pkoko Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to pkoko. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect when you use pkoko, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have over your own information. We keep it plain and honest — no legal jargon for the sake of it.

How pkoko Keeps Your Data Safe

Before you read the full policy, here are the six core commitments pkoko makes to every player about their personal data.

Your Data Is Never Sold

pkoko does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party — ever. Your information is used only to operate your account and improve your experience on pkoko.

Industry-Standard Encryption

All data transmitted between your device and pkoko is protected by TLS encryption. Your account credentials and payment details are stored using strong encryption at rest.

You Control Your Data

pkoko gives you the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data. You can request a full copy of everything pkoko holds about you at any time by contacting support.

Minimal Data Collection

pkoko only collects the data that is genuinely necessary to operate your account, process payments, and comply with legal obligations. We do not collect data for the sake of it.

Clear Retention Periods

pkoko retains your data only for as long as it is needed. Account data is kept for the duration of your account plus any legally required retention period, then securely deleted.

Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, pkoko will notify you promptly and take immediate steps to contain and investigate the incident.

01 Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how pkoko ("we", "us", "our", "the Platform") collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal data of players and visitors who use the pkoko website and mobile application (collectively, "the Service").

By registering an account on pkoko or continuing to use the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with how pkoko handles personal data, please do not use the Service.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through pkoko's website, mobile app, and any communications between you and pkoko's support team. It does not apply to third-party websites or services that may be linked from pkoko.

03 How We Collect Your Data

pkoko collects your personal data through the following channels:

  • Direct input: When you fill in the registration form, update your account profile, or submit documents for verification.
  • Payment processing: When you make a deposit or request a withdrawal via bKash, Nagad, or Rocket, transaction data is shared with pkoko by the payment provider.

  • Support interactions: When you contact pkoko's support team by live chat or email, the content of those communications is recorded and stored.
  • Third-party verification: pkoko may use third-party identity verification services to confirm the accuracy of the documents you submit during KYC.

Accuracy of your data: You are responsible for ensuring that the personal data you provide to pkoko is accurate and up to date. Providing false or misleading information is a breach of pkoko's Terms and Conditions and may result in account closure.

04 How We Use Your Data

pkoko uses your personal data only for the purposes listed below. We do not use your data for any purpose that is incompatible with the reason it was originally collected.

05 Who We Share Your Data With

pkoko does not sell your personal data. We share your data only with the categories of third parties listed below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.

  • Payment providers: bKash, Nagad, and Rocket receive the transaction data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle your data.
  • Identity verification services: Third-party KYC providers receive copies of the identity documents you submit, solely for the purpose of verifying your identity.
  • Game providers: The software providers whose games are available on pkoko receive anonymised session data for the purpose of game performance monitoring. They do not receive your name, contact details, or payment information.
  • IT and security providers: Companies that provide hosting, cybersecurity, and platform infrastructure services to pkoko may have access to data stored on pkoko's systems as part of their service delivery.
  • Law enforcement and regulators: pkoko will disclose personal data to law enforcement authorities, regulators, or courts when required to do so by law or in response to a lawful request.

All third parties with whom pkoko shares personal data are required to handle that data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection standards. pkoko does not permit third parties to use your data for their own marketing purposes.
