Privacy Policy –
How Takbat Protects Your Data

Your personal data belongs to you. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information takbat collects when you use the platform, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have over it. We've written this to be clear and direct — not buried in legal language that nobody reads.

If you have questions about how takbat handles your data, contact us at [email protected] before you register. We'd rather answer your questions upfront.

What This Policy Covers

A quick overview of the key privacy commitments takbat makes to every player. The full policy follows below — these cards summarise the most important points.

What We Collect

Takbat collects the information you provide during registration, your transaction history, device and connection data, and usage patterns on the platform. We collect only what we need to operate the service.

How We Use It

Your data is used to operate your account, process deposits and withdrawals, verify your identity, prevent fraud, and improve the platform. We do not use your data for purposes unrelated to running takbat.

Who We Share It With

Takbat shares data only with payment processors (bKash, Nagad), identity verification providers, and where required by law. We do not sell your personal data to third parties — ever.

How We Protect It

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access to personal data within takbat is restricted to staff who need it to do their job. We conduct regular security reviews of our systems and processes.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data. You can also request a copy of all data takbat holds about you. Contact support to exercise any of these rights.

Cookies

Takbat uses cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how the platform is used. You can manage cookie preferences from your browser settings at any time.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Takbat ("takbat", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal data of players and visitors who use the takbat platform at takbat.xyz and the takbat mobile application.

Takbat is an online gaming and sports betting platform built for players in Bangladesh. We understand that privacy is important to our players, and we take our responsibility to protect your personal data seriously. This policy is written in plain English so you know exactly what is happening with your information.

By registering an account on takbat or continuing to use the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. This policy should be read alongside the Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming policy, both of which form part of your overall agreement with takbat.

Scope: This policy applies to all personal data collected through takbat.xyz, the takbat mobile app, and any communications between you and the takbat support team. It does not apply to third-party websites or services that may be linked from the platform.


2. Data We Collect

Takbat collects personal data in several categories depending on how you interact with the platform. Below is a breakdown of the types of data we collect and why.

Data Category Examples Why Collected
Identity Data Full name, date of birth, national ID number Account registration and KYC verification
Contact Data Email address, mobile number Account communication, withdrawal processing
Financial Data bKash/Nagad account number, transaction history Deposits, withdrawals, fraud prevention
Technical Data IP address, device type, browser, OS Security, fraud detection, platform optimisation
Usage Data Pages visited, games played, session duration Platform improvement, responsible gaming monitoring
Communications Data Support chat logs, emails sent to takbat Customer support, dispute resolution

Takbat does not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or health data, except where required for responsible gaming assessments and only with your explicit consent.


3. How We Collect Your Data

Takbat collects personal data through the following channels:

3.1 Directly From You

When you register an account on takbat, you provide your name, date of birth, email address, and mobile number. When you make a deposit or request a withdrawal, you provide your bKash or Nagad account details. When you contact support, you provide the information included in your message.

3.2 Automatically

When you use the takbat platform — whether on the website or the mobile app — we automatically collect technical data including your IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, and session activity. This data is collected using cookies, server logs, and similar tracking technologies.

3.3 From Third Parties

Takbat may receive data about you from third-party identity verification providers when you complete KYC, from payment processors when you make a deposit or withdrawal, and from fraud prevention services that help us identify suspicious activity. We only receive data from third parties where it is necessary for operating the platform safely and legally.

No Data Purchases: Takbat does not purchase personal data from data brokers or marketing lists. Every piece of data we hold about you comes from your direct interaction with the platform or from the service providers we use to operate it.


4. How We Use Your Data

Takbat uses your personal data for the following purposes. For each purpose, we have identified the legal basis that allows us to process your data.

4.1 Operating Your Account

We use your identity and contact data to create and manage your takbat account, verify your identity, process your deposits and withdrawals, and communicate with you about your account. This processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and takbat.

4.2 Fraud Prevention and Security

Takbat uses technical data, financial data, and usage data to detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activity on the platform. This includes monitoring for unusual betting patterns, duplicate accounts, and suspicious payment activity. This processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in protecting the platform and its players.

4.3 Responsible Gaming

Takbat monitors usage data to identify players who may be showing signs of problem gambling. Where our systems flag a concern, we may apply responsible gaming tools to your account. This processing is carried out in your vital interests and in the public interest. See the Responsible Gaming page for more details.

4.4 Legal Compliance

Takbat processes your data where required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering obligations, tax reporting requirements, and responses to lawful requests from regulatory authorities or law enforcement.

