DATA HANDLING PRACTICES

How We Protect and Manage Your Account Data

Data security is not a checkbox for us — it is part of how the account system works day to day. Here is what that looks like in practice across four key areas.

Account Security

Your account login is protected with OTP verification sent to your registered mobile number. We do not store plain-text passwords, and session tokens expire after inactivity to reduce unauthorised access risk.

Cookie Use

We use session cookies to keep you logged in during a visit and analytics cookies to understand how pages load on your device. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time.

Data Retention

Transaction records tied to bKash, Nagad, and Rocket deposits are kept for the period required by our operational policy, then removed or anonymised. Account data is deleted within a reasonable period after a confirmed account closure request.

Requesting Changes

To correct, export, or delete your personal data, contact support via live chat or email with your account email and a clear description of your request. We aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe.

We share data only with payment processors such as those handling bKash, Nagad, and Rocket transactions, and with fraud-prevention services. We do not sell your data to any third party for marketing purposes.
