1. Information We Collect
Personal Data You Provide Directly
When you register an account, make a deposit, request a withdrawal or contact zk44 support, you provide us with personal data. The categories of personal data we collect directly from you include:
- Identity data: your full legal name, date of birth, and government-issued identification document details (such as your National ID (NID), passport number, or driving licence number) when provided during KYC verification.
- Contact data: your mobile phone number and email address, as provided at registration and used for account verification, support communications, and security notifications.
- Financial data: records of deposits and withdrawals including the payment method used (e.g. bKash wallet number, Nagad number, Rocket number, or bank account name and number), transaction amounts in BDT, and transaction reference numbers. zk44 does not store full card numbers — card transactions are handled by certified third-party payment processors.
- Support communications: any messages, emails or other communications you send to zk44 customer support, including the content of those messages and metadata such as the date and time sent.
Data Collected Automatically
When you access or use the zk44 platform, certain technical data is collected automatically. This data is used to maintain platform performance, detect fraud and improve the user experience. Automatically collected data includes:
- Device and connection data: your IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, mobile network operator, and screen resolution. This data is used to optimise the platform for your device and to identify potentially fraudulent access attempts.
- Usage data: pages viewed, game sessions played, duration of sessions, betting activity, features accessed, and navigation paths within the platform. This data is used in aggregate to improve platform design and game catalogue decisions.
- Cookie data: zk44 uses session cookies and persistent cookies to maintain your login session, remember your preferences and detect anomalous account activity. Full details are provided in Section 5 of this Policy.
2. How We Use Your Information
Purposes of Processing
zk44 uses the personal data it collects for the following specific purposes. We only process your data for purposes that have a clear legal basis (see Section 3). The specific purposes for which we use your personal data are:
- Account management and service delivery: to create and maintain your zk44 account, process your deposits and withdrawals, verify your identity and age as required by our KYC procedures, and provide access to the platform's gaming products.
- Security and fraud prevention: to monitor account activity for signs of unauthorised access, collusion, money laundering or other fraudulent behaviour; to enforce our Terms and Conditions; and to report suspicious activity to relevant authorities where required.
- Customer support: to respond to your account queries, payment issues, technical problems and other support requests submitted to the zk44 support team via the email address on this site.
- Legal and regulatory compliance: to fulfil our obligations under applicable anti-money laundering (AML) laws, age verification requirements, and any other legal or regulatory obligations applicable to the operation of an online gaming platform serving players in Bangladesh.
- Platform improvement: to analyse aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve platform performance, identify and fix technical issues, and make decisions about the game catalogue and feature development. Aggregated data does not identify individual players.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
zk44 only processes your personal data where it has a valid legal basis for doing so. The legal bases on which zk44 relies when processing personal data are set out below. Each processing purpose described in Section 2 is linked to one or more of these legal bases:
Legal Bases Applied
- Contractual necessity: processing your identity data, contact data and financial data is necessary to perform the contract between you and zk44 (i.e. to operate your account, process payments and deliver the gaming service).
- Legal obligation: processing for KYC verification, AML compliance, age verification and the reporting of suspicious transactions is required by applicable law. zk44 is legally obligated to carry out this processing and cannot waive it at a player's request.
- Legitimate interests: processing device and usage data for fraud detection, security monitoring and platform improvement is carried out on the basis of zk44's legitimate business interest in operating a secure and high-quality platform.
- Consent: where zk44 sends you marketing communications about bonuses, promotions or new game releases, we do so on the basis of your consent, which you provide when you opt in to receive such communications at registration or in your account settings. You may withdraw this consent at any time.
4. Sharing Your Information
zk44 does not sell, rent or disclose your personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. We share your data only in the specific, limited circumstances described below. In all cases, data is shared only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose and subject to appropriate data protection safeguards.
Categories of Third-Party Recipients
Your personal data may be shared with the following categories of third parties, strictly for the purposes described:
- Payment service providers: bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay and certified bank and card payment processors receive the minimum data necessary to process your transactions (e.g. your wallet number or bank account details and the transaction amount in BDT). These providers are contractually bound to use your data only for payment processing.
- Game providers and live casino studios: providers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Ezugi, Netent and Microgaming receive session identifiers and betting data necessary to deliver the game experience. They do not receive your name, contact details or financial account information.
- Identity verification and KYC providers: third-party KYC and identity verification services that assist zk44 in verifying the identity and age of players as required by applicable regulations. These providers process your identity documents under strict data processing agreements with zk44.
- Law enforcement and regulatory authorities: zk44 may disclose personal data to police, financial intelligence units, or other competent authorities where required to do so by law, court order, or as part of our AML compliance obligations. We will notify you of any such disclosure where we are legally permitted to do so.
🔐 zk44 never shares your personal data with advertisers, data brokers, social media platforms or analytics companies for marketing profiling purposes. Any third party that receives your data from zk44 is contractually required to protect it in accordance with applicable data protection law and to use it only for the specific purpose for which it was shared.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
How zk44 Uses Cookies
zk44 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, maintain your session, and improve the user experience. The following categories of cookies are used on the zk44 platform:
- Strictly necessary cookies: these are session cookies required for the platform to function. They maintain your login state, remember your session token, and enable core features such as deposits and game loading. These cookies cannot be disabled — without them, the platform cannot operate.
- Functional cookies: persistent cookies that remember your platform preferences such as language setting and notification preferences across sessions. These improve convenience but are not required for core functionality.
- Analytics cookies: anonymised, aggregated cookies that collect data about how players navigate the platform. This data is used internally by zk44 to identify usability issues and improve the platform. No individual player is identified through analytics cookies.
You may manage cookie preferences through your device browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the platform. Disabling functional or analytics cookies will not affect your ability to play games or make transactions on zk44.
6. Data Retention
zk44 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply: account data (including your identity, contact and financial data) is retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five years following account closure, as required by applicable AML and financial record-keeping regulations. Support communications are retained for two years from the date of the interaction. Anonymised aggregated usage data (which does not identify individual players) may be retained indefinitely for platform analytics purposes.
Where you have given consent for marketing communications, your contact data for marketing purposes will be retained until you withdraw that consent. Upon withdrawal of consent, your contact details will be removed from our marketing lists within 30 days. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect the retention of your account data, which is governed by the contractual and legal retention periods above.
7. Data Security
Technical and Organisational Security Measures
zk44 implements and maintains appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Our key security measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your browser or mobile device and the zk44 platform. All connections to zk44 are forced to use HTTPS; plain HTTP connections are rejected.
- Encrypted storage of sensitive data at rest. Account passwords are stored as salted cryptographic hashes — they are never stored in plain text and cannot be retrieved by zk44 staff. Payment instrument details are tokenised by certified payment processors and are not stored on zk44 servers.
- Access controls: personal data is accessible only to zk44 staff members who need it to perform their specific job functions. All staff with access to personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations and receive data protection training.
While zk44 takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no transmission over the internet and no data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with zk44 is no longer secure, please contact us immediately via the support email address on this site.
