Kerkiya Privacy Policy

Your privacy is not a formality at kerkiya — it is a core part of how the platform is built and operated. This policy explains exactly what data kerkiya collects, why it is collected, how it is used, and what rights you have over your own information.

Kerkiya's Privacy Commitments

Six principles that define how kerkiya handles your personal data — before you read the full policy.

Minimal Data Collection

Kerkiya only collects the data that is genuinely needed to operate your account, process payments, and comply with legal requirements. Nothing extra, nothing unnecessary. If a piece of information is not needed, kerkiya does not ask for it.

Encrypted at Every Step

All data transmitted between your device and kerkiya is protected by SSL/TLS encryption. Your password is stored in hashed form — not even kerkiya staff can read it. Payment data is handled by certified payment processors and never stored on kerkiya's servers directly.

Never Sold to Anyone

Kerkiya does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. Your information stays within the kerkiya ecosystem and is shared externally only where strictly required for payment processing or legal compliance.

Your Data, Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data at any time. Contact kerkiya support at [email protected] and the team will process your request within 30 days. Account closure requests include full data deletion where legally permitted.

Cookies That Actually Help

Kerkiya uses cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and improve platform performance. Kerkiya does not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels. You can manage cookie preferences from your browser settings at any time.

Marketing on Your Terms

Kerkiya will only send you promotional communications if you have opted in during registration or from your account settings. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in any email or by contacting [email protected] directly.


1 Who We Are

Kerkiya is an online gaming platform operated at kerkiya.vip, serving players primarily in Bangladesh. When this Privacy Policy refers to "kerkiya", "we", "us", or "our", it means the kerkiya platform and the team responsible for operating it.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through the kerkiya website, mobile app, and any related services. It explains what data kerkiya collects from you, why it is collected, how it is used, who it may be shared with, and what rights you have in relation to your own data.

By registering a kerkiya account or using any part of the kerkiya platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with how kerkiya handles your data, please do not register or continue using the platform.

2 Data We Collect

Kerkiya collects personal data in two ways: information you provide directly when using the platform, and information collected automatically as you interact with the platform.

Information you provide directly:

  • Identity verification data: National ID card, passport, or other government-issued identification documents submitted during KYC verification.

  • Responsible gaming data: Deposit limits, session limits, and self-exclusion preferences you set within your account.

  • Transaction data: Deposit and withdrawal history, bet history, game results, and bonus activity.

3 How We Use Your Data

Kerkiya uses your personal data only for the purposes described below. Data is never used for purposes beyond what is listed here without your explicit consent.

  • Account management: Creating and maintaining your kerkiya account, verifying your identity, and managing your account settings and preferences.
  • Payment processing: Processing deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and bank transfer. Verifying that payment accounts are registered in your name.
  • Fraud prevention and security: Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, money laundering, and unauthorised account access. Monitoring for suspicious patterns in account activity.
  • Regulatory compliance: Meeting Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations. Maintaining records as required by applicable law.
  • Customer support: Responding to your enquiries, resolving disputes, and providing assistance with your kerkiya account.
  • Platform improvement: Analysing usage patterns to improve the kerkiya platform, fix bugs, and develop new features.
  • Responsible gaming: Monitoring gaming activity to identify potential problem gambling patterns and to apply responsible gaming tools where appropriate.
  • Marketing communications: Sending promotional offers and updates — only if you have opted in. You can opt out at any time.

Kerkiya does not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review. All account suspension decisions involve a manual review process.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

Kerkiya processes your personal data on the following legal grounds, depending on the purpose of processing:

  • Contractual necessity: Processing required to fulfil the contract between you and kerkiya — including account creation, payment processing, and game operation.
  • Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including KYC, AML, and data retention requirements.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing carried out for kerkiya's legitimate business interests, including fraud prevention, platform security, and platform improvement — where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Consent: Processing based on your explicit consent, such as receiving marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

Where kerkiya relies on your consent as the legal basis for processing, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting [email protected] or updating your account preferences.

