Privacy & Data

229bat Privacy Policy

At 229bat, your personal data belongs to you. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have over it. We keep things plain and straightforward — no legal jargon designed to confuse.

Last updated: January 2025

How 229bat Handles Your Data

Six principles that guide every data decision we make at 229bat. The full policy follows below.

Your Data Is Encrypted

Every piece of personal data you share with 229bat is stored using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. Data in transit is protected by TLS. Your information is never stored in plain text on any 229bat server, and access is restricted to authorised personnel only.

We Never Sell Your Data

229bat does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes. Full stop. The only time your data is shared with an external party is when it is strictly necessary to operate the platform — for example, with payment processors or identity verification providers.

Minimal Data Collection

229bat only collects the data that is genuinely needed to run your account, process your payments, and keep the platform secure. We do not collect data speculatively or build profiles beyond what is required for platform operation and legal compliance.

You Control Your Data

You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data at any time. These rights are not buried in a form — you can exercise them by contacting the 229bat support team directly. We respond to all data requests within 30 days.

Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, 229bat will notify you promptly via your registered email address. We will explain what happened, what data was affected, and what steps we are taking to address it. Transparency is not optional for us.

Clear Retention Periods

229bat does not hold your data indefinitely. Retention periods are defined for each category of data and are based on legal requirements and operational necessity. When data is no longer needed and no legal obligation requires its retention, it is securely deleted.

Summary: 229bat collects only the data needed to run your account and keep the platform secure. We never sell your data. You can request access, correction, or deletion of your data at any time by contacting [email protected].

01Who We Are

229bat is an online gaming platform operating at https://229bat.net, serving players primarily in Bangladesh. When this Privacy Policy refers to "229bat", "we", "us", or "our", it means the 229bat platform and the team responsible for operating it.

229bat acts as the data controller for all personal data collected through the platform. This means we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data, and we are responsible for ensuring that processing is carried out lawfully and transparently.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or about how 229bat handles your personal data, you can reach us at any time at [email protected].

02Data We Collect

229bat collects personal data in three ways: data you provide directly, data generated automatically when you use the platform, and data received from third-party service providers. Here is a breakdown of each category:

Data you provide directly:

  • Full legal name
  • Date of birth
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Residential address
  • Government-issued ID details (for verification purposes)

  • Device type, operating system, and browser version
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page

229bat never stores full payment card numbers or mobile banking PINs. Payment credentials are handled entirely by your payment provider and are never transmitted to or stored on 229bat servers.

03How We Use Your Data

The table below sets out the specific purposes for which 229bat uses your personal data and the legal basis for each use:

04Legal Basis for Processing

229bat processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Contract performance: Processing is necessary to fulfil our obligations to you under the 229bat Terms and Conditions — for example, to process your deposits and withdrawals or to manage your account.
  • Legal obligation: Processing is required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering (AML) requirements, age verification obligations, and regulatory reporting duties.
  • Legitimate interest: Processing is necessary for 229bat's legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention, platform security, and improving the user experience — provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
  • Consent: For certain processing activities — such as sending you promotional emails or SMS messages — we rely on your explicit consent. You can withdraw this consent at any time by contacting support or using the unsubscribe link in any marketing communication.

05Data Sharing

229bat shares your personal data with third parties only where it is strictly necessary and only with parties who are contractually obligated to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable privacy laws. The categories of third parties we share data with are:

  • Payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, bank partners) — to process your deposits and withdrawals
  • Identity verification providers — to verify your age and identity as required by our compliance obligations
  • Fraud detection services — to identify and prevent fraudulent activity on the platform
  • IT infrastructure providers — hosting, cloud storage, and security services that support platform operations
  • Regulatory authorities — where we are legally required to report information, for example in connection with anti-money laundering investigations

229bat does not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or any other commercial third parties for marketing or profiling purposes. We do not transfer your personal data outside of the jurisdictions in which we operate without ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place.

All third-party service providers used by 229bat are vetted for data security compliance before being engaged, and are bound by data processing agreements that restrict how they may use your information.

06Cookies & Tracking

229bat uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, and understand how players use the site. Here is what we use and why:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without stopping use of the platform.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and display options. These improve your experience but are not strictly necessary.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how players navigate the platform so we can improve it. Data collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
  • Marketing cookies: Used only if you have opted in to receive personalised promotions. These track which promotions you have seen and interacted with.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the core features of the 229bat platform.

229bat does not use third-party advertising cookies or allow external ad networks to place cookies on the platform.

07Data Retention

229bat retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply:

Data Category Retention Period Reason
Account registration data Duration of account + 5 years after closure Legal / AML compliance
Transaction records 7 years from transaction date Financial regulatory requirement
Identity verification documents 5 years after account closure AML / KYC legal obligation
Game history and session logs 3 years from session date Dispute resolution / Responsible gaming
Support correspondence 3 years from last interaction Dispute resolution
Marketing preferences Until consent is withdrawn Consent-based
Analytics data 26 months (aggregated) Platform improvement

When data reaches the end of its retention period and no legal obligation requires its continued storage, 229bat securely deletes or anonymises it. Anonymised data — which cannot be linked back to you — may be retained indefinitely for statistical purposes.

08Your Rights

As a 229bat player, you have the following rights over your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

Right of Access

Right to Rectification

If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected promptly.

Right to Erasure

Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, subject to legal retention obligations.

Right to Restriction

Ask 229bat to restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while a dispute about accuracy is being resolved.

Right to Portability

Receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format so you can transfer it to another service if you choose.

Right to Object

Object to processing based on legitimate interest, including profiling. You can also withdraw marketing consent at any time.

09Data Security

229bat takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include:

  • AES-256 encryption for all data stored on 229bat servers
  • TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the 229bat platform
  • Two-factor authentication available for all player accounts
  • Role-based access controls ensuring that only authorised staff can access personal data, and only to the extent necessary for their role
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing conducted by independent security professionals
  • 24/7 intrusion detection monitoring for suspicious activity on platform infrastructure

While 229bat takes every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You also play a role in keeping your account secure — use a strong, unique password for your 229bat account and never share your login credentials with anyone.

If you suspect your 229bat account has been accessed without your permission, contact [email protected] immediately. We will lock your account and investigate within one hour.

10Children's Privacy

The 229bat 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 under 18, you must not register an account or use the 229bat platform in any way.

If 229bat becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 18, we will delete that data immediately and close the associated account. If you believe a minor has registered on the 229bat platform, please contact us at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Parents and guardians who are concerned about underage access to online gaming platforms are encouraged to use parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites. Visit our Responsible Gaming page for more information and resources.

11Updates to This Policy

229bat may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or platform features. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

For significant changes — such as new categories of data being collected or new purposes for processing — we will notify you directly via your registered email address before the changes take effect. For minor updates, the revised policy will simply be published on this page.

We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the 229bat platform after any update constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised policy. If you do not agree with any changes, you have the right to close your account and request deletion of your data.
