How We Collect Data

- From third-party service providers: Payment processors (such as bKash, Nagad, and Rocket) may share transaction confirmation data with tk917 to reconcile deposits and withdrawals. Identity verification partners may share the results of document authenticity checks. Game providers may share individual session outcomes for dispute resolution purposes.
tk917 does not purchase personal data from data brokers, marketing list providers, or any other third-party data vendors.
