ff53 Privacy Policy —
How We Handle Your Data

Data We Collect

ff53 collects personal data that is necessary to operate the platform, verify user identity, process financial transactions, and maintain a safe gaming environment. We collect data only where we have a lawful basis for doing so — primarily contract performance (operating your account), legal obligation (fraud prevention and financial record-keeping), and legitimate interest (platform security and service improvement). The categories of data we collect are described below.

Registration Data

When you create a ff53 account, we collect the following information: your full name as it appears on your national identity document, your mobile phone number registered in Bangladesh, your date of birth (to verify the 18+ age requirement), and your preferred payment method type (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay). We do not collect your national ID number in full at registration — partial verification is conducted where required.

Transaction Data

For every deposit and withdrawal you conduct on ff53, we record: the transaction date and time (in Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6), the transaction reference ID issued by your mobile wallet provider (bKash/Nagad/Rocket/Upay), the transaction amount in Bangladeshi Taka (৳), the payment method type, and the resulting account balance after the transaction. We do not store your mobile wallet PIN, OTP, or any authentication credential used to complete the transaction on your wallet provider's side.

Device and Technical Data

When you access ff53, our servers automatically record certain technical data including: your IP address at the time of access, your device type and operating system version, your browser type and version, session start and end timestamps, and pages or game titles accessed during the session. This data is used for security monitoring, fraud detection, and improving platform performance — not for building advertising profiles.

Gameplay and Betting Data

ff53 records all betting and gaming activity associated with your account: game titles played, wager amounts, outcomes, bonus activations, and session durations. This data is used to operate the platform correctly, calculate bonuses, resolve disputes, and generate your transaction history. Gameplay records are also reviewed as part of responsible gaming monitoring to identify patterns that may indicate problematic gambling behaviour.

Communications Data

If you contact ff53 support via live chat or email, we retain a record of that communication including the message content, timestamps, and the resolution outcome. These records allow us to follow up on unresolved queries, train support staff, and maintain an audit trail of dispute resolutions. Chat transcripts are retained for a period consistent with the data retention policy described in Section 05 below.

Summary of Data Categories

How We Use Your Data

ff53 uses the personal data it collects solely for the purposes described in this section. We do not use your data for purposes incompatible with those stated here without first obtaining your explicit consent or establishing an alternative lawful basis.

• Account creation and management: Your registration data is used to create and maintain your ff53 account, authenticate your identity at login, and ensure one-account-per-person compliance. Without this data, we cannot operate your account.
• Payment processing: Transaction data is used to match your bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay deposits to your ff53 wallet, process withdrawal requests to your registered payment method, and investigate any disputed or unmatched transactions.
• Age and identity verification: ff53 uses your date of birth and, where requested, identity documentation to confirm that you meet the 18+ age requirement and that the registered account holder is the genuine owner of the payment method used.
• Fraud prevention and security: Technical data including IP addresses, device fingerprints, and session patterns is analysed to detect suspicious activity, prevent duplicate account creation, identify automated bot activity, and respond to potential security incidents.
• Responsible gaming monitoring: Gameplay and session data is reviewed to identify patterns consistent with problem gambling behaviour. Where such patterns are identified, ff53 may proactively contact the account holder to offer responsible gaming tools or temporary account restrictions.
• Bonus and promotion administration: Your gameplay data and transaction history are used to calculate bonus eligibility, track wagering requirement progress, and administer tournament and promotional offers such as BPL and IPL cricket season promotions.
• Customer support: Communications data from support interactions is used to resolve your queries, follow up on open tickets, and improve the quality of ff53's English-language support service.
• Platform analytics and improvement: Aggregated, anonymised technical and gameplay data is used to analyse platform performance, identify areas for improvement, and inform decisions about new game additions or feature rollouts. Individual users cannot be identified from aggregated analytics data.
• Legal and regulatory compliance: Where required by applicable law, ff53 may use your personal data to comply with lawful orders from competent authorities, including financial intelligence requests and legal proceedings. ff53 will notify affected users of such disclosures where permitted by law.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

ff53 does not sell your personal data to third parties. We share personal data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the minimum extent necessary for the stated purpose.

• Payment service providers: When you make a deposit or withdrawal, relevant transaction data is shared with your selected payment provider (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, or Mastercard) to enable the transaction to be processed. Each payment provider operates under its own privacy policy and is an independent data controller for the data it receives directly from you during authentication.
• Game technology providers: ff53 hosts games developed by third-party studios including Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, and Spribe. These providers may receive your account session token and wager data to operate their game software correctly within the ff53 platform. These providers do not receive your full registration data or payment method details.
• Identity verification services: Where ff53 requests identity verification, a specialist identity verification service provider may process a copy of your identity document on ff53's behalf. Such providers are bound by contractual data processing agreements and may not use your data for their own purposes.
• IT and hosting infrastructure: ff53 uses server infrastructure and cloud hosting providers to store platform data. These providers act as data processors under ff53's instructions and are contractually prohibited from accessing or using your personal data independently.
• Legal and regulatory authorities: ff53 may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, or courts where required by a valid legal order or where ff53 reasonably believes disclosure is necessary to prevent serious harm. ff53 will challenge overbroad data requests and notify affected users where legally permitted to do so.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of ff53's platform assets to a successor entity, user data held by ff53 may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. Users will be notified of any such transfer that materially affects how their data is processed.

