Privacy & Data

Pikelak Privacy Policy –
Your Data, Your Rights, Our Commitment

At Pikelak, your privacy is not an afterthought. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have over it — written in plain language every player in Bangladesh can understand.

Last updated: January 2025

How Pikelak Protects Your Privacy

Six core privacy commitments that every Pikelak player benefits from — before you even read the full policy below.

End-to-End Encryption

Every piece of data you send to Pikelak — from your registration details to your payment information — is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS technology. Your data is never transmitted in plain text, and it is stored in encrypted form on our secure servers.

We Never Sell Your Data

Pikelak does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes. Your information is used only to operate your account, process your payments, and improve the Pikelak platform. That is it — no data brokers, no advertising networks.

Minimal Data Collection

Pikelak collects only the data that is genuinely necessary to provide you with a safe, functional gaming experience. We do not collect data for the sake of it. If we do not need it to operate your account or comply with our legal obligations, we do not ask for it.

You Control Your Data

You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of the personal data Pikelak holds about you. You can also opt out of marketing communications at any time. Pikelak makes it straightforward to exercise these rights — just contact our support team.

No Unnecessary Tracking

Pikelak uses cookies and analytics only to improve the platform experience and ensure security. We do not use third-party advertising trackers or cross-site tracking technologies. The data we collect through cookies stays within the Pikelak ecosystem.

Regulatory Compliance

Pikelak's data practices comply with applicable data protection regulations. We conduct regular internal audits of our data handling processes and update our privacy practices whenever regulations change. Your data is handled lawfully, fairly, and transparently at all times.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected by Pikelak through the platform, mobile app, and any communications between you and our support team. By using Pikelak, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

1 Who We Are

Pikelak ("we", "us", "our") is an online gaming platform operating at pikelak.com. We are the data controller responsible for the personal data you provide when using our platform. This means we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data, and we are accountable for how it is handled.

If you have any questions about how Pikelak handles your personal data, or if you wish to exercise any of your data rights, you can contact our dedicated privacy team at [email protected]. We aim to respond to all privacy-related enquiries within 5 business days.

Pikelak is committed to being transparent about who we are and how we operate. If you ever have a question about our data practices that is not answered in this Privacy Policy, please reach out — we are happy to explain.

2 Data We Collect

Pikelak collects personal data in three main ways: data you provide directly when registering and using the platform, data generated automatically through your use of the platform, and data we receive from third parties such as payment processors and identity verification services.

Data You Provide Directly

  • Full legal name and date of birth
  • Residential address and country of residence
  • Email address and phone number
  • Username and password (stored in encrypted form)
  • Government-issued ID documents submitted for KYC verification
  • Payment method details (processed securely via our payment partners)
  • Communications you send to our support team

Data Collected Automatically

  • IP address and approximate geographic location
  • Device type, operating system, and browser information
  • Pages visited, games played, and session duration
  • Deposit and withdrawal transaction history
  • Login timestamps and account activity logs
  • Cookie and session data (see Section 6 for full details)

Data from Third Parties

When you make a deposit or withdrawal, our payment processing partners share transaction confirmation data with us. When you complete KYC verification, our identity verification partner shares the result of the verification check. We do not receive your full payment card details — these are handled entirely by our PCI-DSS compliant payment partners.

Pikelak does not purchase data about you 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.

3 How We Use Your Data

Pikelak uses your personal data only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We do not use your data in ways that would surprise you or that you would not reasonably expect given the nature of an online gaming platform.

  • Account management: Creating, maintaining, and securing your Pikelak account.
  • Identity verification: Confirming your age and identity as required by our operating obligations.
  • Payment processing: Handling your deposits and withdrawals securely and accurately.
  • Customer support: Responding to your enquiries, complaints, and requests.
  • Fraud prevention: Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, money laundering, and bonus abuse.
  • Responsible gaming: Monitoring gameplay patterns to identify potential problem gambling behaviour and offer appropriate support.
  • Platform improvement: Analysing usage data to improve the performance, design, and game selection of the Pikelak platform.
  • Legal compliance: Meeting our obligations under applicable laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering requirements.
  • Marketing communications: Sending you promotional offers and updates — only if you have opted in to receive them.

Pikelak will never use your data for purposes beyond those listed above without first obtaining your explicit consent. If we want to use your data in a new way, we will notify you and give you the opportunity to opt out.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

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

  • Contract performance: Processing necessary to provide you with the services you have signed up for — including account management, payment processing, and game access.
  • Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws, including anti-money laundering regulations and age verification requirements.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing necessary for Pikelak's legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention, platform security, and improving our services — provided these interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Consent: Processing based on your explicit consent, such as sending you marketing communications. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

If you would like more information about the specific legal basis that applies to any particular processing activity, please contact our support team at [email protected].

