5. Legal Bases for Processing

gc444 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and gc444 — specifically, to provide the services described in our Terms & Conditions. This includes account management, payment processing, and service delivery.

6. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Data

gc444 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We share personal data only in the following limited and controlled circumstances:

6.1 Service Providers and Data Processors

gc444 engages carefully selected third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf and under our instructions. These include:

• KYC and Identity Verification Providers: To perform document verification and age checks as part of our compliance programme.
• Payment Processors: Including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay, to facilitate deposits and withdrawals.
• IT Infrastructure and Hosting Providers: Who host gc444 platform data on secure servers.
• Fraud Detection and Security Providers: Who assist in identifying suspicious activity and protecting the platform.
• Customer Support Tools: Third-party live chat and ticketing platforms used to manage support interactions.

All third-party processors are contractually bound to process your data only as instructed by gc444, to maintain appropriate security measures, and to keep your data strictly confidential.

6.2 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure

gc444 may disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, courts, or other public authorities where required to do so by applicable law, by legal process, or where gc444 has a good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, protect the rights of gc444 or other users, or respond to a verified legal request.

6.3 Business Transfers

In the event that gc444 undergoes a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or other corporate reorganisation, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified via a prominent notice on the gc444 Platform and, where required, via email prior to any such transfer taking effect.

7. International Data Transfers

The gc444 Platform serves players primarily in Bangladesh. Some of our third-party service providers — particularly cloud hosting providers and KYC verification platforms — may process data in countries outside Bangladesh. Where personal data is transferred internationally, gc444 ensures that such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, including contractual data protection clauses that provide a level of protection equivalent to applicable data protection standards.

By using the gc444 Platform, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than Bangladesh. gc444 will always take reasonable steps to ensure the security and integrity of your data during any such transfer.

8. Data Retention

gc444 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the specific purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law. The key retention periods that apply to gc444 player data are as follows:

• Active Account Data: Retained for the full duration of your account and for a minimum of five years following account closure, in accordance with AML and KYC legal obligations.
• Financial Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of each transaction, as required by applicable financial regulations.
• KYC Documents: Retained for a minimum of five years following the completion of verification, or for longer periods where required by law.
• Usage and Technical Logs: Retained for up to 24 months from the date of collection, after which they are aggregated or deleted.
• Customer Support Records: Retained for up to 36 months from the date of the interaction, to support quality assurance and dispute resolution.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, gc444 will securely delete or irreversibly anonymise your personal data in accordance with industry-standard data destruction practices.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

9.1 What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the gc444 Platform when you visit or interact with it. They allow the Platform to recognise your device, maintain your session, and remember certain preferences across visits.

9.2 Types of Cookies Used by gc444

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the operation of the Platform. These cookies enable core functions such as login session management, security tokens, and navigation. They cannot be disabled without rendering the Platform non-functional.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: Used to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how visitors use the Platform — for example, which pages are visited most frequently and whether any error messages are received. This information helps gc444 improve platform performance and user experience.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or display settings) and provide a more personalised experience.

gc444 does not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or third-party tracking technologies that share your activity with external advertising networks.

9.3 Managing Cookies

You may control and manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please be aware that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to use the gc444 Platform, as session management and authentication depend on them. For guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser, please refer to your browser's help documentation.

10. Security of Your Personal Data

gc444 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and the gc444 servers
• Encryption of sensitive data at rest within our database infrastructure
• Strict role-based access controls ensuring that only authorised personnel can access personal data, limited to what is necessary for their specific role
• Regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing conducted by independent security specialists
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) options available to players to strengthen account-level security
• Real-time fraud detection and anomaly monitoring systems that flag unusual account activity for immediate review
• Incident response procedures to detect, contain, and report any data breach in a timely manner

While gc444 takes all reasonable precautions to safeguard your personal data, no system connected to the internet can guarantee absolute security. In the unlikely event of a data breach that may affect your rights or interests, gc444 will notify affected players promptly and take all necessary remedial action.

11. Your Rights Over Your Personal Data

As a gc444 player, you hold the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team via live chat or at [email protected]. We will respond to all verified requests within 30 days.

• Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal data that gc444 holds about you, along with information about how it is processed.
• Right to Rectification: You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data held about you. You may also update certain personal details directly within your gc444 account dashboard.
• Right to Erasure: You may request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, where the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where you have withdrawn consent. Please note that erasure requests may be limited where retention is required by applicable law (e.g., AML obligations).
• Right to Restriction of Processing: You may request that gc444 restricts the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as while an accuracy dispute is being resolved.
• Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on your consent or contractual necessity and carried out by automated means, you may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where gc444 processes your data based on your consent (e.g., for promotional communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
• Right to Object: You may object to the processing of your personal data where that processing is based on gc444's legitimate interests. We will cease the relevant processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

12. Children and Minors

The gc444 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. gc444 does not knowingly collect, process, or store personal data belonging to individuals under the age of 21. If gc444 discovers that personal data has been collected from a minor, that account will be immediately suspended, the data will be deleted without delay, and any funds held in the account will be handled in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.

If you believe that a minor has registered a gc444 account or that gc444 may have inadvertently collected personal data from a person under 21, please notify us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take appropriate action within 24 hours of receiving your notification.

13. Links to Third-Party Services

The gc444 Platform may contain references to third-party payment services (such as bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay) and game content providers (such as Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, and Ezugi). While gc444 selects its partners carefully, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any third-party service. Each third-party provider operates under its own privacy policy, and we encourage you to review those policies before using their services.

This Privacy Policy applies solely to personal data collected and processed by gc444 through the gc444 Platform. gc444 accepts no liability for the data practices of any third party.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

gc444 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or the services we offer. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy will be revised accordingly whenever a material change is made.

Where changes are significant, gc444 will notify registered players via email or via a prominent notice on the Platform prior to the changes taking effect. Your continued use of the gc444 Platform after a revised Privacy Policy has been published constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to remain informed about how gc444 collects, uses, and protects your personal data.
