Privacy & Data Last Updated: January 2025

Crickes Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to Crickes. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have over your own information. We keep it plain and honest — no legal jargon designed to confuse you.

Effective Date: 1 January 2025
Your Data, Your Rights

Crickes does not sell your data. We collect only what we need to run the platform and keep your account secure.

How Crickes Handles Your Privacy

Six things Crickes commits to on every account, every day. These aren't aspirations — they're built into how the platform works.

Minimal Data Collection

Crickes collects only the data that is genuinely necessary to operate your account, process your payments, and comply with legal obligations. We don't ask for information we don't need, and we don't store data longer than required. Your mobile number, name, and payment details are the core of what we hold — nothing more.

No Data Sales

Crickes does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. Your information is not shared with advertisers, data brokers, or marketing companies. The data you give Crickes stays with Crickes and is used only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Encrypted Storage

All personal data stored by Crickes is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard protocols. Your payment credentials are never stored in plain text. Access to your account data within Crickes is restricted to authorised personnel only, and all access is logged and audited.

Right to Deletion

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data from Crickes at any time. When you close your account, your data is deleted from our active systems within 30 days, subject to any legal retention obligations. We will confirm deletion in writing upon request.

Marketing Opt-Out

Crickes sends promotional messages only to players who have opted in. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time from your account settings or by contacting support. Opting out does not affect transactional messages such as deposit confirmations and withdrawal notifications.

Full Transparency

This Privacy Policy tells you everything about how Crickes handles your data. There are no hidden data practices, no undisclosed third-party sharing arrangements, and no data uses that aren't described here. If we change how we use your data, we will update this policy and notify you before the change takes effect.

About This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the Crickes platform, including the website at crickes.io and the Crickes mobile app. By creating an account or using Crickes, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy. If you have questions about anything in this document, contact us at [email protected].

01 Introduction

Crickes is committed to protecting the privacy of every player who uses our platform. This Privacy Policy explains how Crickes collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data when you register an account, make a deposit, place a bet, or interact with any part of the Crickes platform.

We understand that privacy is important to our players in Bangladesh. When you trust Crickes with your personal information, we take that responsibility seriously. This policy is written in plain language so you know exactly what happens with your data — no hidden clauses, no surprises.

This policy covers all data processing activities carried out by Crickes in connection with the platform. It applies whether you access Crickes through a web browser, the Crickes mobile app, or any other interface we provide.

02 Data We Collect

Crickes collects personal data in three main ways: information you provide directly, information generated by your use of the platform, and information received from payment providers. Here is a breakdown of what we collect and why.

Data Type Examples Why We Collect It
Registration Data Name, mobile number, date of birth, password To create and manage your Crickes account
Identity Verification National ID, photo ID, selfie To verify your age and identity when required
Payment Data bKash/Nagad/Rocket number, transaction IDs To process deposits and withdrawals
Betting Activity Bets placed, games played, win/loss history To operate the platform and detect fraud
Device & Technical Data IP address, device type, browser, OS To secure your account and improve the platform
Communications Support chat logs, emails sent to Crickes To resolve issues and improve support quality

Payment Security Note

Crickes does not store your full bKash, Nagad, or Rocket PIN or password. Payment authentication is handled directly by the respective payment provider. Crickes only receives a transaction confirmation reference once a payment is completed.

03 How We Use Your Data

Crickes uses your personal data only for the purposes described in this policy. We do not use your data for any purpose that you would not reasonably expect given the nature of the Crickes platform. The main ways we use your data are:

  • To create, manage, and secure your Crickes account.
  • To process deposits, withdrawals, and other financial transactions.
  • To verify your identity and age in compliance with our legal obligations.
  • To detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and platform abuse.
  • To provide customer support and resolve disputes.
  • To send you transactional notifications such as deposit confirmations and withdrawal updates.
  • To send you promotional offers and bonuses, if you have opted in to marketing communications.
  • To improve the Crickes platform based on how players use it.
  • To comply with applicable laws and respond to lawful requests from authorities.

Crickes uses automated systems to monitor betting activity for signs of fraud or problem gambling. This automated processing helps us protect both the platform and our players. If automated monitoring flags your account, a human member of the Crickes team will review the case before any action is taken.

04 Legal Basis for Processing

Crickes processes your personal data on the following legal grounds, depending on the type of data and the purpose of processing:

  • Contract Performance: Processing your registration data, payment data, and betting activity is necessary to provide the Crickes service you have signed up for.
  • Legal Obligation: Identity verification and transaction monitoring are required by applicable anti-money laundering and age verification laws.
  • Legitimate Interests: Fraud detection, platform security, and service improvement are carried out on the basis of Crickes's legitimate interest in operating a safe and fair platform.
  • Consent: Marketing communications are sent only where you have given explicit consent. You can withdraw consent at any time.

05 Data Sharing

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

  • Payment Providers: We share transaction data with bKash, Nagad, and Rocket to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle your data.
  • Identity Verification Services: Where required, we may share identity documents with a third-party verification provider to confirm your age and identity.
  • Technology Partners: Crickes uses third-party services for platform hosting, analytics, and security. These partners process data only on our instructions and are contractually bound to protect your data.
  • Law Enforcement: Crickes will disclose personal data to law enforcement or regulatory authorities when required to do so by law, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud or protect the safety of our players.

Our Commitment

Crickes never shares your data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for commercial purposes. Every data-sharing arrangement Crickes has in place is governed by a written agreement that requires the recipient to protect your data to the same standard as Crickes.

06 Cookies & Tracking

Crickes uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, keep you logged in, and understand how players use the site. Here is what we use and why:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in and security cookies that protect your account. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without stopping use of the platform.
  • Analytics Cookies: Help Crickes understand which pages are most visited, how long players spend on the platform, and where technical issues occur. This data is aggregated and anonymised.
  • Preference Cookies: Remember your settings such as language preference and display options so you don't have to set them every time you visit.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to use the core Crickes platform, but some features may not work as expected.

07 Data Retention

Crickes retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by law. The specific retention periods we apply are:

  • Account registration data is retained for the duration of your account plus 5 years after closure.
  • Transaction records are retained for 7 years to comply with financial record-keeping requirements.
  • Identity verification documents are retained for 5 years after the verification was completed.
  • Support communications are retained for 2 years after the conversation was closed.
  • Marketing consent records are retained for 3 years after consent was given or withdrawn.

After the applicable retention period, your data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked to you. If you request early deletion of your data, Crickes will delete what it legally can and explain any data that must be retained for legal reasons.

09 Data Security

Crickes takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. These measures include:

  • TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the Crickes platform.
  • AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored in our databases.
  • Multi-factor authentication options for your Crickes account.
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing of the Crickes platform.
  • Strict access controls limiting which Crickes staff can access personal data.
  • Automated monitoring for suspicious login attempts and account activity.

Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. If you suspect that your Crickes account has been compromised, contact support immediately. You should also change your password and review your recent account activity.

Security Reminder

Crickes will never ask for your password via live chat, SMS, or email. If you receive a message claiming to be from Crickes and asking for your password, do not respond and report it to support immediately.

10 Children's Privacy

The Crickes platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Crickes does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we discover that a player is under 18, their account will be immediately suspended, any balance will be withheld pending investigation, and their personal data will be deleted from our systems.

If you believe that a minor has registered on Crickes, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

11 Policy Updates

Crickes may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate, changes in applicable law, or improvements to our data practices. When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page.

For significant changes that affect how we use your data, Crickes will notify registered players via the mobile number or email address associated with their account at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Your continued use of Crickes after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
