h888 Privacy Policy
At h888, your privacy is not an afterthought — it is a core part of how we operate. This Privacy Policy explains precisely what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how it is stored and protected, and what rights you hold as a registered player on our Bangladesh-focused platform.
Our Commitment
Six Core Privacy Principles
h888 is committed to handling your personal data responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with applicable data protection standards. These six principles guide every decision we make about your information.
Minimal Collection
We only collect personal data that is strictly necessary to operate the h888 platform, verify your identity, process transactions, and comply with applicable legal obligations. We do not collect data for its own sake.
Secure Storage
All personal data held by h888 is stored on encrypted servers protected by 256-bit SSL technology, firewalls, and access controls. Only authorised personnel with a legitimate operational need may access player records.
Player Control
You have meaningful control over your personal data at h888. You may request access, correction, restriction, or deletion of your records at any time by contacting our support team through your account dashboard.
No Data Sales
h888 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party advertisers, data brokers, or marketing companies. Your data exists to serve your experience on the platform — nothing more.
Full Transparency
This Privacy Policy is written in plain English so that every player across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and beyond can understand exactly how their data is used. We update this policy whenever our practices change and notify players accordingly.
Retention Limits
h888 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Data that is no longer needed is securely deleted or anonymised.

This policy sets out in full how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your personal data, and how you can exercise your rights over that data.

5.2 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure
h888 may disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities, or other government bodies where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or lawful regulatory directive.

h888 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Platform to enhance functionality, improve performance, and deliver a more personalised player experience. The types of cookies we use include:
- Essential cookies: Required for the Platform to function. These include session authentication tokens, security cookies, and load-balancing cookies. These cannot be disabled without disrupting Platform functionality.
- Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, preferred payment method, and recently played games.
- Analytics cookies: Collect anonymised data about how players navigate and interact with the Platform. This data helps h888 identify performance issues and improve the user experience.

6.2 Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You may control non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the h888 Platform, including features such as persistent login sessions and personalised game recommendations. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions on managing cookie settings.
7 Data Security
h888 applies industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security infrastructure includes:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the h888 Platform
- Encrypted storage of all personally identifiable information and payment-related records at rest
- Multi-factor authentication options for player account access
- Role-based access controls ensuring that only authorised h888 personnel with a verified operational need can access player data
- Regular security audits, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments conducted by independent third-party specialists
- Continuous monitoring of Platform activity to detect and respond to suspicious behaviour in real time
Despite these measures, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data security incident that poses a significant risk to your rights or interests, h888 will notify affected players promptly and take all reasonable steps to mitigate harm.
You also play a role in keeping your account secure. You must maintain the confidentiality of your h888 login credentials and notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.
8 Data Retention
h888 retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements. The general retention schedule that applies to different categories of data is as follows:

|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | Duration of account + 5 years post-closure | Legal and regulatory compliance |
| KYC / identity documents | Duration of account + 5 years post-closure | AML obligations |

When personal data is no longer required, h888 will securely delete it or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with any identifiable individual.
9 Your Rights
As a player on the h888 Platform, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team via live chat or email at [email protected].
Request a copy of the personal data h888 holds about you, along with information about how it is processed.
Request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data be corrected or updated without delay.
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, subject to legal retention obligations.
Request that processing of your data be restricted in certain circumstances, such as while a dispute about accuracy is resolved.
Receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format where technically feasible.
Object to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing communications sent by h888.
h888 will respond to all verified rights requests within 30 days of receipt. In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further 60 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason for it. h888 will not charge a fee for exercising these rights unless requests are manifestly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.
10 Children & Minors
The h888 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. h888 does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If you are under 21, you must not register an account or use the Platform in any way.
If h888 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21 without verifiable parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. If you believe that a minor has registered on the Platform, please notify us immediately at [email protected] so that we can investigate and act promptly.
11 Third-Party Links
The h888 Platform may contain references to third-party game providers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi. While game content is delivered through integrations with these providers, h888 remains the data controller for all personal data collected on the Platform. These game providers operate under their own privacy and data security frameworks in relation to any data processed on their own infrastructure.
h888 is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party websites or services that may be accessible via links embedded in provider content. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you engage with independently of the h888 Platform.
12 Policy Updates
h888 reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal obligations, or Platform features. When material changes are made, h888 will notify registered players via email or a prominent on-Platform notification at least 7 days before the changes take effect.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when it was most recently revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how h888 protects your personal data. Your continued use of the Platform after any revised policy takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
