k1971 Privacy Policy
k1971 is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect from players in Bangladesh, why we collect it, how it is used, and the rights you have over your own data.
Who We Are
k1971 ("we", "us", "our", or "the Platform") operates the online betting and gaming website available at k1971.onl. We provide sports betting, live casino, slots, and related gaming services to registered players in Bangladesh.
This Privacy Policy applies to all users who visit, register on, or interact with the k1971 platform in any capacity. It describes how k1971 collects, stores, uses, and protects personal data in connection with the services we provide.

How We Collect Your Data
k1971 collects personal data through the following channels:
3.1 Direct Submission
The majority of your personal data is provided directly by you when you register an account, complete KYC identity verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact our support team, or respond to a promotion or survey.
3.2 Automated Collection
When you access k1971.onl, our servers automatically collect certain technical data including your IP address, device identifiers, browser fingerprint, and session activity. This data is collected through server logs and first-party cookies (see Section 8 for full cookie details).
3.3 Third-Party Payment Providers
When you process a transaction through bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or a bank partner, those providers may share transaction confirmation data with k1971 to reconcile your deposit or withdrawal. k1971 receives only the minimum data necessary to confirm the transaction — we do not receive your full wallet PIN or banking login credentials.
3.4 Identity Verification Partners
Where k1971 uses a third-party KYC verification service to validate your identity documents, that partner may share the outcome of the verification check (confirmed, rejected, or pending) along with data extracted from your submitted documents. All such partners are contractually bound to handle your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
How We Use Your Data
k1971 uses your personal data for the following purposes:
| Purpose | Data Used | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration and management | Identity, contact, account data | Contract performance |
| Age and identity verification (KYC) | Identity documents, date of birth | Legal obligation |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals | Financial data, account data | Contract performance |
| Fraud prevention and AML compliance | Financial, technical, identity data | Legal obligation |
| Responsible gaming monitoring | Account activity, gaming logs | Legal obligation / legitimate interest |
| Customer support and dispute resolution | Identity, account, communication data | Contract performance |
| Platform security and technical performance | Technical and usage data | Legitimate interest |
| Personalised promotions and bonus offers | Account activity, preferences | Consent / legitimate interest |
| Service improvement and analytics | Usage data (aggregated) | Legitimate interest |
k1971 does not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review. Promotional targeting is based on aggregated behavioural patterns and is reviewed by our team before any communications are sent.
Legal Basis for Processing
k1971 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal grounds:
- Contract Performance: Processing is necessary to provide the services you have registered for, including account management, betting, and payment processing.
- Legal Obligation: Processing is required to comply with applicable legal requirements, including anti-money laundering (AML) laws, age verification mandates, and fraud prevention obligations.
- Legitimate Interest: Processing is in the legitimate operational interests of k1971, such as improving platform security, preventing abuse, and maintaining service quality — provided those interests do not override your fundamental rights.
- Consent: Where we send you marketing communications or use non-essential cookies, we will first obtain your explicit consent. You may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting [email protected].
Data Sharing & Disclosure
k1971 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes. We may share your data in the following limited and controlled circumstances:
6.1 Service Providers
We engage carefully selected third-party service providers to support platform operations, including payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and banking partners), KYC verification providers, cloud hosting and infrastructure partners, and customer support technology providers. All service providers operate under data processing agreements that restrict them from using your data for any purpose other than fulfilling their contracted role for k1971.
6.2 Game Content Providers
Where you play games supplied by third-party studios such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, or Ezugi, those providers' systems may receive technical session data (such as a session token and stake/win amounts) necessary to deliver the game. These providers do not receive your full identity profile.
6.3 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure
k1971 may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or other authorities where required by applicable law, court order, or government authority. We will notify you of such disclosure where legally permitted to do so.
6.4 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of k1971's business assets, personal data held by k1971 may be transferred to the acquiring entity. You will be notified of any such transfer and the applicable privacy terms before it takes effect.
