What Information is Collected

At registration, we collect your name, email address, mobile number, and date of birth. National ID or passport information may be requested for identity verification. Transaction details are securely recorded during payment processing. Your device type, browser information, and IP address are automatically logged while using the platform. We only collect information that is necessary to operate the platform and improve your experience.

How Your Information is Used

Your information is primarily used for account management, payment processing, and customer service. Data is analyzed for KYC verification and fraud prevention. Your information may be used to send you relevant offers and updates based on your preferences, though you can opt out at any time. Data is also analyzed to ensure platform security and detect unusual activity. We never sell your information to advertisers or third parties.

Information may be disclosed to relevant authorities in cases of legal obligations or government directives. All third-party partners are contractually bound to comply with be 17's privacy standards. We never share your complete profile or financial information with any unauthorized party. You will be notified in advance of any changes to data sharing practices.

Data Protection Methods

All your personal and financial information is protected using SSL encryption technology. Our servers undergo regular security audits and firewalls are used to prevent unauthorized access.

Detailed Privacy Policy

Be 17 collects user information only for legitimate purposes — including account creation and management, payment processing, customer service, and ensuring platform security. Your consent is obtained before data is collected, and you may withdraw that consent at any time. We follow a "data minimization" principle — meaning no information beyond what is necessary is collected. Collected data is not used beyond its specified purpose, and unnecessary data is deleted once that purpose has been fulfilled. All data processing is conducted in compliance with applicable data protection laws and regulations in Bangladesh.

Data for active accounts is retained for as long as the account remains open. After an account is closed, certain information may be kept for up to 5 years as required by legal obligations. Transaction records are retained in accordance with the guidelines of financial regulatory bodies. Security logs are generally deleted automatically after 90 days. Upon expiry, data is permanently deleted using secure methods to ensure it cannot be recovered.

The be 17 platform is strictly for users aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect information from minors, and minors are not permitted to create accounts. Age verification is in place at registration, and additional verification may be requested in suspicious cases. If a minor's information is accidentally collected, it will be deleted as soon as we become aware and the associated account will be closed. Parents or guardians may contact our support team to raise any concerns regarding a child's information.

Be 17 reserves the right to update this privacy policy as needed. Users will be notified in advance of significant changes via email or through the platform. Continued use of the platform after changes have been made will be considered acceptance of the updated policy. The date of each update will be noted at the top of the page. We recommend that users visit this page regularly to stay informed about the latest policy.
