1971kt Privacy Policy – Your Data, Our Commitment

1 Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how 1971kt ("we", "us", "our") collects, processes, stores, and protects personal information submitted by users ("you", "your") when you visit and use the website at https://1971kt.app and all associated services (collectively, the "Platform").

1971kt is an online entertainment platform offering casino games, sports betting, and live dealer experiences, designed specifically for the Bangladesh market. We are committed to handling personal data with care, transparency, and respect. This policy is written in plain English so that you can clearly understand what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used.

By registering an account on 1971kt, making a deposit, or otherwise using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree with this policy, please discontinue use of the Platform and contact [email protected] to request account closure.

2 Data We Collect

1971kt collects personal data through several channels: information you provide directly during registration and KYC verification, data generated automatically through your use of the Platform, and information received from trusted third-party partners where necessary to deliver our services.

Full payment credentials are processed by our payment partners, not stored on 1971kt servers.
• Account CredentialsUsername and hashed password. Passwords are never stored in plain text — they are one-way hashed using industry-standard cryptographic algorithms before being written to our systems.
• Communications DataMessages and correspondence sent to our support team at [email protected], including complaint records, dispute submissions, and responsible gaming requests.

2.2 Data Collected Automatically

• Device and Technical DataIP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, and mobile network operator.
• Usage and Gameplay DataPages visited, features used, games played (slots, poker, Dragon Fishing 2, cricket betting, live dealer), session duration, bet amounts, wagering history, and platform interaction logs.
• Location DataGeneral geographic location derived from your IP address. We do not collect precise GPS location data unless you explicitly grant browser-level location permission.

3 How We Use Your Data

1971kt processes personal data on the basis of contractual necessity (to deliver the Services you have signed up for), legal obligation (to comply with anti-money laundering, KYC, and responsible gaming requirements), and legitimate interests (to maintain platform security and improve user experience). Where we rely on your consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time.

3.1 Core Service Delivery

We use your personal data to create and manage your account, process deposits and withdrawals in BDT via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and other supported methods, verify your identity through the KYC process, deliver the games and betting markets you access (including slots, poker, cricket, Dragon Fishing 2, and live dealer tables), and provide customer support via email.

3.2 Safety, Security, and Fraud Prevention

Your data — particularly device identifiers, IP addresses, and behavioural patterns — is used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorised account access, bonus abuse, money laundering, and any other conduct that may harm the Platform or other users. Where suspicious activity is identified, we may share relevant data with law enforcement or regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable legal obligations.

3.3 Responsible Gaming

Gameplay and financial data is monitored to identify patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour. 1971kt may use this data to proactively offer responsible gaming tools, enforce self-imposed limits, or intervene where our duty-of-care obligations require it. This processing is carried out in the genuine interest of our users' wellbeing.

3.4 Platform Improvement and Analytics

Aggregated, anonymised usage data is analysed to understand how users interact with the Platform, which features are most valued, and where technical or user-experience improvements should be made. This data does not identify you personally and is used solely to improve 1971kt's products and services.

3.5 Marketing and Promotions

With your consent, we may send you information about promotions, bonuses, and new features on 1971kt — particularly seasonal offers tied to BPL season, Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and other relevant occasions for our Bangladesh audience. You may withdraw your marketing consent at any time by contacting [email protected]. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal, nor does it affect your ability to continue using the Platform.

4 Sharing Your Data With Third Parties

1971kt does not sell personal data. We share data only in the limited circumstances described below, and always under appropriate contractual safeguards.

4.1 Payment Processors

To process your BDT deposits and withdrawals, your financial data is transmitted to the payment provider you select — such as bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, BRAC Bank, City Bank, Islami Bank, Sonali Bank, Visa, or Mastercard. These providers are independent data controllers governed by their own privacy policies and are responsible for their own data handling practices once your data is in their systems.

4.2 KYC and Identity Verification Partners

To fulfil our know-your-customer obligations, identity documents you submit — including NID scans and selfie photographs — are transmitted to our contracted KYC verification partner. This partner processes identity data solely for verification purposes under a strict data processing agreement with 1971kt.

4.3 Game Studios and Content Providers

When you play a game provided by a third-party studio — such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, or Ezugi — limited gameplay data (session tokens, bet values, game outcomes) is exchanged with that provider to deliver the game experience. Game providers do not receive your full personal profile, contact details, or payment information.

4.4 Legal and Regulatory Authorities

1971kt may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or other competent authorities where we are required to do so by law, court order, or binding regulatory instruction. We will notify you of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.

