Cookies and Tracking Technologies
21huat uses cookies and similar technologies to operate core platform functionality, remember account preferences, analyse aggregate usage, and support security checks. The principal categories are:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for login sessions, security tokens, responsible gambling limit enforcement, and essential platform operations. These cannot be disabled without breaking core functions.
- Performance and analytics cookies: Collect aggregated data on page load times, navigation paths, device types, and feature usage to guide platform improvements.
- Functionality cookies: Store non-sensitive preferences such as display language and notification settings to provide a more consistent experience across sessions.
Most browsers allow you to control cookie storage and retrieval. Disabling all cookies may affect your ability to log in, access account features, or use payment functions. 21huat does not use cookies to build advertising profiles for external networks.

Retention and Deletion
21huat retains personal data for as long as it is required for the purposes described in this policy or as required by applicable law. In practice, this means:
- Active account data is retained for the duration of the account relationship plus any legally prescribed period thereafter.
- Transaction and wagering records are retained for the period required for financial, audit, and compliance purposes, which is typically a minimum of five to seven years from the date of the transaction.
- Identity verification documents are retained for the period required by applicable due-diligence and record-keeping obligations.
- Support communications are retained for quality monitoring, complaint resolution, and dispute evidence purposes.
- Anonymised or aggregated analytics data, which cannot be used to identify a person, may be retained indefinitely.
When personal data is no longer required, 21huat will delete or irreversibly anonymise it using appropriate technical methods, subject to any overriding legal obligation to preserve specific records.
9
Security Measures
21huat applies layered technical and operational controls to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and loss:
- Encrypted data transmission using industry-standard TLS protocols between your device and 21huat systems.
- Access controls that restrict internal access to personal data on a role-based, need-to-know basis.
- Account protection features including session expiry, login monitoring, and verification checks for sensitive account changes.
- Vendor management processes that assess the data-protection practices of key third-party service providers.
- Incident response procedures for identifying, containing, and notifying relevant parties if a data security event occurs.
No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. You contribute to account security by choosing a strong, unique password, not sharing credentials, using trusted devices, and reporting suspicious activity to 21huat support promptly. Support contact details are on the 21huat website in plain text; telephone and email links are not available on this page.
Never share your 21huat password, one-time code, or login session with any other person, including anyone claiming to represent 21huat support. Genuine agents will never ask for your password.
