How sona101 Handles Your Data

These six principles summarise how sona101 approaches your personal data. The full details are in the policy sections below — these cards give you the short version before you read everything.

We Collect Only What We Need

sona101 collects personal data only to the extent necessary to operate your account, process payments, verify your identity, and provide customer support. We don't collect data for the sake of it — every piece of information we hold has a specific purpose.

Your Data Is Encrypted

All data transmitted between your device and sona101 is protected by SSL/TLS encryption. Sensitive information including payment details and identity documents is stored on secure servers with restricted access. sona101 applies industry-standard security practices across the platform.

We Don't Sell Your Data

sona101 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. Your information is shared only with the service providers who need it to operate the platform — payment processors, game providers, and identity verification services.

You Control Your Data

You have the right to access the personal data sona101 holds about you, request corrections, and in certain circumstances request deletion. sona101 will respond to data requests within a reasonable timeframe. Contact support to exercise any of your data rights.

Cookies Are Used Transparently

sona101 uses cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how the platform is being used so we can improve it. We don't use cookies to track you across other websites. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Data Is Not Kept Longer Than Necessary

sona101 retains your personal data only for as long as your account is active or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised. Retention periods vary by data type and are outlined in the policy below.

01

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how sona101 ("sona101", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal data of users ("you", "your") who access and use the sona101 platform at sona101.bid, including the sona101 mobile application and all associated services.

sona101 takes your privacy seriously. We understand that the personal information you share with us is sensitive, and we are committed to handling it responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with applicable data protection principles. This policy is written in plain language so you can understand exactly what happens to your data — no legal jargon where it can be avoided.

By registering an account on sona101 or continuing to use the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with how sona101 handles your data, please do not use the platform.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside the sona101 Terms and Conditions, which govern your use of the platform more broadly. Together, these two documents form the complete agreement between you and sona101 regarding your account and your data.

02

Data We Collect

sona101 collects personal data in two ways: information you provide directly when registering and using the platform, and information collected automatically as you interact with the platform.

Information you provide directly:

  • Registration data: Full name, date of birth, mobile number, email address, and username when you create a sona101 account.
  • Identity verification documents: National ID card, passport, or other government-issued identification when required for account verification or withdrawal processing.
  • Payment information: bKash or Nagad mobile wallet numbers, bank account details used for deposits and withdrawals. sona101 does not store full payment credentials — these are handled by our payment processing partners.
  • Support communications: Messages, emails, and chat transcripts when you contact sona101 customer support.
  • Responsible gaming information: Deposit limits, self-exclusion requests, and other responsible gaming preferences you set on your account.

Information collected automatically:

  • Device and technical data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, and screen resolution.
  • Usage data: Pages visited on sona101, games played, session duration, click patterns, and navigation paths through the platform.
  • Transaction data: Records of all deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and game outcomes associated with your account.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: Session cookies, preference cookies, and analytics data as described in Section 6.

Note: sona101 does not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or health information unless specifically required for responsible gaming purposes and with your explicit consent.

03

How We Use Your Data

sona101 uses the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes. We do not use your data for any purpose not listed here without first obtaining your consent.

Purpose Data Used
Creating and managing your sona101 account Name, email, mobile number, date of birth
Processing deposits and withdrawals Payment details, identity documents, transaction history
Verifying your identity (KYC) National ID, date of birth, name
Providing customer support Account data, support communications
Detecting and preventing fraud IP address, device data, transaction patterns
Complying with legal obligations Identity documents, transaction records

sona101 may send you promotional communications about bonuses, new games, and platform updates. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting support or using the unsubscribe option in any marketing email. Opting out of marketing does not affect transactional communications related to your account.

04

Legal Basis for Processing

sona101 processes your personal data on the following legal grounds, depending on the specific purpose:

  • Contract performance: Processing your registration data, payment information, and account activity is necessary to fulfil the contract between you and sona101 — that is, to provide you with the gaming services you have signed up for.
  • Legal obligation: sona101 is required to collect and retain certain data — including identity verification documents and transaction records — to comply with applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other legal requirements.
  • Legitimate interests: sona101 processes certain data — such as device information and usage patterns — based on our legitimate interest in maintaining platform security, detecting fraud, and improving the user experience. We only rely on this basis where our interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
  • Consent: Where sona101 processes data for purposes not covered by the above — such as sending marketing communications — we will obtain your explicit consent first. You can withdraw consent at any time.
05

