Six Things hgzi Does to Protect Your Privacy

Before you read the full policy, here's a plain-language summary of how hgzi handles your personal data.

Encrypted Data Storage

All personal data stored by hgzi is protected using industry-standard encryption. Your account details, payment information, and activity history are never stored in plain text and cannot be accessed by unauthorised parties.

No Data Selling

hgzi does not sell your personal data to any third party, ever. Your information is used only to operate your account, process payments, and improve the hgzi platform experience for Bangladesh players.

You Control Your Data

hgzi gives you the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data at any time. Contact hgzi support to exercise any of your data rights and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Secure Payment Processing

hgzi never stores your bKash, Nagad, or Rocket credentials. All payment transactions are processed through encrypted channels directly between your mobile banking provider and hgzi's payment processor.

Minimal Data Collection

hgzi only collects the data that is genuinely necessary to operate your account and comply with legal requirements. We don't collect data for the sake of it — if we don't need it to serve you, we don't ask for it.

Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data security incident that affects your personal information, hgzi will notify affected players promptly and take immediate steps to contain and investigate the incident.

Summary: hgzi collects only the data needed to run your account and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your data. You have the right to access, correct, and delete your information at any time by contacting hgzi support at [email protected].

4 Why We Use Your Data

  • To create and manage your hgzi player account.

  • To send you account-related notifications, including transaction confirmations and security alerts.
  • To personalise your experience on the hgzi platform based on your usage patterns.
  • To send you promotional communications about hgzi bonuses and offers, where you have opted in to receive them.

hgzi will not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes listed above without first obtaining your consent or establishing a separate legal basis for the new use.

5 Legal Basis for Processing

hgzi processes your personal data on the following legal bases:

  • Contract performance: Processing necessary to operate your hgzi account and deliver the services you have signed up for, including payment processing and game access.
  • Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws, including identity verification, anti-money laundering checks, and responsible gaming obligations.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and improving hgzi's services, where these interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
  • Consent: Processing for marketing communications and non-essential cookies, where you have given explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting hgzi support or updating your account preferences.

6 Data Sharing

hgzi does not sell your personal data to any third party. hgzi may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients only where necessary and permitted by law:

  • Payment processors: To facilitate deposits and withdrawals through bKash, Nagad, and Rocket.
  • Identity verification providers: To verify your identity and age as required by hgzi's legal obligations.
  • Fraud prevention and security partners: To detect and prevent fraudulent activity on the hgzi platform.

  • Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: Where hgzi is legally required to disclose information, for example in response to a court order or regulatory investigation.

Third-Party Contracts: All third parties who receive personal data from hgzi are required to handle that data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection standards. hgzi does not permit third-party service providers to use your data for their own marketing or commercial purposes.

7 Data Retention

hgzi retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by applicable law and legitimate business needs. The following general retention periods apply:

  • Account and identity data is retained for a minimum of five years after account closure to comply with anti-money laundering and regulatory requirements.
  • Transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years from the date of each transaction.
  • Support communications are retained for two years from the date of the last interaction.
  • Technical and usage data collected through cookies and server logs is retained for up to 12 months.

After the applicable retention period has expired, hgzi will securely delete or anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual. Where data is anonymised rather than deleted, it may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.

8 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

hgzi uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, and understand how players use the hgzi website and app. The following types of cookies are used by hgzi:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the hgzi platform to function correctly. These cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use the platform. They include session management and security cookies.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and login status to improve your experience on hgzi.
  • Analytics cookies: Help hgzi understand how players navigate the platform so we can identify areas for improvement. Data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and does not identify individual players.
  • Marketing cookies: Used to deliver relevant promotional content about hgzi to players who have opted in to marketing communications. These are only active where you have given consent.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the core features of the hgzi platform, but some personalisation features may not function as intended.

Your Role in Security: While hgzi takes extensive measures to protect your data, you also play an important role. Keep your hgzi password strong and unique, never share it with anyone, and contact hgzi support immediately if you notice any suspicious activity on your account.

12 Updates to This Privacy Policy

hgzi may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or platform features. When we make changes, the updated policy will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date at the top.
