1 Information We Collect

Bighoki collects your personal information through several channels: during the account registration process, while you use our services, through written communications with our support team, and automatically via tracking technologies used on our platform.

There are two main categories of data we collect:

Information you provide directly:

Data Minimisation Principle: bighoki only collects data that is strictly necessary to provide our services, fulfil legal obligations and protect platform security. We do not collect sensitive personal data such as health information, political affiliations or religious beliefs.
2 How We Use Your Data

Every piece of data we collect is used for a clear and legitimate purpose. bighoki does not use your data for purposes not stated in this privacy policy without first obtaining your consent.

The following are the primary purposes for which your data is used:

  • Account management: Creating and maintaining your account, processing login requests, and protecting your account from unauthorised access
  • Transaction processing: Processing deposits and withdrawals accurately and securely through trusted payment partners
  • Regulatory compliance: Meeting AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) legal requirements mandated by regulatory bodies
  • Fraud prevention: Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, manipulation, or platform abuse using our advanced analytics systems
  • Customer support: Providing technical assistance and resolving any issues or complaints you submit
  • Personalisation: Personalising your platform experience based on your game preferences and usage habits

  • Responsible gaming: Monitoring usage patterns to identify signs of problem gambling and provide appropriate support

For marketing and promotional purposes, bighoki will only send you communications if you have given explicit consent during registration or through your account settings. You may withdraw this consent at any time.

3 Information Sharing

Bighoki takes your privacy very seriously. We do not sell or rent your personal data to any third party. However, there are certain situations where we need to share your information with selected parties:

  • Payment service providers: Payment partners such as FPX providers, e-wallet operators, and crypto transaction processors receive only the data necessary to complete your transaction
  • Cloud service providers: Our hosting infrastructure and data storage are managed by certified cloud providers bound by strict confidentiality agreements
  • Identity verification partners: Third-party KYC service providers that assist us in verifying user identities for legal compliance purposes
  • Legal authorities: bighoki will disclose required information to the authorities if mandated by a court order, warrant or applicable legal provision
  • Business transfers: In the event of a company merger or acquisition, user data may be transferred as part of the business assets with prior notice given to users
Third-Party Agreements: All third parties receiving bighoki user data are bound by strict Data Processing Agreements, ensuring they use the information only for agreed purposes and apply security standards equal to or exceeding our own.
4 Data Security

Bighoki continuously invests in the latest cybersecurity infrastructure to ensure your personal data remains protected at all times. Our approach to data security is comprehensive and multi-layered.

  • 256-bit SSL encryption for all data communications between your device and our servers
  • Encryption at rest for all sensitive information stored in our databases
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) is available for all user accounts as an added layer of security
  • 24/7 system monitoring by our cybersecurity team
  • Regular penetration testing by certified independent security firms
  • Role-based access control (RBAC) that limits employee access to user data based on job necessity only
  • Security incident response procedures that are regularly tested and updated

However, no security system can guarantee 100% absolute protection. You also play an important role in securing your account by using a strong password, enabling 2FA, and never sharing your login credentials with anyone.

In the event of any security breach affecting your personal data, bighoki will notify you within 72 hours of the breach being detected, in line with international data breach notification standards.
