Privacy & Data

Privacy Policy — 299b

At 299b, your personal data is handled with care. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have over your own data. We keep it plain and honest — no legal maze.

Last Updated: 1 January 2025

How 299b Protects Your Privacy

Six core commitments that define how 299b handles your personal information — built around transparency, security, and your right to control your own data.

Your Data Is Encrypted

All personal data transmitted between your device and the 299b platform is protected using industry-standard TLS encryption. Data stored on 299b servers is encrypted at rest. Your payment details, identity documents, and account credentials are never stored in plain text.

We Never Sell Your Data

299b does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Your data is shared only with the service providers that 299b needs to operate — payment processors, identity verification services, and fraud prevention systems — and only to the extent necessary.

You Control Your Data

You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data held by 299b. You can update most of your account information directly from your 299b account settings. For data deletion requests or full data exports, contact the 299b support team at any time.

Minimal Data Collection

299b only collects the personal data that is genuinely needed to operate the platform, process payments, verify identity, and comply with legal obligations. We do not collect data speculatively or build profiles beyond what is required to provide you with a safe and functional gaming experience.

Marketing Is Optional

299b will only send you promotional communications if you have opted in to receive them. You can withdraw your consent at any time by updating your communication preferences in your account settings or by contacting [email protected]. Opting out of marketing does not affect your ability to use the 299b platform.

Clear Retention Limits

299b does not hold your personal data indefinitely. Data is retained only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by applicable law. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with 299b's data retention schedule.

1 Who We Are

299b is an online gaming platform operating at 299b.io. When this Privacy Policy refers to "299b", "we", "us", or "our", it means the 299b platform and the team responsible for operating it. This Privacy Policy applies to all services offered through the 299b website and the 299b mobile app.

299b is the data controller for the personal information you provide when registering and using the platform. This means 299b determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data, and is responsible for ensuring that your data is handled lawfully and transparently.

Questions about your data? Contact the 299b data team directly at [email protected]. We aim to respond to all privacy-related queries within 5 business days.
2 Data We Collect

299b collects personal data in three ways: information you provide directly, information generated by your use of the platform, and information received from third-party service providers. Here is a clear breakdown of what we collect and why:

Category Data Collected Why We Collect It
Account Data Name, date of birth, mobile number, email address, username, password (hashed) To create and manage your 299b account
Identity Verification National ID number, photo ID document, selfie image To verify your age and identity as required
Payment Data Mobile wallet number (bKash, Nagad, Rocket), transaction IDs To process deposits and withdrawals
Gaming Activity Game history, bet amounts, win/loss records, session duration To operate games, calculate payouts, and support responsible gaming
Technical Data IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, app version To secure your account and improve platform performance
Communications Support chat logs, emails, feedback submissions To resolve queries and improve customer service
We do not collect your full payment card numbers, bank account details, or any biometric data beyond the identity verification selfie required for age and identity checks.
3 How We Use Your Data

299b uses your personal data only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We do not use your data in ways that would surprise you or that you have not been informed about. The main purposes for which 299b processes your personal data are:

  • To register and maintain your 299b account.
  • To verify your age and identity before allowing withdrawals or at any point required by our operating procedures.
  • To process deposits and withdrawals via your registered mobile wallet.
  • To operate the games available on the 299b platform and calculate correct payouts.
  • To detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other prohibited conduct.
  • To provide customer support and resolve disputes.
  • To send you transactional communications — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and security alerts — that are necessary for the operation of your account.
  • To send you promotional communications about 299b bonuses and offers, where you have opted in to receive them.
  • To monitor and improve the performance, security, and user experience of the 299b platform.
  • To comply with legal and regulatory obligations applicable to 299b.

299b does not use automated decision-making or profiling in ways that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you without human review.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

299b processes your personal data on the following legal bases:

Contract Performance

Most of the data processing 299b carries out is necessary to perform the contract between you and 299b — that is, to provide you with the gaming services you have registered for. This includes account management, payment processing, and game operation.

Legal Obligation

Some processing is required for 299b to comply with applicable legal obligations, including identity verification, anti-money laundering checks, and the retention of transaction records.

