Privacy Policy — How tk171 Collects, Uses, and Protects Your Data

1. Introduction

tk171 is committed to handling personal data responsibly and transparently. This Privacy Policy has been prepared to give players in Bangladesh a clear and complete understanding of the data practices that underpin the tk171 platform. It applies to all personal information collected through the website at https://tk171.ws, through any associated mobile browser interface, and through direct communications with our support team.

This policy should be read alongside the tk171 Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy. Together, these documents form the complete framework governing the relationship between tk171 and its registered players. Where any inconsistency arises between this Privacy Policy and the Terms & Conditions on a matter of data handling, this Privacy Policy takes precedence.

tk171 takes its obligations around data protection seriously. We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure that personal data is processed securely, retained only for as long as necessary, and used only for the purposes described in this document. We do not use your data for purposes incompatible with those described here without first obtaining your explicit consent.

2. Personal Data We Collect

tk171 collects personal data through several channels: directly from you when you register an account or contact support, automatically when you use the platform, and from third-party payment processors and identity verification providers where applicable. The categories of data we collect are described below.

2.1 Registration and Account Data

When you create a tk171 account, we collect the following information:

• Full legal name
• Date of birth (to verify you are aged 21 or above)
• Residential address in Bangladesh (city, district, postal code)
• Email address
• Mobile phone number
• Username and encrypted password
• Preferred currency (Bangladeshi Taka / BDT)

2.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data

To comply with anti-money laundering and responsible gaming obligations, tk171 may request documentary evidence of your identity and address. This may include:

• National Identity Card (NID) number and scan or photograph
• Passport or driving licence (if NID is unavailable)
• Proof of residential address (utility bill, bank statement)
• Confirmation that your bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay account is registered in your own name

2.3 Financial Transaction Data

When you make deposits or request withdrawals, tk171 records transaction details including the payment method used (e.g., bKash, Nagad, Visa, Mastercard), transaction amounts in BDT, transaction timestamps, and reference numbers. tk171 does not store full card numbers or mobile wallet PINs — these are handled by the respective payment providers using their own security infrastructure.

2.4 Betting and Gaming Activity Data

tk171 maintains records of your activity on the platform, including bets placed, games played, stakes, outcomes, bonus usage, and session durations. This data is used to operate the platform, resolve disputes, detect fraud, and meet responsible gaming monitoring obligations.

2.5 Technical and Device Data

When you access the tk171 website, our systems automatically collect certain technical information, including:

• IP address and approximate geolocation (country and city level)
• Device type, operating system, and browser version
• Pages visited, time on site, clickstream data
• Referral URL (the page from which you arrived at tk171)
• Cookie identifiers (see Section 6 for full cookie details)

2.6 Communications Data

If you contact tk171 support via live chat or email, we retain a record of that correspondence including the content of your messages, timestamps, and the outcome of any support interaction. This data is used for quality assurance, training, and dispute resolution.

3. How We Use Your Personal Data

tk171 uses the personal data described in Section 2 for the following defined purposes:

Purpose	Data Used
Account creation and management	Registration data, contact details
Identity verification and age checking	KYC documents, date of birth
Processing deposits and withdrawals	Financial transaction data, payment method details
Fraud prevention and security monitoring	Technical data, transaction data, betting activity
Responsible gaming monitoring	Gaming activity, session data, deposit history
Customer support and dispute resolution	Communications data, account data, transaction records
Platform improvement and analytics	Technical data, anonymised usage data
Promotional communications (with consent)	Email address, betting preferences
Legal and compliance obligations	All categories as required by applicable law

tk171 does not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human oversight. Where automated tools are used to flag accounts for review (e.g., fraud detection algorithms), a member of the tk171 compliance team reviews flagged cases before any action is taken.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

tk171 processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:

• Contract performance: Processing your registration data, financial transactions, and gaming activity is necessary to deliver the services you have contracted for when creating a tk171 account.
• Legal obligation: Identity verification, anti-money laundering checks, and record-keeping are carried out to comply with applicable legal and compliance requirements.
• Legitimate interests: Fraud prevention, security monitoring, platform analytics, and responsible gaming monitoring are carried out on the basis of tk171's legitimate interest in operating a safe and fair platform.
• Consent: Sending you promotional emails, newsletters, and personalised bonus offers is carried out only where you have given your explicit consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting support or updating your account communication preferences.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

5.1 Payment Processors

To process deposits and withdrawals, tk171 shares the minimum necessary financial data with payment service providers including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, Visa, and Mastercard. Each of these providers operates under their own privacy and security policies and is contractually required to handle your data in a manner consistent with applicable data protection standards.

5.2 Identity Verification Providers

Where tk171 uses a third-party KYC provider to verify identity documents, that provider receives only the documentation and data necessary to complete the verification. KYC providers are contractually bound to process this data for verification purposes only and to delete it upon completion of the check.