4.5 Platform Improvement

We use aggregated and anonymised usage data to understand how players use the takbat platform, identify areas for improvement, and develop new features. This data cannot be used to identify individual players.

No Marketing Without Consent: Takbat will not send you promotional emails or push notifications without your explicit consent. You can manage your communication preferences from your account settings at any time.


5. Sharing Your Data

Takbat does not sell your personal data. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

5.1 Payment Processors

To process your deposits and withdrawals, takbat shares your name and mobile number with bKash and Nagad. These providers process your data only as necessary to complete the transaction and are bound by their own privacy policies and applicable financial regulations.

5.2 Identity Verification Providers

When you complete KYC verification, takbat shares your identity documents and personal details with our verification partner. This is necessary to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and to confirm that you meet the eligibility requirements to use the platform.

5.3 Fraud Prevention Services

Takbat uses third-party fraud detection services that may receive technical data such as your IP address and device fingerprint. These services help us identify and block fraudulent activity on the platform.

5.4 Legal Requirements

Takbat may disclose your personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required to do so by applicable law, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of takbat, our players, or the public.

Our Commitment: Every third party that receives your data from takbat is contractually required to protect it and use it only for the specific purpose for which it was shared. We do not allow our service providers to use your data for their own marketing or commercial purposes.


6. Data Security

Takbat takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration.

  • Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and the takbat platform is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security).
  • Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data stored on takbat servers is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption algorithms.
  • Access Controls: Access to personal data within takbat is restricted to staff who need it to perform their job functions. All access is logged and audited.
  • Regular Security Reviews: Takbat conducts regular security assessments of its systems, including penetration testing and vulnerability scanning.
  • Incident Response: Takbat has a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

While takbat takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You also play a role in keeping your account secure — use a strong, unique password and do not share your login credentials with anyone.


7. Data Retention

Takbat retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by applicable law and our legitimate business interests.

  • Account Data: Retained for the duration of your account and for 5 years after account closure, in line with anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements.
  • Transaction Records: Retained for 7 years after the transaction date for financial compliance purposes.
  • KYC Documents: Retained for 5 years after account closure or the date of the last transaction, whichever is later.
  • Support Communications: Retained for 2 years after the conversation is closed, unless the matter relates to an ongoing dispute.
  • Usage and Technical Data: Retained for 13 months from the date of collection, after which it is anonymised or deleted.

When data is no longer required, takbat securely deletes or anonymises it so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.


8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Takbat uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the website and mobile app. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the platform function correctly and allow us to understand how it is being used.

8.1 Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the platform to function. 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: Help us understand how players use the platform — which pages are visited most, where players drop off, and how long sessions last. This data is aggregated and anonymised.

8.2 Managing Cookies

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the takbat platform — for example, you may be logged out more frequently or lose your saved preferences.

No Third-Party Ad Cookies: Takbat does not use advertising cookies or allow third-party advertisers to place cookies on the platform. The cookies we use are limited to those necessary for operating and improving the service.


9. Your Privacy Rights

As a takbat player, you have the following rights over your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days of receiving your request.

Right of Access

Request a copy of all personal data takbat holds about you, including how it is used and who it has been shared with.

Right to Rectification

Ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. You can update basic details directly from your account settings.

Right to Erasure

Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to legal retention obligations.

Right to Restriction

Ask us to restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while a dispute about accuracy is being resolved.

Right to Portability

Receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format so you can transfer it to another service if you choose.

Right to Object

Object to processing of your data based on legitimate interests, including profiling for responsible gaming purposes, where you have grounds to do so.

Please note that some rights are subject to limitations. For example, takbat cannot delete transaction records that we are legally required to retain. Where we are unable to fulfil a request in full, we will explain why.


10. Minors

Takbat is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered an account on takbat, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will close the account and delete all associated personal data as quickly as possible.

Takbat uses age verification checks during registration and may request proof of age at any time. Accounts where the player cannot confirm they are 18 or older will be suspended pending verification.


11. International Data Transfers

Takbat primarily stores and processes your data within the region. In some cases, data may be transferred to or processed by service providers located outside Bangladesh — for example, cloud infrastructure providers or fraud detection services.

Where such transfers occur, takbat ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, including contractual data protection clauses with the receiving party. We do not transfer your data to countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without implementing appropriate safeguards.


12. Changes to This Policy

Takbat may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or platform features. When we make changes, the updated policy will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.

For material changes — those that significantly affect how we use your personal data — takbat will notify you via email or in-platform notification before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the platform after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically so you stay informed about how takbat protects your data.
