We only receive data from third parties that have a lawful basis to share it with us.

3 How We Use Your Personal Data

• Payment processing: To process deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank transfer partners. Lawful basis: contract performance.
• Fraud prevention and security: To monitor account activity for signs of fraudulent, abusive, or suspicious behaviour, and to protect the integrity of the platform and its users. Lawful basis: legitimate interests.

4 Sharing Your Personal Data

ek1971 does not sell your personal data. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment processors: We share the minimum necessary financial and identity data with payment service providers (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard, and partner banks) to process your transactions securely.
• Identity verification providers: We may engage third-party KYC service providers to assist with verifying user identity and age. These providers are contractually bound to process data solely for this purpose.
• Technology and hosting providers: Our platform infrastructure relies on third-party hosting and cloud service partners. These providers operate under strict data processing agreements and do not access your data except as necessary to maintain service availability.
• Legal and regulatory authorities: We may disclose personal data to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or other competent authorities where required by applicable law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of ek1971 or other users.
• Business transfers: In the unlikely event that ek1971 undergoes a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, personal data held by us may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

In all cases where we share data with third parties, we require those parties to respect the security and confidentiality of your personal data and to process it only in accordance with our instructions and applicable privacy law.

5 Cookies and Similar Technologies

ek1971 uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — and similar technologies to provide a functional, personalised, and secure platform experience. The categories of cookies we use are as follows:

• Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential to the operation of the platform. They enable core functions such as session management, login authentication, and security features. These cookies cannot be disabled without impairing platform functionality.
• Preference cookies: These remember your settings and preferences (such as language preference or notification settings) so that you do not have to re-enter them on each visit.
• Analytics cookies: These help us understand how users interact with ek1971 by collecting anonymised data on page visits, session duration, and feature usage. This information is used solely to improve the platform and is never used to identify individual users.

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain categories of cookies may affect the functionality of the platform. ek1971 does not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

6 Data Security

ek1971 implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Our security measures include, but are not limited to:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
• Encrypted storage of sensitive account and payment data at rest.
• Role-based access controls that limit data access to authorised personnel only.
• Regular internal security audits and vulnerability assessments.
• Automated monitoring systems that flag unusual account activity in real time.

While we take all reasonable steps to safeguard your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users as promptly as practicable in accordance with our obligations under applicable law.

7 Data Retention

ek1971 retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. In practice, this means:

• Account data is retained for the duration of your account's active status plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in line with standard financial record-keeping requirements.
• Transaction records (deposits, withdrawals, bets) are retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the transaction.
• Identity verification documents are retained for the same period as account data unless a shorter retention is required by the specific verification provider's terms.
• Support communications are retained for up to three (3) years following the resolution of the relevant query.
• Anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it no longer constitutes personal data.

When the applicable retention period expires, data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. You may request early deletion of specific data categories by contacting [email protected], subject to our legal and regulatory obligations which may require us to retain certain records regardless of your request.

8 Your Data Rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in respect of the personal data ek1971 holds about you:

• Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time.
• Right to rectification: You may request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data without undue delay.
• Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations.
• Right to restrict processing: You may request that we suspend the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while the accuracy of data is contested.
• Right to data portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract, you may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to object: You may object to the processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis, including for direct marketing purposes. We will cease that processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to all requests within a reasonable timeframe. We may need to verify your identity before processing a data rights request.

9 Children and Age Restrictions

ek1971 is strictly an adult platform. Access is limited to individuals aged 21 years or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a user who is under 21, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. If you believe a minor has registered on ek1971, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
