Information We Collect
buzzbet collects personal data from players in Bangladesh through several channels: directly from you when you register an account, when you interact with our platform, and automatically through technical systems as you use our services. We collect only the data that is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. The categories of data we collect are as follows:

Identity Verification (KYC) Data
- Copy of National ID card (NID), passport, or birth certificate

buzzbet applies a minimum data principle — we collect only the personal data that is genuinely necessary to deliver our services, verify your identity, process your transactions, and comply with our legal obligations. We do not collect sensitive categories of data such as health records, political opinions, or biometric data beyond the basic proof-of-identity photographs required for KYC.
How We Use Your Data
buzzbet uses the personal data collected from you for the following defined purposes. For each purpose, we rely on a legitimate legal basis — either your consent, the performance of our contract with you, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate business interests where these do not override your privacy rights.
| Purpose | Data Used | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account creation and management | Registration data, username, password hash | Contract performance |
| Age and identity verification (KYC) | NID / passport copy, date of birth, selfie | Legal obligation, contract performance |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals | Payment method details, transaction history | Contract performance |
| Providing betting and gaming services | Account data, wagering records, session data | Contract performance |
| Fraud prevention and anti-money laundering | Transaction data, IP address, device data | Legal obligation, legitimate interest |
| Responsible gaming monitoring | Wagering patterns, session data, deposit history | Legal obligation, legitimate interest |
| Customer support communications | Contact details, communications records | Contract performance, legitimate interest |
| Platform improvement and analytics | Usage data, session data, device data | Legitimate interest |
| Promotional communications (opt-in only) | Email, mobile number, wagering preferences | Consent |
buzzbet will never use your personal data for purposes that are incompatible with the purposes for which it was collected without first notifying you and, where required by applicable law, obtaining your explicit consent. If you have opted in to receive promotional communications and wish to withdraw that consent at any time, you may do so by contacting [email protected] or updating your notification preferences within your account settings.
buzzbet only sends promotional emails, SMS messages, and in-platform notifications to players who have explicitly opted in to receive them. Players who have activated a responsible gaming cooling-off period or self-exclusion will not receive any promotional communications for the duration of that period. You can opt out of all marketing messages at any time — your access to core platform services is not conditional on receiving promotions.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
buzzbet uses cookies and similar client-side tracking technologies — including local storage and session tokens — to operate the platform effectively, maintain the security of your session, and understand how players interact with our services. This section explains what types of cookies we use and the purpose each serves.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the buzzbet platform to function. They enable core services such as keeping you logged in during a session, maintaining your account balance display in real time, and ensuring bet slip data persists while you navigate between pages. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without rendering the platform non-functional.
Analytics Cookies
buzzbet uses first-party analytics to understand aggregate player behaviour — such as which game categories are most visited, where players spend the most time, and which pages generate the highest exit rates. This data is collected at an anonymised, aggregated level and is used solely to improve the platform experience. We do not use third-party analytics services that share your behavioural data with external advertising networks.
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences — such as your preferred language setting (English) and your last-viewed game category — to provide a more personalised experience on subsequent visits. They do not track your activity outside the buzzbet platform.
What We Do Not Use
- Third-party advertising cookies or behavioural targeting pixels
- Cross-site tracking technologies that follow you across other websites
- Social media tracking pixels from external platforms
- Fingerprinting scripts designed to identify your device across sessions without a cookie
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies from specific sites. Please note that disabling essential cookies on buzzbet will prevent you from logging in and using the platform's core features. Disabling analytics and functional cookies will not affect your ability to place bets or access your account.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
buzzbet does not sell, rent, or commercially trade your personal data. We share data with third parties only where it is strictly necessary for the delivery of our services, where we are legally obligated to do so, or where you have given explicit consent. The categories of third parties with whom data may be shared are:
Payment Service Providers
To process your deposits and withdrawals, buzzbet shares the minimum necessary data with your chosen mobile financial service provider — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay. This includes the transaction amount in BDT and your registered mobile number. These providers process data under their own privacy policies and operate in compliance with Bangladesh Bank regulations. buzzbet does not share your betting history or account balance with payment providers.
Identity Verification Partners
Where enhanced KYC verification is required — particularly for high-value withdrawals or accounts flagged during routine compliance reviews — buzzbet may use a trusted identity verification partner to cross-reference the documents you submit. Such partners are bound by strict data processing agreements and may not use your data for any purpose beyond the verification task.
Legal & Regulatory Authorities
buzzbet may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, courts, or other regulatory authorities where required to do so by applicable law, by a court order, or where we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, money laundering, or serious harm. We will notify the affected player of any such disclosure to the extent permitted by law.
Business Transfers
In the event that buzzbet undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of its assets, personal data held by buzzbet may be transferred to the acquiring entity. Players will be notified of any such transfer and the applicable privacy terms governing their data going forward, prior to any transfer taking effect.
