• KYC and Compliance: To verify your identity, age, and source of funds in compliance with our international gaming licence obligations and applicable anti-money laundering requirements.

bu55 processes your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Contractual Necessity: The majority of data processing by bu55 is necessary to perform the contract between you and bu55 — that is, to provide you with the online gaming services you have registered to use. Without this processing, we cannot offer you an account or any services.
• Legal Obligation: Certain processing — particularly KYC identity verification, age checks, and transaction record-keeping — is required by bu55's obligations under its international gaming licence and applicable anti-money laundering frameworks. We have no discretion to waive these requirements.
• Legitimate Interests: bu55 processes certain data, including Technical Data and gaming activity analytics, on the basis of its legitimate interests in operating a secure, fair, and commercially viable platform — provided these interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
• Consent: Where bu55 processes your data for direct marketing purposes, or for non-essential cookies and tracking technologies, we do so on the basis of your prior consent. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

bu55 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on its platform for the following purposes:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the bu55 platform to function. They enable you to log in, maintain your session, and use core features. These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting platform functionality.
• Performance Cookies: These cookies collect anonymised information about how players use bu55 — such as which pages are most visited and whether any errors occur. This data helps us improve the platform over time.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences, such as language settings, display preferences, and responsible gaming configurations, so you do not have to reset them on each visit.
• Analytics Cookies: bu55 uses analytics tools to understand platform usage patterns in aggregated, anonymised form. Individual player behaviour is not identifiable from these analytics reports.

You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie settings panel available on the bu55 platform. Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to access your account or place bets.

bu55 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share your data with the following categories of third parties, strictly for the purposes described:

• Payment Processors: JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Raast, and 1LINK — to process your PKR deposits and withdrawals. These providers receive only the data necessary to execute the relevant transaction.
• KYC and Identity Verification Providers: Third-party identity verification services that assist bu55 in fulfilling its age verification and anti-money laundering obligations. All such providers are contractually bound to process your data only for the specified purpose.
• Game Providers: Third-party casino game providers whose games are hosted on the bu55 platform. These providers may receive anonymised session data necessary to deliver game content and calculate RTP. They do not receive your full identity or payment details.
• Customer Support Technology Providers: Platforms that power bu55's live chat, email ticketing, and support infrastructure. These providers process communications data on bu55's behalf under strict data processing agreements.
• Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: bu55 will disclose personal data to competent regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or our gaming licence conditions. bu55 will not disclose more information than is legally required.
• Professional Advisers: Legal counsel, auditors, and other professional advisers engaged by bu55, where disclosure is necessary for the relevant professional service and subject to confidentiality obligations.

bu55 retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law and our gaming licence obligations. The following general retention periods apply:

• Active Account Data: Retained for the full duration of your registered account relationship with bu55, plus a minimum of five years following account closure, in accordance with standard gaming licence record-keeping requirements.
• KYC and Identity Documents: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of collection or from the date of account closure, whichever is later, as required by anti-money laundering compliance obligations.
• Financial Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of each transaction, as required for regulatory and audit purposes.
• Customer Support Communications: Retained for a period of three years from the date of the relevant interaction, unless the communication relates to an ongoing dispute or legal matter, in which case it is retained for the duration of that matter.
• Marketing Consent Records: Retained for as long as you remain a registered bu55 player, or until you withdraw consent, whichever is earlier.
• Anonymised Analytics Data: Retained indefinitely in anonymised, aggregated form, as this data cannot be used to identify any individual player.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, bu55 will securely delete or anonymise your personal data in accordance with its data disposal procedures.

bu55 operates under an international gaming licence, and as a result, some of your personal data may be processed by bu55 or its third-party service providers in jurisdictions outside Pakistan. Where such international transfers occur, bu55 takes the following steps to ensure that your data remains adequately protected:

• We only transfer personal data to third parties located in jurisdictions that provide an adequate level of data protection, or we put in place appropriate contractual safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) before the transfer takes place.
• We conduct due diligence on all international processors to verify that their data security practices meet the standards required by bu55's own data protection framework.
• Where a transfer is required by law — for example, to respond to a lawful request from a foreign regulatory authority — bu55 will transfer only the minimum data necessary and will inform you of the transfer where legally permissible to do so.

As a bu55 player, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact bu55 customer support — details are in Clause 14.