5.3 Game Software Providers

Game studios whose titles are available on tk171 — including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi — may receive a player session token and game-session data for the purpose of operating their games. These providers do not receive your full personal profile or financial data.

5.4 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure

tk171 may disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or courts where required to do so by applicable law, valid legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of tk171, its players, or the public.

5.5 No Sale of Personal Data

tk171 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial or marketing purposes. Any sharing of personal data is limited to the categories and purposes described in this section.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The tk171 website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to deliver a functional, personalised, and secure user experience. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. The following categories of cookies are used on tk171:

• Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in, security tokens, and load-balancing cookies. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core site functionality.
• Performance cookies: Collect anonymised information about how visitors use the platform — such as which pages are visited most often and whether error messages are received. This data is used to improve site performance.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, preferred deposit method, and responsible gaming limits you have set, so that these are retained across sessions.
• Analytics cookies: Used to understand aggregate user behaviour patterns on the tk171 platform. Data collected is anonymised and used solely to improve the platform experience.

You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the tk171 platform. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through the settings or preferences menu.

7. Data Security

tk171 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and tk171 servers
• Encrypted storage of passwords using industry-standard hashing algorithms
• Access controls ensuring that only authorised tk171 personnel can access personal data, and only to the extent necessary for their role
• Regular internal security reviews and monitoring of platform infrastructure
• Secure handling procedures for KYC documentation, including restricted access and defined retention periods

While tk171 takes all reasonable precautions to secure your data, no transmission over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed as completely secure. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights or interests, tk171 will notify affected players without undue delay and will take all appropriate remedial action.

8. Data Retention

tk171 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and compliance obligations. The following general retention periods apply:

• Active account data: Retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five years following voluntary account closure, to meet standard record-keeping and anti-money laundering obligations.
• KYC documentation: Retained for five years from the date of verification or account closure, whichever is later.
• Financial transaction records: Retained for five years from the date of each transaction.
• Support communications: Retained for two years from the date of the interaction.
• Technical and device data: Retained for up to 13 months from collection in aggregated or anonymised form for analytics purposes.
• Accounts closed for breach of Terms: Retained indefinitely for fraud prevention and to prevent re-registration by excluded individuals.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to an individual.

9. Your Data Rights

As a tk171 player, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact the tk171 support team via live chat. We aim to respond to all data rights requests within 30 days.

• Right of access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data tk171 holds about you, along with information about how it is used and with whom it has been shared.
• 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.
• Right to erasure: In certain circumstances — for example, where data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and no legal retention obligation applies — you may request that we delete your personal data.
• Right to restrict processing: You may request that tk171 restrict the processing of your personal data while a complaint or correction request is being assessed.
• Right to data portability: Where processing is based on your consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent — such as receiving promotional emails — you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
• Right to object: You may object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, including profiling for fraud prevention purposes, where you believe your individual circumstances justify this.

Please note that some rights are subject to conditions and exceptions. For example, the right to erasure does not apply where tk171 is required to retain data to comply with a legal obligation or to defend a legal claim. Where a request cannot be fulfilled in full, tk171 will explain the reason in its response.

10. Children's Privacy

The tk171 platform is strictly intended for adults. Players must be at least 21 years of age to register and use the platform. tk171 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If we become aware that a player account belongs to a person below this minimum age threshold, we will immediately suspend the account, delete any associated personal data to the extent permitted by applicable legal obligations, and decline to process any pending transactions.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has created a tk171 account, please contact our support team immediately so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

11. International Data Transfers

tk171 operates as an online platform and may use server infrastructure or third-party service providers located outside Bangladesh. Where your personal data is transferred to a jurisdiction outside your country of residence, tk171 takes steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. These safeguards may include contractual data protection clauses with the receiving party, ensuring that the destination jurisdiction offers an adequate level of data protection, or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms.

By using the tk171 platform, you acknowledge that your personal data may be processed in jurisdictions outside Bangladesh. tk171 will always ensure that such transfers are subject to appropriate protections and that your data rights are maintained regardless of where your data is processed.

12. Third-Party Links

The tk171 website does not contain links to external third-party websites. All navigation within the platform remains within the tk171 domain. However, game content delivered by third-party studios (such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe, and others) is served through embedded iframes or API integrations. tk171 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party game providers in relation to data processed within their own game environments. We encourage players to review the privacy policies of individual game studios if they have specific concerns about in-game data handling.

13. Updates to This Privacy Policy

tk171 reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, platform features, or applicable legal requirements. When material changes are made — meaning changes that significantly affect how your personal data is used or your rights as a data subject — we will notify registered players by email and by posting a prominent notice on the platform at least 7 days before the changes take effect.

Minor updates, such as clarifications of existing practices or corrections of typographical errors, may be made without prior notice. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how your data is handled. Continued use of the tk171 platform following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
