Data Protection & Privacy
Privacy Policy — tk1973
Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains in plain terms how tk1973 collects, processes, stores, and protects the personal data of every player who registers and interacts with our platform. We are committed to handling your information responsibly, transparently, and securely at every stage of your journey with us.
Our Privacy Commitments
These cards outline the core privacy principles that guide how tk1973 handles your personal data. They are provided for orientation only — the full legal text in the sections below governs our data practices.
Minimal Data Collection
tk1973 collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary to operate your account, process transactions, verify your identity, and comply with our anti-money laundering obligations. We do not collect data we do not need.
Secure Storage
All personal data held by tk1973 is stored on encrypted servers protected by industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols. Access to your data is strictly limited to authorised personnel who require it to perform their job functions.
No Unauthorised Sharing
tk1973 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes. Data is shared only with trusted service providers who are contractually bound to protect it, and with authorities where legally required.
Your Rights Respected
You have the right to access, correct, and in certain circumstances delete the personal data we hold about you. You may also request a copy of your data or object to specific types of processing by contacting our support team.
Transparent Cookie Use
tk1973 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies solely to improve platform functionality, maintain your session, and analyse aggregate usage patterns. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time.
Limited Retention Periods
Personal data is retained only for as long as it is needed to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Once the retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymised.
This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the tk1973 website at https://tk1973.net and any associated mobile or desktop applications. By registering an account or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, please discontinue use of the Platform immediately and contact [email protected] to request account closure.
1 Data We Collect
tk1973 collects personal data from you in several ways: directly when you register an account or contact our support team, automatically when you use our platform, and from third parties such as payment processors and identity verification services. The categories of data we collect are described below.
1.1 Registration and Identity Data
When you create a tk1973 account, we collect the following information to establish your identity and verify your eligibility:
- Full legal name (as it appears on your government-issued identity document)
- Date of birth (to verify that you are aged 18 or above)
- Registered mobile phone number (used for OTP verification and account notifications)
- Email address (used for account correspondence and security alerts)
- Residential address (collected during KYC verification)
- Username and encrypted password hash
1.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Documents
To comply with our anti-money laundering obligations and to verify player age, tk1973 may request copies of the following documents:
- National Identity Card (NID) issued by the Bangladesh Election Commission
- Valid Bangladeshi passport (bio data page)
- Driver's licence (where it includes date of birth and photograph)
- Recent utility bill or bank statement for address verification (dated within 90 days)
KYC documents are stored in encrypted form and accessed only by authorised compliance personnel. They are never used for any purpose beyond identity verification and regulatory compliance.
1.3 Financial and Transaction Data
tk1973 records all financial activity associated with your account, including:
- Deposit amounts, dates, times, and payment method references (e.g., your registered bKash or Nagad number)
- Withdrawal requests, amounts, and processing statuses
- Betting history — game type, stake amounts, outcomes, and timestamps
- Bonus allocations, wagering progress, and bonus expiry records
- Account balance history
tk1973 does not store full payment account credentials. When you transact via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay, the payment is processed by the respective mobile financial service provider and tk1973 receives only a transaction reference and confirmation status.
1.4 Technical and Device Data
When you access the tk1973 platform, our servers and analytics systems automatically collect the following technical data:
| Data Type | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| IP Address | Your internet-facing IP at the time of login | Security monitoring, fraud detection, geo-restriction enforcement |
| Device Information | Device type, operating system, browser version | Platform optimisation, multi-account detection |
| Session Data | Login times, session duration, pages visited | Responsible gaming monitoring, UX improvement |
| Referral Source | URL of the page that linked to tk1973 | Marketing attribution (aggregate, anonymised) |
| Cookie Identifiers | Session tokens, preference cookies | Maintaining your logged-in session and language/display preferences |
1.5 Communications Data
If you contact tk1973 via email, live chat, or any other support channel, we retain records of those communications including your name, contact details, the content of your messages, and the timestamps of the exchange. These records are used to resolve your enquiry and to improve our support quality.
2 How We Use Your Data
tk1973 uses your personal data only for the purposes described in this section. We rely on one or more of the following legal bases for each processing activity: (a) contract performance — processing is necessary to deliver the services you have requested; (b) legal obligation — processing is required to comply with applicable law; (c) legitimate interest — processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests where those interests are not overridden by your rights; or (d) your consent — where we have obtained your explicit consent for a specific processing activity.
2.1 Account Management and Service Delivery
We use your registration, identity, and financial data to create and maintain your account, authenticate your identity at login, process deposits and withdrawals, credit bonuses, and provide access to games. This processing is necessary for the performance of our contract with you and cannot be opted out of while you maintain an active account.