Legitimate Interests

299b processes certain data — such as technical and security data — on the basis of legitimate interests, specifically the interest in operating a secure and fraud-free platform. We only rely on this basis where our interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Consent

Where 299b processes your data for marketing communications, we do so on the basis of your consent. You can withdraw this consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5 Data Sharing

299b does not sell your personal data. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Payment Processors: bKash, Nagad, and Rocket receive the transaction data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and are bound by applicable data protection obligations.
  • Identity Verification Providers: Where identity verification is required, your ID documents and verification selfie may be shared with a third-party identity verification service. This data is used solely for verification purposes and is not retained by the provider beyond the verification process.
  • Fraud Prevention Services: 299b uses fraud detection tools that may process technical data such as IP addresses and device identifiers to identify suspicious activity.
  • Legal Authorities: 299b may disclose your personal data to law enforcement, regulatory authorities, or courts where required to do so by applicable law or a valid legal order.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of 299b's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. You will be notified of any such transfer and your rights will be preserved.
All third parties that process data on behalf of 299b are required to handle your data securely and only for the specific purpose for which it was shared. 299b does not permit third-party service providers to use your data for their own marketing purposes.
6 Cookies and Tracking

The 299b website and app use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate correctly and to improve your experience. Here is what we use and why:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the 299b platform to function. They manage your login session, maintain your account security, and remember your preferences during a session. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without affecting your ability to use the platform.

Analytics Cookies

299b uses analytics tools to understand how players use the platform — which pages are visited most, where users encounter difficulties, and how the platform performs across different devices. This data is aggregated and anonymised. You can opt out of analytics cookies in your browser settings.

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your settings and preferences — such as your preferred language or display settings — so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit 299b.

  • You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time.
  • Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the core features of the 299b platform.
  • The 299b mobile app uses equivalent local storage mechanisms in place of browser cookies.
7 Data Security

299b takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration:

  • All data in transit between your device and 299b servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher.
  • Passwords are stored using one-way hashing with salting — 299b staff cannot read your password.
  • Access to personal data within 299b is restricted to staff who need it to perform their role, and is logged and audited.
  • 299b servers are hosted in secure data centres with physical access controls, redundant power, and 24/7 monitoring.
  • 299b conducts regular security assessments and penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities.
If you suspect your account has been compromised, change your password immediately and contact [email protected]. 299b will investigate and take appropriate action to secure your account.

While 299b takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no system is completely immune to security risks. In the event of a data breach that is likely to affect your rights, 299b will notify you promptly and take immediate steps to contain the breach.

8 Data Retention

299b retains your personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following general retention periods apply:

Data Type Retention Period
Account and identity data Duration of account plus 5 years after closure
Transaction records 7 years from the date of the transaction
Gaming activity logs 3 years from the date of the activity
Customer support communications 3 years from the date of the interaction
Technical and security logs 12 months on a rolling basis
Marketing consent records Until consent is withdrawn, plus 1 year

When data reaches the end of its retention period, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.

9 Your Rights

You have the following rights in relation to the personal data that 299b holds about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact [email protected] with your account details and the specific right you wish to exercise.

Right of Access

Request a copy of all personal data 299b holds about you. We will provide this within 30 days of your request.

Right to Rectification

Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data held by 299b. Most account data can be updated directly in your account settings.

Right to Erasure

Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, subject to legal retention obligations.

Right to Restriction

Request that 299b restricts processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while the accuracy of data is being contested.

Right to Portability

Request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format so you can transfer it to another service provider.

Right to Object

Object to processing of your data based on legitimate interests, including profiling. You can also withdraw marketing consent at any time.

Response time: 299b will respond to all data rights requests within 30 days. Where a request is complex or involves a large volume of data, we may extend this by a further 30 days and will notify you of the extension.
10 Children

The 299b platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. 299b does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you must not register an account or use the 299b platform.

If 299b becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 18, that account will be immediately closed, all data will be deleted, and any balance will be forfeited. If you believe a minor has registered a 299b account, please contact [email protected] immediately.

11 Changes to This Policy

299b may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or the services we offer. When we make changes, the updated policy will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.

For significant changes that materially affect how we use your personal data, 299b will notify registered players via the contact details associated with their account before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the 299b platform after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically so you are always aware of how 299b handles your personal data. If you have any concerns about a change, contact [email protected] before the change takes effect.
