ku9app Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. This notice explains exactly what personal data ku9app collects from Bangladesh players, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over your own information.

1. Introduction

🔎 Privacy at a Glance

🗄️

We Collect Only What We Need

ku9app collects personal data that is strictly necessary to operate your account, process payments in ৳ BDT, verify your identity, and comply with applicable legal obligations. We do not collect surplus data for speculative or undefined future uses.

🚫

We Do Not Sell Your Data

ku9app does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own commercial marketing purposes. Your data is used solely to operate and improve the ku9app Platform and to fulfil our legal obligations.

🔒

Bank-Grade Encryption

🧑‍💼

You Are in Control

You have clear rights over your personal data — including the right to access, correct, restrict processing of, and request deletion of your information — all described in detail in Section 8 of this Policy.

Bangladesh-Focused Data Practices

Our data infrastructure and processing practices are designed with Bangladesh-market players in mind. Payment data relating to bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay transactions is handled with the specific security protocols required by each payment partner.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

4.1 Payment Processors

We share the minimum necessary financial data with bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, Islami Bank, and Sonali Bank solely for the purpose of processing your deposits and withdrawals. Each payment partner operates under its own privacy and security framework.

4.2 Identity Verification Providers

KYC and AML screening is conducted in partnership with third-party identity verification service providers. These providers receive only the document data and personal identifiers necessary to complete the verification process and are prohibited from using that data for any other purpose.

4.3 Game Software Providers

ku9app's game catalogue includes titles supplied by third-party studios including Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi. These providers may receive anonymised or pseudonymised session data necessary to deliver and audit game outcomes. They do not receive your full personal profile.

4.4 Legal and Regulatory Authorities

We may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, courts, or other competent authorities where we are required to do so by law, court order, or regulatory directive, or where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of ku9app, its players, or the public.

4.5 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or restructuring involving ku9app or its parent entity, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring party as part of that transaction. You will be notified in advance of any such transfer and of any change to this Privacy Policy that results from it.

ℹ️
No Cross-Border Transfers Without Safeguards: Where personal data is transferred outside of Bangladesh, ku9app ensures that appropriate contractual, technical, and organisational safeguards are in place to maintain an equivalent level of protection to that required under applicable local law.

5. Data Retention

Account Data
Retained for the lifetime of your active account plus a minimum of 5 years following account closure, to satisfy anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

6.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Platform to operate. They include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in during a session and security tokens that protect your account from cross-site request forgery attacks. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core Platform functionality.

6.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you have made — such as your preferred language, your last visited game category, or your notification preferences — so that you do not need to re-enter these settings each time you visit. Disabling these cookies will not prevent you from using the Platform but may reduce your user experience.

6.3 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to collect anonymised and aggregated information about how players navigate the Platform, which pages are most visited, and where players encounter technical issues. This information helps our team prioritise improvements. Analytics data is not linked to your personal profile and cannot be used to identify you.

6.4 Managing Cookies

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the Platform from functioning correctly. Clearing all cookies will log you out of your ku9app account and reset any saved preferences.

7. Data Security Measures

🛡️

256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption

All data in transit between your device and ku9app's servers is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols, the same standard used by leading international financial institutions and banking platforms.

🔑

Encrypted Password Storage

Passwords are never stored in plain text. We use one-way cryptographic hashing algorithms to store password credentials, meaning that even internal staff cannot view your password. You should never share your password with anyone, including ku9app support staff.

🖥️

Secure Server Infrastructure

ku9app's data is hosted on secure, access-controlled servers with continuous monitoring, intrusion detection systems, and regular independent security audits to identify and remediate vulnerabilities promptly.
