News24bd Privacy Policy — Your Data, Our Responsibility
News24bd places the highest priority on the privacy of users in Bangladesh. This policy clearly outlines how your information is collected, used, and kept secure.
What Information We Collect
Account Information
When you register with news24bd, we collect your name, date of birth, mobile number, and email address. This information is essential for verifying your identity and managing your account. It is also used to keep your account secure and ensure safe login access. No transaction can be completed without confirming the user's identity. We always collect only the minimum information necessary.
Device & browser information
When you use the news24bd website or app, your device type, operating system, and browser name and version are automatically recorded. Your IP address, screen resolution, and language settings are also collected. This information is used to improve the platform's technical performance and maintain cybersecurity. Device data plays a key role in detecting unusual login activity. It is also analyzed to make the experience smoother for mobile users in Bangladesh.
Payment & Financial Information (BDT)
News24bd processes transactions in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) and supports local payment methods including bKash, Nagad, and Rocket. Mobile banking numbers and transaction IDs are collected at the time of each transaction. Financial data is stored under strict encryption and is never shared with third parties without necessity. This information is used only on a limited basis for fraud prevention and transaction verification. Full bank account or card numbers are never stored on our servers.
Usage Data
Behavioral data — such as which pages you visit, how long you stay, and which games or events you participate in — is automatically logged. We analyze click patterns, search queries, and navigation paths to make the platform more user-friendly. This data also helps us surface content that is relevant to your preferences. All usage logs are analyzed anonymously and are never used to identify any individual. This data is reviewed regularly to improve platform performance and security.
Cookies & Tracking
The news24bd website uses cookies to manage your session, remember your preferences, and keep your account secure. No third-party tracking cookies are used beyond what is essential. You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit certain features, but core functionality will remain intact. We also use local storage tokens that stay only on your device and are never sent to our servers.
Location data
Approximate location data (at the city and division level) may be collected to ensure localized service for users in Bangladesh. GPS or precise location access is never used without your explicit permission. Your country is determined via IP address, primarily to verify service availability. Location data is not shared with any advertisers and is not used for marketing purposes. You can revoke location access at any time through the app settings.
Understand How Your Data Is Used
Your data is used only for its stated purpose — nothing more.
Service Operation & Improvement
News24bd primarily uses your data to keep your account active, process transactions, and deliver uninterrupted gaming services. Usage data is analyzed to customize content to your preferences and resolve platform bugs. Aggregate data is reviewed to better understand local sports and entertainment trends in Bangladesh. Monitoring user behavior plays a key role in building new features and refining existing ones. Every improvement is aimed at making your experience smoother and more enjoyable.
Security & fraud prevention
Your device and login activity are continuously monitored to protect your account from unauthorized access. You will be alerted immediately if any suspicious transactions or unusual activity are detected. Financial information is verified in accordance with applicable regulations to prevent money laundering and fraud. news24bd employs advanced firewalls and intrusion detection systems. Our security team monitors the platform around the clock to keep your data safe at all times.
Contact & support
Important account-related messages are sent to your registered mobile number or email address. Transaction confirmations, password change requests, and security alerts are delivered via email or SMS. With your consent, relevant offers and sports updates may also be sent to you. If you no longer wish to receive marketing messages, you can unsubscribe at any time from your account settings. Our customer support team accesses your information solely for the purpose of resolving issues.
Fulfilling legal obligations
We are legally required to retain certain information for specified periods to comply with applicable laws and regulatory requirements in Bangladesh. Financial transaction records may need to be provided to relevant authorities upon request. Information may also be disclosed in response to a court order or a lawful request from a government agency. In such cases, we make every effort to notify the affected user to the extent permitted. Once the legal obligation has been fulfilled, the relevant data is securely deleted.
Data Retention & Security Measures
We use industry-leading technology to keep your data secure.
Encryption & secure transmission
News24bd uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption for all data transmissions, protecting your information from interception over the internet. Sensitive data stored in the database is secured with AES-256 encryption. Passwords are never stored in plain text — only strong cryptographic hashes are kept. Regular security audits are conducted and any vulnerabilities found are addressed immediately. Our servers operate in compliance with both Bangladeshi and international data protection standards.
Data retention period
Your data is retained for as long as your account remains active. Once you request account closure, your personal data is deleted within 30 days, provided there is no legal obligation to retain it. Financial transaction records are kept for the period required under Bangladeshi financial law. Backup data is held under secure encryption for a maximum of 90 days, after which it is automatically deleted. Anonymized statistical data may be retained long-term as it cannot be used to identify any individual.

Sharing Information with Third Parties

Payment Processors
Only the information necessary to complete a transaction is shared with Bangladeshi payment providers such as bKash, Nagad, and Rocket. This data is kept to a strict minimum and is tied solely to the specific transaction in question. Payment processors operate under their own privacy policies and applicable regulatory frameworks. We verify the security standards of payment partners before onboarding them. Our agreements with these partners confirm that no excess data is retained once the transaction purpose has been fulfilled.
Legal Authorities
Information may be disclosed based on a lawful order from a competent court or regulatory authority in Bangladesh. Before complying with any such request, we conduct a legal review to verify its validity. We make every effort to notify the affected user in advance wherever possible. In cases where the law or a court order prohibits such notification, we may not be able to do so. In all cases, we disclose only the minimum information strictly required.
Technology Service Providers
Trusted third-party technology providers are used for server hosting, email delivery, and technical support. All such partners are bound by strict data processing agreements and are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes. Our technology partners are required to adhere to the highest security standards. They may only access data within the scope of work defined in their agreements. These partnerships are subject to regular contract reviews and security audits.
What We Never Do
News24bd does not sell your personal information to any ad network or data broker. Your personal data is never shared directly with third-party marketers. Your information is not transferred to social media platforms. No profiling or targeted advertising is carried out without your consent.

Protection of minors' data
News24bd is a platform exclusively for adults, and registration by anyone under the age of 18 is not permitted. Date of birth and identity verification are used during registration to confirm eligibility. If we become aware that a minor's data has been collected inadvertently, it will be permanently deleted and the associated account will be closed immediately. Parents or guardians who believe their child has registered are urged to contact our support team right away. Child protection is our highest priority, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any breach of this rule.
Minor Detection Process
The date of birth provided at registration is automatically verified, and if the user is under 18, the registration process is immediately blocked. A second layer of age verification is also carried out through NID or passport checks. Account activity is monitored to identify users suspected of being underage. These safeguards are regularly updated to prevent any attempt to bypass the system. We are fully compliant with Bangladesh's laws on children's rights.

News24bd reserves the right to update this privacy policy as needed. You will be notified of any significant changes via your registered email or mobile number. The effective date of any new policy will always be clearly stated at the top of this page. Continued use of the platform after a policy change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. For material changes, however, explicit consent will be sought. Archived versions of previous policies are available upon request to ensure full transparency.
