in to your account following a material policy update.

Your continued use of the vv44 platform following the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with any changes made to this policy, you should cease using the platform and may request account closure by contacting [email protected].

We recommend that you review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how vv44 is protecting your personal data. The current version of this policy is always accessible at vv44.io/privacy-policy.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or to the way vv44 processes your personal data, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our support team using any of the following channels:

• Email: [email protected]
• WhatsApp: +880 1700 000000
• Live Chat: Available 24/7 directly through the vv44 platform
• Operating Hours: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6)