2.2 Identity Verification and Fraud Prevention
We process your KYC documents and technical data to verify your age and identity, detect and prevent fraudulent activity (including multi-accounting, bonus abuse, and payment fraud), and comply with our anti-money laundering obligations. This processing is carried out on the basis of legal obligation and our legitimate interest in maintaining platform integrity.
2.3 Responsible Gaming Monitoring
tk1973 uses session data, betting history, and account activity to monitor for patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour. Where such patterns are identified, we may contact you to offer responsible gaming tools including deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion. This processing is carried out in your vital interest and in fulfilment of our responsible gaming obligations.
2.4 Customer Support
We use your communications data, account history, and transaction records to respond to your support enquiries, investigate complaints, and resolve disputes. Retaining a complete record of support interactions allows us to provide consistent, high-quality assistance and to identify recurring issues.
2.5 Security and Platform Integrity
IP addresses, device fingerprints, and session data are used to detect and block unauthorised access attempts, identify suspicious betting patterns, enforce geographic restrictions, and protect the integrity of our games. This processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in maintaining a secure and fair platform.
2.6 Legal Compliance and Regulatory Reporting
Where required by applicable law or by a lawful request from a competent authority, tk1973 will use and disclose personal data to comply with that obligation. This includes filing Suspicious Activity Reports where we identify or suspect money laundering or financial crime connected to a player account.
tk1973 does not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you without human oversight. Where automated tools flag an account for review (e.g., a potential duplicate account or a large withdrawal request), a qualified member of our compliance team reviews the case before any action is taken.
3 Data Sharing & Disclosure
tk1973 does not sell your personal data to any third party. We share your data only in the circumstances described in this section, and only to the minimum extent necessary for the stated purpose.
3.1 Payment Processors
When you initiate a deposit or withdrawal, the relevant transaction details (including your registered payment account reference and the transaction amount) are shared with the applicable mobile financial service provider — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay — solely for the purpose of processing that transaction. Each of these providers operates under its own privacy policy and is independently regulated by Bangladesh Bank.
3.2 Identity Verification Providers
tk1973 may use third-party KYC and identity verification service providers to assist with document authentication. Any provider engaged for this purpose is bound by a data processing agreement that restricts their use of your data to identity verification only and prohibits any secondary use or onward transfer.
3.3 Technology and Infrastructure Partners
Our platform is hosted on secure cloud infrastructure. Hosting providers and technology partners who process personal data on our behalf do so strictly as data processors under our instruction and are contractually obligated to implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures.
3.4 Game Software Providers
Game studios whose titles are available on tk1973 — such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi — may receive limited technical data (such as a pseudonymous player token and session parameters) that is necessary to operate their games within our platform. This data does not include your name, phone number, email address, or payment details unless expressly required for a specific game feature.
3.5 Law Enforcement and Regulatory Authorities
tk1973 will disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, or other competent authorities where we are required to do so by a lawful order, court judgment, or applicable legal obligation. Where permitted by law, we will attempt to notify you of such a disclosure request before complying, unless doing so would prejudice an ongoing investigation.
3.6 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of tk1973's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of the transaction. We will notify affected players of any such transfer and the privacy practices of the acquiring entity before the transfer is completed, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Under no circumstances does tk1973 sell, rent, or licence your personal data to advertising networks, data brokers, or marketing companies. We do not build advertising profiles from your data and we do not share your data with social media platforms for targeting purposes.
4 Cookies & Tracking
tk1973 uses cookies and similar technologies (including local storage and session tokens) to operate the platform, maintain your logged-in session, remember your display preferences, and collect aggregate usage statistics. This section explains the types of cookies we use and how you can manage them.
4.1 Types of Cookies Used
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration | Can Be Disabled? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Maintains your authenticated session, stores your CSRF token, enables the shopping cart / deposit flow | Session (deleted on logout) | No — disabling these cookies will prevent the platform from functioning |
| Functional / Preference | Remembers your preferred language, display settings, and responsible gaming limit preferences | Up to 12 months | Yes — disabling will reset your preferences on each visit |
| Analytics | Collects aggregate, anonymised data on page views, session duration, and navigation paths to help us improve the platform | Up to 24 months | Yes — opt out via browser settings |
| Security / Fraud Detection | Assigns a pseudonymous device identifier used to detect multi-accounting and suspicious login activity | Up to 6 months | No — these cookies are essential for platform security |
4.2 Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies through your web browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view cookies currently stored, delete individual or all cookies, and block future cookies from specific or all websites. Please note that disabling strictly necessary or security cookies will impair your ability to log in and use the tk1973 platform.
