Privacy Policy – 499bad Betting Platform Data Protection

01 Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the 499bad platform, accessible at 499bad.asia, including the website, mobile application, and any related services. It explains how 499bad collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data, and what choices you have regarding that data.

By creating an account on 499bad or continuing to use the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with how 499bad handles personal data, you should discontinue use of the platform and contact us to close your account.

499bad is committed to handling your personal data responsibly and transparently. We do not collect more data than we need, we do not keep it longer than necessary, and we do not share it with parties who have no legitimate reason to access it. That is our baseline commitment to every player on the 499bad platform.

02 Data We Collect

499bad collects personal data in two broad categories: data you provide directly when registering and using the platform, and data that is generated automatically through your use of the service.

Data you provide directly:

• Full name and date of birth
• Email address and mobile phone number
• Residential address
• Username and account password (stored in hashed form)
• Identity verification documents (national ID, passport, or equivalent) when requested
• Mobile financial service account details (bKash, Nagad, or Rocket number) for payment processing
• Communications you send to the 499bad support team

Data generated automatically:

• IP address and approximate geographic location
• Device type, operating system, and browser information
• Session timestamps and duration
• Pages visited and features used within the 499bad platform
• Betting history, game activity, and transaction records
• Cookie and session data (see the Cookies section for full details)

03 How We Collect Your Data

499bad collects personal data through the following channels:

• Registration form: When you create a 499bad account, you provide your name, date of birth, contact details, and payment information.
• Account activity: Every time you log in, place a bet, deposit funds, or interact with a game on 499bad, activity data is recorded automatically.
• Identity verification: If 499bad requests verification documents — for example, before processing a withdrawal — you submit those documents directly through the platform or via email to the support team.
• Support communications: When you contact the 499bad support team by email or live chat, the content of those communications is stored for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
• Cookies and tracking technologies: The 499bad platform uses cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session and remember your preferences. See the Cookies section for full details.
• Payment providers: When you make a deposit or withdrawal via bKash, Nagad, or Rocket, those providers may share transaction confirmation data with 499bad to verify the payment.

04 How We Use Your Data

499bad uses your personal data for the following specific purposes. We do not use your data for any purpose not listed here without first obtaining your explicit consent.

499bad does not use your personal data for third-party advertising, profiling for commercial sale, or any purpose unrelated to the operation of the platform and fulfilment of our legal obligations.

05 Legal Basis for Processing

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

• Contractual necessity: Processing your name, contact details, and payment information is necessary to fulfil the contract between you and 499bad — specifically, to operate your account and process transactions.
• Legal obligation: 499bad is required by applicable law to verify player identities, maintain transaction records, and report certain activities to regulatory authorities. This processing is mandatory and cannot be opted out of.
• Legitimate interests: 499bad processes certain data — such as IP addresses and device information — to detect fraud, protect the security of the platform, and prevent money laundering. These interests are balanced against your privacy rights.
• Consent: Where 499bad sends you optional marketing communications or uses non-essential cookies, this is done only with your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

06 Data Sharing

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

• Payment processors: bKash, Nagad, and Rocket receive the minimum data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and are bound by applicable financial regulations.
• Identity verification providers: Where 499bad uses a third-party KYC service to verify your identity documents, that provider receives only the data required for verification and is contractually prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
• Fraud prevention agencies: In cases of suspected fraud or money laundering, 499bad may share relevant data with fraud prevention organisations or financial intelligence units as required by law.
• Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: 499bad will disclose personal data to government authorities, regulators, or law enforcement agencies when legally required to do so — for example, in response to a court order or regulatory investigation.
• IT and infrastructure providers: 499bad uses trusted third-party providers for hosting, data storage, and platform infrastructure. These providers act as data processors under contract and are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.

07 Data Retention

499bad retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a defined period after account closure, in accordance with our legal obligations and legitimate business needs.

• Active accounts: All personal data associated with an active 499bad account is retained for the duration of the account's existence.
• Closed accounts: Following account closure, 499bad retains identity and transaction records for a minimum of five years to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and financial record-keeping requirements.
• Support communications: Records of support interactions are retained for three years from the date of the last communication.
• Marketing consent records: If you have opted into marketing communications, your consent record is retained for as long as you remain subscribed, plus one year after unsubscribing.

Once the applicable retention period has expired, 499bad will securely delete or anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be linked back to you as an individual.
