Disclosure and Data Sharing

k499 does not sell or rent your personal data. We may share information with the following limited categories of trusted parties, strictly for the purposes described in this policy:

• Payment processors: your financial data is shared with regulated payment service providers (such as bKash and Nagad gateway operators) only to the extent necessary to process your transactions securely.
• Technology and service providers: companies that support the technical operation of our platform, such as hosting providers, analytics tools, and security vendors, may process limited data on our behalf under strict contractual obligations.
• Legal and regulatory requirements: we may disclose information to competent authorities if required to do so by applicable law, court order, or to prevent fraud and illegal activity.

In every case, data sharing is conducted on a strictly need-to-know basis and governed by appropriate data protection agreements. We do not share your data with advertisers, marketing networks, or social media platforms.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

k499 uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our platform. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and analyse how you use our services.

We use strictly necessary cookies (required for the platform to function), performance cookies (to understand usage patterns), and functional cookies (to remember your settings). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies from third-party ad networks. You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality.

Data Retention

k499 retains your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. As a general rule, account data is retained for the duration of your active membership and for a defined period thereafter, as required for legal, tax, or audit compliance. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it in accordance with our internal data lifecycle management procedures.

Security Measures

The security of your personal information is a top priority at k499. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit, access controls restricting internal data access to authorised personnel only, regular security assessments, and secure server infrastructure.

Whilst we apply robust safeguards, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. We encourage all k499 members to use a strong, unique password for their account and to keep their login credentials confidential. If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected].

We recommend reviewing the privacy documentation of any third-party provider whose services you access through our platform.

Payment and Financial Data

k499 handles all payment and financial data with the highest level of care.

Financial records are retained in encrypted form and are accessible only to authorised members of our finance and compliance teams.

All monetary amounts on the k499 platform are displayed in Bangladeshi Taka (৳). Players are responsible for ensuring their chosen payment method is registered in their own name and that all deposit and withdrawal details are accurate at the time of transaction.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use device-level parental controls to prevent underage access to online gaming platforms.
