156bd Privacy Policy – Your Data, Your Rights

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") sets out how 156bd ("156bd", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects personal information relating to users ("you", "your", "User") of the 156bd website and associated online casino and sports betting services (collectively, the "Platform"). This Policy forms part of our Terms and Conditions and should be read alongside them. By creating an account on 156bd or by continuing to use the Platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein.

156bd is committed to handling all personal data responsibly, securely, and in full compliance with applicable data protection laws. We only collect personal data that is necessary for providing the Platform services, and we do not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties for their independent marketing purposes under any circumstances. This Policy applies to all users of the 156bd platform wherever they are located, with particular relevance to users based in Bangladesh.

2. Personal Data We Collect

156bd collects the following categories of personal data in the course of providing the Platform and its associated services. Not all categories apply to every user — the data collected depends on your activity on the Platform.

3. How We Collect Your Data

156bd collects personal data through the following methods. We only collect data that is directly relevant to providing, maintaining, and improving the Platform services.

• Direct collection: when you register an account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact customer support, or otherwise actively provide information to 156bd.

• Automated collection: technical and gaming activity data collected automatically during your sessions on the Platform, including through cookies and similar tracking technologies described in Section 9 of this Policy.

• Payment processors: financial transaction data received from bKash, Nagad, Rocket, DBBL, and other payment partners when you make a deposit or withdrawal. The payment processor handles the actual payment credential data and only passes transaction confirmation and reference data to 156bd.

• Third-party game providers: anonymised or aggregated session data from game providers such as Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, and Spribe, used to resolve disputes, verify game outcomes, and comply with fair-play audit requirements. These providers do not receive your personal identity data directly from 156bd.

4. How We Use Your Personal Data

156bd uses personal data strictly for the purposes described below. We do not use personal data for any purpose incompatible with the purpose for which it was originally collected, unless we obtain your further consent or are required to do so by law.

• Account administration: to create, verify, and maintain your 156bd account, process your deposits and withdrawals in BDT, and manage your account security including OTP authentication and session management.

• Identity and age verification (KYC): to verify that you are who you say you are, that you are at least 21 years of age, and that you are not on any self-exclusion or sanctions list. KYC is a legal and operational obligation.

• Service delivery: to allow you to access and play the games, sports betting markets, and other features available on the Platform, and to process your bonus claims and wagering activity.

• Responsible gaming: to monitor your gaming activity for indicators of problem gambling behaviour, to apply responsible gaming tools you have activated (deposit limits, cool-off periods, self-exclusion), and to contact you if we have serious concerns about your gaming patterns.

• Legal and regulatory compliance: to comply with applicable anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorism financing (CTF), and know-your-customer (KYC) obligations, to respond to lawful requests from regulatory authorities, and to maintain the transaction records required by law.

• Marketing communications: to send you promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates by SMS or push notification, if you have opted in to receive such communications. You may opt out at any time via your account settings or by contacting support.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

156bd processes personal data on the following legal bases. Where multiple bases apply to the same processing activity, all applicable bases are relied upon.

• Contract performance: processing necessary to fulfil our obligations to you under the Terms and Conditions — including account creation, payment processing, game access, and customer support.

• Legal obligation: processing required to comply with applicable laws and regulations including AML, KYC, data retention requirements, and lawful regulatory requests.

• Legitimate interests: processing necessary for 156bd's legitimate business interests where those interests are not outweighed by your rights and freedoms — including fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and service improvement analytics.

• Consent: where you have given explicit consent for specific processing activities (such as receiving marketing communications). You may withdraw this consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

6. Data Sharing and Third Parties

156bd does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share personal data only in the specific circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.

• Payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, DBBL, and other BDT payment partners): we share the minimum transaction data necessary to process your deposit or withdrawal. Payment processors are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only for payment processing purposes.

• Game technology providers (Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Spribe, Ezugi, NetEnt, Microgaming): these providers operate the game software and may receive session-level data necessary to run the games, resolve disputes, and comply with audit requirements. They operate under strict data processing agreements with 156bd.

