Privacy Policy — crickez
This Privacy Policy describes how crickez collects, processes, stores, and protects the personal data of its members and visitors. We are committed to handling your information transparently and in accordance with recognised data protection principles.
Data Controller & Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data processed by crickez in connection with the operation of its online gaming platform, accessible at crickez (the "Platform"). For the purposes of this policy, crickez acts as the data controller — meaning it determines the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed.
This policy applies to:
- All registered account holders on crickez, including members who access the Platform from Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, and all other regions of Bangladesh.
- Visitors who browse the Platform without creating an account.
- Any individual who contacts crickez. vip through any support channel, including email or live chat.
This Privacy Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming policy, which together govern your use of the Platform. By registering an account or continuing to use the Platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
crickez collects personal data through several channels: information you provide directly when registering or using the Platform, information generated automatically by your use of the Platform, and information received from third-party service providers where applicable. The categories of data we collect are described below.

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest — see the Your Rights & Choices section for details.
If you have opted in to receive marketing communications from crickez, you may receive emails about promotions, bonuses, new game releases, and seasonal offers relevant to the Bangladesh market — such as Eid specials, Pohela Boishakh promotions, or BPL cricket season offers. You may withdraw your consent to receive marketing emails at any time by contacting support@crickez.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
crickez does not sell your personal data to any third party. We share your data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent strictly necessary for each stated purpose.
- Game software providers: When you play a game on the Platform, technical session data (such as a session token and stake amount) is transmitted to the relevant game provider — including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, or Ezugi — to facilitate gameplay and settle game rounds. These providers act as data processors under contractual agreements with crickez and are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.
- Payment processors: Financial transaction data is shared with the relevant mobile financial service or banking partner (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard) solely to facilitate the processing of deposits and withdrawals. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and applicable financial regulations.
- Identity verification services: KYC documents may be processed by third-party identity verification service providers engaged by crickez to assist with age and identity checks. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements and applicable data protection standards.
- Fraud prevention and security: Data may be shared with fraud detection and cybersecurity service providers to protect the integrity of the Platform and to prevent money laundering, account takeover, and other malicious activity.
- Legal and regulatory compliance: crickez may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, courts, or regulatory authorities where required to do so by applicable law, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of crickez, its members, or the public.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
crickez uses cookies and similar technologies (including local storage and session storage) to operate the Platform, remember your preferences, analyse usage patterns, and support fraud detection. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by your browser when you visit the Platform.

All other cookie categories are activated only upon your acceptance. You may adjust your cookie preferences at any time through your account settings or by contacting support@crickez.
Please note that disabling functional or analytics cookies may affect your experience on the Platform. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in or using core features.
Data Retention
crickez retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The retention periods below reflect our standard data retention schedule.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Legal and anti-money laundering obligations |
| KYC identity documents | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Regulatory compliance and fraud prevention |
| Transaction and betting records | 7 years from date of transaction | Financial record-keeping requirements |
| Support communications | 3 years from date of interaction | Dispute resolution and quality assurance |
| Analytics and usage data | 13 months on a rolling basis | Service improvement analysis |
| Marketing preference data | Until consent is withdrawn | Consent-based processing |
When personal data reaches the end of its applicable retention period, crickez will securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual. Anonymised data may be retained indefinitely for aggregate statistical purposes.
Where you request erasure of your personal data before the end of its standard retention period, crickez will assess whether any legal obligation prevents immediate deletion. If deletion is not possible at that time, we will restrict the processing of your data to the minimum necessary to meet our legal obligations and notify you of the outcome of your request within 30 days.

Data Security Measures
crickez takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements a layered set of technical and organisational measures designed to protect your data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. Key security measures in place include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the crickez Platform is encrypted using industry-standard TLS 1.2 or higher. This applies to all pages including the login screen, deposit interface, and account settings.
- Data Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data stored on crickez's servers — including KYC documents and financial records — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Only authorised personnel with a defined operational requirement may access personally identifiable information, and all such access is logged and audited.
- Password Security: Account passwords are stored as salted cryptographic hashes. crickez never stores passwords in plain text and never transmits them in any communication to members.
- Fraud Monitoring: Automated systems continuously monitor account activity for indicators of unauthorised access, unusual transaction patterns, and other security anomalies. Suspicious activity triggers an immediate review process.
- Third-Party Security Assessments: crickez undergoes periodic security assessments conducted by independent security specialists to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
While crickez implements robust security measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for ensuring that your registered email account is secure. If you believe your crickez account has been compromised, contact support@crickez immediately.