5 Data Sharing

Pikelak does not sell your personal data. We share your data only with the categories of third parties listed below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.

Payment Processors

We share the transaction data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals with our licensed payment processing partners. These partners are contractually required to handle your data securely and to use it only for payment processing purposes.

Identity Verification Providers

When you submit KYC documents, we share them with our identity verification partner to confirm your identity and age. The verification result is shared back with Pikelak. Your documents are not retained by the verification provider beyond the period required to complete the check.

Regulatory Authorities

Pikelak may be required by law to share certain data with regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or financial intelligence units. We will only do so when legally required and will share the minimum data necessary to comply with the relevant obligation.

Technology Service Providers

We use third-party technology providers for services such as cloud hosting, platform analytics, and customer support software. These providers act as data processors on our behalf and are contractually bound to process your data only on our instructions and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Pikelak will never share your personal data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for commercial purposes without your explicit consent. If you receive a communication claiming to be from Pikelak that asks for your personal data, please contact us immediately — it may be a phishing attempt.

6 Cookies & Tracking

Pikelak uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the platform, keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how players use the site so we can improve it. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.

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. You cannot opt out of essential cookies.
  • 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 navigate the platform, which games are most popular, and where technical issues occur. This data is aggregated and anonymised where possible.

Managing Cookies

You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in to your Pikelak account. For detailed instructions on managing cookies in your specific browser, refer to your browser's help documentation.

Pikelak does not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads tracking, or any other advertising network cookies. The analytics data we collect stays within the Pikelak platform and is used only to improve your experience.

7 Data Retention

Pikelak retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by our legal and regulatory obligations. The specific retention periods that apply to different categories of data are set out below.

Data Category Retention Period Reason
Account registration data Duration of account + 5 years Legal & regulatory compliance
KYC / identity documents Duration of account + 5 years Anti-money laundering obligations
Transaction records Duration of account + 7 years Financial record-keeping requirements

Game activity logs 2 years from account closure Responsible gaming monitoring

Marketing preferences Until opt-out or account closure Consent management

After the applicable retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you. If you request deletion of your account before the retention period expires, we will delete all data that we are not legally required to retain and will inform you of what data must be kept and for how long.

8 Your Rights

You have a number of rights in relation to the personal data Pikelak holds about you. These rights are set out below. To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days of receiving your request.

Right of Access

Request a copy of all personal data Pikelak holds about you, along with information about how it is used.

Right to Rectification

Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

Request deletion of your personal data where we no longer have a legal basis to retain it.

Right to Restriction

Request that we restrict processing of your data while a dispute about its accuracy or use is resolved.

Right to Portability

Request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format to transfer to another service.

Right to Object

Object to processing of your data based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing.

Exercising your rights is free of charge. Pikelak will never penalise you for making a data rights request. If your request is complex or you have made multiple requests, we may extend our response time by up to 60 days — but we will always notify you if this is the case.

9 Data Security

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

  • All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher.
  • All data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
  • Access to personal data is restricted to Pikelak staff who need it to perform their job functions.
  • All staff with access to personal data receive regular data protection training.
  • Our platform undergoes regular security audits and penetration testing.
  • We maintain an incident response plan to handle data breaches promptly and effectively.

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, Pikelak will notify you without undue delay and will take immediate steps to contain and remediate the breach.

While Pikelak takes every reasonable precaution 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 never share your login credentials with anyone.

10 Children's Privacy

The Pikelak platform 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 under 18, you must not use Pikelak or provide any personal data to us.

If Pikelak becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 18, we will delete that data immediately and close the associated account. If you believe a minor has registered on Pikelak, please contact us at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Protecting minors is a top priority for Pikelak. We use age verification technology and manual review processes to prevent underage access to our platform. Parents and guardians who are concerned about underage gambling should use parental control software to restrict access to gaming sites.

11 Changes to This Privacy Policy

Pikelak may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or the services we offer. When we make material changes to this policy, we will notify registered players via email and display a prominent notice on the platform at least 7 days before the changes take effect.

The date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last updated. We recommend reviewing this page periodically so you are always aware of how Pikelak handles your personal data. Your continued use of the platform after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

If you disagree with any changes to this Privacy Policy, you have the right to close your account before the changes take effect. Contact our support team to initiate account closure and to request deletion of your personal data where legally permissible.
