Introduction
hivip ("we", "us", "our", or "the Platform") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all users who access or interact with the hivip platform at hivip.io. This Privacy Policy sets out in clear, formal terms how hivip collects, processes, stores, shares, and protects personal data provided by players, visitors, and prospective users, with particular reference to individuals based in Bangladesh.
This Privacy Policy forms part of the contractual relationship between you and hivip and should be read in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions, which are available at hivip.io/terms-conditions. By registering an account on the hivip platform, making a deposit, or otherwise using any part of the platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and that you consent to the processing of your personal data in accordance with the terms set out herein.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in applicable regulations, platform features, or our internal data handling practices. The date of the most recent revision is displayed at the top of this document. Continued use of the hivip platform following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

hivip collects personal data from users through several channels, including account registration forms, identity verification processes, transaction records, platform activity logs, and communications with our support team. The categories of data we collect are described below.

How We Use Your Data
hivip uses the personal data collected from you for the following specific purposes. We do not process your data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes described below without first obtaining your separate consent.
- Account creation and management: To register your hivip account, authenticate your identity at login, and maintain accurate account records throughout your relationship with the platform.
- Transaction processing: To facilitate deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and other supported payment methods, and to maintain accurate financial records of all transactions.
- Identity and age verification: To confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years and to verify that the identity you have provided is accurate, as required under our responsible gaming and anti-fraud obligations.
- Anti-money laundering (AML) compliance: To monitor transactions and account activity for indicators of money laundering, terrorist financing, or other financial crimes, in accordance with applicable international AML standards.
- Responsible gaming monitoring: To identify patterns of gaming behaviour that may indicate problem gambling and to apply account protections or restrictions in the interest of player welfare.
- Customer support: To respond to your queries, process complaints, and resolve disputes in an efficient and documented manner.
- Platform improvement: To analyse aggregate usage data and improve the performance, security, and user experience of the hivip platform.
- Marketing communications: To send you promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates where you have provided explicit consent to receive such communications. You may opt out at any time.
- Fraud prevention and security: To detect and prevent unauthorised account access, bonus abuse, and other fraudulent or abusive behaviours on the platform.
- Legal and regulatory compliance: To fulfil any legal obligation placed on hivip under applicable international gaming regulations, data protection requirements, or court orders.
Legal Basis for Processing
hivip processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the specific processing activity in question:
- Contractual necessity: Processing that is required to fulfil the contractual obligations set out in the hivip Terms and Conditions — for example, processing your deposit so you can place a bet.
- Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering requirements, age verification obligations, and responses to lawful regulatory enquiries.
- Legitimate interests: Processing that is necessary for hivip's legitimate business interests — such as fraud detection, platform security, and responsible gaming monitoring — provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
- Consent: Processing based on your freely given, specific, and informed consent — for example, sending you marketing communications about hivip promotions. Where consent is the legal basis, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The hivip platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the correct functioning of the site, to remember your preferences, to maintain session security, and to collect anonymous analytics data that helps us improve the platform experience for all players.
The types of cookies used by hivip include the following:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the platform to function. They enable core features such as secure login sessions, page navigation, and access to account-protected areas. The platform cannot operate without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
- Functional cookies: These cookies remember your preferences — such as language settings and preferred view configurations — to provide a more personalised platform experience.
- Analytics cookies: These cookies collect anonymised information about how visitors use the hivip platform, including which pages are visited most frequently, how long sessions last, and where users navigate from. This data is used in aggregate form only and cannot be used to identify individual users.
- Security cookies: These cookies help hivip detect and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorised access, and suspicious login behaviour by associating session data with verified device fingerprints.
You may adjust your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies at any time. Please be aware that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair the functionality of the hivip platform and may prevent you from accessing your account or completing transactions. hivip is not responsible for any loss of platform functionality resulting from user-initiated cookie restrictions.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
hivip does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their independent commercial purposes. However, hivip may share your personal data with the following categories of third parties where it is necessary to operate the platform, comply with legal requirements, or protect the platform and its users:
- Payment service providers: bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and other payment partners receive limited transaction data necessary to process deposits and withdrawals. These partners are bound by their own data protection obligations and are not permitted to use your data for any other purpose.
