4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The 98bd platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to support core platform functionality and to understand how members interact with the site. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function correctly. These include session cookies that keep you logged in during your visit and security cookies that help protect your account.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences, such as language settings or display options, so you do not need to re-enter them on each visit.
  • Analytics cookies: Collect aggregated, anonymised data about how visitors use the platform. This helps us identify areas for improvement without identifying individual users.

Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can choose to block or delete cookies at any time. However, disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to log in or use certain features of the 98bd platform. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions on managing cookie preferences.

Note: Cookies set by 98bd are used solely for platform operation and improvement. We do not use cookies to serve third-party advertising or to track your activity across unrelated websites.

5. Sharing Your Personal Information

98bd does not share your personal information with third parties except in the circumstances described below.

Service Providers

We work with a limited number of trusted service providers who assist in operating the platform. These may include payment processors, identity verification services, and technical infrastructure providers. These parties are permitted to access your data only to the extent necessary to perform their specific function and are required to handle it in accordance with applicable data protection standards.

Legal and Compliance Requirements

We may disclose personal information where required to do so by law, court order, or regulatory authority. This includes situations where disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, protect the safety of members, or comply with anti-money laundering obligations.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of platform assets, member data may be transferred as part of that transaction. In such cases, the receiving party would be required to honour the commitments made in this Privacy Policy.

  • We do not share data with advertisers or data brokers.
  • We do not sell member data under any circumstances.
  • Any third-party service provider with access to member data is bound by confidentiality obligations.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The specific retention period depends on the type of data and the purpose for which it was collected.

  • Account registration data is retained for the duration of your membership and for a defined period following account closure, as required for compliance purposes.
  • Transaction records are retained in accordance with financial record-keeping requirements applicable to the platform.
  • Identity verification documents are retained for the period required by applicable anti-money laundering regulations.
  • Support communications are retained for a reasonable period to allow for follow-up and quality review.

When personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected and no legal obligation requires its retention, 98bd will take steps to securely delete or anonymise it.

7. Data Security

Protecting the personal information of our members is a priority for 98bd. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures designed to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss of personal data.

  • Data transmitted between your device and the platform is encrypted using industry-standard protocols.
  • Access to personal data within our systems is restricted to personnel who require it to perform their role.
  • Payment information is handled through secure payment processing systems and is not stored in full on our servers.
  • Account activity is monitored for signs of unauthorised access or suspicious behaviour.

While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no system is entirely immune to risk. Members are encouraged to use a strong, unique password for their 98bd account and to contact support immediately if they suspect any unauthorised activity.

Your Role in Security: Keep your login credentials confidential. Do not share your password with anyone. 98bd will never ask for your password via email or chat.

9. Minors and Age Policy

The 98bd platform is strictly for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. The platform is designed and operated exclusively for adult users, and all registration processes include an age declaration requirement.

If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 18, we will take prompt steps to delete that data and close the associated account. Parents and guardians in Bangladesh are encouraged to use device-level parental controls to prevent underage access to online gambling and entertainment platforms.

Adults Only — 18+: By registering on 98bd, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age. Responsible gaming starts with honest self-assessment. If you or someone you know may have a problem with gambling, visit our Responsible Gaming page for guidance.
