ba9 Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through the ba9 website at ba9.asia, ba9's mobile-optimised site, and any communications between you and ba9's support team. It does not apply to third-party websites or services that may be linked from within ba9's content. ba9 is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party provider, including game studios such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Ezugi, NetEnt, Microgaming, or Spribe. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy notices independently.

ba9 may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal obligations, or the services we offer. Where changes are material, ba9 will notify registered players via the email address or mobile number associated with their account. Continued use of ba9 following the posting of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

1. Personal Data We Collect

ba9 collects personal data at various points during your use of the platform. The categories of data we collect include:

• Registration data: Mobile number, full name, date of birth, and preferred currency (BDT). This information is required to create a ba9 account.

Payment method details are used solely to process deposits and withdrawals in BDT.

• Usage data: Pages visited, game sessions started, betting patterns, session duration, and navigation paths within ba9.asia. This data helps ba9 improve platform performance and identify responsible gaming concerns.
• Communications data: The content of messages exchanged with ba9's support team via email at [email protected] or Telegram @ba9support, including any documents or screenshots you voluntarily share.
• Preference data: Your chosen language, notification preferences, and any responsible gaming limits or restrictions you have set on your account.