• Fraud prevention and AML compliance services: we may share limited personal data with third-party identity verification, fraud detection, and AML screening services for the purpose of verifying player identities and protecting the Platform from financial crime.

• Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: we will disclose personal data to government or regulatory bodies when required to do so by applicable law, court order, or regulatory directive. Where possible and lawful, we will notify you of such a request before complying.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

156bd uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform, remember your preferences, maintain your session, and analyse usage patterns. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by the Platform when you visit it. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot be used to access other files on your device.

You can control cookies through your mobile browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform — in particular, disabling session cookies will prevent you from staying logged in. The following cookie types are used on the 156bd Platform.

• Essential cookies: required for the Platform to function correctly, including session management, authentication tokens, and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery. These cannot be disabled without breaking core Platform functionality.

• Analytics cookies: used to understand how players navigate the Platform, which features are most used, and where technical errors occur. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. This information is used to improve the Platform experience.

• Preference cookies: store your Platform preferences such as language selection, responsible gaming notification settings, and game display preferences, so that these are retained between sessions without requiring you to re-enter them each time.

8. Data Retention

156bd retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. The following general retention periods apply, subject to any longer periods required by applicable law.

Account data and KYC documentation are retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of account closure, in compliance with AML record-keeping requirements. Gaming activity records are retained for a minimum of 3 years. Marketing preferences and communications records are retained for 2 years from the last interaction. Technical log data is typically purged on a rolling 90-day cycle unless required for a specific investigation.

9. Data Security

156bd implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the Platform, encrypted storage of sensitive data at rest, access controls that restrict employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, regular security assessments and penetration testing, and two-factor authentication options for account access.

While 156bd takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, 156bd will notify affected users without undue delay and take all steps necessary to mitigate the impact of the breach.

10. Your Data Protection Rights

You have the following rights in relation to the personal data 156bd holds about you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to all valid requests within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

• 👁️
  Right of Access

  You have the right to request a copy of the personal data 156bd holds about you, along with information about how it is being processed. We will provide this in a readable format within 30 days of a valid request.

• ✏️
  Right to Rectification

  You have the right to request correction of any personal data we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete. Where data is corrected, we will notify any third parties to whom the data has been disclosed, where practicable.

• 🗑️
  Right to Erasure

  You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent, or where processing is unlawful. This right is subject to legal retention obligations — we cannot erase data that we are required by law to retain.

• ⛔
  Right to Object

  You have the right to object to processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis, and where your particular situation gives grounds for objection. You may also object to direct marketing communications at any time without providing any reason.

• 📦
  Right to Data Portability

  Where processing is based on your consent or on contract performance, and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and to request that we transmit this data to another data controller where technically feasible.

11. Children's Privacy

The 156bd platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. 156bd does not knowingly collect, store, or process personal data relating to individuals under the age of 21. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, we will immediately delete that data and close the associated account. Parents and guardians who believe a minor may have created a 156bd account should contact us immediately at [email protected].

12. International Data Transfers

156bd operates primarily for the Bangladesh market and stores the majority of user data on servers located in secure data centre facilities. In the course of providing the Platform, some personal data may be processed by third-party service providers whose infrastructure is located outside Bangladesh — in particular, game technology providers such as Evolution Gaming and Pragmatic Play who operate global platforms.

Where personal data is transferred outside Bangladesh, 156bd ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the data. These safeguards include contractual clauses that bind the recipient to data protection standards equivalent to those applicable in Bangladesh. If you would like more information about the safeguards applied to a specific international transfer, please contact us at [email protected].

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

156bd reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Where a material change is made, we will provide reasonable advance notice to active users via the Platform, by SMS, or by email. The date of the most recent version of this Policy is displayed at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.

Your continued use of the 156bd Platform following the effective date of any updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with the updated Policy, you should stop using the Platform. For material changes that affect how we use personal data you have already provided, we will seek your renewed consent where required by applicable law.

14. Contact Us
