Section 5
5. Data Sharing & Third-Party Disclosure

vb888 does not sell, rent, or commercially share your personal data with third parties for their own independent use. However, we do share personal data with certain categories of trusted third-party service providers and partners strictly as necessary to operate the vb888 platform:

5.1 Payment Processing Partners

To process deposits and withdrawals, vb888 shares relevant transaction and identity data with our payment processing partners, which include bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, Islami Bank, Sonali Bank, Visa, and Mastercard. These partners act as independent data controllers for their own payment systems and are bound by their own privacy policies and applicable financial regulations.

5.2 Game Studio Providers

The gaming content available on vb888 is provided by third-party studio partners including Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi. These providers may receive anonymised or pseudonymised session data necessary to operate the game software. No directly identifiable personal data (such as full name or NID number) is shared with game studio providers.

5.3 Identity Verification Services

vb888 may use third-party KYC and identity verification service providers to assist with document authentication. Any such provider operates under a strict data processing agreement with vb888 and is permitted to use data only for the purpose of identity verification on our behalf.

5.4 Legal & Regulatory Disclosure

vb888 will disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, courts, or other competent authorities where required to do so by a valid legal obligation, court order, or governmental direction. Where legally permitted to do so, vb888 will notify the affected User of any such disclosure request.

5.5 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or business restructuring involving vb888, User personal data may be transferred as part of the transaction. vb888 will provide reasonable advance notice of any such transfer and will ensure that the recipient entity is bound by privacy obligations at least as protective as those in this Policy.

Section 9
9. Your Privacy Rights

As a vb888 User, you hold a number of rights with respect to the personal data we hold about you. vb888 is committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights in a timely and transparent manner.

9.1 Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data vb888 holds about you, along with information about how that data is being used. Requests should be submitted to [email protected] with the subject line "Data Access Request". vb888 will respond within 30 days of receipt of a valid request.

9.2 Right to Rectification

If any personal data vb888 holds about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request its correction. Account details such as contact information may be updated by contacting our support team. Changes to KYC-verified data (name, date of birth) require documentary evidence.

9.3 Right to Erasure

You may request that vb888 delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you have withdrawn consent (for consent-based processing), or where you object to processing based on legitimate interests. Please note that vb888 is required by law to retain certain categories of data (particularly financial and KYC records) for defined periods, during which erasure requests cannot be fulfilled for those specific data categories.

9.4 Right to Restrict Processing

You may request that vb888 restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, where you contest the accuracy of the data while vb888 verifies it, or where processing is unlawful but you prefer restriction over erasure.

9.5 Right to Data Portability

Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and to request that vb888 transmit that data to another service provider where technically feasible.

9.6 Right to Object

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data where that processing is based on vb888's legitimate interests. vb888 will cease such processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.

9.7 Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent — such as for marketing communications — you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting [email protected]. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.

Section 10
10. Children & Minors

vb888 operates a strict 21+ only policy. Our platform is not directed at, designed for, or intended to be used by any individual under the age of 21. vb888 does not knowingly collect or process personal data relating to individuals under the age of 21.

If vb888 discovers or has reason to believe that personal data of an individual under 21 has been collected — including through misrepresentation during the registration process — we will immediately suspend the associated Account, void any Bets or Winnings, and permanently delete the minor's personal data in accordance with our data retention and security procedures.

If you are a parent or guardian and have reason to believe that a minor in your care has registered an Account on vb888, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take appropriate action without delay.

Section 11
11. Third-Party Links

The vb888 platform may contain references to third-party services such as payment method providers (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay), game studio providers (Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, Ezugi), and sports data services. vb888 does not control the privacy practices of any third-party service and is not responsible for the content or privacy policies of those external services.

Users who interact with third-party platforms — including when making a deposit via the bKash app or completing a Nagad transaction — are subject to the privacy policy and terms of service of that third-party platform independently of this vb888 Privacy Policy. vb888 encourages Users to review the privacy policies of any third-party services they interact with.

Section 12
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

vb888 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal obligations, or platform features. The current version number and effective date are displayed at the top of this page and in the Document Info panel in the sidebar.

Where changes to this Policy are material — meaning they significantly affect how we collect, use, or share your personal data — vb888 will make reasonable efforts to notify registered Users by email to the address associated with their Account, or by posting a prominent notice on the vb888 platform homepage, prior to the changes taking effect.

Continued use of the vb888 platform after a revised Privacy Policy has been posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy. If you do not agree to the revised Policy, you must cease using the platform and may contact [email protected] to request Account closure and data deletion in accordance with our retention obligations.
