• Marketing consent records: Retained for the duration of your account and for one (1) year following account closure or withdrawal of consent, whichever is later.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted from vip177 systems or irreversibly anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with any individual.

8. Data Security

vip177 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and vip177 servers.
• Encryption at rest for sensitive data categories including payment identifiers and identity document scans.
• Role-based access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis.
• Regular internal security assessments and vulnerability reviews of platform infrastructure.
• Secure password hashing — vip177 does not store account passwords in recoverable plain text.
• Automated monitoring for unusual login activity, including failed authentication attempts and access from unrecognised devices.

While vip177 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no internet-based platform can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials. If you suspect that your vip177 account has been compromised, contact [email protected] immediately.

9. Exercising Your Data Rights

To exercise any of the data rights described in this Policy — including access, rectification, erasure, portability, objection, or restriction — please submit a written request to [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request". Your request must include:

• Your registered vip177 username or account email address.
• A clear description of the right you wish to exercise and the specific data it relates to.
• A copy of a valid identity document to allow us to verify your identity before processing the request.

vip177 will acknowledge receipt of your request within 72 hours and will endeavour to provide a substantive response within thirty (30) calendar days. Where a request is particularly complex or where multiple rights are invoked simultaneously, this period may be extended by a further thirty (30) days, and we will notify you of any such extension.

Please note that certain rights are subject to limitations. For example, the right to erasure does not apply where vip177 is required by law to retain the relevant data, or where retention is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of a legal claim.

10. Marketing and Opt-Out

With your consent, vip177 may send you promotional communications including bonus offers, seasonal promotions tied to events such as Eid, Pohela Boishakh, BPL, or ICC tournaments, and platform news. You may withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time by contacting [email protected] with the subject line "Unsubscribe". Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing conducted prior to withdrawal.

Transactional communications — such as account verification emails, deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and security alerts — are not subject to marketing opt-out controls, as they are essential to the operation of your account.

11. Children and Minors

The vip177 platform is strictly prohibited for use by individuals under 21 years of age. vip177 does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person below this age threshold, we will immediately suspend the associated account, delete all personal data collected, and reverse any transactions where possible. If you believe that a minor has registered an account on vip177, please contact [email protected] without delay.
