The categories of personal data we collect include:
Where you choose not to provide personal data that is required for a specific purpose (for example, identity verification documents required for KYC compliance), we may be unable to provide the relevant service, including processing withdrawal requests.
3. How We Use Your Personal Data

Where you have given your express consent, son101 may use your contact data and gaming data to send you personalised promotional offers, bonus notifications, and news about new games or sporting events relevant to your interests (such as Bangladesh Premier League cricket fixtures or upcoming volleyball tournaments).

Responsible Gaming Monitoring
son101 uses gaming data and account data to monitor for signs of problem gambling behaviour, enforce the responsible gaming tools you have activated (such as deposit limits, session limits, and self-exclusion), and proactively reach out to players who may be exhibiting indicators of gambling harm. This processing is carried out in the legitimate interest of player welfare and in fulfilment of our duty of care obligations.
Customer Support
We use your contact data, account data, and communications records to respond to your queries, resolve disputes, investigate complaints, and improve the quality of our customer support services. Support interactions are recorded and retained for a reasonable period for quality assurance, training, and regulatory compliance purposes.

Our security measures include, but are not limited to:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the son101 Platform is encrypted using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, ensuring that your personal and financial information cannot be intercepted in transit.
- Encrypted Data Storage: Sensitive data — including passwords, payment information, and identity documents — is stored in encrypted form using strong cryptographic algorithms. Passwords are hashed and salted and are never stored in plaintext.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within son101's systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. All staff with access to personal data are subject to confidentiality obligations and receive regular data protection training.

While son101 implements robust security measures, no system can guarantee absolute security. You play an important role in protecting your account by choosing a strong, unique password, enabling two-factor authentication, and never sharing your login credentials with anyone.
