yk44 Privacy Policy — Your Data, Explained Clearly

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data processed by yk44 in connection with the operation of the yk44 platform, including the website at yk44.ws, the account registration system, the payment processing interface, the game lobby and all games offered therein, the customer support system, and all promotional communications issued by yk44.

"Personal data" in this policy means any information that identifies or can reasonably be used to identify a natural person. It includes both information you provide voluntarily (such as your name and mobile number at registration) and information collected automatically as you use the platform (such as your device IP address and session logs). This policy does not apply to anonymised or aggregated data from which no individual can be identified.

yk44 collects personal data through two primary channels: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically through your use of the platform. The categories of data we collect are:

• Registration data: mobile number, date of birth, and any additional fields completed at the account creation stage. This data is submitted voluntarily by the player and is required to create and maintain an active yk44 account.
• KYC documents: national identity card, passport, or other government-issued identification documents submitted during the identity verification process. These documents are handled in accordance with anti-money-laundering obligations and are stored securely.
• Financial data: payment wallet numbers (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay), deposit amounts, withdrawal amounts, and transaction timestamps. This data is used for processing payments and for financial record-keeping required by applicable compliance obligations.
• Technical and usage data: IP address, browser type and version, device type and operating system, time zone, pages viewed, session start and end times, and referring URLs. This data is collected automatically via server logs and standard web analytics practices each time you access the yk44 platform.
• Game activity data: game session logs, bet amounts and outcomes, bonus activations and wagering progress, and responsible gaming tool settings (deposit limits, session reminders, self-exclusion status) associated with your account.

yk44 processes your personal data only for purposes that are directly necessary for the operation of the platform and the fulfilment of our legal and contractual obligations. The specific purposes are:

• Account creation and management: verifying your identity, maintaining your account balance, processing your deposits and withdrawals, and providing you with access to the full yk44 platform.
• KYC compliance and anti-fraud: fulfilling Know Your Customer obligations, verifying age (21+), detecting and preventing fraudulent account activity, money laundering, and payment abuse.
• Responsible gaming: monitoring account activity to identify patterns consistent with problem gambling and providing access to deposit limits, session reminders, and self-exclusion tools in accordance with our responsible gaming commitment.
• Customer support: processing and responding to support requests, complaints, and account-related queries submitted by players through any support channel.
• Service improvement: analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve the platform's performance, user interface, game selection, and promotional relevance. No individual player is identified in this analysis.

yk44 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. Personal data may be disclosed to third parties only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: payment processing partners (including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard processors) and KYC verification technology providers who process data on yk44's behalf under strict data processing agreements. These providers are not permitted to use your data for any purpose other than the specific service they perform for yk44.
• Game providers: certified game studios including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Spribe, Microgaming, and Ezugi receive anonymised session data required to deliver game content and resolve technical disputes. These providers receive only the data necessary for game delivery and do not receive your full identity or financial records.
• Legal and regulatory authorities: where yk44 is required by applicable law, court order, or regulatory instruction to disclose player information. yk44 will notify the affected player of such a disclosure where legally permitted to do so, but is not required to notify in advance where disclosure is ordered by law enforcement.

yk44 does not transfer personal data outside the region where it is stored without ensuring that appropriate safeguards are in place. Where international data transfers are necessary for payment processing, they are conducted under the terms of agreements between yk44 and its payment partners that meet applicable data protection standards.

The yk44 platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain your logged-in session, remember your preferences, and collect the technical and usage data described in Section 2 of this policy. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. yk44 uses strictly necessary cookies (required for the platform to function), functional cookies (which remember your preferences such as language selection), and analytics cookies (which collect anonymised data used to improve the platform).

yk44 does not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies that share your data with external advertising networks. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for platform operation. You may manage functional and analytics cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect your experience on the platform. Continued use of the yk44 platform after being notified of cookie use constitutes acceptance of the cookie practices described in this section.

yk44 implements industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All connections to the yk44 platform are protected by SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption, which encrypts data transmitted between your device and the yk44 servers. Account access is protected by password authentication combined with mobile number OTP verification. Stored personal data, KYC documents, and financial records are held in secure, access-controlled environments with restricted staff access.

While yk44 takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, no internet-based system is completely immune to risk. You are responsible for keeping your account password confidential and for not sharing your login credentials with any third party. If you believe your yk44 account credentials have been compromised, you should change your password immediately and contact the yk44 support team. yk44 will not be liable for losses resulting from your disclosure of login credentials to third parties.

yk44 retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by applicable legal or regulatory obligations. The standard retention periods applied by yk44 are: active account data (identity, contact, financial, and game activity data) — retained for the lifetime of the account and for a minimum of five years following account closure to satisfy anti-money-laundering and compliance record-keeping requirements; KYC documents — retained for the same period as identity data above; technical and usage data — retained for up to 24 months, after which it is anonymised or deleted; support interaction records — retained for up to three years from the date of each interaction.

When personal data is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected and no legal retention obligation applies, yk44 will securely delete or anonymise the data. Anonymised data (from which no individual can be identified) may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.

The yk44 platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. yk44 does not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 21. Age is verified as part of the KYC process, and accounts confirmed to belong to players under 21 are closed immediately, with any deposited funds returned (less any bonus amounts received) and the associated personal data deleted in accordance with this policy. If you believe a person under 21 has registered on the yk44 platform, please contact the support team at once.

yk44 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable legal requirements, or the structure of the platform. When material changes are made, yk44 will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. Players are encouraged to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the yk44 platform following the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you object to any changes, you should cease using the platform and contact support to discuss account closure options.
