9 Data Security

fa444 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security infrastructure includes:

• TLS Encryption in Transit: All data exchanged between your browser or device and fa444's servers is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3), ensuring that data cannot be intercepted during transmission.
• Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data, including identity documents and financial records, is stored in encrypted form using AES-256 encryption at the database level.
• Password Security: User passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms (bcrypt with a unique per-user salt). fa444 never stores passwords in plain text and never transmits them after initial creation.
• Access Controls: Internal access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. fa444 staff who access player data are subject to confidentiality obligations and undergo regular security training.
• Intrusion Detection: fa444 operates real-time monitoring systems that detect and alert on suspicious access patterns, brute-force login attempts, and anomalous account behaviour.
• Regular Security Audits: fa444's systems and infrastructure undergo periodic independent security assessments and penetration testing.

10 Data Retention

fa444 retains personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law and regulatory obligations. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:

When the applicable retention period has passed, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked back to you as an individual.

11 Your Data Rights

As a data subject, you hold the following rights with respect to your personal data held by fa444. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection team at [email protected] with your full name, registered email address, and a clear description of your request.

• Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data fa444 holds about you and to receive confirmation that your data is being processed. We will respond to such requests within 30 days.
• Right to Rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it without undue delay.
• Right to Erasure: You may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you have withdrawn consent and no other legal basis for processing exists. Note that certain data must be retained for legal compliance reasons even following an erasure request.
• Right to Restrict Processing: In certain circumstances, you may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data — for example, while an accuracy dispute is being resolved.
• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests on grounds relating to your particular situation.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

fa444 will respond to all valid data rights requests within 30 calendar days. In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further 30 days, in which case you will be notified of the extension and the reason for it.

12 Children's Privacy

fa444 is strictly an adults-only platform. No person under the age of 21 is permitted to register an account or use any fa444 service. fa444 does not knowingly collect, process, or store personal data relating to individuals under the age of 21.

If fa444 discovers or receives credible information that a registered account is held by a person under 21, the account will be immediately suspended, all funds in the account will be frozen pending investigation, and any personal data collected will be handled in accordance with applicable child protection obligations.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has registered on fa444 without your knowledge, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take prompt action.

13 Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

The fa444 platform may contain links to third-party websites or services — for example, links to payment provider information pages or game provider help sections. fa444 is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party website and this Privacy Policy does not apply to those external sites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit. fa444 has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party site or service.

14 Marketing Communications

fa444 may send you promotional emails, SMS messages, or in-platform notifications about bonuses, new games, tournaments, and seasonal promotions — but only where you have explicitly opted in to receive such communications during registration or via your account settings.

You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by:

• Clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any marketing email sent by fa444
• Updating your communication preferences in your fa444 account settings
• Contacting fa444 support at [email protected] and requesting to be removed from all marketing lists

Opting out of marketing communications will not affect transactional communications that are necessary for the operation of your account, such as withdrawal confirmations, security alerts, and KYC request notifications.

15 International Data Transfers

fa444 operates primarily in the Bangladesh market and seeks to process data within secure infrastructure located in appropriate jurisdictions. However, some of fa444's third-party service providers — including cloud infrastructure providers and game content suppliers — may process data in countries outside Bangladesh.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, fa444 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

• Contractual clauses in data processing agreements that bind recipients to data protection standards equivalent to those applied by fa444
• Use of service providers that maintain recognised international security certifications (e.g., ISO 27001)
• Transfers only to providers who have demonstrated compliance with applicable data protection standards

If you would like further information about the safeguards in place for specific international transfers, please contact us at [email protected].
