We may retain your information while your account is active and, after it is closed, for as long as required to meet applicable legal obligations. Financial transaction records are kept for a defined period in accordance with legal requirements.

Please note: No method of transmitting data over the internet or storing it electronically is 100% secure. However, we always strive to maintain the highest level of protection.

5 Sharing Data with Third Parties

229 bdt does not sell or rent your personal information. However, in certain circumstances we may share information with trusted third parties:

5.1 Service Providers

Necessary information may be shared with third-party service providers for payment processing (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and banking partners), technical infrastructure, customer support, and fraud detection. These providers are required to use the information only for the designated purpose.

5.2 Game Software Providers

When using services from game studios such as Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, PG Soft, JILI, and Spribe, gaming session data may be exchanged with those studios' systems. This is necessary for the games to function.

You have the right to know what information we hold about you. By contacting our support team, you can obtain details of the information stored about you.

7.2 Right to Correction

If your account contains incorrect or outdated information, you can request that it be corrected. This can be done through account settings or customer support.

If a minor in your household has somehow created an account on our platform, please notify our customer support team immediately.