Your personal data is never shared with third-party marketing organisations, data brokers, or advertising networks. buzzbet's data sharing is limited strictly to operational necessity. If you receive unsolicited marketing from a third party claiming to be associated with buzzbet, please report it to [email protected] immediately — it is not authorised by us.
Data Security & Storage
buzzbet implements a layered security architecture to protect the personal data of all registered players. We recognise that the security of your financial and personal information is critical to the trust you place in our platform, and we invest continuously in maintaining and improving our security posture.
The following security measures are in place across the buzzbet platform:
- SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser or mobile device and buzzbet's servers is encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols, preventing interception by third parties.
- Password Hashing: Player passwords are never stored in plain text. All passwords are hashed using a modern, computationally expensive hashing algorithm before storage, making them computationally infeasible to reverse even in the event of unauthorised database access.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within buzzbet's internal systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff members can only access the data required to perform their assigned role. All access is logged and regularly audited.
- Database Encryption: Sensitive fields within buzzbet's databases — including KYC documents and payment method details — are stored in encrypted form at rest.
- Intrusion Detection: buzzbet's infrastructure includes real-time intrusion detection and automated alerting systems that flag anomalous access patterns for immediate investigation.
- Regular Security Reviews: buzzbet conducts periodic security assessments and vulnerability scans of its platform infrastructure to identify and remediate potential weaknesses proactively.
Player data is stored on servers located within secure data centre facilities. buzzbet takes reasonable steps to ensure that any third-party data processors engaged by us maintain security standards equivalent to our own. All such processors are bound by data processing agreements that impose appropriate security obligations.
buzzbet's security measures protect data on our end, but the security of your account also depends on the choices you make. Use a strong, unique password for your buzzbet account. Do not share your login credentials with anyone. If you believe your account has been accessed without your authorisation, contact [email protected] immediately so we can investigate and take action.
Your Privacy Rights
As a buzzbet player, you have the following rights with respect to the personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team at [email protected] with a clear description of your request. We will acknowledge your request within 48 hours and provide a substantive response within 10 business days (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6).
- Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of all personal data buzzbet holds about you. We will provide this in a clear, readable format. This includes your account registration data, transaction history, wagering records, and any KYC documents on file.
- Right to Rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. Minor corrections (such as updating your email address or phone number) can be made directly from your account settings panel.
- Right to Erasure: You may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing, or where the data has been processed unlawfully. Please note that certain data must be retained by buzzbet for a minimum period to comply with legal obligations — this retention is described in Section 7 below.
- Right to Restrict Processing: In certain circumstances, you may request that buzzbet limit the processing of your data — for example, while a dispute about data accuracy is being resolved.
- Right to Data Portability: Where data has been provided by you and processed on the basis of your consent or contract performance, you may request that we provide it to you in a structured, machine-readable format (such as CSV or JSON).
- Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time, with immediate effect. You may also object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interest, where you have grounds relating to your particular situation.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred prior to withdrawal.
To exercise any of the above rights, send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Request" and a clear description of what you are requesting. For security purposes, we may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request. There is no charge for exercising your privacy rights, and we will never penalise you for doing so.
Data Retention Policy
buzzbet retains personal data for the minimum period necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The retention periods for key data categories are as follows:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Legal obligation, fraud prevention |
| KYC / identity verification documents | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Legal obligation, anti-money laundering compliance |
| Transaction and financial records | Duration of account + 7 years after closure | Financial record-keeping obligations |
| Betting and wagering history | Duration of account + 3 years after closure | Responsible gaming monitoring, dispute resolution |
| Support communications | 3 years from date of last communication | Dispute resolution, quality assurance |
| Technical and usage data (logs) | 90 days from collection | Security monitoring, fraud detection |
| Marketing preference records | Duration of opt-in + 2 years after opt-out | Proof of consent management |
| Self-exclusion records | Indefinite | Responsible gaming — permanent exclusion enforcement |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised such that it can no longer be linked to any individual player. Anonymised and aggregated data (e.g., overall platform usage statistics) may be retained indefinitely for business analytics purposes, as it cannot be used to identify any specific person.
Self-exclusion records are retained indefinitely to ensure that players who have permanently excluded themselves cannot be re-enrolled, accidentally or otherwise, at any point in the future. This is a core responsible gaming safeguard and is not subject to erasure requests.
Policy Updates & Contact
buzzbet reviews this Privacy Policy periodically to ensure it remains accurate, up to date, and reflective of our current data practices. When material changes are made — for example, if we introduce a new data processing purpose, engage a new category of third-party processor, or revise our retention periods — we will notify all registered players via their registered email address at least 14 days before the updated policy takes effect.
For minor, non-material updates — such as clarifications of existing language, corrections of typographical errors, or formatting changes that do not alter the substance of the policy — the updated version will be published on this page without prior individual notification. The effective date displayed at the top of this page will always reflect the date the current version entered into force.
Continued use of the buzzbet platform following notification of a material policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you must stop using the platform and may request account closure and data deletion as described in Section 6 above.
