4. Legal Basis for Processing

499 Bat processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:

• Contract performance: Processing your data is necessary to provide the services you signed up for — including running your account, processing bets, and handling payments.
• Legal obligation: We are required by law to collect and retain certain data, including identity verification records and transaction histories, for anti-money laundering and regulatory compliance purposes.
• Legitimate interests: We process some data — such as technical logs and gaming activity — to protect the security of the platform, prevent fraud, and improve our services. We always balance these interests against your privacy rights.
• Consent: Where we send you marketing communications or use non-essential cookies, we do so only with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting [email protected].

5. Sharing Your Data

499 Bat does not sell your personal data. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment processors: We share necessary transaction data with bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and other payment providers to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers are bound by their own privacy obligations.
• Game providers: Some games on 499 Bat are provided by third-party software suppliers. These providers may receive limited technical data — such as session identifiers — to deliver the game. They do not receive your full personal profile.
• Identity verification services: Where we use third-party KYC providers to verify your age and identity, we share the relevant documents and data with those providers for verification purposes only.
• Legal and regulatory authorities: We may be required to disclose your data to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or courts where required by applicable law. We will notify you of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

All third parties with whom we share data are required to handle it securely and in accordance with applicable privacy laws. We do not permit third parties to use your data for their own marketing purposes.

6. Cookies

499 Bat uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform and improve your experience. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Here is how we use them:

• Essential cookies: These are required for the platform to function. They keep you logged in, maintain your session, and enable core features like the wallet and game loading. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while using 499 Bat.
• Preference cookies: These remember your settings and preferences — such as your preferred language or display options — so you do not have to set them every time you visit.
• Analytics cookies: We use analytics tools to understand how players navigate 499 Bat — which pages are visited most, where players drop off, and how long sessions last. This data is aggregated and anonymised.
• Security cookies: These help us detect and prevent fraudulent activity, including bot traffic and suspicious login attempts.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the 499 Bat platform. For essential cookies, no opt-out is available as they are required for the service to work.

7. Data Retention

499 Bat retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Here is a general guide to our retention periods:

• Account data: Retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five years after account closure, in line with anti-money laundering regulations.
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of the transaction.
• Identity verification documents: Retained for five years after account closure or the end of the business relationship.
• Support communications: Retained for two years from the date of the last communication.
• Technical and analytics data: Typically retained for up to 13 months in identifiable form, then anonymised or deleted.

When your data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it. If you request account closure, we will begin the deletion process for data that is not subject to a legal retention requirement.

9. Data Security

499 Bat 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, or disclosure:

• Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and 499 Bat is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security). Sensitive data stored on our servers is encrypted at rest.
• Access controls: Access to personal data is restricted to authorised staff who need it to perform their job functions. All staff with data access are trained in data protection obligations.
• Secure payment handling: Payment data is processed through certified payment gateways. 499 Bat does not store full payment credentials on its own servers.
• Regular security reviews: We conduct regular security assessments and vulnerability testing to identify and address potential weaknesses in our systems.
• Incident response: We have a documented incident response plan. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you by email as quickly as possible.

While we take every reasonable precaution, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your 499 Bat account and to contact us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised access.

10. Children's Privacy

499 Bat is strictly an adult platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. Our registration process includes age verification steps to prevent underage access.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a person under 18, we will delete that data immediately and close the associated account. If you believe a minor has registered on 499 Bat, please contact us at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control tools to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. 499 Bat supports responsible gaming at every level, starting with keeping the platform exclusively for adults.

11. Changes to This Policy

499 Bat may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players by email and display a prominent notice on the platform.

The updated policy will take effect from the date stated in the notice. Your continued use of 499 Bat after that date constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you should stop using the platform and contact us to close your account.
