5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

5.1 What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and collect usage data to improve performance. bj44 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (web beacons, pixels, local storage) to provide a seamless, personalized, and secure experience.

5.2 Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the platform to function. These enable core features such as account login, session management, and security checks. You cannot opt out of these cookies without affecting platform functionality.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: Collect anonymized data about how users navigate the platform — which pages are visited most, how long users spend on each page, and where errors occur. This helps us improve site performance and user experience.
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, preferred payment methods, favorite games, and display options so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit.
• Marketing and Targeting Cookies: Track your browsing behavior to deliver relevant promotional offers and advertisements. These cookies are only active if you have provided your consent.

5.3 Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when cookies are being set. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the bj44 platform — for example, you may not be able to stay logged in or access personalized features.

6. Data Security

bj44 takes the security of your personal information very seriously. We implement a comprehensive set of technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using 256-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, indicated by the padlock icon in your browser address bar
• Secure Data Storage: Personal information is stored on encrypted servers hosted in secure, access-controlled data centers with physical and digital security measures
• Access Controls: Only authorized bj44 staff with a legitimate business need can access your personal information, and all staff access is logged and monitored
• Password Hashing: Your account password is never stored in plain text; it is hashed using industry-standard cryptographic algorithms
• Two-Factor Authentication: We offer optional two-factor authentication (2FA) to provide an additional layer of security for your account
• Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular internal and third-party security audits and penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities
• Fraud Monitoring: Our automated systems continuously monitor for suspicious account activity, unusual transaction patterns, and potential security breaches

Despite these measures, no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights and freedoms, we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

7. Data Retention

bj44 retains your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Specifically:

• Active Account Data: Retained for the full duration of your account's active status plus a minimum of 5 years after account closure, in accordance with AML and financial record-keeping regulations
• Transaction Records: Financial transaction records are retained for a minimum of 7 years as required by Bangladeshi financial regulations
• Identity Verification Documents: KYC documents are retained for 5 years after account closure or the last transaction, whichever is later
• Customer Support Communications: Support chat logs and email correspondence are retained for 3 years from the date of the last interaction
• Marketing Data: Marketing consent and communication records are retained until you withdraw consent, plus 1 year thereafter
• Technical Logs: Server logs, security logs, and device data are retained for 12 months

When your data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize it so that it can no longer be linked to your identity.

8. Your Rights and Choices

bj44 respects your right to control your personal information. Depending on applicable data protection laws, you may have the following rights:

8.1 Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We will provide this information in a structured, commonly used format within 30 days of your request, subject to identity verification.

8.2 Right to Rectification

If any of your personal information is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or update it. You can update basic account information (such as your email address, phone number, or residential address) directly within your account settings, or by contacting our customer support team.

8.3 Right to Erasure

You may request the deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances — for example, if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected, or if you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing. Please note that we may be unable to delete certain data that we are legally required to retain, such as transaction records and AML compliance documentation.

8.4 Right to Restrict Processing

In certain circumstances, you may request that we restrict the processing of your personal information — for example, while a dispute about the accuracy of the data is being resolved, or if you object to processing but we need to verify whether legitimate grounds override your objection.

8.5 Right to Data Portability

Where technically feasible, you may request that we provide your personal information in a portable, machine-readable format so you can transfer it to another service provider.

8.6 Right to Object to Marketing

You have the right to opt out of marketing communications from bj44 at any time. You can do this by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any marketing email, adjusting your notification preferences in your account settings, or contacting our customer support team. Please note that even if you opt out of marketing communications, we will still send you important service-related messages such as transaction confirmations and account security alerts.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to ensure the security of your data.

9. Children's Privacy

bj44 services are strictly intended for adults aged 18 years and older. We do not knowingly collect or process personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with personal information, we will take immediate steps to delete that information and close the associated account.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has registered on the bj44 platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

10. International Data Transfers

bj44 operates primarily within Bangladesh, but some of our service providers and technology partners may process or store your data in other countries. When we transfer your personal information internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place — including data processing agreements with standard contractual clauses — to provide a level of protection equivalent to that afforded under applicable Bangladeshi data protection standards.

11. Third-Party Links

The bj44 platform may contain links to third-party websites, payment portals, or game provider platforms. This Privacy Policy applies only to bj44 and does not govern the privacy practices of any third-party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit, as we are not responsible for their content or data practices.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, technology, or business operations. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email (using the address registered to your account), by posting a prominent notice on our platform, or both. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when the most recent revision was made.

We encourage you to review this Policy regularly to stay informed about how bj44 is protecting your information. Your continued use of the platform after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