Cookies & Tracking

ff53 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform efficiently and improve your experience. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website server. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files on your device. The table below summarises the cookie categories used by ff53.

ff53 does not use third-party advertising cookies or retargeting pixels. No data collected via ff53 cookies is shared with advertising networks. You can manage cookie settings through your browser's privacy controls — most modern browsers on Android and iOS devices used in Bangladesh (Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet) provide accessible cookie management options in the browser settings menu.

In addition to cookies, ff53 may use browser local storage and session storage for functional purposes such as maintaining game state during a session. Local storage data remains on your device and is not transmitted to ff53 servers unless you actively trigger an action (such as placing a bet) that sends session data to the platform.

Data Retention

ff53 retains personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal retention obligations. The retention periods applied to each data category are set out below.

• Active account data: Registration data, contact details, and account preferences are retained for the full duration of your account's active status and for a period of 2 years following account closure, to allow for the resolution of any post-closure disputes or queries.
• Financial transaction records: Records of all deposits and withdrawals — including amounts in Bangladeshi Taka (৳), transaction reference IDs, and timestamps — are retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of the transaction. This retention period reflects standard financial record-keeping obligations applicable to payment processing operations.
• Gameplay and betting records: Individual bet records, game session logs, and bonus transaction histories are retained for 3 years from the date of the activity. Aggregated, anonymised gameplay statistics may be retained indefinitely for platform analytics purposes.
• Support communications: Live chat transcripts and email support correspondence are retained for 2 years from the date of the last message in the thread. Records relating to formally lodged disputes are retained for 5 years from the date the dispute was resolved.
• Technical and security logs: IP access logs and device session data used for security monitoring are retained for 12 months from the date of the session. Extended retention may apply where a security incident or fraud investigation is ongoing.
• Identity verification documents: Copies of identity documents submitted for account verification are retained for the duration of the account relationship and for 2 years following account closure. Where a verification document was submitted in relation to a regulatory request, a 5-year retention period applies.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted from ff53's systems or irreversibly anonymised. Anonymised data derived from your activity may be retained beyond these periods as it can no longer be linked to any identifiable individual.

Data Security

ff53 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, or destruction. While no online platform can guarantee absolute security, ff53 takes its data protection obligations seriously and continuously reviews and improves its security posture.

• Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and the ff53 platform is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security). The ff53 platform enforces HTTPS on all connections. Unencrypted HTTP connections are automatically redirected to HTTPS.
• Encryption at rest: Sensitive personal data stored in ff53's databases — including registration details and payment reference identifiers — is encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. Database access is restricted to authorised system components only.
• Access controls: Access to systems that process personal data is restricted on a need-to-know basis. ff53 staff who require access to user data for operational purposes (such as support agents resolving a dispute) are granted the minimum level of access necessary for that specific task. All staff access is logged and reviewed.
• Password security: User account passwords are stored using one-way cryptographic hashing with salting. ff53 cannot retrieve your password in plain text — only a reset can be performed. You are responsible for choosing a strong, unique password for your ff53 account.
• Security monitoring: ff53 operates continuous security monitoring on its platform infrastructure to detect anomalous access patterns, DDoS activity, and injection attempts. Security events trigger automated alerts and are reviewed by the platform's security team.
• Data breach response: In the event of a confirmed personal data breach that poses a risk to users, ff53 will take immediate steps to contain the breach and will notify affected users without undue delay. The notification will describe the nature of the breach, the categories of data affected, and the steps users should take to protect themselves.

Your Privacy Rights

As an ff53 user, you hold a number of rights with respect to your personal data. ff53 is committed to honouring these rights in a timely and transparent manner. To exercise any of the rights described below, submit a request to [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request" and include your registered mobile number and account username for identity verification.

• Right of access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data ff53 holds about you. We will provide a structured summary of your registration data, transaction history, and gameplay records within 10 business days of a verified request.
• Right to rectification: If any personal data ff53 holds about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. For most registration details (such as mobile number updates), corrections can be initiated directly through account settings or via the support team.
• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data following account closure, where no legal retention obligation requires us to retain it. ff53 will process erasure requests within 30 days of verification. Note that financial transaction records are subject to the 5-year legal retention period described in Section 05 and cannot be erased during that period.
• Right to restrict processing: You may request that ff53 temporarily restrict the processing of your personal data — for example, while a dispute about data accuracy is being investigated. During a processing restriction, ff53 may continue to store your data but will not actively process it for operational purposes beyond what is strictly necessary.
• Right to object: You have the right to object to ff53 processing your personal data for legitimate interest purposes, such as platform analytics. Where such an objection is lodged, ff53 will cease processing for that purpose unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where ff53 processes your data on the basis of your consent (such as for marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting support. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before the withdrawal.
• Right to data portability: Where ff53 processes your personal data by automated means on the basis of contract performance, you may request a machine-readable copy of the data in a portable format (CSV or JSON). This right applies to your registration data and transaction history.

Policy Updates & Contact

ff53 reviews this Privacy Policy periodically and may update it to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal requirements, or platform features. Material changes to this policy — those that meaningfully affect how your data is used — will be communicated to active account holders via an in-platform notification at least 14 days before the updated policy takes effect.

The effective date at the top of this Privacy Policy will be updated whenever a revision is published. The version of this policy in force on the date of any specific data processing activity is the version that governs that activity. Continuing to use ff53 after a policy update takes effect constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated terms.
