Privacy Policy — How t1971 Handles Your Data

1. Introduction

1.1   t1971 is an online betting and casino platform designed and built for players in Bangladesh. We understand that the personal information you share with us is sensitive, and we take our responsibility to protect it seriously. This Privacy Policy sets out in plain, clear English exactly how we handle your data at every stage — from your first visit to our site through to any eventual account closure.

1.2   This policy applies to all data processing activities carried out by t1971 in connection with the operation of the platform, including but not limited to: account registration and management; identity verification (KYC); payment processing; customer support interactions; marketing communications (where consented to); fraud prevention; responsible gaming monitoring; and website analytics.

1.3   We are committed to transparency. If at any point you have a question about how a specific category of your data is being handled, you are encouraged to contact our support team at [email protected] before proceeding to use the platform.

2. Data Controller

2.1   For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, t1971 — the operator of the platform at https://t1971.bio — acts as the data controller in respect of all personal data collected through or in connection with the platform.

2.2   As data controller, t1971 determines the purposes and means of processing personal data submitted by players and visitors. Where t1971 engages third-party service providers to process data on its behalf, those providers act as data processors under binding contractual obligations that restrict their use of your data to the specific purpose for which it was shared.

2.3   All data protection enquiries, access requests, and complaints should be directed to t1971's support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Protection Enquiry" to ensure prompt routing to the appropriate team member.

3. Data We Collect

3.1   t1971 collects the following categories of personal data from players and platform visitors:

3.2   t1971 does not intentionally collect special category data (as defined under international data protection frameworks), such as data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health information, or biometric data, except where a government-issued identity document submitted during KYC incidentally contains such information. In such cases, only the minimum necessary information is recorded for verification purposes.

4. How We Collect Data

4.1   Directly from you. The majority of personal data t1971 holds is provided directly by you in the course of: completing the account registration form; submitting KYC documentation in response to a verification request; making deposits or requesting withdrawals through the platform's cashier; contacting our support team via email or live chat; and updating your account settings or responsible gaming preferences.

4.2   Automatically through platform use. When you visit and interact with the t1971 platform, certain technical data is collected automatically through server logs, cookies, and similar tracking technologies. This includes your IP address, device and browser information, pages viewed, time spent on each page, and clickstream data. This automated collection occurs regardless of whether you are logged into your account.

4.3   From third-party service providers. t1971 may receive data about you from: payment processing partners (e.g., transaction reference numbers, payment status confirmations from bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and banking partners); identity verification providers engaged to assist with KYC compliance; fraud detection and security intelligence services; and game studios who provide player activity data in connection with the games they supply to the platform.

4.4   From publicly available sources. In limited circumstances related to fraud prevention or AML compliance, t1971 may consult publicly available information to cross-reference account information you have provided. This is a due-diligence measure and does not involve building a general profile from public sources for any other purpose.

5. Purpose & Legal Basis for Processing

5.1   t1971 processes your personal data only where a clear legal basis exists for doing so. The primary purposes for which we process personal data and the corresponding legal basis for each are set out in the table below:

5.2   Where t1971 relies on legitimate interest as the legal basis for processing, we have assessed that our interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms. You may contact us to request further details of any legitimate interest assessment.

5.3   Where processing is based on your consent — in particular, marketing communications — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

6.1   t1971 does not sell, rent, or otherwise commercially exploit your personal data to any third party. Data sharing occurs only in the limited circumstances described in this section:

• Payment Service Providers: Transaction data is shared with bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, Islami Bank, Visa, Mastercard, and other payment partners strictly for the purpose of processing your deposit or withdrawal instruction. These providers are subject to their own regulatory and data protection obligations.
• Identity Verification Providers: Where t1971 uses a third-party KYC vendor to assist with document verification, your identity documents and personal details are transmitted to that vendor in encrypted form. The vendor is contractually restricted from using your data for any purpose other than completing the verification task assigned by t1971.
• Game Content Studios: Providers such as Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, Ezugi, and Spribe may receive anonymised or pseudonymised player activity data in connection with the provision and maintenance of their game titles on the t1971 platform. No directly identifiable personal information is shared with game studios beyond what is technically necessary to authenticate your game session.
• Fraud and Security Services: Technical data (including IP addresses and device identifiers) may be shared with fraud prevention and cybersecurity services used by t1971 to protect the integrity of the platform. These services process data solely for risk and security analysis.
• Legal and Regulatory Authorities: t1971 will disclose personal data to competent authorities, law enforcement agencies, or regulators where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or formal regulatory request. In such cases, t1971 will disclose only the minimum data required to satisfy the legal obligation.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of t1971's business, player data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of the transaction. Players will be notified of any such transfer via the email address registered to their account in advance of the transfer becoming effective.

6.2   All third-party processors engaged by t1971 are required to enter into data processing agreements that impose obligations equivalent to those described in this Privacy Policy, including restrictions on use, security requirements, and data retention limits.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

7.1   t1971 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the platform to ensure it functions correctly, to improve your experience, and to gather analytics data. The types of cookies used are described below:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the platform to function and cannot be disabled. They include session authentication tokens, security cookies, and cookies that remember your login state between page loads.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymised data about how visitors interact with the platform — which pages are visited most frequently, how long sessions last, and where errors occur. This data is used to improve platform performance and user experience.
• Functional Cookies: These remember your preferences such as language settings, notification preferences, and responsible gaming configuration so that you do not need to re-enter them on each visit.
• Marketing & Targeting Cookies: Where you have opted in to marketing communications, these cookies may be used to deliver relevant promotional content. They are not activated for users who have not consented to marketing. You may withdraw consent at any time via your account settings.

