Kirkiya Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Personal Data

At Kirkiya, your privacy is not an afterthought — it is built into how we operate. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have over your own information as a Kirkiya player in Bangladesh.

Your Privacy, Our Commitment

Six things Kirkiya does to protect your personal data — every day, for every player on the platform.

End-to-End Encryption

Every connection to the Kirkiya platform is protected by SSL/TLS encryption. Your personal data, payment details, and account credentials are encrypted in transit and at rest. No data is transmitted over unencrypted channels at any point in the Kirkiya system.

No Data Selling — Ever

Kirkiya does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. Your information is used only to operate your account, process payments, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations. That is the full list — nothing else.

Minimal Data Collection

Kirkiya collects only the personal data that is genuinely necessary to operate your account and comply with applicable regulations. We do not collect data speculatively or build profiles beyond what is needed for account management, identity verification, and payment processing.

Fraud Prevention Systems

Kirkiya uses automated fraud detection systems that analyse account activity patterns to identify suspicious behaviour. These systems protect your account from unauthorised access and protect the wider Kirkiya player community from bad actors. Data used for fraud detection is never shared externally.

Your Rights, Respected

Kirkiya respects your right to access, correct, and delete your personal data. You can request a copy of all data Kirkiya holds about you, ask us to correct inaccurate information, or request deletion of your data subject to legal retention requirements — all by contacting [email protected].

Clear Data Retention Limits

Kirkiya retains personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by applicable law. When data is no longer needed and no legal retention obligation applies, it is securely deleted from Kirkiya's systems. Retention periods are detailed in this Privacy Policy.

1 Introduction

Kirkiya ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of every player who uses the Kirkiya platform at kirkiya.io. This Privacy Policy describes how Kirkiya collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data in connection with your use of the Kirkiya website, mobile application, and all associated services.

This Privacy Policy applies to all players registered on the Kirkiya platform, including players accessing Kirkiya from Bangladesh via mobile browser, desktop browser, or the Kirkiya Android app. By registering on Kirkiya or using any part of the Kirkiya platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and that you consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described here.

Kirkiya takes its data protection responsibilities seriously. We collect only what we need, we use it only for the purposes stated in this policy, and we protect it with industry-standard security measures. If you have any questions about how Kirkiya handles your personal data, contact us at [email protected] at any time.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside Kirkiya's Terms and Conditions, which govern your use of the platform as a whole.

2 Data We Collect

Kirkiya collects personal data in three ways: data you provide directly when registering or using the platform, data collected automatically when you use the platform, and data received from third-party service providers such as payment processors and identity verification services.

Category Examples How Collected
Identity Data Full name, date of birth, national ID number, passport number Provided by you during registration or KYC verification
Contact Data Mobile phone number, email address Provided by you during registration
Payment Data Bkash or Nagad account number, transaction reference numbers Provided by you during deposit or withdrawal
Technical Data IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, device ID Collected automatically when you access the platform
Usage Data Pages visited, games played, session duration, bet history, login timestamps Collected automatically during platform use
Communications Data Support chat transcripts, emails sent to Kirkiya, WhatsApp messages Collected when you contact Kirkiya support

Kirkiya does not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, or biometric data, except where identity verification requires document scanning as part of the KYC process. In those cases, document images are processed solely for identity verification and are not retained beyond the verification period.

3 How We Use Your Data

Kirkiya uses your personal data only for the purposes listed below. We do not use your data for any purpose that is incompatible with the reason it was originally collected.

  • To create and manage your Kirkiya account, including verifying your identity and age.
  • To process deposits and withdrawals via Bkash and Nagad, and to maintain accurate transaction records.
  • To detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other prohibited activities on the platform.
  • To comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering (AML) requirements.
  • To provide customer support and respond to your enquiries via live chat, email, or WhatsApp.
  • To send you important account notifications, including deposit confirmations, withdrawal updates, and security alerts.
  • To send you promotional communications about Kirkiya bonuses and offers, where you have opted in to receive them.
  • To improve the Kirkiya platform by analysing usage patterns and identifying areas for enhancement.
  • To enforce Kirkiya's Terms and Conditions and protect the rights of all players on the platform.

You can opt out of promotional communications from Kirkiya at any time by contacting [email protected] or by using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email. Opting out of marketing communications does not affect transactional or security notifications, which are required for account operation.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

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

  • Contract performance: Processing necessary to create and manage your Kirkiya account, process payments, and deliver the services you have registered for.
  • Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including identity verification, AML checks, and record-keeping obligations.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and improving the Kirkiya service, where these interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
  • Consent: Processing for marketing communications, where you have given explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5 Data Sharing

Kirkiya does not sell your personal data to any third party. Kirkiya shares personal data with third parties only in the following limited circumstances, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:

  • Payment processors: Bkash and Nagad receive transaction data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and are bound by strict data processing agreements with Kirkiya.
  • Identity verification providers: Third-party KYC service providers receive identity document data solely for the purpose of verifying your identity and age. Verification data is not retained by these providers beyond the verification process.
  • Fraud prevention services: Anonymised or pseudonymised technical data may be shared with fraud detection service providers to identify and prevent fraudulent activity on the platform.
  • Legal authorities: Kirkiya will disclose personal data to law enforcement or regulatory authorities where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or regulatory direction.
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of Kirkiya's business, personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

Kirkiya will never share your personal data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for commercial marketing purposes. If you receive unsolicited marketing claiming to be from Kirkiya, please report it to [email protected] immediately.

6 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Kirkiya uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the kirkiya.io website and in the Kirkiya mobile app. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help Kirkiya recognise you, remember your preferences, and analyse how the platform is used.

Kirkiya uses the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function correctly. These include session cookies that keep you logged in and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery. These cannot be disabled.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and display options. These improve your experience but are not strictly necessary.
  • Analytics cookies: Collect anonymised data about how players use the Kirkiya platform, including which pages are visited most frequently and where players encounter difficulties. This data is used to improve the platform.
  • Security cookies: Used by Kirkiya's fraud detection systems to identify unusual access patterns and protect your account from unauthorised access.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the Kirkiya platform, but may affect some functionality and personalisation features.

7 Data Retention

Kirkiya retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following general retention periods apply:

  • Account data: Retained for the duration of your active Kirkiya account, plus a minimum of 5 years after account closure to comply with AML and financial record-keeping regulations.
  • Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of each transaction, as required by applicable financial regulations.
  • Identity verification documents: Retained for the duration of your account plus 5 years after closure, or longer if required by applicable law.
  • Support communications: Retained for 2 years from the date of the last communication, unless the communication relates to an ongoing dispute or legal matter.
  • Technical and usage data: Retained for up to 24 months from collection, after which it is anonymised or deleted.

When personal data is no longer required and no legal retention obligation applies, Kirkiya securely deletes or anonymises the data so that it can no longer be linked to any individual player.

8 Data Security

Kirkiya implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

  • SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the Kirkiya platform.
  • Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including payment account details and identity documents.
  • Role-based access controls that limit access to personal data to Kirkiya staff who genuinely need it to perform their job functions.
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing of the Kirkiya platform and infrastructure.
  • Two-factor authentication options for player accounts to prevent unauthorised login.
  • Automated monitoring systems that detect and alert on unusual access patterns or potential data breaches.

Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. If Kirkiya becomes aware of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you promptly via your registered contact details and take immediate steps to contain and remediate the breach.

If you suspect that your Kirkiya account has been accessed without your authorisation, contact Kirkiya support immediately via live chat. We will lock your account and investigate within minutes of receiving your report.

10 Children's Privacy

The Kirkiya platform is strictly for players aged 18 and above. Kirkiya does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18.

If you believe that a person under 18 has registered on the Kirkiya platform, please contact Kirkiya immediately at [email protected] so that we can take prompt action.
