newpak Privacy Policy
We are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains clearly what we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe.
Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how newpak ("the Platform", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal data of players ("you", "your") who use the newpak platform at newpak.org. By registering an account or using any newpak service, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy and consent to the data practices described herein. This policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions.
newpak operates as an online casino and sports betting platform serving players in Bangladesh. In providing our services — including account management, payments processing, game delivery, and customer support — we necessarily collect and process certain categories of personal data. We are committed to handling that data responsibly, retaining it only as long as necessary, and never selling it to third parties. This document sets out our full data protection practices in plain, formal English.
🔐 Our Data Protection Principles
1. Personal Data We Collect
newpak collects personal data through several channels: the account registration process, ongoing platform use, payment transactions, customer support interactions, and automatic technical collection through cookies and server logs. The categories of data we collect, and the purposes for which each category is used, are set out below.
1.1 Registration Data
When you create a newpak account, we collect the following information:
- Full legal name
- Date of birth (to verify you are 21 years of age or older)
- Registered mobile phone number
- Email address (where provided)
- Residential address (city or division level, for fraud prevention)
- Username and encrypted account password
Registration data is required to create and maintain your account, verify your identity, and comply with our age-restriction obligations. Without this data, account creation is not possible.
1.2 Identity Verification Data
When you make a withdrawal request or when a compliance check is triggered, newpak may request documentary identity verification. This may include a copy of your National Identity Card (NID), passport, or other government-issued identification document. Verification documents are processed securely, retained only for the duration required by our compliance obligations, and then permanently deleted.
1.3 Payment and Transaction Data
To process deposits and withdrawals, we collect transaction-related data including:
- Mobile banking account numbers (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) used for transactions
- Bank account details where bank transfer is used
- Transaction amounts, dates, and reference numbers
- Payment method type and status
We do not store full card numbers or CVV codes. Card payment data is handled directly by our certified payment processing partners. newpak retains only the transaction metadata necessary for account reconciliation, dispute resolution, and regulatory reporting.
1.4 Gameplay and Betting Activity Data
We record all gameplay and betting activity conducted through your newpak account. This includes game session logs, bet histories, wager amounts, game outcomes, bonus usage, and sports betting market selections. This data is used to deliver a personalised platform experience, to detect irregular or potentially fraudulent activity, to settle disputes, and to fulfil our responsible gaming obligations — including identifying patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour.
1.5 Technical and Device Data
When you access the newpak platform, our servers automatically collect certain technical data, including:
- IP address and approximate geographic location derived from IP
- Device type, operating system, and browser version
- Pages visited, session duration, and navigation paths
- Referring URL (the page from which you arrived at newpak.org)
- Cookie identifiers and session tokens
Technical data is used for platform security, fraud detection, performance monitoring, and improving the overall user experience. It does not on its own identify you personally.
1.6 Customer Support Data
When you contact the newpak support team via email at [email protected] or through any in-platform messaging channel, we retain a record of the communication. This includes your contact details, the content of your messages, timestamps, and the resolution outcome. Support records are used to resolve your enquiry, to train our support team, and to maintain a history of account issues for audit purposes.
2. How We Use Your Personal Data
newpak uses the personal data it collects for the following specific purposes. We process data only where a lawful basis exists for doing so, including contractual necessity, legal obligation, legitimate interest, and your explicit consent.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

To withdraw consent for marketing communications, contact [email protected] or update your notification preferences in your account settings.
6.5 Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where newpak relies on legitimate interest as the lawful basis. We will consider your objection and cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, or unless the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
7. Data Security
7.1 Technical Security Measures
newpak implements industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit, encrypted storage of passwords using one-way hashing algorithms, role-based access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis, and regular security audits of our systems and infrastructure.
7.2 Your Responsibility
While newpak takes every reasonable measure to protect your data, the security of your account also depends on you. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your username and password. You should use a strong, unique password for your newpak account and must not share your login credentials with any third party. If you suspect that your account has been accessed without your authorisation, contact [email protected] immediately.
7.3 Data Breach Response
In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, newpak will take immediate steps to contain the breach, assess the risk, notify affected players as soon as is reasonably practicable, and take remedial action to prevent recurrence. We maintain an internal data breach response procedure that is reviewed and tested regularly.
