1Introduction

Welcome to 8min.ws. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains what personal information we collect when you use the 8min platform, how that information is used, and the steps we take to keep your data secure.

This Privacy Policy applies to the 8min website (https://8min.ws), the mobile app, and all related services. By registering with or using 8min, you agree to the data collection and usage practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We believe digital privacy is a fundamental right of every user. That is why 8min collects only the data that is necessary and stores it with the highest level of security. Your personal information is never sold or used for purposes beyond what is needed.

In Brief: Your privacy is our top priority at 8min. This policy tells you exactly what we do and don't do — no fine print, no hidden agendas.

2What Information We Collect

8min only collects data that is strictly necessary to provide our services. Requesting excessive or irrelevant information goes against our policy.

Automatically Collected Information

When you use 8min, our system automatically collects certain technical information — including your device type, operating system, browser version, the pages you visit, and how long you spend on them. This data is used to improve platform performance and maintain security.

Please Note: 8min will never ask for your social media password, bank PIN, or card number. If anyone requests this information on our behalf, report it to our support team immediately.

3How Your Information Is Used

8min uses the information it collects only for specific, transparent purposes. No data is ever used for undisclosed reasons.

  • Account Management: To enable registration, login, and account security.
  • Service Delivery: To keep gaming, betting, and financial transaction services running smoothly.
  • Identity Verification: To complete the KYC process and prevent fraud.
  • Financial Transactions: For processing deposits, withdrawals, and bonuses.
  • Customer Support: To handle your complaints and queries.
  • Responsible Gaming: To identify signs of excessive gaming and provide appropriate support.
  • Legal Obligations: To generate reports required by regulatory authorities.
  • Platform Improvement: To analyze user experience and improve the quality of our services.
What We Don't Do: Using your data for targeted advertising, sharing it with third-party marketing companies, or building a profile without your consent.

4Data Storage & Security

8min uses industry-standard technology to protect your data. Our servers are monitored around the clock, and multiple layers of security are in place to prevent unauthorized access.

Security Measures

  • 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption in transit.
  • AES-256 encryption for all stored data.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) available.
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing.
  • AI-powered monitoring system that detects suspicious activity.
  • Data backup and disaster recovery planning.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Data for active accounts is retained for as long as the account remains open. After an account is closed, certain data — particularly financial transactions and KYC documents — may be retained for up to 5 years to meet legal obligations. All data is securely deleted thereafter.

Data Breach: In the event of a security breach, we will notify affected users and the relevant authorities within 72 hours.

5Data Sharing Policy

8min never sells your data. However, limited information may be shared with third parties in specific circumstances:

  • Payment Provider: Payment partners such as bKash, Nagad, and banks receive only the financial information necessary to process transactions.
  • KYC Verification Provider: A registered third-party service may be used for identity verification.
  • Legal Authorities: We are required to disclose information when ordered by a court or directed by a government authority.
  • Fraud Prevention: Limited data may be shared with partner security services for fraud detection purposes.

In each of the above cases, only the minimum information necessary for that specific purpose is shared. All third-party partners are contractually bound to uphold 8min's privacy standards.

Our Commitment: 8min will never transfer your information to advertisers, data brokers, or marketing agencies — that is our commitment.
