bf33 Privacy Policy — How We Protect Your Personal Data

1. Who We Are

bf33 operates the online sports betting and casino platform accessible at bf33.io and all associated digital properties (collectively referred to as "the bf33 Platform"). For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, bf33 acts as the data controller responsible for the personal information collected from players who access, register for, or use the bf33 Platform.

If you have any questions about how bf33 handles your personal data, you may contact our data protection team at any time by emailing [email protected]. We aim to respond to all privacy-related enquiries within five business days.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Registration Information

When you create a bf33 account, we collect the following personal information that you provide directly:

• Full legal name as it appears on your government-issued identity document.
• Date of birth for the purpose of verifying that you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years.
• Mobile phone number (registered in Bangladesh) used for account verification and two-factor authentication.
• Email address (where provided) for account notifications and correspondence.
• Residential address where required for identity verification or payment processing purposes.

2.2 Identity Verification Documents

As part of the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process, bf33 may collect copies of government-issued identity documents including your National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driver's licence. We may also collect supporting documents such as recent utility bills, bank statements, or mobile wallet transaction records to verify your address or payment method ownership.

2.3 Financial Information

bf33 collects transaction data related to your deposits and withdrawals. This includes the payment method used (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, or Mastercard), transaction reference numbers, transaction amounts in Bangladeshi Taka (৳), and timestamps. bf33 does not store full payment card numbers or mobile banking PINs. Full card data is handled exclusively by our certified payment processing partners.

2.4 Betting and Gaming Activity

We collect records of all betting and gaming activity conducted through your bf33 account. This includes bets placed on sporting events, casino game sessions, bonus claims, wager histories, and account balance movements. This data is retained to fulfil contractual obligations, resolve disputes, and comply with responsible gaming requirements.

2.5 Technical and Device Data

When you access the bf33 Platform, our systems automatically collect certain technical data including:

• IP address and approximate geographic location.
• Device type, model, and operating system version.
• Browser type and version.

If you contact the bf33 support team by email or live chat, we retain records of those communications including your name, contact details, the nature of your query, and all correspondence exchanged. These records allow us to provide consistent and accountable customer service.

3. How We Collect Information

bf33 collects personal information through the following channels:

• Directly from you — when you register an account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, place a bet, contact support, or update your account profile.
• Automatically — through cookies, server logs, and analytics tools that capture technical and behavioural data when you use the bf33 Platform.
• From payment partners — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard may share transaction confirmation data with bf33 to facilitate payment processing and fraud prevention.
• From identity verification services — third-party KYC providers used by bf33 may supply additional verification signals derived from publicly available data sources.

9. Data Retention

bf33 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following retention principles:

• Transaction records: Deposit, withdrawal, and betting transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years following the date of each transaction.
• Identity documents: KYC documents are retained for the period required by applicable anti-money laundering regulations, which is typically five years from the end of the business relationship.
• Support communications: Customer support interactions are retained for a minimum of two years to allow for consistent handling of follow-up queries and dispute resolution.
• Marketing consent records: Records of your marketing preferences and consent history are retained for as long as your account is active and for one year following account closure.

When personal data is no longer required for its original purpose and retention period has expired, bf33 securely deletes or anonymises that data in accordance with our data disposal procedures.

10. Data Security

bf33 employs a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
