At 178bet, your privacy is not merely a legal obligation — it is a trust we take seriously. This document transparently explains how we collect, use, store, and protect the personal information of every player who joins our platform.
We don't just talk about data security — we enforce it every day through concrete technical measures and policies.
All data transmitted between your device and 178bet servers is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. This means sensitive information such as your bank details and password cannot be read by any third party, even if the data is intercepted during transmission.
Your personal data is stored on servers protected by strict access controls. Only authorised 178bet staff may access this information, and every access is recorded in an audit log that is regularly monitored.
Your 178bet account is protected with two-factor authentication options. Every login from a new device triggers an additional security check, ensuring only you can access your account even if your password is compromised.
178bet has never and will never sell, rent, or transfer your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes. Your data is used solely for platform operations and legally mandated compliance.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold, correct inaccurate information, or request deletion of certain data. These requests can be submitted to our support team and will be processed within 14 working days.
In the event of a security incident involving your personal data, 178bet will notify you within 72 hours of the incident being identified. We will explain the cause and the steps taken to address it.