5 Data Sharing

Kerkiya does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. Data is shared externally only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Payment processors: bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and banking partners receive the minimum data necessary to process your transactions. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and are bound by contractual data protection obligations.
  • Identity verification providers: Third-party KYC service providers may receive copies of your identity documents to complete verification. These providers are certified and operate under strict data security standards.
  • Legal and regulatory authorities: Kerkiya may disclose your data to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or courts where required by law or in response to a valid legal request.
  • Platform service providers: Hosting, analytics, and customer support tool providers who process data on kerkiya's behalf under data processing agreements that prohibit independent use of your data.

All third parties who receive your data from kerkiya are required to handle it in accordance with applicable data protection standards. Kerkiya does not transfer your personal data to countries outside your region without ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place.

Kerkiya never shares your data with advertisers, data brokers, or any party for commercial marketing purposes. Your information is used only to operate and improve the kerkiya platform.

6 Data Retention

Kerkiya retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by law or legitimate business need. The following retention periods apply:

Data Type Retention Period Reason
Account registration data Duration of account + 5 years Legal and regulatory compliance
Transaction records 7 years from transaction date Financial record-keeping obligations
KYC documents 5 years from account closure AML compliance requirements
Support communications 3 years from last interaction Dispute resolution and quality assurance
Usage and behavioural data 2 years from collection Platform improvement and fraud detection
Marketing preferences Until opt-out or account closure Consent management

After the applicable retention period, your data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual. Anonymised data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes.

7 Cookies and Tracking

Kerkiya uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to make the platform work correctly and to improve your experience. Kerkiya uses only the categories of cookies described below.

  • 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 without breaking core platform functionality.
  • Preference cookies: Store your language, display, and notification preferences so you do not have to reset them each visit.
  • Analytics cookies: Collect anonymised data about how players use the kerkiya platform — which pages are visited most, where users drop off, and how long sessions last. This data is used to improve the platform and is not linked to your personal identity.

Kerkiya does not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or any third-party tracking technology designed to follow you across other websites. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to use the kerkiya platform.

Kerkiya's cookie usage is limited to what is needed to run the platform and understand how it is used. No advertising networks or data brokers receive cookie data from kerkiya.

8 Your Rights

As a kerkiya user, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact [email protected] with your request. Kerkiya will respond within 30 days.

  • Right of access: You can request a copy of all personal data kerkiya holds about you.
  • Right to rectification: You can request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
  • Right to erasure: You can request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to legal retention obligations.
  • Right to restrict processing: You can request that kerkiya limits how your data is used in certain circumstances, for example while a dispute is being resolved.
  • Right to data portability: You can request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Right to object: You can object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling for responsible gaming purposes.
  • Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing.

Some data deletion requests may be limited by legal retention obligations — for example, transaction records required for AML compliance cannot be deleted before the mandatory retention period expires. Kerkiya will always explain any limitations when responding to your request.

9 Data Security

Kerkiya takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements a range of technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure.

  • SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and kerkiya is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.
  • Password hashing: Your account password is stored using a one-way cryptographic hash. Kerkiya staff cannot read your password under any circumstances.
  • Access controls: Access to personal data within kerkiya's systems is restricted to staff who need it to perform their job functions. All access is logged and audited.
  • Payment data isolation: Full payment credentials are handled exclusively by certified payment processors. Kerkiya stores only the minimum reference data needed to identify transactions.
  • Regular security reviews: Kerkiya conducts regular reviews of its security practices and updates them in response to emerging threats.

Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. If you suspect that your kerkiya account has been compromised, contact [email protected] immediately. Kerkiya will investigate and take appropriate action, including temporary account suspension if necessary to protect your funds.

10 Children and Minors

The kerkiya platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Kerkiya does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you must not register an account or use the kerkiya platform.

If kerkiya discovers that personal data has been collected from a person under 18, the account will be closed immediately, all associated data will be deleted, and any deposited funds will be returned to the payment source. If you believe a minor has registered on kerkiya, please contact [email protected] immediately.

Age verification is a mandatory step in the kerkiya registration and withdrawal process. Kerkiya reserves the right to request proof of age at any time and to suspend accounts where age cannot be confirmed.

11 Changes to This Policy

Kerkiya may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the platform, applicable law, or data processing practices. When changes are made, the updated policy will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.

For significant changes that affect how your data is used, kerkiya will notify registered users via email or an in-platform notification at least 7 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the kerkiya platform after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

If you do not agree with the updated Privacy Policy, you should stop using the platform and contact [email protected] to request account closure and data deletion.
