wwok Privacy Policy
— Your Data, Your Rights, Our Commitment
This Privacy Policy explains how wwok collects, processes, stores, and protects your personal data when you use our online betting and casino platform. We are committed to handling your information with transparency and care, in accordance with internationally recognised data protection principles. Please read this document in full before registering or using the wwok Platform.
How wwok Approaches Your Privacy
These six principles underpin every data decision we make. They are not legal boilerplate — they are the practical commitments that guide how our team handles your information every single day.
Transparency First
We tell you exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how long we keep it. No hidden clauses, no vague descriptions. This Policy is written in plain English so you can make informed decisions.
Purpose Limitation
Your data is collected for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes only. We do not repurpose your information for activities beyond what is described in this Policy without obtaining your prior consent.
Data Minimisation
We collect only the data that is strictly necessary for the delivery of our services. We do not harvest supplementary personal information beyond what is required for account management, payments, and compliance.
Accuracy & Currency
We take reasonable steps to ensure personal data held on file is accurate and up to date. You can update your account information at any time, and we encourage you to do so when your details change.
Security by Default
wwok employs 256-bit TLS encryption, firewalled server infrastructure, and role-based access controls to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Your Rights Are Real
We honour your data subject rights — including access, correction, deletion, and portability — as practical commitments, not just legal formalities. Submit a request to [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days.

1. Overview & Scope
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how wwok ("wwok", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal data relating to individuals ("you", "your", "User", "Player") who visit, register with, or otherwise use the website located at wwok.io and all associated subdomains, mobile web experiences, and digital services (collectively, the "Platform").
This Policy applies to all personal data processed by wwok in connection with:
- The creation and management of Player accounts;
- The processing of deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and other supported payment channels;
- The delivery of sports betting, live casino, slots, fishing games, and related entertainment services;
- Customer support interactions conducted via email or live chat;
- Compliance activities including Know Your Customer ("KYC") verification and anti-money laundering ("AML") screening;
- Marketing communications where consent has been provided;
- Technical operations including website analytics and fraud prevention.
This Policy does not apply to third-party websites, payment processors, or game providers that may be accessible from or integrated with the Platform. Those parties operate under their own privacy policies, which wwok encourages you to review independently.
2. Data Controller
For the purposes of applicable data protection law, wwok acts as the data controller in respect of personal data collected from Players and website visitors through the Platform. As data controller, wwok determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data.
Where wwok engages third-party service providers to process data on its behalf (for example, payment processors or game studios), those parties act as data processors and are bound by contractual obligations to process your data only on wwok's documented instructions and to maintain appropriate security standards.
For all data-related enquiries, please contact our designated Data Protection contact at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Protection Enquiry".

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
8.1 What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit the wwok Platform. They allow the Platform to recognise your device across sessions, remember your preferences, maintain your login state, and collect analytical data about how the Platform is used.
8.2 Categories of Cookies Used
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the Platform to function. These cookies enable you to log in, navigate between pages, and maintain your session. They cannot be disabled without breaking core Platform functionality.
- Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences such as preferred language, notification settings, and responsible gaming tool configurations.

- Security Cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, including bot traffic and unusual login patterns.
8.3 Managing Cookies
You can control cookie behaviour through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, disabling strictly necessary or security cookies may impair the functionality of your wwok account, including your ability to log in or complete transactions. Analytical and functional cookies can be declined without affecting core service delivery.
9. Data Retention
wwok retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, subject to any longer retention periods required by law. The following retention guidelines apply:

| Support communications | 3 years from last contact | Dispute resolution / quality assurance |
| Technical / device data | 13 months from collection | Platform analytics cycle |
| Marketing consent records | Until withdrawn + 1 year | Consent audit trail |
At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be attributed to an identifiable individual.
10. Security Measures
wwok employs a layered security architecture designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. Our technical and organisational security measures include:
- 256-bit TLS encryption applied to all data transmitted between your device and the wwok servers;
- AES-256 encryption at rest for sensitive data stored in our database infrastructure;
- Firewalled and segmented server infrastructure hosted in a certified data centre with physical access controls;
- Role-based access controls ensuring that wwok staff can only access personal data relevant to their specific job function;
- Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments conducted by independent third-party security specialists;
- Hashed and salted password storage — plaintext passwords are never stored anywhere in our systems;
- Intrusion detection and monitoring systems operating around the clock;
- Staff training on data protection responsibilities conducted at onboarding and on an annual basis.
11. Your Data Subject Rights
Subject to applicable law and certain conditions, you have the following rights in relation to personal data that wwok holds about you:
To exercise any of the above rights, please submit a written request to [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request — [Right Type]". We will acknowledge your request within 5 business days and provide a full response within 30 calendar days. In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further 30 days, and we will notify you if an extension is required.
Please note that certain rights are subject to limitations. For example, the right to erasure does not apply where wwok is required by law to retain your data (such as AML transaction records). Where we are unable to fulfil a request in full, we will explain the reason in our response.
12. International Data Transfers
wwok operates an internationally hosted Platform and may transfer personal data to servers or service providers located outside of Bangladesh. Where such transfers occur, wwok takes appropriate steps to ensure that your personal data is afforded an equivalent level of protection to that described in this Policy, including:
- Entering into data processing agreements that incorporate standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards with all third-party processors located outside Bangladesh;
- Assessing the data protection laws and practices of the destination country before transferring data;
- Restricting transfers to processors who can demonstrate compliance with internationally recognised security standards such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2.
13. Minors and Age Restriction
The wwok Platform is strictly restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above. wwok does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Age verification is conducted as part of the mandatory KYC process before any real-money gameplay or withdrawal activity is permitted on an account.
If wwok becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21, the account will be immediately suspended, all funds will be reviewed in accordance with our Terms & Conditions, and the personal data will be securely deleted without undue delay.
If you believe that a minor has registered an account on the Platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] with the subject line "Minor Account Report".
14. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content
The wwok Platform may contain links to third-party websites or embed content delivered by third-party game providers such as Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Spribe, Ezugi, and others. These third parties operate independently of wwok and are governed by their own privacy policies.
wwok is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party website or service accessible from or integrated with the Platform. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party services you access through or in connection with the wwok Platform.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
wwok reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, our data processing practices, or the services we offer. When material changes are made, we will:
- Update the "Last Updated" date displayed at the top of this Policy;
- Send a notification to the email address registered to your account;
- Display a prominent notice on the Platform for a reasonable period following the change.
Your continued use of the Platform following the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with the revised Policy, you should close your account and cease using the Platform before the effective date of the changes.
We recommend that you review this page periodically to stay informed of how wwok handles your personal data.