4.5 Business Transfers

In the event that 1971kt undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of its business assets, personal data held about users may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified via the email address associated with your account prior to any such transfer, and this Privacy Policy will continue to govern your data.

5 Data Security Measures

1971kt employs a multi-layered security architecture to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, and loss. Our security measures include, but are not limited to:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and our servers.
• AES-256 encryption at rest for sensitive data fields including identity documents and financial records stored on our infrastructure.
• Strict access controls ensuring that only authorised personnel with a genuine operational need can access personal data, on a least-privilege basis.
• Regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing conducted by qualified third-party security professionals.
• Secure, hashed storage of all account passwords using a modern, salted hashing algorithm — plain-text passwords are never stored.
• Intrusion detection and monitoring systems that flag and respond to anomalous access patterns in real time.
• Internal data handling policies and staff training to ensure that all 1971kt personnel who handle personal data do so responsibly and in compliance with this policy.

While 1971kt takes all reasonable and industry-appropriate precautions to secure your data, no system is entirely immune to breach. In the event of a data security incident that poses a material risk to your rights and interests, we will notify affected users promptly via the registered email address on their account.

6 Data Retention

1971kt retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following general retention periods apply:

• Account data and KYC documents: Retained for the duration of the account relationship and for a minimum of five years following account closure, in line with standard anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements.
• Transaction and financial records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of each transaction to support financial audit and regulatory compliance obligations.
• Communications and support records: Retained for two years from the date of each interaction, unless the record relates to an ongoing dispute or legal proceeding, in which case it is retained until that matter is fully resolved.
• Gameplay and session logs: Retained for up to two years for fraud prevention, responsible gaming monitoring, and dispute resolution purposes.
• Marketing consent records: Retained for the period during which marketing communications are sent, plus two years to demonstrate consent compliance.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Anonymised, aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes, as it can no longer identify any individual user.

7 Your Privacy Rights

As a user of the 1971kt platform, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request" and include your registered username and a description of your request. We will respond within 10 business days.

7.1 Right of Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data that 1971kt holds about you. We will provide this in a structured, readable format, along with information about how that data is being used.

7.2 Right to Rectification

If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. You may update basic account details (such as contact information) directly through your account settings after logging in via the 1971kt Login page. Changes to KYC-verified identity data require submission of updated documentation.

7.3 Right to Erasure

You may request deletion of your personal data where: the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected; you withdraw consent and there is no other lawful basis for processing; or the data has been processed unlawfully. Note that erasure requests may be declined or partially fulfilled where retention is required by legal obligation (for example, anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements).

7.4 Right to Restriction of Processing

In certain circumstances — such as while the accuracy of data is being contested, or while a legitimate interest objection is being assessed — you may request that 1971kt restrict the processing of your data to storage only.

7.5 Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, including profiling for responsible gaming monitoring. Where you raise a valid objection, 1971kt will cease the relevant processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

7.6 Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent — such as marketing communications — you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting [email protected]. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred prior to the withdrawal.

8 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

1971kt uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform, remember your preferences, maintain your session while you are logged in, and gather anonymised analytics data that helps us understand how the site is used.

8.1 Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for core platform functionality — session management, authentication state, and security tokens. These cannot be disabled without breaking the Platform.
• Preference Cookies: Remember your chosen settings such as display preferences and notification options so you do not need to reconfigure them on each visit.
• Analytics Cookies: Collect anonymised data about which pages and features are visited most frequently, how long users spend on different sections of the Platform, and where technical errors occur. This data is used solely to improve 1971kt's services and is never linked to identifiable user profiles for marketing purposes.

8.2 Managing Cookies

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging into your 1971kt account and using the Platform. Disabling preference cookies will mean your settings are not remembered between sessions. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the Platform but will prevent us from gathering the anonymised usage data we use to improve our services.

9 Children's Privacy

The 1971kt platform is strictly for adults aged 21 years and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided personal data to 1971kt, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. Upon confirmation, we will take prompt steps to delete the relevant data and close any account associated with an underage user.

Age verification is performed through our mandatory KYC process, which requires submission of a government-issued identity document. Registration is not complete until age verification is successfully passed.

10 Changes to This Privacy Policy

1971kt reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or the services we offer. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy and, where the changes are significant, notify registered users via email or an in-platform notification.

Your continued use of the 1971kt platform after a revised Privacy Policy has been published constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically. If you have questions about any update, contact [email protected] before continuing to use the Services.
