bq111 Privacy Policy —
Your Data, Protected
At bq111, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you hold as a user of Bangladesh's premier VIP online casino and sportsbook platform.
Privacy at the Core of Everything We Do
These six principles summarise bq111's approach to data protection. They guide every decision we make about your personal information.
Data Minimisation
bq111 collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not gather information speculatively or build profiles beyond what is required for safe, compliant platform operation.
No Sale of Your Data
bq111 does not sell, rent, or lease your personal data to third-party marketers or data brokers under any circumstances. Your information is used solely for the purposes of operating and improving the bq111 platform and meeting our regulatory obligations.
SSL Encryption
All data exchanged between your device and the bq111 platform is protected by industry-standard TLS/SSL encryption. Sensitive information such as payment details and identification documents is additionally encrypted at rest in our secure data stores.
Your Rights Respected
You hold clear, enforceable rights over your personal data — including the right to access, correct, delete, and port your information. bq111 responds to all verified data subject requests within 30 days and provides a free-of-charge service for doing so.
Clear Retention Periods
We keep your data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for, or as required by applicable law. Once the retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data lifecycle policy.
Transparent Communication
If there is ever a data breach that could affect your rights and freedoms, bq111 will notify you promptly and clearly — within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident — explaining what happened, what data was affected, and the steps we are taking to remedy the situation.

By using the bq111 platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
bq111 collects personal data through several distinct channels: directly from you during registration and account management; automatically through your use of the platform; from third-party payment and identity verification providers; and, where required, from publicly available sources for AML and fraud-prevention purposes. The table below sets out the categories of data collected, the specific data points within each category, and the primary purpose of collection.

3. Legal Basis for Processing
bq111 processes your personal data only where a valid legal basis exists for doing so. We rely on the following legal bases, depending on the specific processing activity:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing your identity, contact, financial, and account data is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you under the bq111 Terms & Conditions — specifically to operate your account, process deposits and withdrawals, credit bonuses, and provide access to games and betting markets.
- Legal Obligation: bq111 is required by applicable law and regulation to collect and retain certain data for anti-money-laundering (AML) compliance, Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, fraud prevention, and age verification. This processing is non-negotiable and cannot be opted out of; without it, bq111 cannot lawfully provide its services to you.
- Legitimate Interests: bq111 processes technical and usage data on the basis of its legitimate interest in maintaining platform security, detecting and preventing fraud, improving product quality, and conducting internal analytics. We have assessed that these legitimate interests are not overridden by your privacy rights, given the limited sensitivity of the data involved and the safeguards in place.
- Consent: Where bq111 sends you personalised marketing communications (promotional emails, SMS offers, WhatsApp bonus alerts), this processing is based on your freely given, specific, and informed consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without penalty by updating your communication preferences in your account settings or by contacting our support team.
- Vital Interests: In exceptional circumstances — for example, if we become aware that a player is at serious risk of self-harm related to problem gambling — bq111 may process limited data to protect that individual's vital interests. This is a narrow and infrequently invoked basis.
4. How We Use Your Data
bq111 uses your personal data for the following defined purposes. We do not use your data for any purpose that is incompatible with those listed below. If we intend to use your data for a new purpose in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and notify you before that processing begins.
- Account Management: Creating, maintaining, and securing your bq111 account; processing logins; managing your balance and transaction history; applying VIP tier upgrades; enabling account recovery when requested.
- Payment Processing: Facilitating deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and Bangladeshi bank accounts; processing withdrawal requests; verifying payment method ownership to prevent fraud and money laundering.
- Identity Verification: Conducting age verification checks at registration; performing full KYC document review before processing your first withdrawal; carrying out ongoing AML screening against relevant watchlists where required by law.
- Responsible Gaming: Monitoring gameplay patterns to identify signs of problem gambling; delivering responsible gaming alerts and cooling-off prompts; enforcing self-exclusion orders; sharing anonymised behavioural data with responsible gaming research bodies where legally permitted.
- Customer Support: Responding to support queries submitted via live chat, WhatsApp, or email; investigating complaints; resolving disputes; maintaining records of interactions for quality assurance and training purposes.
- Fraud and Security: Detecting multi-accounting, bonus abuse, collusion, and other fraudulent activity; investigating suspicious transactions; maintaining the integrity of the bq111 platform for all genuine players.
