🔐Introduction

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how kuk9 ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal information of users ("you", "your") who access or use the kuk9 website at kuk9.org and all associated services, including casino games, sports betting, account management, and payment processing. By registering an account or using the kuk9 Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein.

This Policy is written in plain language so that every user — regardless of their background — can understand how their information is handled.

⭐Your Privacy at a Glance

📋1. Information We Collect

kuk9 collects personal information from you at different stages of your relationship with the Platform. The categories below describe what we collect, why we collect it, and the context in which collection occurs.

• Registration Data Full name, date of birth, mobile number, email address, residential address

⚙️2. How We Use Your Information

kuk9 processes your personal information only for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes. We do not use your data in ways that are incompatible with the purposes for which it was collected. The following describes our primary processing purposes.

• 1Account creation and management: We use your registration data to create and maintain your kuk9 account, verify your identity, and ensure only eligible persons have access to the Platform.
• 2Payment processing: We use your financial data to process deposits, withdrawals, and refunds. We also use this information for fraud prevention, payment verification, and anti-money-laundering (AML) compliance.
• 3Customer support: We use account and transaction data to respond to your support enquiries, resolve disputes, and provide assistance with account-related issues.
• 4Legal and regulatory compliance: We use identity, financial, and gaming activity data to meet our obligations under applicable law, including KYC requirements, AML/CFT regulations, and any lawful requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities.
• 5Platform security and fraud prevention: We use technical and device data to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorised access, and abuse of the Platform. This includes monitoring for multiple account usage, bot activity, and unusual betting patterns.
• 6Responsible gaming: We use gaming activity and financial data to monitor for indicators of problem gambling behaviour and to apply responsible gaming interventions such as deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion, as described in our Responsible Gaming policy.

⚖️3. Legal Basis for Processing

kuk9 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the specific processing activity.

• 1Contractual necessity: Processing is required to perform the contract between you and kuk9, including account registration, payment processing, game delivery, and customer support.
• 2Legal obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including KYC, AML/CFT requirements, and responses to lawful authority requests.
• 3Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests in operating a secure and fair gaming platform, preventing fraud, and protecting the integrity of the Platform and its users.
• 4Consent: Where we process data for purposes beyond operational necessity — such as sending you promotional communications — we do so only on the basis of your freely given, informed consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

🤝4. Sharing Your Information

kuk9 does not sell your personal data. We do not share your information with third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. We may share your information only in the limited circumstances described below.

• 1Service providers: We share data with third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Platform, including payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard, local banks), game software providers (Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, Ezugi), KYC verification services, and customer support tools. All service providers are contractually bound to process your data only as instructed by kuk9 and to maintain appropriate security standards.
• 2Legal and regulatory authorities: We may disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or courts where we are legally required to do so, or where such disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, money laundering, or other criminal activity.
• 3Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of kuk9's business or assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. You will be notified of any such transfer and of any material changes to how your data is handled.
• 4Fraud prevention networks: We may share limited account and transaction information with recognised fraud prevention organisations where we have identified suspicious activity on your account. This sharing is subject to strict data minimisation principles.

💳5. Payment Data and Financial Information

All financial transactions on the kuk9 Platform are conducted in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT). When you make a deposit or withdrawal using bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, or any other supported payment method, the relevant payment network processes your financial credentials directly. kuk9 does not store full card numbers, full mobile wallet PINs, or full bank account passwords in our systems. We retain only the minimum transaction identifiers required for reconciliation, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance — such as a masked account number, transaction reference, and timestamp.

kuk9 applies strict payment source verification: deposits and withdrawals must originate from and return to a payment method registered in the same name as the kuk9 account holder. This policy protects you from unauthorised use of your financial accounts and helps kuk9 meet its AML obligations. Any mismatch between payment source and account identity will trigger a manual review before the transaction is processed.

🍪6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

kuk9 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device that helps us recognise returning users, maintain sessions, and understand how the Platform is used. The following types of cookies may be set when you use kuk9.

• 1Essential cookies: These are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. They enable session management, account authentication, and security features. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without impairing your ability to use the Platform.
• 2Functional cookies: These remember your preferences — such as language settings and display options — so the Platform behaves consistently across your visits.
• 3Analytics cookies: These help us understand aggregate usage patterns — which pages are visited most often, how long sessions last, and where users encounter difficulties — so we can improve the Platform experience. Analytics data is processed in aggregate and is not used to identify individual users.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies beyond essential ones may affect the functionality of the Platform. kuk9 does not use cookies to serve third-party advertisements or to track you across other websites.

🗄️7. Data Retention

kuk9 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 generally apply. Account registration data and gaming activity records are retained for the lifetime of your account plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in order to satisfy our legal and regulatory obligations including AML record-keeping requirements. Financial transaction data is retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the relevant transaction, consistent with standard financial record-keeping obligations. KYC documentation is retained for the duration of your account and for at least five (5) years after account closure. Technical logs (IP address, session data) are retained for up to twelve (12) months for security and fraud prevention purposes, after which they are deleted or anonymised.

When retention periods expire and there is no outstanding legal reason to retain data further, kuk9 securely deletes or anonymises your personal information so that it can no longer be attributed to you. Anonymised aggregated data (which cannot identify any individual) may be retained indefinitely for statistical and platform improvement purposes.

🛡️8. Data Security

kuk9 implements industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Our security measures include end-to-end HTTPS/SSL encryption for all data in transit, encrypted storage of sensitive data at rest, access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis, regular security audits and vulnerability assessments, and two-factor authentication options for account access.

While kuk9 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, kuk9 will notify affected users promptly and take all necessary remedial steps in accordance with applicable law. If you suspect any unauthorised access to your account, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

✅9. Your Privacy Rights

kuk9 respects your rights in relation to your personal data. You may exercise any of the following rights at any time by contacting our support team at [email protected]. We will respond to all valid requests within a reasonable timeframe. Some requests may be subject to identity verification before they can be processed.

• 2Right to rectification: You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data kuk9 holds about you.
• 3Right to erasure: You have the right to request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations. Requests for erasure that conflict with our regulatory retention requirements will be applied to the maximum extent possible within those constraints.
• 4Right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that kuk9 restricts the processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while you contest the accuracy of your data or object to our processing.
• 5Right to data portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract, you may request that kuk9 provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• 6Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal.

This Policy applies only to data processed by kuk9 directly on the kuk9.org Platform.
