1998wc Privacy Policy —
Your Data, Our Responsibility

1 Introduction & Scope

1998wc is an internationally standard online betting platform serving users in Bangladesh and beyond. This Privacy Policy applies to the 1998wc website and all associated services. By using any 1998wc service, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

We believe every user's personal data belongs to them. 1998wc uses that data solely to improve platform services and meet legal obligations — we never sell it to third parties or use it for marketing without your consent.

2 What Information We Collect

1998wc collects various types of information to deliver its services. This data falls into two categories — what you voluntarily provide and what is automatically collected during your use of the platform.

Information You Provide Directly

• Full name and date of birth (for age verification)
• Email address and mobile number
• National ID or passport number (for KYC verification)
• Residential address
• Payment method details (Mobile Pay, Nagad, Rocket number)
• Selfie or scanned copy of ID document (as part of the KYC process)

Automatically Collected Information
