Privacy Policy — How haybaj Protects Your Data
Your privacy is a fundamental part of how haybaj operates. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect when you use haybaj.com, why we collect it, how it is stored and protected, who it may be shared with, and what rights you hold over your own information. We believe in full transparency — no hidden data practices, no selling of personal information.
Our Commitments
Six Privacy Principles at haybaj
Before reading the full legal text, these six principles summarise how haybaj approaches data privacy at every level of the platform. Full details for each principle are set out in the numbered sections below.
01 Data Controller
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the data controller responsible for your personal information is haybaj ("haybaj", "we", "us", "our"). haybaj operates the online casino and sports betting platform accessible at haybaj.com and is responsible for determining the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed.
All data protection enquiries, access requests, and complaints should be directed to haybaj's dedicated privacy contact at [email protected]. Please include "Privacy Request" in the subject line of your email so that your message is routed to the appropriate team member without delay. haybaj aims to acknowledge all privacy-related emails within two (2) business days.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through:
- The haybaj.com website and any subdomains operated by haybaj
- The haybaj account registration, login, and verification processes
- All deposits, withdrawals, and payment transactions processed through the platform
- haybaj's customer support communications, including email and live chat
- Participation in promotions, tournaments, or loyalty programmes offered by haybaj
- Any cookies or tracking technologies active on haybaj.com, as detailed in Section 4
Scope Note: This policy does not apply to third-party websites that may be linked from haybaj.com promotional material or game provider interfaces. If you navigate away from haybaj.com to a third-party site, that site's own privacy policy governs the collection of your data. haybaj is not responsible for third-party privacy practices.
02 Data We Collect
haybaj collects personal data through several distinct channels. The table below summarises the categories of data collected, the source of that data, and the primary purpose for which it is used. Full details on how each category is used are provided in Section 3.
| Data Category | Specific Data Points | Collection Source | Primary Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registration Data | Full legal name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, residential address in Bangladesh | Provided directly by you at account registration | Account creation, identity verification, communication |
| KYC Documents | National ID / passport / driving licence image, utility bill or bank statement, selfie photograph | Uploaded by you during KYC verification | Age verification, fraud prevention, AML compliance |
| Financial Data | bKash / Nagad / Rocket / Upay wallet numbers, transaction amounts, deposit and withdrawal history | Generated through your transactions on the platform | Payment processing, withdrawal verification, AML monitoring |
| Gameplay Data | Games played, bet amounts, win/loss history, session durations, game preferences | Automatically generated by platform systems during play | Responsible gaming monitoring, fraud detection, personalisation |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, time zone | Automatically collected by server logs and analytics scripts | Security, geolocation compliance, platform optimisation |
| Communications Data | Support emails, live chat transcripts, complaint records, promotional opt-in preferences | Generated through your communications with haybaj | Customer support, dispute resolution, marketing preferences |
haybaj does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from an underage individual, that data will be deleted immediately and the associated account will be closed. If you believe a minor has registered on haybaj, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
Sensitive Data: haybaj does not intentionally collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, or health data — except where health-related information is voluntarily disclosed by a player in the context of a responsible gaming self-exclusion request, in which case it is used solely to support that player's welfare and is not processed for any other purpose.
03 How We Use Your Data
haybaj processes your personal data only where there is a legitimate and defined basis for doing so. The following describes each processing activity, the data categories involved, and the legal basis on which the processing rests.
Account Management and Service Delivery: We use your registration data to create and maintain your haybaj account, authenticate your login sessions, process your bets and casino game rounds, credit winnings to your BDT wallet, and communicate important account notifications such as password resets, security alerts, and policy updates. This processing is necessary to perform the contract between haybaj and you as an account holder.
Identity Verification and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance: KYC document data is processed to confirm that you are who you say you are, that you meet the 18+ age requirement, and that your account activity does not present indicators of money laundering or financial fraud. This processing is required to comply with legal obligations applicable to financial services platforms operating in Bangladesh and internationally.
