5 Legal Basis for Processing
a71b relies on the following legal bases when processing your personal data:

- Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and first-party analytics is carried out on the basis of a71b's legitimate interest in operating a safe, secure, and sustainable platform, provided that such interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.
- Consent: Marketing communications and the use of non-essential tracking technologies are processed on the basis of your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
6 Data Sharing
a71b does not sell your personal data. We share personal data only in the following limited and controlled circumstances:
- KYC and identity verification providers: Your identity documents and biographic data are shared with regulated third-party verification services for the sole purpose of confirming your age and identity. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality and data processing agreements.
- Payment service providers: Transaction reference data is shared with bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and other payment partners to facilitate deposits and withdrawals. These providers are independently regulated and subject to their own privacy obligations.
- Game technology providers: Anonymised or pseudonymised session data is shared with Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, Ezugi, and other certified suppliers for the purpose of dispute resolution, game integrity monitoring, and jackpot verification.
- IT and hosting infrastructure providers: Our cloud hosting and database infrastructure providers may have access to personal data stored on their systems as part of routine service delivery. All such providers are bound by data processing agreements that restrict use to infrastructure purposes only.
- Fraud prevention and security networks: In cases of suspected fraud, account takeover, or money laundering, relevant data may be shared with industry fraud prevention databases or law enforcement agencies as required.
- Legal and regulatory authorities: Where required by a valid court order, regulatory direction, or statutory obligation, a71b will disclose personal data to the relevant authority. Where permitted by law, a71b will endeavour to notify the affected player prior to disclosure.

8 Data Security
a71b employs a layered approach to data security designed to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your browser or device and our servers.

- Incident response procedures that are regularly tested to ensure that in the event of a breach, containment, assessment, and notification actions are carried out swiftly and effectively.
9 Data Retention

| Technical / Log Data | 13 months from collection | Security monitoring & fraud prevention |
At the expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is either securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with any individual player.

10 Your Rights
As a player whose personal data is processed by a71b, you hold the following rights. To exercise any of these rights, please submit a written request to [email protected] from the email address registered on your account. a71b will acknowledge your request within 5 business days and provide a full response within 30 days.
- Right of Access: You may request a copy of all personal data that a71b holds about you, along with information about how it is being used and the legal basis for processing.
- Right to Rectification: If any personal data held by a71b is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected or updated. Some corrections (e.g., legal name changes) require supporting documentation.
- Right to Erasure: You may request that a71b delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, where you have withdrawn consent, or where there is no overriding legitimate ground for continued processing. This right is subject to mandatory legal retention requirements described in Section 9.
- Right to Restriction: You may request that a71b temporarily suspend processing of your data — for example, while a rectification request is being investigated — without deleting the data itself.
- Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on your consent or contractual necessity, you may request a structured, machine-readable export of the personal data you have provided to a71b.
- Right to Object: You may object to processing carried out on the basis of a71b's legitimate interests, including direct marketing. Upon receipt of a valid objection to marketing, processing for that purpose will cease immediately.
- Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making: a71b does not make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on players. Human review is applied to all account suspension, fraud, and bonus abuse investigations.
11 Children & Minors
Parents and guardians who believe that a minor has registered an account on a71b are encouraged to contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and act on all such reports as a matter of priority. a71b recommends the use of parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. Free parental control tools are widely available and can be configured to block access to betting and casino platforms at the device or network level.
12 Marketing Communications
a71b will send promotional communications — including bonus offers, platform updates, seasonal promotions (such as Eid, Pohela Boishakh, or BPL season specials), and new game announcements — only to players who have explicitly opted in to receive such communications during registration or through their account settings.
You may withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time by:
- Clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any marketing email sent by a71b;
- Updating your communication preferences in the notifications section of your account settings; or
- Sending a written request to [email protected] requesting removal from all marketing lists.
Withdrawal of marketing consent will be processed within 5 business days. You may continue to receive transactional communications — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, account security alerts, and responses to support tickets — after withdrawing marketing consent, as these communications are necessary for the operation of your account and are not subject to consent-based opt-out.
