Last updated: January 2024

What This Privacy Policy Covers

A plain-language overview of the key areas in the Criex Privacy Policy. The full policy is set out below.

What We Collect

Registration details, payment information, device data, and gameplay activity. We only collect what is necessary to run the platform and keep your account secure.

Your privacy matters to Criex. This Privacy Policy explains how Criex collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of players and visitors on the Criex platform. By registering or using Criex, you agree to the practices described in this policy. Please read it carefully.

1 Introduction

Criex is an online gaming platform built for players in Bangladesh. When you use Criex — whether you're browsing the site, registering an account, making a deposit, or playing a game — we collect certain information about you. This Privacy Policy explains what that information is, why we need it, and how we handle it.

We take privacy seriously at Criex. The platform is built on trust, and that trust extends to how we handle your personal data. We collect only what we need, we use it only for the purposes stated here, and we do not sell it to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes unrelated to Criex.

This policy applies to all users of the Criex website and app, including registered players and visitors who browse without an account. It should be read alongside the Criex Terms and Conditions, which govern your use of the platform overall.

2 Data We Collect

Criex collects personal data in several ways — directly from you when you register or interact with the platform, automatically when you use the site or app, and from third parties such as payment processors during transactions.

Category Examples How Collected
Identity data Name, date of birth, national ID number Registration form, verification process
Contact data Mobile number, email address Registration form
Financial data bKash/Nagad/Rocket wallet number, transaction history Deposit and withdrawal process
Technical data IP address, device type, browser, operating system Automatically on site/app access
Usage data Pages visited, games played, session duration Automatically via cookies and logs
Communications data Support chat history, email correspondence When you contact Criex support

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or health data unless specifically required for responsible gaming purposes and with your explicit consent.

3 How We Use Your Data

Criex uses the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

  • To create and manage your Criex account and verify your identity.
  • To process deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, and Rocket.
  • To provide customer support and respond to your queries.
  • To send you account-related notifications such as deposit confirmations and withdrawal updates.
  • To detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other prohibited activities.
  • To comply with legal and regulatory obligations applicable to Criex.
  • To improve the platform based on how players use it.
  • To send promotional communications about Criex offers, where you have opted in to receive them.
  • To operate responsible gaming tools such as deposit limits and self-exclusion.

Criex does not use your data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review. If you have questions about how your data is used in a specific context, contact our support team.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

Criex processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:

  • Contract performance: Processing necessary to operate your account, process payments, and deliver the services you signed up for.
  • Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws, including anti-money laundering regulations and identity verification requirements.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and improving the Criex experience — where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Consent: Processing for marketing communications and non-essential cookies, where you have given explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Withdrawing consent: If you have consented to marketing communications from Criex, you can opt out at any time by contacting support or using the unsubscribe option in any marketing message. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5 Data Sharing

Criex does not sell your personal data. We share your data only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:

  • Payment processors: bKash, Nagad, and Rocket receive transaction data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals.
  • Identity verification providers: Third-party services used to verify your identity during the KYC process receive the data required for that verification.
  • Game providers: Game software providers may receive anonymised or pseudonymised usage data to support game performance and fairness auditing.
  • Regulatory and legal authorities: Criex may be required to share data with law enforcement or regulatory bodies in response to a lawful request.
  • Service providers: Hosting, analytics, and customer support tools used by Criex may process data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements.

All third parties who process data on behalf of Criex are required to handle that data securely and in accordance with applicable privacy standards. They are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes beyond the service they provide to Criex.

6 Payment Data

When you make a deposit or withdrawal on Criex using bKash, Nagad, or Rocket, your mobile wallet number and transaction reference are processed to complete the transaction. Criex does not store full payment credentials on its own servers — payment data is handled by the respective payment provider under their own security standards.

  • Criex retains transaction records (amounts, dates, wallet numbers) for accounting and regulatory compliance purposes.
  • Transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years in line with standard financial record-keeping requirements.
  • Deposits must be made from a payment account registered in your own name. Criex uses payment data to verify this requirement.

Security note: Criex will never ask for your full bKash, Nagad, or Rocket PIN via any channel. If you receive a message claiming to be from Criex and asking for your wallet PIN, do not respond and contact our support team immediately.

7 Data Retention

Criex retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by law or legitimate business need. The general retention periods we apply are as follows:

  • Account and identity data: retained for the duration of your account plus five years after closure.
  • Transaction records: retained for a minimum of five years from the date of the transaction.
  • Support communications: retained for two years from the date of the last interaction.
  • Technical and usage data: retained for up to 12 months on a rolling basis.
  • Marketing consent records: retained for the duration of your consent plus two years.

When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual. If you request deletion of your account data, Criex will action this subject to any legal retention obligations that require us to keep certain records.

8 Data Security

Criex takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement technical and organisational measures designed to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

  • All data transmitted between your device and Criex is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security).
  • Data stored on Criex servers is encrypted at rest.
  • Access to personal data is restricted to authorised Criex personnel who need it to perform their role.
  • Criex conducts regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments of the platform.
  • In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, Criex will notify affected users promptly.

While Criex takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You also play a role in keeping your account secure — use a strong, unique password for your Criex account and do not share your login credentials with anyone.

9 Cookies and Tracking

Criex uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the website and app. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the platform function correctly and allow us to understand how it is being used.

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in. They cannot be disabled without affecting platform functionality.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and display options.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how players use the platform — which pages are visited most, where players drop off, and how the app performs on different devices.
  • Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect the integrity of the platform.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using Criex, but some features may not work as intended. Criex does not use third-party advertising cookies or share cookie data with advertisers.

11 Children's Privacy

Criex is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you must not register on Criex or attempt to use the platform in any way.

If Criex becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 18, that account will be closed immediately and the data will be deleted. If you believe a minor has registered on Criex, please contact our support team immediately so we can investigate and take action.

12 Changes to This Policy

Criex may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate, changes in applicable law, or improvements to our data practices. When changes are made, the updated policy will be published on this page with a revised "last updated" date.

For significant changes that affect how your data is used, Criex will notify registered players via the contact details on their account. Continued use of Criex after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. If you do not agree with any changes, you should stop using Criex and contact support to close your account.

Privacy Built Into the Platform

Privacy at Criex isn't an afterthought — it's part of how the platform was designed from the start.

Encrypted End to End

Every connection between your device and Criex is encrypted with TLS. Your login, your deposits, your game activity — all of it travels over a secure, encrypted channel that protects your data in transit.

Secure Data Storage

Data stored on Criex servers is encrypted at rest. Access is restricted to authorised personnel only, and access logs are maintained. Your information doesn't just sit in an open database — it's protected at every layer.

We Don't Sell Your Data

Criex does not sell personal data to advertisers, data brokers, or any unrelated third parties. The data you share with us stays within the Criex ecosystem and is used only for the purposes described in this policy.

You Stay in Control

You can access your data, correct it, restrict how it's used, or request deletion at any time. Criex makes it straightforward to exercise your privacy rights — just contact support and we'll handle it promptly.

Minimal Data Collection

Criex collects only the data that is genuinely needed to run the platform, process payments, and comply with legal requirements. We don't ask for information we don't need, and we don't keep it longer than necessary.

Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your personal information, Criex will notify affected players promptly. We don't hide security incidents — transparency is part of how we build trust.