Payment Processing: Financial transaction data — including your bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay wallet identifiers and transaction records — is processed to execute your deposit and withdrawal instructions and to maintain accurate account balance records. haybaj does not store full card numbers. Payment data is processed in compliance with applicable financial data standards.
Responsible Gaming Monitoring: Gameplay data and session data are analysed to identify patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour, such as rapid escalation of bet sizes, extended uninterrupted sessions, or repeated failed withdrawal requests. Where such patterns are identified, haybaj may reach out proactively to offer responsible gaming tools. This processing is carried out in the legitimate interest of player welfare and platform integrity.
Fraud Detection and Platform Security: Technical data including IP addresses, device fingerprints, and login patterns are analysed to detect and prevent account takeover attempts, bonus abuse, multi-accounting, and other fraudulent behaviours. This processing is carried out in haybaj's legitimate interest in maintaining a fair and secure platform for all players.
Marketing Communications: Where you have explicitly opted in to receive promotional communications, haybaj may send you emails or SMS messages about new games, seasonal promotions (such as Eid or BPL cricket season offers), deposit bonuses, and other platform news. You may withdraw your marketing consent at any time by updating your notification preferences in Account Settings or by emailing [email protected]. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect service communications, which are sent regardless of marketing preferences.
Automated Decision-Making: haybaj uses automated systems to flag accounts for fraud review, to apply responsible gaming intervention triggers, and to assess KYC document submissions. Where an automated decision has a significant effect on your account (for example, a withdrawal hold or account suspension), you have the right to request human review of that decision by contacting [email protected].
04 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
haybaj.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to deliver a functional, secure, and personalised experience. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow haybaj to recognise your device across sessions, maintain your login state, remember your preferences, and analyse how the platform is used.
haybaj uses the following categories of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the platform to function. They maintain your login session, preserve your account security state, and enable core features such as the game lobby, deposit flow, and withdrawal requests. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking platform functionality. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymised data about how visitors interact with haybaj.com — including which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on each page, and where navigation errors occur. This data is used to improve platform performance and user experience. haybaj uses privacy-respecting analytics tools that do not share this data with advertising networks.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences, such as your preferred language (English), your last-viewed game category, and your responsible gaming settings. Disabling functional cookies may result in a reduced personalised experience but will not prevent access to core platform features.
- Security Cookies: These cookies support haybaj's fraud detection and bot-prevention systems. They help distinguish human players from automated scripts and flag unusual session behaviour for review. Security cookies are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled.
haybaj does not use third-party advertising cookies or participate in cross-site behavioural advertising networks. We do not place tracking pixels on behalf of social media platforms for retargeting purposes.
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie preferences through the browser's settings menu. You can typically choose to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or clear existing cookies from your device. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent haybaj.com from functioning correctly and may make it impossible to log in to your account.
Local Storage: In addition to cookies, haybaj may use browser local storage and session storage to temporarily hold non-sensitive preference data (such as your most recently viewed game category or your active game session state). This data is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to haybaj's servers. Clearing your browser's site data will remove locally stored preference data.
05 Data Sharing & Disclosure
haybaj does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share personal data with third parties only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the minimum extent necessary for the stated purpose.
Game Technology Providers: haybaj's casino and sports betting products are powered by certified international game providers including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi. When you play a game supplied by one of these providers, limited technical data (such as a pseudonymous session token and bet amount) is transmitted to the provider's servers to run the game round. These providers are contractually prohibited from using this data for any purpose other than game delivery and are required to maintain data security standards equivalent to those applied by haybaj.
Payment Service Providers: To process your deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard, haybaj shares the minimum necessary transaction data with each payment service provider. This typically includes the transaction amount, your registered mobile number or payment identifier, and a transaction reference. Payment providers are bound by their own regulatory data protection obligations and their privacy practices are governed by their respective policies.
Identity Verification and KYC Partners: haybaj may use third-party identity verification services to assist with KYC document review and age verification. These partners process your submitted identity documents under strict data processing agreements and are not permitted to retain your documents after the verification process is complete.
Legal and Regulatory Disclosure: haybaj may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, regulatory authorities, or courts where required to do so by applicable law, a court order, or a valid legal process. haybaj will notify affected account holders of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.
