yk99 Privacy Policy — How We Handle Your Data
yk99 is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player on our Bangladesh online casino and sports betting platform. This Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe.
1. Introduction
yk99 ("we", "us", "our") operates the online casino and sports betting platform accessible at yk99.bet. We collect and process personal data about the players who use our platform ("you", "your") in order to deliver our services, ensure the security of accounts and financial transactions, comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, and improve your experience on yk99.
This Privacy Policy describes in detail the categories of personal data we collect, the purposes for which we use that data, the parties with whom we may share it, the security measures we apply to protect it, and the rights available to you in respect of your personal data. Please read this Policy carefully. If you have any questions, contact us at [email protected].
2. Privacy at a Glance
The following cards summarise the key principles of this Policy. The full legal text of each topic follows in the sections below. In any conflict between this summary and the full text, the full text governs.
3. Information We Collect
yk99 collects personal data in two broad categories: information you provide directly to us and information collected automatically when you use our platform. We collect only what is necessary to deliver our services, maintain security, and meet our legal obligations.
Information You Provide
- Registration data: mobile number, full name, date of birth, and optionally an email address.
- Identity verification (KYC) documents: National ID card, passport, or other government-issued photo identification submitted during the verification process.
- Payment information: mobile wallet identifiers (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay account numbers) and transaction references. Full card numbers are never stored by yk99.
- Support communications: messages, emails, or chat records submitted to our customer support team.
- Responsible gaming preferences: deposit limits, session limits, or self-exclusion elections made through your account settings.
Information Collected Automatically
- Device and connection data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, and connection speed.
- Usage data: pages visited on yk99.bet, time spent on each page, navigation paths, game sessions started, bets placed, and features used.
- Cookie and tracking data: session identifiers, preference cookies, and anonymised analytics data. See Section 10 for full details.
- Fraud prevention data: transaction patterns, login timestamps, and device fingerprint data used exclusively for fraud detection and account security purposes.
yk99 does not intentionally collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or health information. If you believe you have inadvertently provided such data, please contact [email protected] and we will promptly delete it.
4. How We Use Your Information
yk99 uses personal data only for the purposes described below. We do not use your data for any purpose that is incompatible with the original reason for which it was collected without first obtaining your consent or having a separate legal basis to do so.
- Account creation and management: verifying your identity, creating your yk99 account, maintaining your account settings, and enabling you to log in securely.
- Processing transactions: handling deposits, withdrawals, bonus credits, and maintaining accurate account balance records for all transactions made via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard.
- Customer support: responding to your enquiries, resolving disputes, and providing assistance with account, payment, or game-related issues through our support team.
- Legal and regulatory compliance: conducting KYC/AML checks, complying with applicable anti-money-laundering laws, responding to lawful requests from competent authorities, and maintaining records required by law.
- Fraud prevention and security: detecting, investigating, and preventing fraudulent activity, money laundering, and other illegal or prohibited conduct on yk99.
- Platform improvement: analysing anonymised and aggregated usage data to understand how players use yk99, identify areas for improvement, test new features, and optimise the platform for mobile users in Bangladesh.
yk99 does not use your personal data for unsolicited direct marketing without your explicit consent. Where you have opted into marketing communications, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting [email protected].
5. Legal Basis for Processing
yk99 processes personal data only where it has a lawful basis to do so. The legal bases on which yk99 relies to process your personal data are set out below.
- Contractual necessity: processing required to deliver the services you have contracted for, including account management, transaction processing, and game delivery.
- Legal obligation: processing required to comply with applicable laws and regulatory requirements, including KYC/AML obligations and responses to lawful authority requests.
- Legitimate interests: processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and anonymised analytics, where yk99's legitimate business interests in maintaining a secure and improving platform are not overridden by your privacy interests.
- Consent: processing for optional marketing communications, where you have explicitly opted in. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
6. Sharing Your Information
yk99 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We share personal data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the minimum extent necessary for the stated purpose.
- Payment processors: transaction data is shared with bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard solely for the purpose of processing deposits and withdrawals. These providers are bound by their own privacy and security standards.
