Preference Cookies
Used to remember your language, theme, and personal settings.
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect core platform functionality and cause login issues. hot 18 does not use third-party advertising cookies, and your browsing behaviour is never shared with external ad networks. We also use local storage and session storage, which are cleared automatically when you close your browser.
Data Retention & Security Measures
Hot 18 uses industry-standard security technology to protect your data. All data transmissions are secured via SSL/TLS encryption, keeping communication between your browser and our servers fully protected. Your password is never stored in plain text — it is encrypted using a strong hashing algorithm. Payment details such as bKash or Nagad numbers are processed in a PCI-DSS compliant environment, and full account numbers are never stored on our servers. Our infrastructure undergoes regular security audits and penetration testing to quickly identify and address any vulnerabilities. Server access is governed by strict permission controls, and only authorized personnel can access the data they need.
Here's what you need to know about data retention: all data is stored securely for as long as your account remains active. After an account is closed or deleted, certain data may be retained for up to 5 years as required by legal obligations. Financial transaction records are kept for the period prescribed by Bangladesh Bank guidelines. Once that period expires, all personal data is securely deleted or anonymized. In the event of a data breach, we are committed to notifying affected users promptly in accordance with applicable law.
Sharing Data with Third Parties
Hot 18 never sells your personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. However, limited data sharing may occur in the following circumstances to provide our services.
- Payment Processors: Information necessary to process transactions is shared with bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or banking partners. These partners follow their own privacy policies and use data solely for payment processing.
- Technology Providers: Limited data may be shared with trusted technology partners for server hosting, cybersecurity, and platform operations. These partners operate under strict confidentiality agreements.
- Legal Authority: We are legally obligated to provide information as required by law enforcement agencies or court orders in Bangladesh. In such cases, only the specifically requested information will be disclosed.
- Fraud Prevention: Limited data may be exchanged with security partners to detect unauthorized activity or fraudulent transactions.
Hot 18 ensures that the data protection standards of any third party are verified before sharing information with them. We sign data processing agreements with all our service partners to ensure your information is used solely for its intended purpose. You have the right to know with whom your personal data has been shared, and you are welcome to contact us with any questions regarding this.