For detailed guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser, refer to the official help documentation provided by your browser vendor. Common browser settings paths:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Samsung Internet (common on Bangladeshi Android devices): Settings → Privacy → Smart Anti-Tracking
- Safari (iOS): Settings → Safari → Privacy & Security
4.3 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. tk1973's platform does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to browser-level DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for how platforms should respond to such signals. If you wish to limit data collection, please use the cookie management options described in section 4.2 above.
5 Data Security
tk1973 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. The key measures in place are described below.
5.1 Technical Security Measures
- SSL/TLS Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your browser or device and the tk1973 servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher, preventing interception by third parties.
- Encryption at Rest: Sensitive data fields — including identity document images, KYC records, and financial transaction histories — are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
- Password Hashing: User passwords are never stored in plain text. They are processed through an industry-standard one-way cryptographic hashing algorithm with per-user salting before storage.
- Two-Factor Authentication (OTP): tk1973 uses mobile OTP verification at the point of login and at the time of withdrawal requests, adding a second layer of protection beyond your password.
- Access Controls: Access to production systems containing personal data is restricted to a small number of authorised personnel and is governed by role-based access control policies. All access events are logged and audited.
- Intrusion Detection: Our infrastructure is monitored around the clock by automated intrusion detection systems that alert our security team to anomalous activity in real time.
5.2 Organisational Security Measures
- All staff members who handle personal data are required to complete data protection training as part of their onboarding.
- Access to personal data is granted on a strict need-to-know basis and is reviewed regularly.
- Third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf are subject to due diligence assessments and are required to sign data processing agreements before receiving access to any personal data.
- tk1973 maintains an incident response plan that defines the steps to be taken in the event of a suspected data breach, including internal escalation, containment, and notification procedures.
5.3 Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, tk1973 will notify affected players without undue delay. Notification will be sent to the email address registered on your account and will include a description of the nature of the breach, the categories and approximate number of records affected, the likely consequences of the breach, and the measures taken or proposed to address it.
While tk1973 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security. You are encouraged to use a strong, unique password for your tk1973 account and to enable OTP verification on your registered mobile number. Never share your login credentials with anyone, including individuals claiming to represent tk1973 support.
6 Data Retention
tk1973 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law or regulatory obligation. The retention periods applicable to the main categories of data we hold are set out below.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis for Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data (name, DOB, contact details) | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Legal obligation (AML / KYC record-keeping requirements) |
| KYC documents (NID, passport, utility bills) | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Legal obligation (identity verification record-keeping) |
| Financial transaction records | Duration of account + 7 years after closure | Legal obligation (financial record-keeping and AML compliance) |
| Betting and gaming history | Duration of account + 3 years after closure | Legitimate interest (dispute resolution, responsible gaming review) |
| Support communications | 3 years from the date of the last communication | Legitimate interest (complaint handling and quality assurance) |
| Technical / session logs | 90 days from creation | Legitimate interest (security monitoring and fraud detection) |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn + 1 year | Legal obligation (evidence of consent) |
Upon the expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or rendered permanently anonymous so that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual. Where deletion is not immediately possible due to system architecture constraints (for example, where data is included in database backups), the data will be isolated and protected from further processing until deletion is feasible.
7 Your Privacy Rights
As a player on tk1973, you have a number of rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. These rights are described below. To exercise any of these rights, please contact the tk1973 data protection team at [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request". We will acknowledge your request within 3 business days and aim to fulfil it within 30 calendar days. Complex requests may take up to 60 days; if additional time is needed, we will notify you within the initial 30-day window.
7.1 Right to Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data that tk1973 holds about you. We will provide this in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format (typically a CSV or PDF export). There is no charge for a first access request in any 12-month period; subsequent requests within the same period may incur a reasonable administrative fee.
7.2 Right to Rectification
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it. You can update basic account details such as your email address and contact number directly through your account settings. For corrections to identity or KYC data, please contact support with the relevant evidence of the correct information.
7.3 Right to Erasure
You may request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, where the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where you have withdrawn consent and no other legal basis for processing applies. Please note that this right is not absolute. Where we are required to retain your data to comply with a legal obligation (such as AML record-keeping requirements), we will not be able to delete it until the applicable retention period has expired.
7.4 Right to Restriction of Processing
You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while you contest the accuracy of the data or while an objection to processing is being assessed. During a restriction period, we will continue to store your data but will not actively process it for purposes other than storage.
7.5 Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract with you, and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a portable, machine-readable format and to request that we transmit it directly to another service provider where this is technically feasible.
7.6 Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where we rely on our legitimate interests as the legal basis for that processing. We will cease the processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for continuing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or where the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
7.7 Marketing Opt-Out
If you have consented to receive marketing communications from tk1973, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting [email protected] or by following the unsubscribe instructions included in any marketing message. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal, and it does not affect the processing of data that is necessary for the operation of your account.
