Privacy Policy – Baji Baji Data Protection & User Privacy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Baji Baji ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, stores, and protects information about users ("you") who access our platform at bajibaji.vin and any associated mobile applications or services.

We understand that privacy matters — especially when it comes to an online gaming platform where personal and financial information is involved. This policy is written in plain, clear language so every player in Pakistan knows exactly how their data is handled, without having to wade through confusing legal jargon.

By registering an account or using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. This policy works alongside our Terms and Conditions, which govern the general use of the Baji Baji platform.

2. What Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

Information you provide directly:

• Full name, date of birth, and gender (collected at registration)
• Email address and mobile phone number
• Residential address and city (used for identity verification)
• CNIC or other government-issued ID details (for verification purposes)
• Payment method information — such as your JazzCash or Easypaisa account number or bank account details used for deposits and withdrawals in PKR
• Communications you send us via live chat or email support

Information collected automatically:

• Device information including device type, operating system, and browser
• IP address and approximate geographical location
• Session data — pages visited, time spent, games played, clicks and interactions
• Login timestamps and platform activity logs
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see the Cookies section below)

3. How We Use Your Information

Baji Baji uses the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Account Management: To create and maintain your player account, verify your identity, and keep your login secure.
• Transaction Processing: To handle your deposits and withdrawals via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfers, and other supported payment methods in PKR.
• Customer Support: To respond to your queries, complaints, or requests submitted through live chat or email.
• Platform Improvement: To analyse usage patterns and improve the performance, layout, and features of our platform and app.
• Fraud Prevention & Security: To detect and prevent fraudulent transactions, unauthorised access, and abuse of bonuses or promotions.
• Responsible Gaming: To monitor gameplay patterns and reach out to players who may be showing signs of problematic gaming behaviour.
• Marketing Communications: To send you promotional offers, bonuses, and platform updates — but only if you have opted in to receive such communications.
• Legal Compliance: To fulfil any obligations required under applicable laws and to respond to lawful requests from authorities.

We do not use your data for any purpose beyond what is listed above without first notifying you and, where required, obtaining your consent.

4. Sharing & Disclosure of Your Data

Baji Baji does not sell or rent your personal information to any third party for their own marketing or commercial use. However, we may share your data in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment Processors: Your financial details are shared only with the payment gateways (such as JazzCash, Easypaisa, or Raast) that are necessary to complete your transactions. These providers have their own privacy policies and security standards.
• Technology & Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party vendors for hosting, analytics, and customer support tools. These vendors are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify.
• Fraud Prevention Services: To protect the integrity of our platform, we may share data with fraud detection and identity verification services.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law or in response to a valid legal process, we may disclose your information to the appropriate authorities. We will only do so to the extent required and will inform you where legally permitted.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred to the new entity, subject to the same privacy protections outlined in this policy.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Baji Baji uses cookies and similar tracking tools to make the platform work smoothly and to understand how players interact with our site and app. Here is a breakdown of the types of cookies we use:

• Essential Cookies: These are required for core functions like keeping you logged in and maintaining your session. Without these, the platform cannot operate properly.
• Performance Cookies: These help us understand which pages are visited most, how long players spend on certain games, and where errors occur — so we can fix them.
• Preference Cookies: These remember your settings, such as language preferences or your preferred game category, so you do not have to set them every time you visit.
• Analytics Cookies: We use privacy-respecting analytics tools to measure overall platform usage. This data is aggregated and cannot identify you individually.

You can control or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the Baji Baji platform or app. We do not use cookies to serve third-party advertisements.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy. In practice, this means:

• Active account data is retained for the full duration of your account's existence on the platform.
• Transaction records and financial data are retained for a minimum of five (5) years for audit and compliance purposes.
• If you request account closure, your personal data will be deleted or anonymised within 90 days, except where we are legally required to retain certain records.
• Log files and session data are typically retained for 12 months before being purged.
• Communications you have had with our support team may be retained for up to 2 years to ensure continuity of service.

Once the retention period has passed and there is no legal basis for continued storage, your data is securely deleted from our systems.

7. Security Measures

We take the security of your personal and financial information very seriously. Baji Baji employs a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your data from loss, theft, misuse, or unauthorised access:

• All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected using SSL/TLS encryption.
• Sensitive data at rest — including account credentials and payment records — is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
• Our systems are monitored continuously for suspicious activity, unusual login attempts, and potential security threats.
• Access to personal data within our organisation is strictly limited to authorised personnel who need it to perform their job functions.
• We conduct regular internal security reviews and vulnerability assessments to keep our systems up to date.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) is available and recommended for all Baji Baji accounts.

While we do everything in our power to protect your information, no online system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your Baji Baji account and never share your login credentials with anyone.

8. Your Data Rights

As a Baji Baji user, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time.
• Right to Correction: If any of your information is inaccurate or out of date, you can request that we correct it.
• Right to Deletion: You may request that we delete your personal data, subject to any legal retention requirements that apply.
• Right to Restrict Processing: In certain circumstances, you can ask us to limit how we use your data.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where you have given consent for specific data processing (such as marketing emails), you can withdraw that consent at any time.
• Right to Data Portability: You may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format for transfer to another service.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team via live chat or at the email address listed in the Contact section below. We will respond to all valid requests within 30 days.

9. Minors & Age Policy

Baji Baji is strictly an adult platform. Our services are intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18.

If we discover that a user under 18 has created an account, we will immediately suspend that account, delete all associated personal data, and reverse any transactions where possible. Age verification may be requested at any point during the account lifecycle.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has registered on Baji Baji, please contact us immediately so we can take swift action.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our services evolve or when required by changes in applicable laws. When we make material changes, we will notify registered users through a platform announcement, an in-app notification, or via the email address associated with your account.

The updated policy will always be available on this page with the "Last Updated" date clearly shown at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so you are always aware of how your data is being handled.

Continued use of Baji Baji after the revised policy has been published constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you object to any updates, you should stop using the platform and contact us to close your account.