Business Transfers: In the event that haybaj undergoes a corporate restructuring, merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring 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, no later than thirty (30) days before the transfer takes effect.
No Advertising Networks: haybaj does not share your personal data — including your email address, mobile number, gameplay behaviour, or financial history — with advertising networks, data brokers, social media platforms, or any other commercial third party for marketing or profiling purposes. Your data stays within the haybaj platform ecosystem.
06 Data Retention
haybaj retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following retention periods apply to each major category of personal data held by haybaj:
- Account Registration Data: Retained for the duration of your account's active status, plus five (5) years following voluntary account closure or termination. This retention period is required to meet anti-money laundering record-keeping obligations and to respond to any disputes that arise after account closure.
- KYC Identity Documents: Retained for five (5) years from the date of account closure or from the date the document was submitted, whichever is later. Original document images are securely deleted at the end of the retention period; only a verification status record is kept thereafter.
- Financial Transaction Records: Retained for seven (7) years following the date of each transaction. This extended period reflects standard financial record-keeping requirements for AML compliance purposes.
- Gameplay and Session Data: Detailed gameplay logs are retained for two (2) years from the date of each session. Aggregated, anonymised statistical data derived from gameplay may be retained indefinitely for platform improvement purposes, as it no longer constitutes personal data.
- Customer Support Communications: Email and chat support records are retained for three (3) years from the date of the most recent communication in a given support thread, or for the duration of any open dispute, whichever is longer.
- Marketing Consent Records: Records of your marketing consent preferences (including when consent was given or withdrawn) are retained for the life of your account plus two (2) years, to allow haybaj to demonstrate compliance with consent obligations.
- Technical and Security Logs: Server access logs and security event logs are retained for ninety (90) days on active storage, then archived for a further twelve (12) months before deletion.
At the end of each applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised using industry-standard data destruction methods. haybaj conducts periodic data audits to ensure that personal data is not retained beyond its defined retention period.
Account Closure and Data: Closing your haybaj account does not result in the immediate deletion of all your personal data. Legal and regulatory retention requirements mean that certain data categories will be held for defined periods after closure, as described above. If you would like a full breakdown of exactly what data haybaj holds about you and when it is scheduled for deletion, you may submit a Subject Access Request to [email protected].
07 Your Privacy Rights
As a haybaj account holder, you hold the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, send a written request to [email protected] with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. haybaj will respond within thirty (30) days of receiving a verified request. We may ask you to confirm your identity before processing a request to protect against unauthorised access to another person's data.
- Right of Access (Subject Access Request): You have the right to request a copy of all personal data haybaj holds about you, together with information about how it is used, where it is stored, and with whom it has been shared. haybaj will provide this information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Right to Rectification: If any personal data haybaj holds about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. You may update basic account information (such as your email address or mobile number) directly through Account Settings. For corrections to KYC data, please contact support.
- Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You may request that haybaj delete your personal data. haybaj will honour erasure requests where there is no overriding legal obligation to retain the data. Where retention is legally required (for example, AML transaction records), haybaj will explain which data cannot be erased and why, and will delete all other data that is not subject to a retention obligation.
- Right to Restrict Processing: You may request that haybaj temporarily restrict the processing of your personal data — for example, while a dispute about data accuracy is being resolved — rather than deleting it outright.
- Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (such as JSON or CSV) and to transmit it to another service provider. This right applies to data you have provided directly to haybaj and that is processed on the basis of your consent or a contract.
- Right to Object to Processing: You have the right to object to haybaj processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. You may also object to processing carried out on the basis of haybaj's legitimate interests, in which case haybaj must cease processing unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where haybaj processes your data on the basis of your consent (principally for marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Response Timeline: haybaj commits to acknowledging all privacy rights requests within two (2) business days and providing a substantive response within thirty (30) calendar days. Where a request is complex or voluminous, the response period may be extended by a further thirty (30) days, in which case haybaj will notify you of the extension and the reason for it within the initial thirty-day window.
