Privacy Policy

p998 ("p998", "we", "us" or "our") operates the online gaming information platform accessible at https://p998.cam (the "Website"). p998 is an English-language information resource built specifically for users in Pakistan and other markets seeking clear, well-researched content on sports betting, live casino, responsible gambling and related topics.

We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. It covers the categories of data collected, the purposes for which it is used, how long it is retained, who it may be shared with and what rights you hold in relation to your data.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions, which govern your use of the Website generally.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following definitions apply:

p998 is the Data Controller in respect of Personal Data collected through the Website. As Data Controller, p998 is responsible for determining why and how your Personal Data is processed.

p998 does not operate a casino, sportsbook or any other gambling service. The Website is an information and educational resource only. As such, the personal data processed by p998 is limited to data necessary for operating an information website — it does not include financial transaction data, gaming account data or payment processing records.

For any data-related enquiries, please contact us using the details in Section 16 (Contact Us) below.

Depending on how you interact with the Website, we may collect and process the following categories of Personal Data:

We collect Personal Data through the following means:

• Direct interactions: When you contact us by email or through any contact mechanism available on the Website, you may provide us with your name, email address and the content of your communication.
• Automated technical collection: When you visit the Website, our servers and analytics tools automatically collect Technical Data and Usage Data as described above. This happens regardless of whether you actively submit any information.
• Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (including pixel tags and web beacons) to collect Cookie Data. See Section 8 (Cookies & Tracking) for further details.
• Third-party analytics providers: We use third-party analytics services that independently collect and process Usage Data and Technical Data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not control the data practices of such third parties beyond the scope of our contractual arrangements with them.

We process your Personal Data only where we have a valid legal basis to do so. The table below sets out the purposes for which we process Personal Data and the corresponding legal basis:

p998 does not sell your Personal Data to any third party. We do not share your Personal Data with gaming operators, payment processors or marketing agencies for commercial purposes. We may disclose Personal Data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We share data with carefully selected third-party service providers that assist us in operating the Website, including hosting providers, analytics platforms and content delivery networks. These providers are contractually bound to process data only on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions.
• Analytics partners: Anonymised or pseudonymised Usage Data and Technical Data may be processed by analytics service providers for the purpose of improving website performance. No directly identifying Personal Data is shared for analytics purposes unless required for fraud detection.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose Personal Data where required to do so by applicable law, court order, regulatory authority or other legal process. This includes disclosure to competent authorities in connection with lawful law enforcement requests.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of all or part of p998's assets, Personal Data may be transferred to the relevant acquiring or successor entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.
• Protection of rights: We may disclose data where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of p998, our users or the public.

p998 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance the user experience, understand how the Website is used and support the operation of the platform. The following categories of cookies may be in use:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the basic functioning of the Website, including navigation, session management and security. These cannot be disabled without affecting Website functionality.
• Analytics Cookies: Used to collect anonymised information about how visitors use the Website — including pages viewed, time on site and navigation paths — to help us improve content and performance. These are placed subject to your consent where required by law.
• Functional Cookies: Used to remember your preferences, such as language settings and display preferences, to provide a more personalised experience.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through your browser settings. You may delete existing cookies, block new cookies or set your browser to notify you before accepting cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website.

We retain Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following general retention principles apply:

• Technical and Usage Data: Retained for a period of up to 26 months from the date of collection, after which it is aggregated, anonymised or deleted.
• Communication Data: Retained for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of follow-up queries. Communications may be retained for up to 3 years in connection with legal compliance obligations.
• Cookie Data: Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire in accordance with the cookie's individual retention period, typically between 30 days and 24 months.
• Legal compliance data: Where we are required by applicable law to retain specific records, we will retain such data for the minimum period required by that law.

When Personal Data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, anonymised or aggregated in a manner that prevents identification of individual users.

p998 implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Personal Data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure. These measures include:

• Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS) encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers;
• Access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel only, on a need-to-know basis;
• Regular security assessments and monitoring of the Website infrastructure;
• Contractual data processing obligations imposed on all third-party service providers with access to user data; and
• Incident response procedures to detect, investigate and notify affected parties in the event of a data breach as required by applicable law.

Notwithstanding the above, no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we take the protection of your data seriously, we cannot provide an absolute guarantee of security. We encourage all users to use strong passwords for any accounts they hold with third-party operators and to avoid sharing sensitive personal information over unsecured channels.

Depending on the data protection laws applicable in your jurisdiction, you may hold one or more of the following rights in relation to your Personal Data:

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to all valid requests within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law. We may require identity verification before processing certain requests to protect against unauthorised access.

The Website is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or older — or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator or license jurisdiction. p998 does not knowingly collect, process or store Personal Data from any person under the age of 18.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected Personal Data from a person under the age of 18, we will take immediate steps to delete such data from our records. If you believe that we may have collected data from or about a minor, please contact us at [email protected] without delay.

p998 may transfer Personal Data to, or process it in, countries other than Pakistan. This may occur where our hosting providers, analytics partners or other service providers are located in different jurisdictions.

Where Personal Data is transferred to a jurisdiction that does not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction, we will implement appropriate safeguards to protect such data. These safeguards may include standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements or other mechanisms recognised under applicable data protection law.

By using the Website, you acknowledge and consent to the possibility of your Personal Data being processed in jurisdictions outside Pakistan, subject to the protections described in this Privacy Policy.

p998 is not responsible for the privacy practices, data processing activities or content of any third-party website, platform or service referenced or described on this Website. We strongly recommend that you review the privacy policy of any third-party platform before providing any personal information to it.

The inclusion of any reference to a third party on this Website does not constitute an endorsement of that third party's privacy practices or data handling standards.

p998 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law or operational requirements. When material changes are made, the "Last Updated" date displayed at the top of this page will be revised.