- Game content providers: Third-party game providers including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, JILI, Spribe, and Ezugi may receive session-level technical data necessary to deliver and authenticate game content to your device.
- Identity verification services: Where hivip uses third-party KYC or age verification providers, your identity documents and personal data may be shared with such providers solely for the purpose of verifying your identity.
- Regulatory authorities and law enforcement: hivip will disclose personal data to competent regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts of law where required by a valid legal obligation, court order, or government request. hivip will notify affected users of such disclosures to the extent permitted by law.
- Anti-fraud and AML monitoring services: Anonymised or pseudonymised transaction data may be shared with specialist fraud prevention and anti-money laundering monitoring services to protect the platform against financial crime.
- Professional advisers: hivip's legal, accounting, and compliance advisers may access personal data on a strictly need-to-know basis in the course of providing professional services, subject to binding confidentiality obligations.
Data Security
hivip employs a range of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include, but are not limited to, the following:
- SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption on all data transmitted between your device and the hivip servers.
- Encrypted storage of sensitive personal and financial data at rest within our infrastructure.
- Role-based access controls that limit access to personal data to only those members of our team who genuinely require it to perform their duties.
- Regular internal security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in the hivip platform infrastructure.
- Two-factor authentication options for player accounts to reduce the risk of unauthorised login.
- Automated anomaly detection systems that flag unusual account activity — such as logins from unfamiliar devices or locations — for additional security review.
While hivip takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. You play an important role in keeping your own data secure by maintaining the confidentiality of your hivip account credentials and notifying us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.
Data Retention
hivip retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the specific purpose for which it was collected, or for as long as required by applicable legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations. The following retention guidelines apply:
- Account data: Retained for the duration of your active account relationship with hivip, and for a minimum of five years following account closure to comply with anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements.
- Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of each transaction, in accordance with applicable financial compliance standards.
- Identity verification documents: Retained for the period required by applicable KYC and AML regulations, typically five years from the date of verification or account closure, whichever is later.
- Communication records: Support chat transcripts and email correspondence are retained for up to three years from the date of the interaction, or longer if the matter relates to an ongoing dispute or legal proceeding.
- Gaming activity logs: Retained for up to two years from the date of each session or bet for operational and responsible gaming monitoring purposes.
- Marketing consent records: Retained for as long as you hold an active hivip account and for one year following account closure, to demonstrate compliance with consent obligations.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted from our systems or, where deletion is not technically feasible, anonymised such that it can no longer be associated with any identifiable individual.
Your Rights Over Your Personal Data
As a hivip user, you hold the following rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at [email protected] with your account details and a clear description of your request. We will respond within 30 days of receipt of a verified request.
Children and Minors
The hivip platform is strictly intended for use by adults aged 21 years and above. hivip does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data relating to individuals under the age of 21. If hivip becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the minimum age, that data will be promptly deleted and the associated account will be closed in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has provided personal data to hivip, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take appropriate action. hivip applies age verification checks during account registration and reserves the right to request supporting documentation from any user to confirm that they meet the minimum age requirement.
Third-Party Links and Integrations
The hivip platform may reference or display content from third-party game providers — including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, JILI, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi — whose software is embedded within the hivip interface. While hivip selects its technology partners carefully and requires them to maintain appropriate data security standards, hivip is not responsible for the independent privacy practices of these third-party providers.
This Privacy Policy applies solely to personal data collected and processed by hivip directly. It does not govern the data practices of any third-party providers whose technology is integrated within the platform. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service that you interact with, including your mobile financial service providers such as bKash and Nagad, whose own privacy terms govern the handling of data on their platforms.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
hivip reserves the right to update, amend, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time in response to changes in applicable data protection regulations, platform features, or business practices. When material changes are made, we will notify registered users via email or via a prominent notice displayed on the hivip platform prior to the revised policy taking effect.
The effective date of the current version of this Privacy Policy is displayed at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how hivip protects your personal data. Your continued use of the hivip platform following the effective date of any revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
