499app Privacy Policy

1 Data We Collect

499app collects personal data from you in three primary ways: information you provide directly during registration and account management, information generated automatically through your use of the platform, and information received from third-party service providers such as payment processors. The categories of personal data we collect are described below.

1.1 Registration & Identity Data

When you create a 499app account, we collect the following information to establish your identity and enable account management:

• Full legal name
• Date of birth (for age verification purposes)
• Residential address (city, district, and division within Bangladesh)
• Mobile phone number (used for account login, two-step verification, and payment wallet linkage)
• Account username and hashed password

1.2 Payment & Transaction Data

To process deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay, we collect and store the following transaction-related data:

• Mobile wallet number associated with each deposit or withdrawal
• Transaction reference numbers and timestamps
• Deposit and withdrawal amounts in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT)
• Running account balance history

499app does not store full mobile banking PIN numbers or authentication credentials for your mobile wallet accounts. Payment verification is handled directly by the respective mobile financial service providers.

1.3 Usage & Behavioural Data

As you use the 499app platform, we automatically collect technical and behavioural data to operate, secure, and improve our services:

1.4 Verification Documents

When age or identity verification is required, 499app may request and temporarily process copies of official identity documents such as a national identity card, passport, or driving licence. These documents are reviewed solely for verification purposes and are not retained beyond the period necessary to complete the verification process, subject to any applicable legal retention obligations.

2 How We Use Your Data

499app processes your personal data on the following legal bases and for the following purposes:

2.1 Contract Performance

The primary basis on which 499app processes your data is to fulfil the contractual obligations we have undertaken when you registered an account. This includes processing deposits and withdrawals, crediting winnings, managing bonuses, and providing access to the games and sports betting markets on the platform.

2.2 Legal Compliance

499app is required by applicable laws and regulations to collect and retain certain categories of personal and financial data. This includes anti-money laundering (AML) obligations, know-your-customer (KYC) requirements, and age verification mandates. We process your data to the extent necessary to comply with these obligations, and we may be required to disclose certain data to law enforcement or regulatory authorities upon receipt of a valid legal request.

2.3 Legitimate Interests

499app processes certain data on the basis of its legitimate interests in operating a secure, fair, and commercially viable platform. This includes:

• Fraud detection and prevention, including detection of multi-accounting, bonus abuse, and collusion
• Platform security monitoring and intrusion detection
• Responsible gaming monitoring — identifying at-risk betting patterns and applying protective tools
• Internal analytics and service improvement
• Communicating platform updates, policy changes, and service notifications to registered players

2.4 Marketing Communications

With your explicit consent at the point of registration (or subsequently via your account settings), 499app may send you promotional communications about bonuses, seasonal offers, new game launches, and cricket season specials. You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting our support team or updating your communication preferences. Withdrawing marketing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before the withdrawal.

3 Data Sharing & Third Parties

499app does not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. Data is shared only in the limited circumstances described below, and always subject to appropriate contractual safeguards.

3.1 Payment Service Providers

To process deposits and withdrawals, 499app shares the minimum necessary transaction data with the mobile financial service providers you use — namely bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay. These providers process your data under their own privacy policies and terms of service, which are independent of this policy. We encourage you to review the privacy documentation of any payment provider you use.

3.2 Game Providers

499app's platform integrates with third-party game studios including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi. When you access a game from one of these providers, limited session and account data (such as a session token, player ID, and currency) may be transmitted to the relevant provider to enable game loading and result recording. Game providers are contractually prohibited from using this data for any purpose other than game delivery and fair-play auditing.

3.3 Technical Infrastructure Providers

499app uses cloud hosting, content delivery, and platform security services from vetted infrastructure providers. These providers may process data on our behalf strictly in accordance with our documented instructions and are bound by data processing agreements that prohibit any unauthorised use of your personal information.

3.4 Legal Disclosures

499app may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, courts, or other public authorities where we are legally required or compelled to do so, or where such disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of 499app, its players, or the general public. We will notify affected players of any such disclosure to the extent permitted by law.

4 Cookies & Tracking

499app uses cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies on the platform. These technologies help us keep your session secure, remember your account preferences, and understand how players navigate the site so we can continuously improve the experience.

4.1 Types of Cookies We Use

4.2 Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, or to be notified before a cookie is placed. Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from logging in to your 499app account or using certain platform features. For detailed instructions on managing cookies in your specific browser, refer to the browser's help documentation.

4.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. At present, there is no universally agreed standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. 499app does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals from browsers, but we provide the cookie management options described above as an alternative means of controlling tracking.

5 Data Retention

499app retains your personal data for no longer than is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:

• Active account data — retained for the lifetime of your account and for a period of 5 years following permanent account closure.
• Transaction records — retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of each transaction, in compliance with financial record-keeping obligations.
• Identity verification documents — retained for the duration of your account plus 5 years, or for the period required by applicable law, whichever is longer.
• Support communication records — retained for 3 years from the date of the most recent communication in a given thread.
• Marketing consent records — retained for as long as you hold an account, or until consent is withdrawn, plus 1 year thereafter for compliance purposes.
• Analytics and usage logs — retained in anonymised or aggregated form for up to 24 months.

Upon the expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents re-identification. Where deletion is not technically feasible for a particular category of data, 499app will ensure that such data is isolated from further processing until deletion can be performed.

6 Data Security

499app implements a range of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our current security infrastructure includes:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and 499app servers
• AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest, including payment details and identity documents
• Role-based access controls ensuring that only authorised 499app personnel can access specific categories of player data
• Automated intrusion detection and real-time security monitoring
• Regular independent security audits and penetration testing
• Two-step verification available for all player accounts
• Segregated storage environments for different data categories

6.1 Data Breach Response

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of affected players, 499app will take immediate steps to contain the breach, assess its scope, and notify affected players at their registered contact details without undue delay. We will provide clear information about the nature of the breach, the categories of data affected, and the steps we are taking to mitigate harm.

6.2 Your Responsibility

While 499app takes extensive measures to protect the data we hold, the security of your account also depends on the strength and confidentiality of your password and the security of the device you use to access the platform. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for logging out of your account on shared or public devices. If you suspect that your account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately.

7 Your Privacy Rights

As a player on the 499app platform, you hold the following rights with respect to the personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team as described in Section 8 of this policy.

499app will respond to all privacy rights requests within 30 calendar days of receipt. In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further 30 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason for it before the initial 30-day period expires.

7.1 Identity Verification for Rights Requests

To protect the security of your account and prevent unauthorised disclosure of your personal data to a third party, 499app will verify your identity before processing any data rights request. This typically involves confirming your registered mobile number and one additional piece of identifying information. We may request a copy of your identity document where the request involves access to, or deletion of, a significant volume of sensitive personal data.
