2. Personal Data We Collect

aq333 collects Personal Data through several channels. The categories of data we collect and the primary collection method for each are summarised in the table below, followed by more detailed explanations.

2.1 Data You Provide Directly

When you register an account via the aq333 Login page, you voluntarily provide identity and contact data. When you make a deposit or withdrawal, you provide financial data linked to your Payment Partner account. When you contact our support team at [email protected], you provide communications data. When you complete KYC verification, you upload verification documents.

2.2 Data We Collect Automatically

When you visit the aq333 Platform, our servers automatically log technical data including your IP address, device type, browser version, and the pages you access. This data is collected to maintain platform security, detect fraud, and ensure compatibility across the devices used by players across Bangladesh — from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet, Rajshahi, and Cox's Bazar.

2.3 Data from Third Parties

We may receive limited data about you from third-party sources, including identity verification outcomes from KYC service providers, fraud-risk signals from our Payment Partners, and aggregated analytics data from our analytics platform. We do not purchase Personal Data lists from data brokers.

3. How We Use Your Personal Data

aq333 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 without first informing you and, where required, obtaining your consent.

• Account Management: To create, maintain, verify, and close your aq333 account; to authenticate your aq333 Login sessions; to enforce the one-account-per-player rule; and to apply responsible gaming limits you have set.
• Transaction Processing: To process BDT deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and Bangladesh bank partners; to issue bonus credits and voucher values to your account balance; and to maintain an accurate transaction history.
• Identity & Age Verification: To confirm that you are at least 21 years of age as required by our eligibility policy; to verify that your identity matches the payment method on file; and to comply with our Know Your Customer obligations.
• Customer Support: To respond to your enquiries, complaints, and responsible gaming requests; to maintain records of support interactions; and to improve the quality of our English-language support service.
• Platform Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect and prevent money laundering, account takeover, bonus abuse, match-fixing, and other prohibited activities described in our Terms & Conditions; to investigate suspicious transactions; and to protect the integrity of cricket betting markets and casino games.
• Legal & Regulatory Compliance: To meet any applicable legal obligations; to respond to lawful requests from government authorities; and to maintain records required for financial auditing and anti-money-laundering compliance.
• Platform Improvement: To analyse usage patterns using aggregated, anonymised data in order to optimise page performance, improve game navigation, and enhance the overall experience for Bangladesh players.
• Marketing Communications (with consent): To send you promotional offers, bonus notifications, and news about new games or cricket betting markets — but only if you have opted in to receive such communications. You may opt out at any time via your account settings or by emailing [email protected].

4. Legal Basis for Processing

aq333 processes your Personal Data under one or more of the following legal bases:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing your account data, transaction data, and KYC data is necessary to perform the contract between you and aq333 as set out in our Terms & Conditions. Without this processing, aq333 cannot provide account services, accept deposits, or pay out winnings.
• Legal Obligation: Certain processing — including age verification, identity verification, and transaction record-keeping — is required to comply with applicable anti-money-laundering, responsible gaming, and financial regulations.
• Legitimate Interests: aq333 processes technical data and usage data for fraud prevention, security monitoring, and platform analytics. These interests do not override your fundamental privacy rights, and we apply appropriate safeguards.
• Consent: Where aq333 sends you marketing communications or places non-essential cookies on your device, we do so only with your prior consent. You may withdraw consent at any time as described in Section 11.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

5.1 Payment Partners

To process your deposits and withdrawals in BDT, aq333 shares the minimum necessary financial data with our Payment Partners (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, and Islami Bank). Each Payment Partner processes this data under their own privacy policies and security standards. aq333 is not responsible for the data practices of Payment Partners, and we encourage you to review their policies.

5.2 Game Providers

When you launch a game powered by a third-party Game Provider such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, or Ezugi, limited session and account data (such as a pseudonymous player token and your BDT balance for that session) is transmitted to the Game Provider's platform to enable gameplay. Game Providers do not receive your full identity data and are contractually prohibited from using session data for their own marketing purposes.

5.3 Legal & Regulatory Disclosure

aq333 may disclose your Personal Data to law enforcement authorities, government agencies, or courts if required to do so by applicable law, by a lawful order, or to prevent, detect, or prosecute criminal activity including fraud, money laundering, or match-fixing. In such cases, aq333 will disclose only the minimum data required and, where legally permissible, will notify you of the disclosure.

5.4 Service Providers

aq333 engages carefully vetted third-party service providers to assist with platform hosting, analytics, email delivery, KYC verification processing, and customer support tooling. These providers process data only on aq333's instructions, under written data processing agreements, and are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.

5.5 No Sale of Personal Data

aq333 does not and will never sell, rent, licence, or otherwise transfer your Personal Data to any third party for commercial gain. This commitment applies regardless of the value or nature of the data involved.

6. Payment Data & KYC Documentation

Financial data — including your bKash wallet number, Nagad account, bank account details, and BDT transaction amounts — is among the most sensitive data aq333 handles. We apply the following specific protections to payment and KYC data:

• Payment account numbers are stored in encrypted form and are never displayed in full in your account dashboard or in any support correspondence.
• KYC documents (NID card scans, passport copies, utility bills, bank statement screenshots) are stored in an access-controlled document vault, accessible only to authorised aq333 compliance staff.
• Card or bank account numbers are never stored in plain text on aq333 servers. All payment processing is handled via encrypted API connections to our Payment Partners.
• Withdrawal requests are matched against your verified identity to prevent funds from being transferred to accounts that do not belong to you.
• KYC documents are retained for a minimum period required by applicable financial regulations and are then securely deleted in accordance with our data retention schedule (see Section 8).

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

7.1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on return visits and to remember your session preferences. aq333 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as local storage tokens and session identifiers) to operate the Platform effectively.

7.2 Types of Cookies Used by aq333

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the Platform to function. They maintain your login session after a successful aq333 Login, remember your language preference (English), and keep your account balance display accurate during gameplay. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core Platform functionality.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymised data about how players navigate the aq333 Platform — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where players drop off. This data helps us improve page load speed and navigation for users across Bangladesh. These cookies are only placed with your consent.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies remember optional preferences such as your chosen game category, your responsible gaming reminder settings, and whether you have dismissed information notices. They improve your experience but are not strictly essential.

7.3 Managing Cookies

You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to your aq333 account and using Platform features. For instructions on managing cookies in your specific browser, refer to your browser's help documentation.

8. Data Retention

aq333 retains your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:

• Active Account Data (identity, contact, account history): Retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, to meet financial record-keeping obligations.
• KYC Verification Documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following the date of verification, in line with anti-money-laundering requirements.
• Transaction Records (deposit and withdrawal history, BDT amounts, Payment Partner references): Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction.
• Support Communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the interaction, to enable resolution of any future disputes or complaints.
• Technical & Server Log Data (IP addresses, access logs): Retained for twelve (12) months for security monitoring purposes, then automatically purged.
• Marketing Consent Records: Retained for as long as you maintain an active aq333 account, or until you withdraw consent, whichever comes first.

When data reaches the end of its retention period, it is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.

9. Data Security

aq333 implements a layered security architecture to protect your Personal Data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Our key technical and organisational security measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data in transit between your browser or app and the aq333 servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 protocols.
• Encrypted Data Storage: Sensitive data fields including identity information, payment account references, and KYC document files are stored in encrypted form at rest on our servers.
• Access Controls: Access to systems containing Personal Data is restricted to authorised aq333 staff on a need-to-know basis. All staff access is logged, monitored, and regularly reviewed. Multi-factor authentication is enforced for administrative system access.
• Intrusion Detection: aq333 operates automated systems to detect and alert on anomalous access patterns, including unusual login locations, bulk data queries, and brute-force attempts against Player accounts.
• Penetration Testing: Our platform and infrastructure undergo periodic security assessments to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
• Incident Response: In the event of a confirmed data breach that affects Player Personal Data, aq333 will notify affected Players via their registered email address without undue delay and will take all reasonable steps to contain and remediate the breach.

