How We Use Your Data
a71 processes your personal data only for legitimate purposes directly related to the operation of the platform and the provision of services to you. We do not sell your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. The primary uses of your data are as follows.
- To create and manage your a71 account, including verifying your identity through our KYC programme and confirming that you meet the 21+ age requirement.
- To process deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard, and to maintain accurate financial records as required for anti-money-laundering compliance.
- To deliver the a71 gaming and betting services, including providing access to cricket betting markets (BPL, IPL, Bangladesh Tigers, T20 World Cup), live casino games, and slots titles.
- To monitor gaming activity for responsible gaming purposes, including enforcing self-exclusion requests, deposit limits, and session time reminders that you or our team have applied to your account.
- To send you service notifications, security alerts, account updates, and — where you have given consent — promotional communications about bonuses, offers, and cricket betting events relevant to Bangladesh.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the specific processing activity involved: performance of a contract (operating your account and providing services), compliance with a legal obligation (KYC, anti-money-laundering, responsible gaming requirements), our legitimate interests (fraud prevention, platform security, service improvement), and — where required — your consent (for marketing communications).
Sharing Your Data
a71 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share your data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.
- Payment processors and mobile money providers (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard) — solely to facilitate deposits and withdrawals. These providers operate under their own privacy frameworks.
- Game technology providers (such as Pragmatic Play and Evolution Gaming) — to deliver game functionality. These providers may process session data in order to run their certified platforms.
- Identity verification and KYC service providers — to confirm the accuracy of the documents and personal information you provide during account registration and verification.
- Law enforcement, regulators, and government authorities — where we are required by applicable law, court order, or other legal process to disclose personal data. a71 will comply with any lawful request and will, where legally permitted, notify you of such a disclosure.
All third parties with whom a71 shares data are required to handle it in accordance with applicable data protection standards. We do not permit our service providers to use your data for their own purposes beyond the service they provide to a71.
Your Privacy Rights
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
a71 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, maintain your session, detect fraud, and understand how players use our services. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We use the following types of cookies.
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the platform to function. These cannot be disabled. Examples include session authentication tokens and security cookies that prevent cross-site request forgery.
- Functional cookies — used to remember your preferences such as language settings and to personalise certain aspects of the platform experience without identifying you to third parties.
- Analytics cookies — used to measure platform usage, identify popular features, and improve performance. Data collected through analytics is aggregated and does not identify individual players.
Most mobile browsers allow you to manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair your ability to log in or use certain platform features. a71 does not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for doing so.
Data Security
a71 implements industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Our security infrastructure includes 256-bit SSL encryption on all data transmissions between your device and the a71 platform, secure server environments with access controls, regular security auditing, and staff training on data handling best practices.
Data Retention
a71 retains your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable law and regulatory obligations. In practice, this means that financial records and KYC documentation are typically retained for a minimum of five years following account closure, in line with anti-money-laundering requirements. Gaming activity logs may be retained for a shorter period unless they are relevant to an open dispute or investigation.
Where your data is no longer required for any legal or operational purpose, a71 will securely delete or anonymise it. Anonymised data (data from which you can no longer be identified) may be retained indefinitely for aggregate analytics and platform improvement purposes.
Minors and Underage Access
a71 is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21. If a71 discovers that personal data belonging to a person under the age of 21 has been collected, that data will be deleted and the associated account will be closed immediately. If you believe that a minor has registered on the a71 platform, please contact our support team at once so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Updates to This Policy
a71 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or the services we provide. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players through the platform interface or by email to the address registered on your account. The revised Policy will be posted with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the a71 platform after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