- Product Improvement: Analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to understand how players interact with the platform; identifying features that need improvement; testing new functionality before full release.
- Marketing (Consent-Based): Sending you promotional communications about new games, bonuses, VIP rewards, and seasonal offers (e.g., Eid specials, BPL cricket promotions) — only where you have given explicit consent and have not subsequently withdrawn it.
- Legal Compliance: Meeting bq111's obligations under applicable data protection, financial crime, and consumer protection laws; responding to lawful requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities.
5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
bq111 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (including local storage, session storage, and device fingerprinting) to make the platform function correctly, to keep your session secure, and to understand how users interact with the site. This section explains the categories of cookies we use and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the bq111 platform to operate. They enable core functions such as account login, session management, game loading, and payment flow integrity. Because they are technically essential, they cannot be disabled without breaking the platform's core functionality.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect aggregated, anonymised data about how users navigate the bq111 website — which pages are visited most frequently, where users encounter errors, and how long sessions last. This data is used solely to improve platform performance and user experience. No personally identifiable information is included in these reports.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences — such as your chosen language setting, display preferences, and last-played game — so that you do not need to re-enter them each time you visit. Disabling functional cookies may reduce personalisation features.
- Targeting / Marketing Cookies: These cookies are used only if you have consented to receive personalised marketing from bq111. They track which promotions you have viewed and help us avoid showing you the same offer repeatedly. They do not track your activity on any website other than bq111. You may withdraw consent for marketing cookies at any time via your account settings.
- Security Cookies: These cookies support bq111's fraud detection and bot prevention systems. They help identify unusual activity patterns — such as simultaneous logins from multiple geographic locations — and protect your account from unauthorised access.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser's cookie settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary or security cookies may prevent you from accessing certain areas of the bq111 platform or completing transactions. Detailed instructions for managing cookies in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge are available from each browser's help centre.
6. Data Sharing & Third Parties
bq111 does not sell your personal data to any third party. We share your data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only with parties who are bound by appropriate data protection obligations. All third-party service providers engaged by bq111 are contractually required to process your data strictly in accordance with our instructions and for no other purpose.
- Payment Processors: To process deposits and withdrawals, bq111 shares the minimum necessary data (wallet numbers, transaction amounts, account identifiers) with bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and Bangladeshi banking partners. These providers operate under their own regulatory data protection frameworks and are not permitted to use your data for any purpose beyond processing the specific transaction.
- Identity Verification Partners: To complete KYC verification, scanned identity documents and verification selfies may be shared with a third-party identity verification service. This provider processes documents in a secure, certified environment and returns only a verification outcome (pass / fail) to bq111. Documents are not retained by the verification partner beyond the legally required period.
- Game Providers: When you play a game powered by a third-party provider — such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, or Ezugi — a session token and anonymised player identifier are shared with that provider to enable game operation. Your full name, contact details, and payment information are never shared with game providers.
- Fraud Prevention Services: Aggregated device and behavioural signals may be shared with third-party fraud detection platforms to identify multi-accounting, bot activity, and financial crime. These providers process data on bq111's behalf and are not permitted to use it for any independent purpose.
- Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: bq111 may disclose personal data to regulatory bodies or law enforcement agencies where required to do so by law, court order, or in response to a lawful investigation. bq111 will, where legally permitted, notify you of such a disclosure.
- Business Transfers: In the event that bq111's business or assets are acquired, merged with another entity, or restructured, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer and of any material changes to this Privacy Policy that result from it.
bq111 does not transfer your personal data to countries outside your region without ensuring that adequate data protection safeguards are in place — whether through standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, or equivalent recognised mechanisms.
7. Data Retention
bq111 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or for as long as is required by applicable law and regulation. The following retention periods apply to the main categories of personal data we hold:
- Account and Identity Data: Retained for the duration of your account's active period plus a minimum of five years following account closure, to comply with AML record-keeping obligations and to facilitate the resolution of any disputes or regulatory enquiries arising after closure.
- Financial Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of each transaction, in accordance with applicable financial crime regulations. This includes deposit receipts, withdrawal records, bonus transaction logs, and payment method verification documents.
- KYC Documents: Identity documents submitted for KYC verification are retained for five years following the closure of your account or the date of submission if verification was unsuccessful. After this period, documents are securely and permanently deleted from all bq111 systems.
