Processing is required to comply with applicable laws, including age verification requirements, anti-money-laundering regulations, fraud prevention obligations, and any reporting requirements applicable to basa18's operations.
4.3 Legitimate Interests
Processing is necessary for basa18's legitimate business interests, including maintaining platform security, preventing fraud and abuse, improving our services, and protecting the integrity of the gaming environment â provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

5. Data Sharing & Third Parties
basa18 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own commercial purposes.

5.1 Payment Processors
We share transaction-related data with payment providers including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers receive only the minimum data necessary to complete the transaction and are bound by their own privacy and security obligations.
5.2 Identity Verification Providers
To meet KYC and age verification requirements, we may share identity document data with third-party verification service providers. These providers process your documents securely and return a verification result to basa18 without retaining your data beyond what is legally required.

basa18 may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or other competent authorities where required to do so by law, court order, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of basa18, our players, or the public.
6. Data Retention
basa18 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal, regulatory, or accounting obligations. The following general retention periods apply:
Retained for the duration of your active account plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, to meet legal and regulatory obligations.
Retained for a minimum of seven (7) years from the date of the transaction to comply with financial record-keeping and anti-money-laundering requirements.
Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of verification or account closure, whichever is later.
Retained for two (2) years from the date of the interaction, or longer if the interaction relates to an ongoing dispute, investigation, or legal proceeding.
Retained for the duration of your consent and for a period of three (3) years following withdrawal of consent to demonstrate compliance.
After the applicable retention period has expired, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised such that it can no longer be associated with you.

You have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data held by basa18 be corrected or updated without undue delay.

8. Data Security
basa18 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Our security measures include, but are not limited to, 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the basa18 platform; encrypted storage of passwords and sensitive personal data; strict access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a need-to-know basis; regular security audits and vulnerability assessments; and two-factor authentication options for account access.
While we take every reasonable precaution, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data, and you use the basa18 platform at your own risk in this respect. If you suspect your basa18 account has been compromised, please contact support immediately.
9. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
basa18 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us recognise you across sessions, remember your preferences, and analyse how the platform is used.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the basa18 platform to function. They enable core features such as login session management, security authentication, and load balancing. These cookies cannot be disabled without impairing platform functionality.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players interact with the basa18 platform. This information is used to identify popular features, understand navigation patterns, and improve overall user experience.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your settings and preferences (such as language selection or display preferences) so that your experience feels consistent across sessions.
You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Disabling non-essential cookies may affect the functionality or personalisation of your basa18 experience but will not prevent you from using the core platform.
Our Privacy Commitments to You
These six principles guide every data decision basa18 makes on behalf of its players.
256-Bit SSL Encryption
Every piece of data transmitted between your device and basa18 is protected by industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption, the same technology used by major international banks and financial institutions.
We Never Sell Your Data
basa18 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their own commercial purposes. Your data is used solely to deliver and improve the services you have signed up for.
Data Minimisation
We collect only the personal data that is genuinely necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not collect data speculatively or retain it beyond the periods set out in Section 6.
Full Transparency
This Privacy Policy is written in clear, plain English so that every basa18 player understands exactly what data is collected, why, and how it is used. We do not hide behind vague or ambiguous language.
Player Control
You have meaningful rights over your personal data, including access, correction, deletion, and objection to certain types of processing. These rights are described in Section 7 and can be exercised by contacting our support team.
Regulatory Compliance
basa18 maintains data processing practices in line with internationally recognised data protection principles, including purpose limitation, storage limitation, accuracy, and integrity. Our KYC and AML processes are carried out to protect both our players and the integrity of the platform.
10. Minors & Age Restriction
basa18 is strictly for players aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If you believe that a minor has registered an account or provided personal data to basa18, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can investigate and take appropriate action, including account closure and data deletion.
Age verification is a core component of our registration process. basa18 reserves the right to request documentary proof of age at any time, and accounts where age cannot be confirmed will be suspended until verification is complete. This requirement applies to all players regardless of their location within Bangladesh or their prior account history.
