5 Legal Basis for Processing
Every instance of personal data processing at b9998 rests on one or more of the following legal bases:
- Contract performance: Processing that is necessary to provide you with the b9998 service, including account creation, bet settlement, and payment processing, is carried out on the basis that it is required to fulfil our contractual obligations to you.
- Legal obligation: Certain processing activities — particularly those related to KYC, AML checks, and age verification — are carried out because we are legally required to do so.
- Legitimate interests: We process some data on the basis of our legitimate interests as a platform operator, including fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and general analytics, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

- Legal and regulatory authorities: Where we are required by law, court order, or regulatory directive to disclose personal data, we will comply with that obligation. We will notify you of such disclosure where we are legally permitted to do so.
- Professional advisers: Lawyers, auditors, and insurers who require access to certain data in the course of providing services to b9998, subject to strict confidentiality obligations.
No Cross-Border Transfers Without Safeguards: Where any of the above recipients are located outside Bangladesh, b9998 will ensure that appropriate contractual and technical safeguards are in place before transferring your personal data, consistent with applicable data protection standards.
