If you do not agree with any aspect of this Privacy Policy, you must discontinue your use of the platform immediately.

Data Minimisation Principle: pbc 88 is committed to collecting only the personal data that is strictly necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

You may withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time by contacting [email protected] with the subject line "Unsubscribe". Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place prior to withdrawal.
Automated Decision-Making
pbc 88 uses automated systems to monitor account activity for fraud indicators, responsible gaming triggers, and bonus abuse patterns. Where an automated decision results in the restriction or suspension of your account, you have the right to request a manual review of that decision by contacting our support team. We will acknowledge manual review requests within 48 hours and provide a substantive response within 7 calendar days.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
pbc 88 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial marketing purposes. We may, however, share your personal data with carefully selected third parties in the specific circumstances described below.
Payment Processing Partners
To process deposits and withdrawals, pbc 88 shares necessary transaction data with our payment processing partners, including mobile financial service providers (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) and commercial banking partners (Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, Islami Bank, Sonali Bank). These partners process your data solely for the purpose of completing the relevant financial transaction and are contractually prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.
Identity Verification Services
We may share KYC documentation with third-party identity verification service providers for the purpose of confirming the accuracy of information you have submitted during the registration or verification process. All identity verification partners are bound by strict data processing agreements and are prohibited from retaining your documentation beyond the duration necessary to complete the verification process.
Game Content Providers
The pbc 88 platform hosts games supplied by third-party game studios including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi. These providers may receive limited technical session data (such as an anonymised player session token) to enable game functionality. They do not receive your name, contact details, or payment information.
Legal and Regulatory Disclosure
pbc 88 may disclose your personal data to competent authorities, law enforcement agencies, or regulatory bodies where we are required to do so by applicable law, court order, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of any individual or to prevent or detect financial crime. In such circumstances, pbc 88 will disclose only the minimum personal data necessary to comply with the relevant legal obligation.
No International Transfers Without Safeguards: pbc 88 does not transfer your personal data to countries outside Bangladesh without first ensuring that adequate data protection safeguards are in place. Where international transfers are necessary — for example, in connection with a game provider's technical infrastructure — we ensure that contractual data protection obligations equivalent to those applied domestically are in place with the receiving party.

pbc 88 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply to the main categories of personal data we hold.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |

Where anonymisation is applied, the resulting aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes.
Account Closure and Data Retention
Requesting the closure of your pbc 88 account does not result in the immediate deletion of all personal data associated with your account. As noted in the table above, certain categories of data are retained for defined periods following account closure in order to fulfil legal and regulatory obligations. If you would like confirmation of the specific data we hold about you following account closure, you may submit a Subject Access Request as described in the Your Rights section below.
Your Rights
pbc 88 respects your rights in relation to your personal data. The following rights are available to you as a data subject, and may be exercised by contacting our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request".
Right of Access (Subject Access Request)
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data that pbc 88 holds about you. Subject Access Requests are acknowledged within 5 business days and fulfilled within 30 calendar days. Where a request is particularly complex or voluminous, we may extend this period by a further 30 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reasons for it.
Right to Rectification
If any of the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or complete it. We will action rectification requests within 10 business days of receiving sufficient information to make the requested correction.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you have withdrawn consent and no other lawful basis for processing exists. Please note that the right to erasure is not absolute — we may retain certain data where required by law, as described in the Data Retention section above. We will respond to erasure requests within 30 calendar days.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, where you contest the accuracy of the data we hold, or where you have objected to processing based on legitimate interests and we are assessing that objection. During a restriction period, we will continue to store your data but will not process it for any other purpose without your consent.
Right to Object
Where we process your personal data on the basis of legitimate interests, you have the right to object to that processing at any time. We will cease processing upon receipt of a valid objection unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for continued processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on your consent (for example, marketing communications), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
How to Exercise Your Rights: All data rights requests should be submitted by email to [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request". Please include your registered username and a clear description of the right you wish to exercise. We may request additional identification to verify your identity before processing any data rights request. pbc 88 will not charge a fee for the exercise of data rights in standard circumstances.
Data Security
pbc 88 takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements a layered set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure.
Technical Security Measures

- Intrusion Detection: The pbc 88 platform is monitored continuously by automated intrusion detection and anomaly alerting systems that flag unusual access patterns in real time.
Organisational Security Measures
- All staff who handle personal data are subject to binding confidentiality obligations;
- Third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf are required to maintain equivalent data security standards and are bound by formal data processing agreements;
- We conduct regular internal reviews of our data security practices and update our technical measures in response to evolving security threats.
Data Breach Response

Notification will be sent to the email address registered on your account and will include a description of the nature of the breach, the categories of data affected, the likely consequences, and the measures we have taken or propose to take to address the breach.
Your Responsibility: While pbc 88 implements robust technical and organisational security measures, the security of your account also depends on you maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.

How pbc 88 Protects Your Privacy
Our data protection framework is built on six core principles that govern every decision we make about your personal information.
Every byte of data transmitted between your device and pbc 88 is protected by industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption. Your personal and financial information stays private in transit, always.
pbc 88 collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary for account management, identity verification, and payment processing. We do not gather surplus data for speculative future use.
Your personal data is never sold, rented, or traded to third-party advertisers or data brokers. We share data only with verified service partners who are bound by strict contractual data protection obligations.
We do not hold your data indefinitely. Clear retention periods apply to every category of personal data, after which records are securely deleted or anonymised in line with our retention schedule.
You have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data at any time. All data rights requests are handled by our support team within clearly defined response timeframes.
Promotional communications — including Eid bonus offers, BPL season campaigns, and platform update announcements — are sent only to players who have explicitly opted in. Opt-out is immediate and straightforward.
