• Response time: Within 48 hours for data-related requests; within 14 business days for formal subject access requests

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data processed in connection with your use of the apk444 platform, including data collected during registration, account use, financial transactions, customer support interactions, and visits to the apk444.vip website.

2.1 Data You Provide Directly

When you register an account or interact with the apk444 platform, we collect the following categories of personal data that you provide to us:

• Identity data: Full legal name, date of birth, gender, nationality
• Contact data: Mobile phone number, email address, residential address
• Account credentials: Username and encrypted password
• Identity verification documents: National ID card, passport, driving licence, or other government-issued photo ID; proof of address documents
• Payment data: bKash or Nagad mobile number, Rocket account details, bank account number and sort code, Upay account reference, Visa/Mastercard partial card details as required for payment processing
• Communications: Records of your correspondence with our support team, including live chat transcripts, email exchanges, and support ticket content

2.2 Data Collected Automatically

When you access the apk444 platform, certain technical data is collected automatically by our systems:

• Device data: Device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, language settings
• Network data: IP address, mobile network operator, approximate geolocation derived from IP
• Usage data: Pages visited, games played, bet history, session duration, click patterns, search queries within the platform
• Cookie data: Session identifiers, preference cookies, analytics cookies (see Section 7 for full cookie details)

2.3 Data from Third Parties

In certain circumstances, apk444 may receive personal data about you from trusted third-party sources, including:

• Identity verification service providers used during the KYC process
• Payment processors and mobile money operators (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) confirming transaction status
• Fraud prevention and anti-money laundering screening services
• Analytics platforms that provide aggregated, anonymised audience data

apk444 processes your personal data for the following purposes. For each purpose, we have identified the lawful basis on which we rely:

We will never use your personal data for a purpose that is incompatible with the purpose for which it was originally collected without first notifying you and, where required, obtaining your consent.

apk444 does not sell your personal data. We share it only in the following limited, controlled circumstances:

4.1 Service Providers

We engage trusted third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf under strict contractual obligations. These include identity verification providers, payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and card payment gateways), cloud hosting infrastructure providers, customer support software vendors, and fraud prevention services. All such providers are contractually required to process your data only as instructed by apk444 and to maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

4.2 Game Content Providers

When you play games supplied by third-party studios — including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi — limited technical data (such as player session tokens and bet amounts) is shared with those studios to operate the games. These providers operate under their own data protection frameworks and are selected in part on the basis of their data security standards.

4.3 Legal & Regulatory Disclosure

We may disclose your personal data to competent authorities where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or regulatory directive — for example, in the context of an anti-money laundering investigation, a gambling regulatory inquiry, or law enforcement cooperation. We will notify you of any such disclosure to the extent legally permissible.

4.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a substantial part of apk444's business assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. We will notify you via the email address registered on your account before your personal data is transferred to a new data controller under such circumstances.

apk444 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any longer retention periods required by law. The following general retention periods apply:

• Account data and transaction history: Retained for a minimum of 5 years following account closure, in line with anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements
• KYC identity documents: Retained for 5 years following the completion of the verification process or account closure, whichever is later
• Customer support communications: Retained for 3 years following the resolution of the relevant support interaction
• Marketing consent records: Retained for 3 years following the withdrawal of consent or account closure
• Technical log data: Retained for 12 months, after which it is anonymised or deleted

When personal data is no longer required, we delete or irreversibly anonymise it in a manner that prevents reconstruction of the original data.

apk444 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, and disclosure. Key security measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and our servers
• AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest, including payment information and identity documents
• Multi-factor authentication requirements for staff accessing personal data systems
• Role-based access controls ensuring that staff can only access the data they require for their specific job function
• Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments conducted by independent security specialists
• Secure, access-controlled data centres with physical security protocols
• Incident response procedures with defined timelines for breach notification

While apk444 takes every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no system can guarantee absolute security. You should take steps to protect your own account by using a strong, unique password and never sharing your login credentials. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately.

7.1 What Cookies We Use

The apk444 platform uses the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session authentication tokens, security cookies, and load-balancing cookies. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
• Preference cookies: Remember your settings such as language preference, display options, and responsible gaming limit choices.
• Analytics cookies: Collect anonymised data about how players navigate the platform, which pages are most visited, and where errors occur. This data is used solely to improve the platform experience.
• Marketing cookies: Used only with your explicit consent to measure the effectiveness of our promotions and to deliver relevant offers. You can withdraw consent at any time.

7.2 Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, accept or decline specific cookies, and delete existing cookies. Please note that restricting strictly necessary cookies will impair the functionality of the apk444 platform. For detailed guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser, refer to the browser's own help documentation.

With your explicit consent, apk444 may send you promotional communications about new games, seasonal offers (such as Eid promotions, Pohela Boishakh bonuses, or BPL cricket specials), deposit bonuses, and platform updates. These communications may be sent via SMS to your registered mobile number or email to your registered email address.

You can withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time by:

• Updating your notification preferences within your Account settings
• Clicking the unsubscribe link included in any marketing email
• Contacting our support team at [email protected]

Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect your ability to use the apk444 platform or receive transactional communications necessary for the operation of your Account (such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and security alerts).

The apk444 platform is strictly for adults aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21 years of age. If we become aware that an Account has been registered by or on behalf of a person under 21, we will immediately close the Account, delete all associated personal data to the extent not required by law, and where applicable return any deposits made.

If you believe that a person under 21 has registered an Account on our platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

As a player on the apk444 platform, you hold the following rights in respect of your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request":

• Right of access: You may request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. We will provide this within 30 days of a verified request.
• Right to rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it.
• Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal data. This right is not absolute — we may be required to retain certain data to comply with legal obligations (e.g., AML record-keeping).
• Right to restriction of processing: You may ask us to suspend processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while we investigate a data accuracy dispute.
• Right to data portability: Where we process your data by automated means on the basis of your consent or a contract, you may request a machine-readable copy of your data.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
• Right to object: You may object to the processing of your data where we rely on legitimate interests as the lawful basis. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

We will respond to all verified data rights requests within 30 calendar days. In complex cases we may extend this period by a further 30 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension within the initial 30-day period.

apk444 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, platform features, or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent notice on the platform and, where appropriate, by sending a notification to your registered email address or mobile number. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the current version was published.

Your continued use of the apk444 platform following the publication of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you remain informed about how your data is being protected.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside apk444's Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which are published on this platform. Where this Privacy Policy addresses data practices that intersect with those documents — for example, how we process data in the context of responsible gaming tools such as self-exclusion or deposit limits — this Privacy Policy governs the data processing aspects specifically.
