Privacy Policy — ak44com
At ak44com, protecting the personal data of every Bangladesh player is a core responsibility. This Privacy Policy explains in plain English exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and stored, who it may be shared with, and the rights you hold over your own data.
Our Privacy Commitments
Six core principles that govern how ak44com handles every piece of personal data belonging to our registered Bangladesh players.
All data transmitted between your device and ak44com servers is protected by industry-standard TLS/SSL encryption. Your login credentials, payment details, and personal information are never sent in plain text over the network.
ak44com does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party advertisers or data brokers under any circumstances. Your data is used exclusively for operating the platform and fulfilling our legal obligations.
We collect only the personal information genuinely required to operate your account, process payments, verify your identity, and keep the platform safe. No excessive or irrelevant data is collected beyond what each specific purpose demands.
Access to player personal data within the ak44com organisation is governed by role-based access controls. Only authorised personnel — such as compliance, support, and finance teams — can access specific categories of data relevant to their function.
You retain the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data held by ak44com at any time. Requests are handled by our support team and processed within 30 days, subject to any legal retention obligations that may apply.
Player behaviour data — including deposit frequency, session duration, and betting patterns — may be used by ak44com's responsible gaming team to identify signs of problem gambling and proactively reach out with support resources where appropriate.
1 Information We Collect
ak44com collects personal data through several channels: directly from you during registration and account management, automatically through your use of the platform, and occasionally from trusted third-party identity and payment verification partners. The categories of data we collect are described below.
1.1 Registration and Account Data

- Email address (for account communications and password recovery)

- Preferred currency (Bangladeshi Taka, BDT)
1.2 Identity Verification Data
Before processing your first withdrawal, ak44com is required to verify your identity. During this Know Your Customer (KYC) process, we collect:
- A copy or photograph of your National Identity Card (NID) issued by the Bangladesh Election Commission, or a valid passport
- A recent photograph (selfie) in some cases, to match against your identity document

- Bank account name, account number, and branch details (for bank transfer users)
- Transaction reference numbers, deposit and withdrawal amounts, timestamps, and currency

