ku9 Privacy Policy
This document explains in detail how we collect, store, and protect the personal information you provide when registering or using services on the ku9 platform.
Introduction and Scope

By using ku9's website, mobile app, or any other digital channel, you are considered to have accepted the terms of this policy.
The purpose of this policy is to ensure your rights over your personal information and to maintain complete transparency about how that information is used. If you disagree with any part of this policy, please contact us or stop using the service.
This Privacy Policy is connected to our Terms and Conditions and both documents should be read together.

Necessary transaction information is shared with mobile financial service providers such as bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay to complete deposit and withdrawal processing. These organisations are governed by their own privacy policies.

In the event of a court order, government investigation, or legal obligation, the relevant authorities may be provided with the necessary information. In such cases we only disclose information as required by law.

Protection of Minors' Information
All ku9 services are intended solely for persons aged 21 or older. We do not knowingly collect information from any minor. Age verification during registration is mandatory.
If evidence is found that any account contains information belonging to a minor, that account will be closed immediately and the related information will be deleted. If a parent or legal guardian becomes aware of such an incident, please notify our support team without delay.
International Data Transfers
Some of ku9's technology partners use servers located outside Bangladesh. In such cases your information may be transferred internationally. For these transfers we ensure that the receiving party maintains appropriate data protection standards.
For international data transfers, we protect your privacy through contractual safeguards and technical security measures.

Continued use of the platform after the updated policy is published will be considered acceptance of the new policy. We therefore recommend reviewing this page regularly.
