Crikya Privacy Policy

Your personal data belongs to you. This policy explains exactly what information Crikya collects when you use our platform, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have over it. We keep things straightforward — no legal jargon for the sake of it.

Last updated: January 2025  |  Applies to all Crikya accounts and services

How Crikya Protects Your Privacy

Six things Crikya commits to on every account, every day. The full policy details follow below.

🔐
SSL Encryption on All Data

Every piece of data transmitted between your device and Crikya is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. This applies to login, deposits, withdrawals and all account activity. Your information cannot be intercepted in transit.

🚫
We Never Sell Your Data

Crikya does not sell, rent or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes. Your data is used only to operate your account, process payments and improve the platform experience. Full stop.

🎯
Data Collected Only as Needed

Crikya follows a data minimisation approach. We only collect information that is genuinely necessary to provide our services — account management, KYC verification, payment processing and customer support. Nothing extra, nothing unnecessary.

👁️
Full Transparency on Usage

This policy tells you exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it and who can access it. There are no hidden data practices at Crikya. If something changes, we update this policy and notify you directly.

Your Rights Are Respected

You have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal data at any time. Crikya processes all data rights requests within 30 days. Contact our support team to exercise any of your rights — no complicated process required.

🛡️
Secure Storage and Access Controls

Player data is stored on secure servers with strict access controls. Only authorised Crikya personnel with a legitimate operational need can access personal data. All internal access is logged and audited regularly.

Summary: Crikya ("we", "us", "the platform") is committed to protecting the privacy of every player who uses our services at crikya.net. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal data in connection with your use of the Crikya platform, including account registration, sports betting, casino gameplay, deposits and withdrawals. By registering on Crikya, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy.

1. Introduction

Crikya takes your privacy seriously. We know that when you sign up on a betting platform, you're trusting us with real personal information — your name, your mobile number, your payment details. That trust is not something we take lightly. This Privacy Policy is written to be clear and honest about exactly what happens to your data from the moment you register.

This policy applies to all services provided by Crikya at crikya.net , including sports betting, casino games, live dealer tables, video poker, the mobile app and all customer support interactions. It should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming policy.

If you have any questions about how Crikya handles your personal data, you can reach our support team at any time via live chat or at [email protected].

2. Data We Collect

Crikya collects personal data in three main ways: information you provide directly, information generated by your use of the platform, and information received from third-party service providers such as payment processors.

Information you provide directly:

  • Full name and date of birth
  • Mobile number and email address
  • National ID or passport details (for KYC verification)
  • bKash or Nagad account number linked to your profile
  • Profile preferences and communication settings
  • Any information you share with our support team during a conversation

Information generated automatically:

  • IP address and approximate geographic location
  • Device type, operating system and browser version
  • Pages visited, time spent on each page and navigation paths
  • Betting and gaming activity, including bet amounts, game selections and session duration
  • Login timestamps and session data

Information from third parties:

  • Transaction confirmation data from bKash and Nagad
  • Identity verification results from KYC service providers
  • Fraud screening signals from payment security partners

Note: Crikya does not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs or biometric data beyond what is strictly required for identity verification under applicable regulations.

3. How We Use Your Data

Every piece of data Crikya collects has a specific, legitimate purpose. We do not collect data speculatively or hold information we have no use for. The table below sets out the main purposes for which we use your personal data.

Purpose Data Used Why It's Necessary
Account registration and management Name, mobile, email, date of birth To create and maintain your Crikya account
Identity verification (KYC) National ID, date of birth, selfie Legal compliance and age verification
Payment processing bKash/Nagad number, transaction data To process deposits and withdrawals securely
Fraud prevention and security IP address, device data, login history To detect and prevent unauthorised access and fraud
Customer support Account details, support conversation history To resolve queries and complaints effectively
Responsible gaming monitoring Betting activity, session data, deposit history To identify and support players showing signs of problem gambling
Platform improvement Usage data, navigation patterns To improve the platform experience for all players
Marketing communications Email, mobile number To send bonus offers and promotions (only with your consent)

Crikya will never use your personal data for any purpose not listed above without first obtaining your explicit consent or being required to do so by law.

5. Data Sharing

Crikya does not sell your personal data. We share data only in the following limited circumstances, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:

  • Payment processors (bKash, Nagad): Transaction data is shared with your mobile banking provider to process deposits and withdrawals. These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle this data.
  • KYC verification providers: Identity documents are shared with our licensed KYC partner to verify your age and identity. This data is processed securely and not retained by the provider beyond the verification process.
  • Game providers: Your player ID and session data are shared with third-party game providers (such as those behind Fortune Horse, Dinosaur Tycoon and Joker Poker) to enable gameplay. These providers do not receive your financial or identity data.
  • Fraud prevention services: Device and behavioural data may be shared with fraud screening partners to protect the platform and all players from fraudulent activity.
  • Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: Crikya will disclose personal data to relevant authorities where required by law, including in response to court orders or regulatory investigations.

All third parties with whom Crikya shares data are contractually required to handle that data securely and to use it only for the specific purpose for which it was shared. Crikya does not permit third parties to use your data for their own marketing purposes.

6. Data Retention

Crikya retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by applicable law and our internal compliance obligations. The general retention periods are as follows:

  • Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your account plus 5 years after closure, in line with standard AML record-keeping requirements.
  • Transaction records: Retained for 7 years from the date of each transaction.
  • Betting and gaming activity: Retained for 3 years from the date of each session.
  • Customer support records: Retained for 3 years from the date of the last interaction.
  • Marketing consent records: Retained until you withdraw consent, plus 1 year thereafter as evidence of consent.

When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.

7. Security Measures

Crikya implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure. These include:

  • 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit
  • Encrypted storage for sensitive data at rest, including identity documents and payment details
  • Role-based access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel only
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for all player accounts
  • Automated monitoring for suspicious login activity and account access patterns
  • Staff training on data protection and security best practices

While Crikya takes every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You also play a role in keeping your account secure — use a strong password, enable 2FA and never share your login credentials with anyone.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Crikya uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences and analyse how the site is used. Here is a breakdown of the types of cookies we use:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery. These cannot be disabled.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and display options. These improve your experience but are not strictly necessary.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how players use the platform — which pages are most visited, where players drop off and how long sessions last. This data is aggregated and anonymised.
  • Marketing cookies: Used to track the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns. These are only set with your consent.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will affect the functionality of the Crikya platform.

9. Your Data Rights

You have a number of rights over your personal data held by Crikya. These rights are set out below. To exercise any of them, contact our support team at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

01
Right of Access

You can request a copy of all personal data Crikya holds about you. We will provide this in a clear, readable format within 30 days of your request.

02
Right to Rectification

If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected. Update basic details directly in your account settings or contact support for identity data corrections.

03
Right to Erasure

You can request deletion of your personal data. Note that some data must be retained for legal compliance reasons (such as AML record-keeping) and cannot be deleted on request alone.

04
Right to Data Portability

You can request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format so you can transfer it to another service provider if you choose to do so.

05
Right to Restrict Processing

In certain circumstances you can ask Crikya to restrict how we process your data — for example, while a dispute about accuracy is being resolved.

06
Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent (such as marketing emails), you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

10. Minors

Crikya is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered on Crikya, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and close the account promptly, returning any deposited funds to the payment source.

All accounts are subject to age verification as part of the KYC process. Accounts that cannot confirm the account holder is 18 or older will be suspended until verification is complete.

11. Changes to This Policy

Crikya may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements or platform features. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players via email and display a prominent notice on the platform. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.

Your continued use of the Crikya platform after any update to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you should stop using the platform and contact us to close your account.
