Last Updated: 1 January 2025

How Pooki Handles Your Information

Here are the six core principles that guide how Pooki collects, uses, and protects your personal information every day.

Minimal Data Collection

Pooki only collects the personal data that is genuinely needed to operate your account, process your transactions, and comply with legal requirements. We do not collect data for the sake of it.

Secure Storage

All personal data stored by Pooki is protected using industry-standard encryption. Our servers are secured against unauthorised access, and access to player data within Pooki is strictly controlled on a need-to-know basis.

No Data Selling

Pooki does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. Your information stays within Pooki and the trusted service providers we use to operate the platform.

Full Transparency

This privacy policy is written in plain language so you can understand exactly what happens with your data. If anything changes, we will update this page and notify you where required.

Your Control

You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data. Pooki makes it straightforward to exercise these rights by contacting our support team at any time.

Defined Retention

Pooki keeps your data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of Pooki Club, including visitors and registered players. By using Pooki, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described in this policy. If you have any questions, our support team is available 24/7 at [email protected].

1 Introduction

Pooki Club ("Pooki", "we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of every player who uses our platform. This Privacy Policy explains how Pooki collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data when you visit our website, register an account, make deposits, play games, or contact our support team.

We understand that handing over personal information requires trust. That trust is something Pooki takes seriously. We collect only what we need, we protect it properly, and we are transparent about how it is used. This policy is written in plain English so that every player — whether you are new to online gaming or have been playing for years — can understand exactly what happens with your data on Pooki.

This policy should be read alongside Pooki's Terms and Conditions, which are available at /terms-conditions. Together, these documents govern your relationship with Pooki.

3 How We Collect Your Data

Pooki collects your personal data through the following means:

  • Direct interactions: When you register an account, complete identity verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact support, or respond to a promotion, you provide data directly to Pooki.
  • Automated technologies: When you visit the Pooki website or use the Pooki app, we automatically collect technical data including your IP address, device information, and browsing behaviour on our platform using cookies and similar technologies.
  • Payment providers: When you make a deposit or withdrawal, Pooki receives transaction confirmation data from your payment provider such as bKash, Nagad, or Rocket. This is limited to what is necessary to process and verify your transaction.
  • Third-party verification services: When you complete identity verification (KYC), Pooki may use a third-party verification service to confirm the authenticity of your documents. These services operate under strict data protection agreements with Pooki.

4 Why We Use Your Data

Pooki uses your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To create and manage your Pooki account and verify your identity.
  • To process deposits, withdrawals, and other financial transactions securely.
  • To provide customer support and respond to your enquiries.
  • To detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activity on the platform.
  • To comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements.
  • To personalise your experience on Pooki, including showing relevant promotions and game recommendations.
  • To monitor gaming patterns and fulfil our responsible gaming obligations.
  • To send you important account notifications, security alerts, and service updates.
  • To improve the Pooki platform based on how players use it.

Pooki will only use your data for the purposes listed above. If we need to use your data for a new purpose that is not covered by this policy, we will update this page and notify you before doing so.

5 Sharing Your Data

Pooki does not sell your personal data. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Payment processors: We share necessary financial data with payment providers such as bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and banking partners to process your transactions.
  • Identity verification providers: We share identity documents with KYC service providers to verify your identity as required by law.
  • Game providers: Some games on Pooki are provided by third-party game studios. These providers may receive limited technical data necessary to deliver the game experience.
  • Legal authorities: Pooki may disclose your data to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or government agencies when required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request.
  • Fraud prevention services: We may share data with fraud detection and prevention services to protect Pooki and its players from financial crime.

All third parties with whom Pooki shares data are required to handle that data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Pooki does not permit third parties to use your data for their own marketing purposes.

6 Cookies

Pooki uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience on our platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help Pooki remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how players use the platform.

The types of cookies Pooki uses include:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These cannot be disabled as they are necessary for account login, session management, and security.
  • Analytics cookies: Help Pooki understand how players navigate the platform so we can improve the user experience. Data collected is aggregated and anonymised.
  • Preference cookies: Remember your settings and preferences, such as language and display options, so you do not have to set them every time you visit.

You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Pooki platform.

7 Data Security

Pooki takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include:

  • SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and Pooki's servers.
  • Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including passwords and financial information.
  • Strict access controls ensuring that only authorised Pooki staff can access player data, and only to the extent necessary for their role.
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments of our platform and infrastructure.
  • Two-factor authentication options for player accounts to add an extra layer of protection.

While Pooki takes every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You also play a role in keeping your account safe — use a strong, unique password for your Pooki account and never share your login credentials with anyone.

If Pooki becomes aware of a data breach that affects your personal data, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by applicable law.

8 Data Retention

Pooki retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by law. Specifically:

  • Account and identity data is retained for a minimum of five years after account closure to comply with anti-money laundering regulations.
  • Transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years for financial compliance purposes.
  • Support communications are retained for two years after the last interaction.
  • Technical and analytics data is retained in anonymised form for platform improvement purposes.

When your data is no longer required for the purpose it was collected and no legal retention obligation applies, Pooki will securely delete or anonymise it. You may request early deletion of your data subject to legal retention requirements by contacting our support team.