7.2   Most web browsers allow you to control cookie behaviour through their settings. You may block or delete cookies at any time; however, disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair or prevent access to certain platform features, including account login.

7.3   t1971 does not use fingerprinting technologies, cross-site tracking pixels from social media platforms, or any tracking technology designed to identify you across websites other than t1971.bio.

8. Data Retention

8.1   t1971 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal, regulatory, financial, or audit obligations. The following retention schedules apply:

• Account and identity data: Retained for a minimum of 5 years following account closure. This period is required to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and financial record-keeping obligations.
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of the transaction, in line with financial compliance requirements.
• Gaming and wagering history: Retained for 5 years following account closure. This data may be reviewed in connection with dispute resolution or regulatory enquiries.
• Customer support communications: Retained for 3 years from the date of the interaction. Support logs may be referenced to resolve recurring issues or disputes.
• Marketing consent records: Retained for the duration of your account and for 2 years following account closure or consent withdrawal, as evidence of consent status.
• Website analytics data: Aggregated and anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be used to identify any individual player.

8.2   Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Deletion processes are carried out on a scheduled basis and access to data pending deletion is restricted to authorised personnel only.

9. Security Measures

9.1   t1971 implements a layered approach to data security that combines technical, organisational, and procedural controls to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

9.2   Access to personal data within t1971's operational systems is strictly limited to employees and contractors who require it to perform their role. All staff with data access are subject to confidentiality obligations and receive regular training on data protection best practices.

9.3   t1971 conducts periodic internal security reviews and vulnerability assessments. In the event that a security incident results in a breach of personal data that poses a material risk to affected players, t1971 will notify impacted players as promptly as practicable and will take immediate remedial action.

9.4   While t1971 takes all reasonable and proportionate measures to protect your data, no system can guarantee absolute security. You are also responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials. t1971 recommends using a unique, strong password for your account and not sharing your login details with any other person.

10. Your Data Rights

10.1   As a player whose personal data is processed by t1971, you have the following rights in relation to that data:

• Right of Access: You may request a copy of all personal data t1971 holds about you. We will respond to verified access requests within 30 days and provide the data in a clear, structured format.
• Right to Rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. Most account details (such as contact information) can be updated directly through your account settings. For identity data corrections, please contact support.
• Right to Erasure: You may request that t1971 delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent on which processing is based. Note that certain data must be retained to comply with legal obligations even after a deletion request — t1971 will inform you of any such restrictions when responding to your request.
• Right to Restriction of Processing: You may request that t1971 restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while a dispute about data accuracy is being resolved.
• Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on performance of a contract, you may request that t1971 provide your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format that can be transferred to another service provider.
• Right to Object: You may object to processing based on t1971's legitimate interests, including profiling for fraud prevention purposes, where you believe your individual circumstances override those interests. You may also object at any time to processing for direct marketing purposes.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

10.2   To exercise any of the rights listed above, please submit a written request to [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request". We may ask you to verify your identity before processing the request to protect your security. t1971 will not charge a fee for reasonable access or correction requests.

10.3   If you are dissatisfied with t1971's response to a data rights request, you have the right to escalate your complaint. Please refer to Section 14 for the complaints process.

11. Minors

11.1   The t1971 platform is intended exclusively for adults aged 21 years and above. t1971 does not knowingly collect or process personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Account registration requires users to confirm that they meet the minimum age requirement, and t1971 enforces this through its KYC verification process.

11.2   If t1971 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21 — whether through an oversight in the registration process, misrepresentation of age, or any other means — all data associated with that account will be permanently deleted, the account will be immediately closed, and any deposits will be returned to the payment source used. t1971 takes underage gambling seriously and actively monitors for indicators of underage account use.

11.3   If you believe a minor has registered an account on the t1971 platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

12. International Data Transfers

12.1   The t1971 platform serves players in Bangladesh. While most data processing is carried out within the region, certain third-party service providers — including game content studios and platform infrastructure providers — may be located outside Bangladesh. In such cases, personal data may be transferred internationally in connection with the provision of those services.

12.2   Where personal data is transferred to a service provider located in a jurisdiction that does not provide an equivalent level of data protection to that applicable in Bangladesh, t1971 ensures that appropriate contractual safeguards are in place. These typically take the form of standard data protection clauses that require the recipient to process the data in accordance with the standards described in this Privacy Policy.

12.3   You may contact t1971 support at [email protected] to request further information about the safeguards applied to any specific international data transfer.

13. Policy Amendments

13.1   t1971 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. The revised policy will be published on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Where changes are material — for example, a new category of data being collected, a new purpose being added, or a new category of data recipient being introduced — t1971 will notify registered players via their registered email address before the changes take effect.

13.2   Your continued use of the platform following publication of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not accept the revised terms, you should cease using the platform and contact support to close your account. Any data collected prior to the revised policy taking effect remains subject to the version of the policy in force at the time of collection.

13.3   Minor, non-material changes (such as clarifications of existing language, correction of typographical errors, or re-formatting) may be made without individual notification. The "Last Updated" date on this page will reflect all changes including minor ones.

14. Contact & Complaints

14.1   For any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or to the processing of your personal data by t1971, please contact our support team through the following channel:

14.2   If you are not satisfied with t1971's response to your privacy enquiry or data rights request, you have the right to escalate your complaint. t1971 will provide details of the applicable escalation pathway when responding to any unresolved complaint.

14.3   t1971 takes all privacy complaints seriously and will investigate each one thoroughly. We are committed to resolving privacy disputes fairly, transparently, and within a reasonable timeframe. Players who raise complaints in good faith will not face any negative consequences to their account as a result of raising a privacy concern.