- Game providers: game session data (but not payment or identity data) may be shared with licensed game providers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi for the purpose of delivering and maintaining fair game outcomes.
- Fraud and AML service providers: anonymised or pseudonymised data may be shared with specialist fraud-detection and anti-money-laundering technology providers who process data strictly on our behalf and under contractual data-processing agreements.
- Legal and regulatory authorities: yk99 will disclose personal data to competent government bodies, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required to do so by law, court order, or in response to a lawful formal request.
yk99 requires all third parties who process personal data on our behalf to do so under contractual obligations that are consistent with this Privacy Policy and that impose appropriate technical and organisational security measures. We do not permit third-party partners to use your data for their own independent marketing or profiling purposes.
7. Payment Data and Financial Information
yk99 handles financial data with the highest level of care. When you make a deposit or withdrawal using bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay, the transaction is processed directly through the respective payment provider's secure gateway. yk99 stores only the minimum necessary information to reconcile your account — specifically, the transaction reference number, date, amount, and the partial identifier of the payment method used (for example, the last four digits of a mobile wallet number). Full payment credentials are never stored on yk99 servers.
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
yk99.bet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly and to understand how players use our site. We use three categories of cookie on yk99.bet.
- Essential cookies: strictly necessary for the platform to function, including session cookies that keep you logged in during your visit and security cookies that help detect fraudulent activity. These cannot be disabled without breaking core site functionality.
- Analytics cookies: anonymised cookies that help yk99 understand which pages and features are most used, where players navigate from, and how the mobile layout performs on different devices. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual players.
- Preference cookies: cookies that remember your language preference and other optional display settings to provide a more personalised experience on return visits.
yk99 does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. We do not place third-party advertising network cookies on yk99.bet. You may disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect certain features of the platform.
9. Data Retention
yk99 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Account data is retained for the duration of the account's active life. If you close your yk99 account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 90 days, except where retention is required by law — for example, AML regulations may require us to retain certain transaction and identity records for up to 5 years after account closure.
Support communications are retained for 2 years after the date of the last communication, to enable us to handle any follow-up queries or disputes. Anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be used to identify individual players.
10. Data Security
yk99 applies industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and yk99.bet, encrypted storage of personal data at rest, strict access controls ensuring that only authorised personnel can access personal data on a need-to-know basis, regular security audits and penetration testing of the yk99 platform, and two-factor authentication options for account access.
While yk99 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. In the unlikely event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, yk99 will notify affected players within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach and will take immediate steps to contain and remediate the incident.
11. Your Privacy Rights
As a player on yk99, you have the following rights in respect of the personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to all valid requests within 30 days of receipt. In some cases, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
- Right of access: you may request a copy of the personal data yk99 holds about you, including the categories of data, the purposes for which it is processed, and the recipients with whom it has been shared.
- Right of rectification: if any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct or update it. Account holders may also update certain details directly through their account settings.
- Right to erasure: you may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent (where consent is the lawful basis), or where processing is unlawful. This right is subject to our legal retention obligations.
- Right to restriction: you may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while we investigate a dispute about its accuracy.
- Right to object: you may object to the processing of your personal data where it is based on our legitimate interests. If you object, we will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
yk99 will not charge a fee for handling privacy rights requests unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive (for example, repetitive requests for the same data). Where a fee is charged, we will inform you in advance. We will always inform you if we are unable to fulfil a request and explain the reason.
12. Children's Privacy
yk99 is strictly an adult platform for persons aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from any individual under the age of 21. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, we will delete that data immediately and close the associated account. If you believe that a minor has registered on yk99, please notify us immediately at [email protected].
13. Changes to This Policy
yk99 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or the services we offer. Where changes are material, we will notify registered players via email or an in-platform notification at least 7 days before the changes take effect. The current version of this Policy is always available at yk99.bet/privacy-policy and is identified by its effective date at the top of the page. Your continued use of yk99 after the effective date of any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
14. Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise any of your privacy rights, or want to raise a data-related concern, please contact our privacy team. We aim to respond to all privacy enquiries within 30 days of receipt. Our support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