While aq333 applies rigorous security measures, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security. You are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your aq333 Login credentials. Never share your password with anyone, including with individuals claiming to be aq333 support staff — we will never ask for your password.

10. International Data Transfers

aq333's primary data processing infrastructure is operated to serve Bangladesh players with data processed in BST (UTC+6) timezone. However, certain third-party service providers — including Game Providers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and Microgaming — operate servers in various international locations. Where your data is transferred to providers outside Bangladesh, aq333 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

• Contractual clauses in data processing agreements that require the receiving party to protect your data to a standard equivalent to this Privacy Policy;
• Limiting data transferred to the minimum necessary for the specific service being provided (for example, Game Providers receive only a pseudonymous session token, not your full identity data);
• Conducting due diligence on the security practices of third-party providers before entering into data sharing arrangements.

11. Your Data Rights

As an aq333 player, you hold the following rights in relation to your Personal Data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us in writing at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request" and include your registered account username. aq333 will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in English.

• Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the Personal Data aq333 holds about you, along with information about how it is being processed.
• Right to Rectification: If any Personal Data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or complete it. You may also update many data fields directly from within your aq333 account dashboard.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You may request that aq333 delete your Personal Data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, where you have withdrawn consent, or where the processing was unlawful. Note that we may be required to retain certain data for the minimum legal retention periods described in Section 8, in which case we will explain which data cannot be immediately deleted and why.
• Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that aq333 restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while a dispute about the accuracy of the data is being resolved.
• Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on contractual necessity, and is carried out by automated means, you may request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing carried out on the basis of aq333's legitimate interests. You also have an absolute right to object to the use of your data for direct marketing purposes — including the right to opt out of all marketing emails from aq333 at any time.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where aq333 processes your data on the basis of consent (for example, for marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

12. Children, Minors, and the 21+ Rule

The aq333 Platform is strictly restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above. aq333 does not knowingly collect Personal Data from any person under the age of 21. If you are under 21, you must not register an account, make a deposit, or place any wager on the aq333 Platform.

If aq333 becomes aware that Personal Data belonging to a person under 21 has been collected — whether through a failed age verification check, a report from a concerned family member, or our own monitoring — we will immediately suspend the associated account, delete the data collected, and refund any deposits to the extent possible. If you believe a person under 21 may have accessed the aq333 Platform using your account or their own, please contact [email protected] immediately so we can take appropriate protective action.

13. Third-Party Links & Integrations

The aq333 Platform may contain references to third-party game providers and payment partners. While aq333 takes care in selecting its partners, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any third-party platforms. Each third-party service operates under its own independent privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with in connection with your use of aq333 — particularly bKash, Nagad, and your chosen Bangladesh bank provider.

aq333's Privacy Policy applies solely to data processed directly by aq333 within the Platform at https://aq333.cc. It does not extend to any third-party website, mobile application, or service that may be referenced from the aq333 Platform.

14. Updates to This Privacy Policy

aq333 reviews this Privacy Policy regularly and may update it to reflect changes in our data processing practices, changes in applicable law, new features added to the Platform, or feedback from our player community. The current version's effective date is displayed prominently at the top of this page.

When we make material changes to this Privacy Policy — meaning changes that significantly affect how we use your data or your rights in relation to it — we will notify you by sending an email to your registered address at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect. For minor, non-material changes (such as clarifications of existing language or corrections of typographical errors), we will update the effective date without individual notice.

Your continued use of the aq333 Platform after any updated Privacy Policy takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. If you do not agree with any changes, you must cease using the Platform and may request closure of your account by contacting [email protected].
