Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains exactly what data 1971 collects, why we collect it, how we protect it, and what rights you have over your own information.
Six core privacy commitments that shape how 1971 handles your personal data — written plainly, not in legal boilerplate.
Every piece of personal data you share with 1971 — from your name and phone number to your bKash details — is protected by SSL encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. We use the same security standards as major financial institutions. Your data is never stored in plain text on our servers.
1971 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Full stop. The data you share with us is used to operate your account, process payments, and improve your experience on the platform — nothing else. We have no commercial arrangement with data brokers.
You have the right to access, correct, and delete the personal data 1971 holds about you. You can also request a copy of your data in a portable format. These rights can be exercised at any time by contacting our support team — no complicated forms, no waiting weeks for a response.
1971 collects only the data that is genuinely necessary to operate the platform and comply with our legal obligations. We don't collect data speculatively or build profiles beyond what's needed for your account. If we don't need it, we don't ask for it.
We don't hold onto your data indefinitely. 1971 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, 1971 will notify you promptly — within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. We will explain what happened, what data was affected, and what steps we are taking to address it.
This Privacy Policy explains how 1971 ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal data of players and visitors who use the 1971 platform at 1971.one. It applies to all users of the platform, including registered players, visitors browsing the site, and anyone who contacts our support team.
We take your privacy seriously. 1971 is built on trust — and that trust starts with being transparent about how we handle your personal information. This policy is written in plain language so you can actually understand it, not just scroll past it.
Important: By registering an account or using the 1971 platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and use of your data as described here.
1971 collects personal data in two categories: data you provide directly, and data we collect automatically when you use the platform.
Data you provide directly:
Data collected automatically:
1971 does not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or health information.
1971 collects your personal data through the following channels:
1971 uses your personal data for the following purposes. We only process your data where we have a lawful basis to do so — either because it is necessary to fulfil our contract with you, because we have a legitimate interest, or because we are required to by law.
Marketing: 1971 will only send you promotional communications if you have opted in. You can opt out at any time by contacting our support team or updating your account preferences.
1971 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, and analyse how the site is used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit the platform.
Types of cookies we use:
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from using the 1971 platform. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to play.
1971 does not use third-party advertising cookies or allow ad networks to place cookies on the platform.
Protecting your personal data is a core responsibility at 1971. We implement a range of technical and organisational security measures to safeguard your information against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure.
While we take every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no system is completely immune to risk. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your 1971 account and to enable two-factor authentication.
1971 retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by our legal and regulatory obligations. The specific retention periods for different categories of data are outlined below.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account information | Duration of account + 5 years | Legal and regulatory compliance |
| Transaction records | 7 years from transaction date | Anti-money laundering regulations |
| Identity documents | Duration of account + 5 years | KYC compliance requirements |
| Support communications | 3 years from last interaction | Dispute resolution and quality assurance |
| Usage and analytics data | 13 months (anonymised after 30 days) | Platform improvement |
| Marketing preferences | Until opt-out or account closure | Consent management |
When data reaches the end of its retention period, it is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. You may request early deletion of your data subject to our legal retention obligations — see Section 9 for details.
As a 1971 player, you have the following rights over your personal data. These rights can be exercised at any time by contacting our support team at [email protected].
Request a copy of all personal data 1971 holds about you. We will provide this within 30 days of your request.
Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Request deletion of your personal data, subject to our legal retention obligations. Certain data must be retained by law.
Request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format so you can transfer it to another service.
Request that we restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances, such as while a dispute is being resolved.
Object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes. We will stop immediately upon receiving your request.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. There is no charge for making a request.
The 1971 platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered on the 1971 platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
Upon receiving a verified report of an underage account, 1971 will close the account immediately, delete all associated personal data, and return any deposited funds to the payment method used. We take underage access extremely seriously and have age verification measures in place at registration and at the point of first withdrawal.
Some of the third-party service providers used by 1971 — including certain payment processors and security services — may process your data in countries outside Bangladesh. Where this occurs, 1971 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to the same standard as required under this Privacy Policy.
These safeguards include contractual data protection clauses with all third-party processors, and we only work with providers who can demonstrate adequate data protection standards. We do not transfer data to countries that lack adequate data protection frameworks without implementing additional protective measures.
1971 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
For significant changes that materially affect how we use your personal data, we will notify you directly via email or through an in-platform notification before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the 1971 platform after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how 1971 protects your information.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, want to exercise your data rights, or have a concern about how 1971 handles your personal information, please get in touch with our team:
