Who we are
BookMyRail BD is an independent booking assistant for Bangladesh Railway e-tickets. We are not Bangladesh Railway or Shohoz. We act on your instructions, using your own railway account, to search and book seats faster.
What we collect
- Your railway login — mobile number and password. The password is used only to sign in to the railway site and is never stored.
- A short-lived login token so you don't re-enter your password on every action. It is encrypted at rest and expires automatically.
- Booking details you request — route, date, class, seat preferences, and the bookings we hold for you.
- Seat alerts — the routes and preferences you ask us to watch.
- A visitor ID cookie (
bmr_vid) plus basic usage events (page visits, searches, outcomes) so we can understand how the service is used and improve it.
How we use it
- To sign in and perform the searches, holds, and bookings you ask for.
- To send the confirmation OTP to your own phone via the railway system.
- To notify you about seat alerts you created.
- To measure and improve the product (aggregate analytics).
What we never do
- We never store your railway password.
- We never sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers.
- We never touch your money or card — payment goes directly to Bangladesh Railway via bKash.
- We never post, pay, or book without you confirming.
Cookies
We use a first-party session cookie/token to keep you logged in and a first-touch visitor cookie for privacy-preserving analytics. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
Data retention & security
Login tokens are encrypted and short-lived. Raw usage events auto-expire after 90 days. Data is stored on managed cloud infrastructure. You can delete a seat alert anytime, and logging out clears your session.
Your choices
- Log out at any time to end your session.
- Delete any seat alert you created.
- Contact us to request deletion of your data.

We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected here with a new date. See also our Terms of Service and Refund & Cancellation Policy.
