How k1971 Handles Your Data

These cards give you a quick overview of our key privacy commitments. The full details are in the policy sections below.

Your Data Is Encrypted

Every piece of data you send to k1971 — from your registration details to your payment information — is protected by SSL encryption in transit. Your stored data is secured using industry-standard encryption protocols. We don't cut corners on security.

We Never Sell Your Data

k1971 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes. Your data is used only to operate your account, process payments, and improve the platform. That's it — no exceptions.

You Control Your Data

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data at any time. You can also request a copy of everything k1971 holds about you. Contact our support team and we'll handle your request promptly.

Payment Data Stays Private

Your bKash, Nagad, or Rocket account details are used only to process your deposits and withdrawals. We do not store full payment credentials on our servers. Payment data is handled through secure, encrypted channels with our payment partners.

Cookies Used Responsibly

k1971 uses cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how the platform is used. We don't use cookies to track you across other websites. You can manage cookie preferences from your browser settings at any time.

Opt Out of Marketing Anytime

If you've opted in to receive promotional messages from k1971, you can opt out at any time by contacting our support team or updating your account notification preferences. We will stop sending marketing communications within 48 hours of your request.

01 Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how k1971 ("we", "us", "the platform") collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal data of anyone ("you", "the player", "the user") who registers an account or uses any service on the k1971 website at https://k1971.org.

We take your privacy seriously. At k1971, we believe that players in Bangladesh deserve to know exactly what happens to their personal information when they use our platform. This policy is written in plain language so that it's easy to understand — not buried in legal jargon that nobody reads.

By registering an account at k1971, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and that you consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described here. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not register an account or use the k1971 platform.

Your data, your rights. This policy tells you exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and what you can do about it. If anything is unclear, contact our support team before registering.

02 Data We Collect

k1971 collects personal data in several ways — directly from you when you register or use the platform, automatically when you browse the site, and from third parties such as payment processors. Here is a breakdown of what we collect and why.

Data Type Examples How Collected
Identity Data Full name, date of birth, national ID number Registration form, KYC verification
Contact Data Mobile number, email address Registration form
Financial Data Mobile banking account number (bKash, Nagad, Rocket), transaction history Deposit and withdrawal processing
Technical Data IP address, device type, browser type, operating system Automatically via cookies and server logs
Usage Data Pages visited, games played, bets placed, session duration Automatically via platform analytics
Communications Data Live chat transcripts, support emails When you contact our support team

We only collect data that is necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, or health information unless specifically required by law.

03 How We Use Your Data

k1971 uses your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Account management: To create and maintain your k1971 account, verify your identity, and keep your account secure.
  • Payment processing: To process deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, and Rocket, and to maintain accurate transaction records.
  • Platform operation: To provide access to games, sports betting markets, and all other k1971 services.
  • Customer support: To respond to your queries, resolve disputes, and improve our support service.
  • Fraud prevention: To detect and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, and other prohibited conduct on the platform.
  • Responsible gaming: To monitor gaming patterns and identify players who may need support, in line with our responsible gaming commitments.
  • Platform improvement: To analyse how the platform is used and make improvements to the user experience.
  • Marketing communications: To send you promotional offers and updates, but only if you have opted in to receive them.
Marketing opt-in: k1971 will only send you promotional messages if you have explicitly agreed to receive them. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting our support team.

04 Legal Basis for Processing

k1971 processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:

  • Contract performance: Processing is necessary to provide the services you have signed up for, including account management, payment processing, and access to games.
  • Legal obligation: We are required to collect and retain certain data to comply with anti-money laundering regulations, age verification requirements, and other applicable laws.
  • Legitimate interests: We process some data to protect the security of the platform, prevent fraud, and improve our services — provided these interests do not override your privacy rights.
  • Consent: For marketing communications and non-essential cookies, we rely on your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis, we always carry out a balancing assessment to ensure that our interests do not unfairly override your rights and freedoms as a player.

05 Data Sharing

k1971 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Payment processors: We share the minimum necessary financial data with bKash, Nagad, and Rocket to process your transactions. These providers have their own privacy policies and security standards.
  • Identity verification providers: When you complete KYC verification, your identity documents may be processed by a third-party verification service. This data is used solely for verification purposes.
  • Technology providers: We use third-party services for platform hosting, analytics, and customer support tools. These providers are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify.
  • Law enforcement and regulators: We may disclose your data to law enforcement agencies, regulators, or courts if we are legally required to do so, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud or protect the safety of our players.

All third parties who receive your data from k1971 are required to maintain appropriate security measures and to use your data only for the purposes for which it was shared. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your data for their own marketing purposes.

No data sales, ever. k1971 has never sold player data and never will. Your information is used only to run your account and keep the platform safe.

07 Data Retention

k1971 retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by law and our internal policies. Here is a general guide to our retention periods:

When your data is no longer needed, k1971 will securely delete or anonymise it. We do not keep personal data longer than necessary. If you request deletion of your account, we will action this within 30 days, subject to any legal retention obligations that require us to keep certain records.

09 Data Security

k1971 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We have implemented a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration.

  • SSL encryption: All data transmitted between your device and k1971 is encrypted using SSL/TLS technology.
  • Secure servers: Your data is stored on servers with restricted access, firewalls, and regular security audits.
  • Access controls: Only authorised k1971 staff who need access to your data to perform their job can access it.
  • Two-factor authentication: k1971 supports two-factor authentication for player accounts to add an extra layer of security.
  • Incident response: In the event of a data breach that affects your rights, k1971 will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable.

While we take every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You also play a role in keeping your account safe — use a strong, unique password and never share your login credentials with anyone.

Security tip: k1971 will never ask for your password via live chat, email, or phone. If anyone claiming to be from k1971 asks for your password, do not provide it and report it to our support team immediately.

10 Children's Privacy

k1971 is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you must not register an account or use the k1971 platform.

If k1971 discovers that personal data has been collected from a person under 18, we will delete that data immediately and close the associated account. If you believe that a minor has registered an account on k1971, please contact our support team at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. k1971 supports all efforts to keep gaming away from children and young people.

k1971 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
