06 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

ak44 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the platform to enable core functionality, enhance the user experience, and support analytics. The categories of cookies used are as follows:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session authentication cookies, security tokens, and load-balancing cookies. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: Used to understand how players interact with the platform — for example, which games are most popular and how navigation flows are used. Data collected is aggregated and anonymised.
• Functionality Cookies: Used to remember your preferences, such as language settings and game display options, to provide a more personalised experience.
• Marketing Cookies: Used to track the effectiveness of ak44 promotional campaigns. These cookies are only set where you have provided consent for marketing communications.

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality. ak44's cookie settings panel, accessible from the platform footer, allows you to manage non-essential cookie categories at any time.

07 Data Security

ak44 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the ak44 servers.
• Encrypted storage for all data at rest on ak44 infrastructure.
• Hashed and salted storage of all account passwords — plain text passwords are never stored or accessible.
• Role-based access controls limiting internal staff access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis.
• Regular security audits and penetration testing conducted by qualified third-party security specialists.
• Intrusion detection and monitoring systems operating continuously across the platform infrastructure.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) available to all players and mandatory for internal staff accessing player data systems.

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, ak44 will notify affected players promptly and take all appropriate steps to contain and remediate the breach.

08 Data Retention

ak44 retains personal data for the periods set out below, or for longer where required by applicable law:

• Account and Identity Data: Retained for the duration of your account's active status and for a minimum of five years following account closure, as required for anti-money laundering compliance purposes.

• Support Communications: Retained for three years from the date of the interaction, for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.

• Technical and Usage Data: Anonymised aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely. Personally identifiable technical data is retained for 12 months from collection.

When your data reaches the end of its retention period, it is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents re-identification.

09 Your Rights

As an ak44 player, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. These rights may be subject to certain limitations under applicable law, but ak44 will always endeavour to honour them in full where possible:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact the ak44 support team via live chat or at the email address provided in Section 12. ak44 will respond to all rights requests within 30 days of receipt.

10 Children's Privacy

The ak44 platform is strictly for use by persons aged 18 years and above. ak44 does not knowingly collect or process personal data from individuals under the age of 18. The collection of personal data from minors is prohibited and in direct conflict with ak44's responsible gaming commitments.

During the registration process, all applicants are required to confirm that they are at least 18 years of age. ak44 may request documentary proof of age as part of its identity verification process. Where ak44 becomes aware that a minor has registered or used the platform, the account will be immediately closed, all funds will be returned where legally permissible, and the personal data of the minor will be deleted in accordance with applicable law.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has accessed the ak44 platform, please contact the support team via live chat immediately so that the matter can be addressed without delay.

ak44 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. When material changes are made, ak44 will notify registered players via the email address associated with their account and/or via a prominent notice on the platform, prior to the changes taking effect.

The effective date displayed at the top of this document reflects the date of the most recent revision. Your continued use of the ak44 platform following the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated Privacy Policy.

If you object to any changes to this Privacy Policy, you may close your account and request deletion of your data by contacting the support team. Data deletion will be handled subject to the retention obligations described in Section 8.