Data Retention
k1971 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our standard retention periods are as follows:
- Active account data: Retained for the lifetime of your account and for a period of five (5) years after account closure, to meet AML and audit obligations.
- Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction, in accordance with financial record-keeping requirements.
- KYC verification documents: Retained for five (5) years from the date of submission or account closure, whichever is later.
- Support communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the last communication in a support thread.
- Technical logs and usage data: Retained for up to twelve (12) months in identifiable form, after which they are aggregated and anonymised.
- Marketing consent records: Retained for the duration of your consent, plus three (3) years thereafter as evidence of consent.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, k1971 will securely delete or anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be linked back to you.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
k1971.onl uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform effectively, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors interact with the site. The categories of cookies we use are as follows:
8.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the platform to function. They enable core features such as maintaining your login session, processing transactions securely, and applying your responsible gaming settings. These cookies cannot be disabled without significantly impairing your ability to use k1971.
8.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences (such as your preferred language display, odds format, or game category) so that you do not need to re-configure them each time you visit. They are set with your consent and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
8.3 Analytics Cookies
With your consent, k1971 uses anonymised analytics cookies to understand which pages and features are most used, where players encounter difficulties, and how we can improve the overall experience. Analytics data is processed in aggregate form and is not used to identify individual users.
8.4 Managing Cookies
You may manage or disable non-essential cookies at any time through your browser's settings panel. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on k1971.onl. Clearing your browser cookies will log you out of any active session.
Data Security
k1971 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or alteration. Our security framework includes:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and k1971.onl is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols, preventing interception in transit.
- Encrypted Data Storage: Sensitive data, including passwords and payment identifiers, is stored in encrypted form. Passwords are hashed using a strong one-way algorithm and are never stored in plain text.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within k1971's internal systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Only authorised personnel with a legitimate operational reason may access player data.
- Regular Security Audits: k1971 conducts periodic internal and independent security reviews of its platform, data storage systems, and internal processes to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
- Incident Response: In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights, k1971 will notify affected players and the relevant authorities within the timeframes required by applicable law.
While k1971 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security. You also play an important role in protecting your own data by maintaining a strong, unique password for your k1971 account and by never sharing your login credentials with anyone.
Your Privacy Rights
As a player on k1971, you hold a number of rights with respect to your personal data. k1971 is committed to honoring these rights promptly and without unnecessary barriers:
- Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data k1971 holds about you. We will provide this in a structured, commonly used format within a reasonable timeframe.
- Right to Rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it. You may also update some data directly through your account settings panel.
- Right to Erasure: You may request that k1971 delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations (see Section 7).
- Right to Restrict Processing: You may ask k1971 to temporarily halt the processing of your data in certain circumstances, such as while a dispute is being investigated.
- Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on contract performance, you may request that your data be transferred to you or to another controller in a machine-readable format.
- Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing based on k1971's legitimate interests, including profiling for personalised promotions. Where you object, k1971 will cease such processing unless there are compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent (for example, for marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting [email protected]. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
To exercise any of the above rights, please contact our support team by email at [email protected]. We will verify your identity before processing any request to ensure your data is not disclosed to an unauthorised party. We aim to respond to all valid privacy requests within thirty (30) days.
Children's Privacy
k1971 is strictly an adult platform. Our services are not directed at, and are not intended to be used by, any individual under the age of 21. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21.
If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21 without parental or guardian consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. If you believe a minor has registered on k1971, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
Third-Party Links
k1971.onl does not contain links to external third-party websites. However, game content embedded within the platform may be delivered by third-party studios including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi. These studios operate their own privacy practices and are contractually bound to protect session data shared with them as described in Section 6.2.
k1971 is not responsible for the privacy practices of any independent third-party studio or payment service provider. We encourage you to review the privacy documentation of any service you use directly outside of k1971.onl.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
k1971 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or the services we offer. When material changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Where a change materially affects your rights or the way we use your data, we will also notify registered players via email or an in-platform notification before the change takes effect.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to remain informed about how k1971 protects your personal information. Your continued use of the platform following the posting of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the changes.