- Customer Support Communications: Live chat transcripts, email correspondence, and WhatsApp message records are retained for three years from the date of the interaction, to enable dispute resolution and quality assurance reviews.
- Usage and Analytics Data: Anonymised, aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it contains no personally identifiable information. Individual usage logs that are linked to your account are retained for 24 months.
- Marketing Preferences: Records of your marketing consent (or withdrawal of consent) are retained for five years to demonstrate compliance with consent obligations, even after the underlying marketing processing has ceased.
- Responsible Gaming Records: Self-exclusion records, deposit limit settings, and problem gambling support interactions are retained for the duration of the exclusion period plus five years, to prevent re-registration during an active exclusion and to support the continuity of welfare obligations.
When a retention period expires, bq111 will either permanently delete your data from all live systems and backups, or irreversibly anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked back to you. You may request early deletion of your data subject to the conditions described in the Your Privacy Rights section below.
8. Your Privacy Rights
As a user of the bq111 platform, you hold the following rights with respect to your personal data. bq111 is committed to honouring these rights promptly and transparently. All requests are handled free of charge and responded to within 30 calendar days of receipt. If a request is complex or numerous, bq111 may extend this period by a further 30 days, in which case you will be notified of the extension and the reason for it.
You have the right to request a copy of all personal data bq111 holds about you, together with an explanation of how it is used, where it came from, and who it has been shared with.
If any personal data bq111 holds about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected or completed without undue delay.
You may request that bq111 delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, you have withdrawn consent, or there is no overriding legitimate interest. This right is subject to legal retention obligations.
You may ask bq111 to pause processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while you contest the accuracy of the data, or while an objection to processing is being assessed.
Where processing is based on your consent or contractual necessity, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transfer it to another controller.
You may object to bq111 processing your data based on legitimate interests. You also have an absolute right to object to processing for direct marketing purposes, which bq111 will honour immediately upon receipt of your objection.
You have the right not to be subject to a solely automated decision that produces a significant legal or similarly significant effect on you, and to request human review of any such decision made by bq111's systems.
Where processing is based on consent (e.g., marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time without penalty. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
To exercise any of the above rights, please contact bq111's data protection point of contact at support@bq111.club with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request". You will be asked to verify your identity before your request is processed, to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to or acted upon by an unauthorised party.
9. Data Security
bq111 implements a comprehensive suite of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. The following controls are in place at all times:
- Transport Layer Security: All data in transit between your browser and the bq111 platform is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. Our SSL certificate is maintained and renewed by a trusted certificate authority. Connections over unencrypted HTTP are automatically redirected to HTTPS.
- Encryption at Rest: Sensitive data stored in bq111's databases — including identity documents, payment details, and password hashes — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Encryption keys are managed separately from the data they protect and are rotated on a regular schedule.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within bq111's internal systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. All staff with access to personal data undergo background screening and receive mandatory data protection training. Access rights are reviewed and updated quarterly, and any access by a staff member who leaves the organisation is revoked immediately upon departure.
- Two-Factor Authentication: bq111's internal administrative systems require two-factor authentication for all staff. We strongly recommend that players also enable two-factor authentication on their bq111 accounts to add an additional layer of security against unauthorised access.
- Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Scanning: bq111's platform and infrastructure undergo regular penetration testing by independent security specialists. Vulnerability scans are conducted on a continuous basis, and identified issues are triaged and remediated according to a risk-prioritised patching schedule.
- Data Backup & Recovery: All personal data is backed up on a regular schedule to geographically distributed, encrypted storage facilities. Our disaster recovery plan is tested periodically to ensure that data can be fully restored within defined recovery time objectives in the event of a system failure or incident.
- Incident Response: bq111 maintains a documented data breach incident response procedure. In the event of a confirmed breach affecting personal data, our response team is activated immediately to contain the breach, assess its scope, remediate the vulnerability, and notify affected individuals and relevant authorities within the timeframes required by applicable law.
- Third-Party Security Standards: All third-party service providers who process personal data on bq111's behalf are required to demonstrate compliance with industry-standard security frameworks as a condition of their engagement. Contracts with processors include binding data protection and security obligations.
Despite these measures, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your bq111 account credentials — including your password and any two-factor authentication codes — confidential and for logging out of your account when using shared or public devices. If you suspect that your account has been compromised, please contact bq111's support team immediately at support@bq111.club or via WhatsApp at +880 1700 000 111.
