ik999 Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Data

1 Who We Are

ik999 is an online gaming platform operating at ik999.net, serving players across Bangladesh. When this Privacy Policy refers to "ik999", "we", "us", or "our", it means the ik999 platform and the team responsible for operating it.

ik999 is the data controller for the personal information you provide when registering and using the platform. This means we are responsible for deciding how and why your personal data is collected and used. If you have any questions about how ik999 handles your data, you can contact us at any time using the details in Section 12 of this policy.

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the ik999 website and mobile application. By registering an account at ik999, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy. If you do not agree with how ik999 handles personal data, you should not register or use the platform.

2 Data We Collect

ik999 collects personal data in several ways: directly from you when you register or use the platform, automatically when you browse the site, and from third parties such as payment processors and identity verification services. The table below summarises the main categories of data we collect.

ik999 does not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or health information unless specifically required by law or responsible gaming obligations.

3 How We Use Your Data

ik999 uses your personal data only for legitimate purposes directly related to operating the platform and serving you as a player. We do not use your data for purposes that are unrelated to your ik999 account.

• To create and manage your ik999 account and verify your identity.
• To process deposits, withdrawals, and other financial transactions on the platform.
• To detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activity.
• To comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including age verification and anti-money laundering checks.
• To provide customer support and respond to your queries and complaints.
• To send you important account notifications, such as deposit confirmations and security alerts.
• To improve the ik999 platform based on how players use it.
• To enforce our Terms and Conditions and protect the integrity of the platform.
• To support responsible gaming by monitoring for signs of problem gambling behaviour.

If you have opted in to marketing communications, ik999 may also use your contact details to send you information about promotions, bonuses, and new games. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by updating your account preferences or contacting support.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

ik999 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the specific purpose of the processing:

• Contract performance: Processing your data is necessary to fulfil our obligations to you under the ik999 Terms and Conditions, including operating your account and processing payments.
• Legal obligation: ik999 is required by law to collect and retain certain data, including identity verification records and transaction histories, for anti-money laundering and regulatory compliance purposes.
• Legitimate interests: ik999 has a legitimate interest in processing data to detect fraud, maintain platform security, and improve the service we provide to players.
• Consent: Where we rely on your consent — for example, for marketing communications — you can withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5 Data Sharing

ik999 does not sell your personal data to any third party. We share your data only where it is necessary to operate the platform or comply with legal requirements. The categories of third parties we may share data with are listed below.

• Legal and regulatory authorities: ik999 will disclose personal data to law enforcement or regulatory bodies when required to do so by law.

All third parties who receive personal data from ik999 are required to handle it securely and in accordance with applicable data protection standards. ik999 does not permit third parties to use your data for their own marketing purposes.

6 Data Retention

ik999 retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by our legal and regulatory obligations. The specific retention periods for different categories of data are as follows:

After the applicable retention period has expired, ik999 will securely delete or anonymise your personal data. If you request deletion of your account before the retention period has expired, ik999 will delete all data that is not required to be retained by law and will restrict access to any data that must be kept for legal compliance purposes.
