mcw 18 uses collected information only for specific, lawful, and transparent purposes. Those purposes are detailed below:

This information is used to create accounts, verify identity, process deposits and withdrawals, and ensure the security of members' accounts. Collected information is also required for issuing bonuses and managing VIP membership.

With your consent, mcw 18 may send information about various offers, bonuses, or new services via email or SMS. You may opt out of these communications at any time.

3 Data Storage and Security

To ensure the security of your information, mcw 18 employs industry-standard technical and administrative measures.

All data transfers are encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. Sensitive information such as passwords and financial details is stored using AES-256 encryption.

3.2 Access Controls

Only authorised staff may view members' information, and only when required for specific work purposes. All access is logged and reviewed regularly.

Information may be retained for as long as your account is active and, after account closure, for the period necessary to meet legal obligations. Once the required period has passed, information is deleted securely.

4 Sharing Information with Third Parties

mcw 18 never sells your personal information or rents it out for advertising purposes. However, information may be shared with selected parties in the limited circumstances below:

4.1 Service Provider Partners

The minimum necessary information is shared with trusted partners involved in payment processing (such as managing bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank transfers), identity verification, and technology infrastructure management. These partners are contractually bound to uphold our privacy standards.

4.2 Legal Obligations

Relevant information may be provided to authorities in order to comply with court orders, lawful government requests, or applicable law in the course of investigations.

4.3 Business Changes

In the event of a future merger, acquisition, or change in business structure, user information may be transferred to the relevant parties. In such cases, the terms of this Privacy Policy will remain in force.

8 International Data Transfers

Although mcw 18 primarily serves users based in Bangladesh, information may be stored on servers in various countries due to technology infrastructure requirements. Regardless of where information is transferred, the standard of protection described in this Privacy Policy is maintained.

Appropriate contractual protections are ensured for data transfers, and the receiving party is obliged to provide the same level of protection.
