How We Use Your Information
hi99 uses the personal information we collect for the following purposes. We process your data only where we have a legitimate basis to do so, which includes performing our contractual obligations to you, complying with legal requirements, and pursuing our legitimate business interests where these do not override your privacy rights.
| Purpose | Data Used | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration and management | Name, email, mobile number, date of birth, address | Contract performance |
| Identity verification (KYC) | NID / passport copy, date of birth, name | Legal obligation / Contract |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals | Payment account references, transaction history | Contract performance |
| Fraud prevention and AML monitoring | Transaction data, IP address, device data, usage patterns | Legal obligation / Legitimate interest |
| Customer support and dispute resolution | Communication records, account history | Contract performance / Legitimate interest |
| Responsible gaming monitoring | Gaming activity, deposit history, self-exclusion records | Legal obligation / Legitimate interest |
| Platform analytics and improvement | Usage data, device data, cookie data | Legitimate interest |
| Promotional communications (opted-in players) | Email address, mobile number, gaming preferences | Consent |
Marketing Communications: hi99 will only send you promotional emails or SMS messages if you have explicitly opted in to receive them during registration or through your account settings. You may withdraw your consent to marketing communications at any time by contacting support at [email protected] or by adjusting your account notification preferences. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place prior to the withdrawal.
Automated Decision-Making: hi99 uses automated systems to detect fraud, monitor for responsible gaming indicators, and flag unusual betting patterns. Where an automated decision has a significant effect on your account (such as a temporary freeze pending investigation), you have the right to request a human review of that decision by contacting hi99 support.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
hi99 does not sell or rent your personal data. We may share your information with carefully selected third parties only in the circumstances set out below.
Service Providers and Technology Partners: hi99 works with third-party vendors who process data on our behalf to deliver platform services. These include:
- Game Providers: Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, PG Soft, Spribe, and Ezugi receive pseudonymised session data necessary to deliver their games. They do not receive your full identity or payment information.
- Payment Processors: Mobile financial service providers (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, SureCash, Tap) receive only the transaction data required to process your deposit or withdrawal. hi99 does not share your full profile with payment partners.
- KYC and Identity Verification Vendors: Third-party identity verification services may process your KYC documents on hi99's behalf. These vendors are contractually bound to handle your documents securely and to use them solely for verification purposes.
- Analytics Providers: Platform performance and usage analytics are processed by contracted analytics vendors using anonymised or aggregated data that cannot be used to identify individual players.
Legal and Regulatory Disclosures: hi99 will disclose personal data to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or financial intelligence units — including the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) — when required to do so by applicable law, court order, or regulatory direction. Such disclosures are made in good faith and to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the relevant legal obligation.
Business Transfers: In the event that hi99 undergoes a merger, acquisition, or transfer of all or part of its business assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer and the privacy terms applicable to your data following the transaction.

Managing Cookies: You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, and set notifications when a cookie is placed. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect the functionality of the hi99 platform — for example, you will not be able to remain logged in between pages if session cookies are blocked.
No Third-Party Advertising Cookies: hi99 does not use third-party advertising cookies or retargeting pixels on the hi99.im platform. We do not serve behavioural advertising based on your browsing activity across other websites.
hi99 does not use fingerprinting, supercookies, or any tracking technology designed to circumvent cookie controls you have applied in your browser.
Data Security Measures
hi99 implements a layered security architecture to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security measures include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Transport Layer Security (TLS): All data transmitted between your device and hi99.im is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. The presence of "https://" in your browser's address bar confirms that your connection is secured.
- Data Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data — including KYC documents, payment references, and account credentials — is stored in encrypted form on hi99's servers. Encryption keys are managed using industry-standard key management practices.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data held by hi99 is strictly limited to authorised personnel who require the data to perform their job functions. All internal access is logged and audited regularly.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): hi99 supports OTP-based two-factor authentication for player accounts, which we strongly encourage all players to activate through their account security settings.
- Intrusion Detection and Monitoring: hi99's infrastructure is monitored continuously for suspicious activity, anomalous login patterns, and potential security incidents.
- Penetration Testing: hi99 conducts periodic security assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Despite the measures described above, no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. hi99 takes its security obligations seriously, but we cannot provide an absolute guarantee against all possible security threats. You are encouraged to use a strong, unique password for your hi99 account and to enable OTP-based authentication to minimise personal risk.
Data Retention Policy
hi99 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following retention periods apply:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Legal obligation, AML compliance |
| KYC / identity documents | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Regulatory requirement |
| Transaction records | 7 years from transaction date | Financial record-keeping obligations |
| Support communications | 3 years from last interaction | Dispute resolution, service quality |
| Game and betting history | 5 years from date of activity | Responsible gaming, dispute resolution |
| Analytics and usage data | 24 months from collection | Platform improvement |
| Self-exclusion records | Permanently retained | Prevention of re-registration by excluded players |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, hi99 will securely delete or anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be used to identify you. Where anonymisation is not technically feasible, data will be securely destroyed using industry-standard data destruction methods.
Where you request deletion of your account before the end of a statutory retention period, hi99 will close your account and restrict active use of your data, but will retain the minimum data required to meet its legal obligations for the remainder of the applicable retention period.

hi99 will not charge a fee for processing a privacy rights request unless the request is manifestly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive, in which case a reasonable administrative fee may apply. hi99 reserves the right to ask for proof of identity before processing any rights request to ensure that data is not disclosed to unauthorised parties.