Third-Party Sharing

sona101 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:

  • Payment processors: bKash, Nagad, and banking partners receive the payment information necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and are bound by contractual data protection obligations.
  • Game providers: Third-party game providers such as EVO receive limited technical data (such as a session token) necessary to deliver games through the sona101 platform. They do not receive your full personal profile.
  • Identity verification services: Where sona101 uses a third-party KYC provider to verify your identity documents, that provider will receive the documents you submit for verification purposes only.
  • Legal and regulatory authorities: sona101 may disclose personal data to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or other authorities where required by law or where we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, protect safety, or comply with a legal obligation.
  • Analytics providers: sona101 may use anonymised or aggregated usage data with analytics providers to understand platform performance. No personally identifiable information is shared for analytics purposes.

All third parties who receive personal data from sona101 are required to handle it in accordance with applicable data protection standards and are prohibited from using it for any purpose beyond what sona101 has authorised.

06

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

sona101 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform effectively and improve your experience. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. sona101 uses the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies: These are required for the platform to function. They keep you logged in during your session and maintain your account security. These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use sona101.
  • Preference cookies: These remember your settings and preferences — such as your preferred language or display settings — so you don't have to set them every time you visit.
  • Analytics cookies: These help sona101 understand how players use the platform — which pages are visited most, where users encounter issues, and how navigation flows work. This data is used in aggregate to improve the platform and is not linked to your personal identity.
  • Security cookies: These help sona101 detect and prevent fraudulent activity, including identifying unusual login patterns or suspicious account behaviour.

sona101 does not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels that follow you across other websites. You can manage cookie settings through your browser. Note that disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to log in and use the platform normally.

07

Data Security

sona101 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

  • SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and sona101 servers is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.
  • Secure data storage: Personal data is stored on servers with restricted access, protected by firewalls and access control systems. Only authorised personnel with a legitimate need can access personal data.
  • Password security: Account passwords are stored using one-way hashing. sona101 staff cannot see your password and will never ask you for it.
  • Fraud monitoring: sona101 operates continuous monitoring systems to detect unusual account activity, suspicious login attempts, and potential fraud patterns.
  • Regular security reviews: sona101 conducts periodic reviews of its security practices and updates them in response to emerging threats.

Your role in security: sona101's security measures are most effective when you also take steps to protect your account. Use a strong, unique password for your sona101 account, do not share your login credentials, and contact support immediately if you suspect your account has been compromised.

Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal data, sona101 will notify affected users and take immediate steps to contain and remediate the breach.

08

Data Retention

sona101 retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following general retention periods apply:

Data Type Retention Period
Account registration data Duration of account + 5 years after closure
Transaction and payment records 7 years (regulatory requirement)
Identity verification documents 5 years after account closure
Customer support communications 3 years after last interaction
Game history and betting records 5 years
Analytics and usage data 2 years (anonymised after 12 months)

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. If you request account closure, sona101 will begin the deletion process for data that is not subject to mandatory retention requirements.

09

Your Rights

You have the following rights in relation to the personal data sona101 holds about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact sona101 support at [email protected]. sona101 will respond to your request within 30 days.

Right of Access

Request a copy of the personal data sona101 holds about you, including what data we have, why we hold it, and who it has been shared with.

Right to Rectification

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 requirements.

Right to Restrict Processing

Request that sona101 limits how your data is used in certain circumstances — for example, while a dispute about accuracy is being resolved.

Right to Data Portability

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

Right to Object

Object to sona101 processing your data for direct marketing purposes or where processing is based on legitimate interests. Marketing opt-outs take effect immediately.

sona101 will not charge a fee for handling data rights requests in normal circumstances. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing a request to ensure we are responding to the correct person.

10

Children's Privacy

sona101 is strictly an adult platform. The minimum age to register and use sona101 is 18 years. sona101 does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18.

If sona101 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 18, that account will be immediately suspended, the data will be deleted, and any deposits will be returned to the original payment source. If you believe a minor has registered on sona101, please contact support at [email protected] immediately.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control tools to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. sona101 supports responsible gaming and takes underage access seriously.

11

Updates to This Policy

sona101 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or platform features. When material changes are made, sona101 will notify registered users via email or an in-platform notification.

The updated Privacy Policy will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of sona101 after the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed about how sona101 handles your personal data. Minor clarifications or corrections that do not materially affect your rights may be made without specific notification.
