Introduction — Why We Created This Policy
Welcome to 9cricket. We believe protecting each user's data is our responsibility — not merely a legal obligation. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") clearly explains what information 9cricket collects, why we collect it, and how we keep it secure.
9cricket is an internationally licensed online betting and gaming platform built specifically for users in Bangladesh. This policy applies to the platform's website, mobile app, and all associated services.
In plain terms: We only collect your data when it's genuinely needed. We never sell it. We always keep it safe.
By creating an account or using 9cricket, you are deemed to have accepted this policy. If you do not wish to be bound by it, please refrain from using 9cricket and contact us.

How Long We Retain Your Data
9cricket does not retain your data longer than necessary. Each type of data has a defined retention period.

Once the retention period expires, data is automatically deleted or anonymized in a way that makes identification no longer possible.
Protection of Children and Minors

If anyone under 18 creates an account using false information and we become aware of it, the account will be immediately closed and all collected data will be deleted.
If you believe your child has created an account on 9cricket, please contact us immediately at support@9cricket.ws. We will take prompt action.

For any such transfers, 9cricket ensures that:
- The recipient country has adequate data protection laws in place, or
- A data protection agreement meeting required standards is in place with the recipient organization
- All transfers occur through encrypted channels
- Only necessary data is transferred