2 How We Use Your Data
ak44com processes your personal data only for legitimate, clearly defined purposes. We do not use your data for purposes that are incompatible with the reason it was originally collected. The primary purposes for which we use player data are set out below.
- Account management: Creating and maintaining your ak44com player account, verifying your identity, processing login requests, and communicating important account notifications.
- Payment processing: Facilitating deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank transfer; verifying payment method ownership; and maintaining transaction records.
- KYC and fraud prevention: Verifying that you meet the 18+ age requirement, confirming your identity, detecting and preventing fraudulent transactions, collusion, money laundering, and bonus abuse.
- Platform improvement: Analysing anonymised usage data to improve the performance, security, and content of the ak44com platform, including the cricket betting section, slots library, and live casino offering.
- Responsible gaming: Monitoring for behavioural indicators of problem gambling and, where appropriate, proactively offering deposit limits, time-out options, or self-exclusion tools to players who may be at risk.
- Marketing communications: Sending promotional offers, bonus notifications, and seasonal promotions (such as BPL season offers or Eid bonuses) to players who have opted in to marketing communications. You may opt out at any time.
- Legal compliance: Retaining records as required by applicable financial crime, anti-money laundering, and consumer protection obligations.
- Dispute resolution: Using account and transaction records to investigate and resolve player complaints and disputed outcomes fairly.
3 Data Sharing & Disclosure
ak44com does not sell your personal data to third parties. We may, however, share specific categories of data with trusted partners and authorities in the circumstances described below. All third-party partners with whom we share data are contractually bound to process that data only for the specified purpose and to apply appropriate security standards.
3.1 Payment Service Providers
To process deposits and withdrawals, we share the minimum necessary transaction and account data with our payment partners — including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and banking institutions such as City Bank, BRAC Bank, and Dutch-Bangla Bank. These partners receive only what is needed to authorise and complete the specific transaction.
3.2 Identity Verification Partners
Where automated KYC verification tools are used, identity documents and photographs submitted during verification may be processed by a trusted third-party KYC platform operating under strict data processing agreements. These partners do not retain your data beyond the verification process.
3.3 Game Content Providers
The slot and live casino games available on ak44com are provided by third-party game studios including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi. A session token and anonymised player identifier are shared with these providers to load and log your game sessions. Your full name, NID number, and payment details are never shared with game providers.
3.4 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure
ak44com may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, or other regulatory authorities where we are legally required to do so — for example, in response to a court order, a suspicious transaction report obligation, or a formal regulatory inquiry. We will notify affected players of such disclosures wherever we are legally permitted to do so.
3.5 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of the ak44com business, player data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. Affected players will be notified in advance, and the acquiring entity will be required to honour the commitments set out in this Privacy Policy.
4 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
ak44com uses cookies and similar lightweight tracking technologies on its web platform to deliver a personalised, secure, and consistent experience. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files on your device.
4.1 Types of Cookies We Use
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential / Session | Keep you logged in, maintain session state, prevent CSRF attacks | Session (deleted on browser close) |
| Functional | Remember language preference, odds format, and display settings | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Aggregate page-view data, feature usage, and error logging for platform improvement | Up to 24 months |
| Security | Device fingerprinting for fraud detection and suspicious login alerts | Up to 6 months |
4.2 Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block third-party cookies, clear cookies on exit, or browse in private/incognito mode. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from logging into your ak44com account or accessing certain platform features. Functional and analytics cookies can be disabled without affecting your ability to deposit, bet, or withdraw.
ak44com does not use advertising network cookies or cross-site behavioural tracking cookies. We do not participate in retargeting programmes that follow you across unaffiliated websites.
5 Data Retention
ak44com retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The retention periods below represent our standard policy; specific circumstances (such as an ongoing legal dispute or a regulatory investigation) may require us to retain data beyond these periods.
| Data Category | Standard Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Legal / AML compliance |
| KYC / identity documents | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Regulatory obligation |
| Transaction records | 7 years from transaction date | Financial record-keeping |
| Support communications | 3 years from last contact | Dispute resolution |
| Technical / session logs | 90 days (rolling) | Security monitoring |
| Marketing preferences | Until opt-out, then deleted within 30 days | Consent-based |
When personal data reaches the end of its retention period, ak44com will securely delete or anonymise it in a manner that makes re-identification impossible. Anonymised, aggregated data (such as historical betting statistics with no individual identifiers) may be retained indefinitely for platform analytics.
6 Data Security Measures
ak44com applies a multi-layered approach to data security, combining technical controls, organisational policies, and continuous monitoring to protect player data from unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
- Transport security: All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. The ak44com platform enforces HTTPS exclusively; plain HTTP connections are rejected and redirected.
- Data at rest: Personal data stored on ak44com servers is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Database backups are also encrypted and stored in geographically separated secure data centres.
- Password handling: Player passwords are never stored in plain text. They are hashed using a modern, salted cryptographic hashing algorithm before storage. Even ak44com staff cannot retrieve your password — only a reset is possible.
- Two-factor authentication: Players are strongly encouraged to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) via SMS OTP on their accounts. 2FA is automatically triggered for any change to payment method details or withdrawal address.
- Access controls: Internal access to production systems and player data is governed by a least-privilege policy. Staff access is logged, audited, and reviewed quarterly. Access rights are revoked immediately upon staff departure.
- Penetration testing: The ak44com platform undergoes periodic independent security assessments to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
- Incident response: In the event of a data breach that is likely to affect player rights, ak44com will notify affected players via the registered email or mobile number within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, describing the nature of the incident and recommended protective actions.
7 Your Privacy Rights

These rights may be exercised by contacting our support team at support at ak44com with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request".

Where a request cannot be fulfilled in full, we will explain the specific legal basis preventing complete compliance.
