Privacy Policy for BDGameScout

Last Updated: April 2026

BDGameScout (bdgamescout.com) covers new game launches and rising betting platforms for readers in Bangladesh. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018, which inform our global privacy standards.

Data We Collect and Why

We do not require account registration. When you browse our site, we automatically collect anonymised technical data — IP address, browser type, and pages visited — solely to maintain site performance and understand how BD visitors discover new platform reviews.

Cookies and Third-Party Tracking

We use essential cookies for core functionality and analytics cookies via Google Analytics to measure traffic patterns. Affiliate tracking cookies may be set when you click links to BD operators, allowing us to record referrals without identifying you personally:

  • Essential cookies: session management, security
  • Analytics cookies: Google Analytics (anonymised IP)
  • Affiliate cookies: referral tracking for ৳-denominated operator links
  • Preference cookies: language or region settings (if applicable)

You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Data Retention and Security

Anonymised analytics data is retained for up to 26 months, in line with Google Analytics defaults. We do not store payment details, and no personally identifiable information is held on our servers beyond standard server logs, which are purged within 90 days.

Your Rights and Contact

Under GDPR and DPA 2018, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold. Third-party platforms linked from our reviews operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their data practices. To exercise your rights or ask privacy questions, reach us via our contact page.

Cookie categories we use

BDGameScout uses four categories of cookies, each of which you can inspect and control through your browser settings. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site running — they remember that you accepted the age gate, store your language preference, and preserve session state. Performance cookies (Google Analytics and an internal counter) aggregate anonymous metrics about which pages are most read and where visitors come from. Functional cookies remember small preferences such as your preferred currency display or whether you opted into dark mode. Targeting/advertising cookies are not used on this site; we do not run remarketing or behavioural advertising pixels. If you clear your browser cookies, the only user-facing change is that your preferences reset — no user history is lost because we do not maintain user accounts.

Data retention timelines

Analytics data is retained for 26 months before automatic deletion. Contact-form submissions are retained for 12 months for audit and support follow-up and are then purged. IP address logs on the hosting layer are rotated every 90 days; beyond that window no identifying network data is stored. Email subscription records are retained until you unsubscribe, at which point your address is removed from the mailing system within 30 days. We do not store payment information because we do not process payments — every betting operator reviewed on this site handles its own payments directly with you.

International data transfers

This site is hosted on infrastructure located within Asia. Where analytics providers process data outside Bangladesh, they do so under their own contractual data-protection obligations. We have reviewed the relevant sub-processors and require each to operate equivalent protections to the Bangladesh Personal Data Protection standards. If you would like the list of sub-processors we use, request it through the contact page and we will respond within five business days.

Exercising your data rights under Bangladesh law

Bangladeshi residents may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about them. Submit requests via the contact form on this site; we will respond within 30 days. Where a request cannot be fulfilled (for example because legal retention obligations require us to keep a record), we will explain why in writing. Complaints about our handling of your data can be escalated to the relevant data-protection authority in Bangladesh or to an equivalent regulator in your jurisdiction of residence.
