Privacy & Data

Karikiya Privacy Policy

Your personal data belongs to you. This policy explains exactly what karikiya collects, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have over it. No jargon, no surprises.

Last Updated: 1 January 2025

How Karikiya Protects Your Privacy

Six core commitments that define how karikiya handles your personal data every single day.

256-Bit Encryption

Every piece of data you send to karikiya — from your login credentials to your payment details — is encrypted using 256-bit SSL. The same standard used by banks. Your data is unreadable to anyone who intercepts it in transit.

We Never Sell Your Data

Karikiya does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers. Your data is used to operate your account and improve your experience on karikiya — nothing else. That's a firm commitment, not a marketing line.

You Control Your Data

You have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data held by karikiya. Submit a request to [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days. Your data, your call.

Minimal Data Collection

Karikiya only collects the data we actually need to operate your account, process your transactions, and comply with legal obligations. We don't collect data for the sake of it. If we don't need it, we don't ask for it.

Clear Retention Limits

Karikiya keeps your data only for as long as it's needed. Account data is retained for the duration of your account plus a legally required period after closure. We don't hold onto data indefinitely — it gets deleted on schedule.

Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, karikiya will notify you promptly and clearly — what happened, what data was involved, and what steps we're taking. No cover-ups, no delays.

01 Introduction

Karikiya ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who uses the karikiya platform at karikiya.app. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your personal data when you register an account, make a deposit, place a bet, or simply browse the karikiya website or app.

This policy applies to all karikiya services, including the website, mobile application, live chat support, and any promotional communications we send you. By creating a karikiya account or using any part of our platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions and our Responsible Gaming Policy. Together, these three documents form the complete agreement between you and karikiya.

ℹ️
Plain English Summary We collect what we need, use it to run your account and keep things safe, and we never sell it. You can ask us to show you, correct, or delete your data at any time.

02 Data We Collect

Karikiya collects personal data in three main ways: information you provide directly, information generated by your use of the platform, and information received from third-party verification providers.

Category Examples When Collected
Identity Data Full name, date of birth, national ID number Registration & KYC verification
Contact Data Email address, phone number Registration
Financial Data bKash / Nagad / Rocket account reference, transaction history Deposits & withdrawals
Technical Data IP address, device type, browser, operating system Every platform visit
Usage Data Pages visited, games played, session duration, bet history Active platform use
Communications Data Support chat logs, email correspondence When you contact us

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or biometric data unless specifically required by law and with your explicit consent.

KYC Documents When you submit identity documents for KYC verification, those documents are processed by our licensed verification partner and are not stored on karikiya's own servers beyond the verification process.

03 How We Use Your Data

Karikiya uses your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Account management: Creating and maintaining your karikiya account, verifying your identity, and processing your login.
  • Transaction processing: Handling deposits, withdrawals, and bonus credits accurately and securely.
  • Legal compliance: Meeting our obligations under anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, and any other applicable laws.
  • Fraud prevention: Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, bonus abuse, and unauthorised account access.
  • Responsible gaming: Monitoring gameplay patterns to identify signs of problem gambling and applying responsible gaming tools where appropriate.
  • Customer support: Responding to your queries, complaints, and requests via live chat and email.
  • Platform improvement: Analysing usage data to improve the karikiya platform, fix bugs, and develop new features.
  • Marketing communications: Sending you promotional offers and updates about karikiya — only if you have opted in to receive them. You can opt out at any time.
⚠️
Marketing Opt-Out If you no longer want to receive promotional emails or SMS from karikiya, click the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or contact [email protected]. We will process your opt-out within 48 hours.

04 Legal Basis for Processing

Karikiya processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the specific purpose:

  • Contractual necessity: Processing required to fulfil our contract with you — running your account, processing transactions, and providing the karikiya service.
  • Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with AML laws, KYC regulations, tax reporting requirements, and other applicable legal obligations.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and improving the karikiya service — where these interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
  • Consent: Processing for marketing communications, where you have explicitly opted in. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

05 Data Sharing

Karikiya does not sell your personal data. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances, and only with parties who are contractually required to protect it:

  • Payment processors: bKash, Nagad, and Rocket receive the minimum data necessary to process your transactions. They operate under their own privacy policies and regulatory obligations.
  • Identity verification providers: Our licensed KYC partner receives your identity documents solely for the purpose of verifying your age and identity. They do not use this data for any other purpose.
  • Game providers: Third-party game providers may receive a pseudonymous player identifier to facilitate gameplay. They do not receive your name, contact details, or financial data.
  • Regulatory authorities: We may be required by law to share data with financial regulators, law enforcement agencies, or gaming authorities. We will only do so when legally compelled.
  • Fraud prevention services: We may share data with industry fraud prevention databases to protect karikiya and its players from fraudulent activity.
🔒
No Third-Party Marketing Karikiya never shares your contact details with third-party advertisers or marketing companies. The only marketing communications you receive from karikiya are sent by karikiya directly.

06 Cookies & Tracking

Karikiya uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, and analyse how the site is used. Here is a breakdown of the types of cookies we use:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the karikiya 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 these without disabling the platform entirely.
  • 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 karikiya — which pages are most visited, where users drop off, and how long sessions last. This data is aggregated and anonymised.
  • Marketing cookies: Used only if you have consented to receive personalised promotions. These help us show you offers that are relevant to your activity on karikiya.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the karikiya platform.


07 Data Retention

Karikiya retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a defined period after account closure, as required by law and our internal data governance policy.

Data Type Retention Period
Account & identity data Duration of account + 5 years after closure
Transaction records 7 years (regulatory requirement)
KYC documents 5 years after account closure
Support communications 3 years from last interaction
Technical & usage logs 13 months on a rolling basis
Marketing preferences Until opt-out or account closure

After the applicable retention period, your data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked back to you.

09 Data Security

Karikiya takes data security seriously and has implemented a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration.

  • Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and karikiya's servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 with 256-bit AES encryption.
  • Encryption at rest: Sensitive data stored on karikiya's servers — including financial records and identity data — is encrypted at rest.
  • Access controls: Access to personal data within karikiya is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff access is logged and audited regularly.
  • Two-factor authentication: Karikiya supports 2FA for player accounts and requires it for all internal staff accounts with access to player data.
  • Regular security audits: Karikiya's platform and infrastructure undergo regular third-party security audits and penetration testing.
  • Incident response: We maintain a documented data breach response plan. In the event of a breach affecting your data, we will notify you promptly.

While karikiya takes every reasonable precaution, no system is completely immune to security risks. You also play a role in keeping your account secure — use a strong password, enable 2FA, and never share your login details with anyone.


10 Children's Privacy

Karikiya is strictly an adult platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. Our registration process includes age verification steps to prevent minors from creating accounts.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a person under 18, we will delete that data immediately and close the associated account. If you believe a minor has registered on karikiya, please contact us at [email protected] so we can investigate and act promptly.

⚠️
Parental Controls If you share a device with minors, we strongly recommend using device-level parental controls to prevent access to karikiya. You can also use our self-exclusion tools to restrict access from a specific device.

11 Policy Updates

Karikiya may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or business operations. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players via email and display a prominent notice on the karikiya platform.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of karikiya after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.

If you disagree with any changes to this Privacy Policy, you have the right to close your karikiya account and request deletion of your personal data, subject to our legal retention obligations.
