This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data 98pka collects from Pakistani users, how we use it, how we protect it, and what rights you have over it. Your privacy is treated as a fundamental obligation — not a box to tick.
98pka ("the Platform", "we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every individual who registers an account, uses our services or visits our website at https://98pka.cam. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") sets out in clear, formal terms what personal data we collect, on what legal basis we process it, how long we retain it, with whom we share it, and what rights you have as a data subject.
This Policy applies to all users of the Platform, including visitors who browse without registering and registered account holders who use our gambling services. It should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions, which govern the contractual relationship between you and 98pka.
By registering an account or continuing to use the Platform after this Policy has been published or updated, you acknowledge that you have read and understood its contents. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you must discontinue use of the Platform and, if registered, contact us to request account closure.
Pakistani Users — Please Note: This Policy does not constitute legal advice. Data protection laws applicable to Pakistani users may include the Personal Data Protection Bill and other relevant legislation. We recommend consulting a qualified legal professional for advice specific to your circumstances.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following terms carry the meanings set out below:
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| "Personal Data" | Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person — including name, email address, device identifiers, IP address and financial details. |
| "Processing" | Any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, storage, use, disclosure, transfer or deletion. |
| "Data Subject" | The natural person to whom Personal Data relates — in this context, you, the user or visitor. |
| "Data Controller" | 98pka, the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing your Personal Data. |
| "Data Processor" | A third party that processes Personal Data on behalf of 98pka under a contractual obligation and our instructions. |
| "Cookies" | Small text files placed on your device by the Platform to facilitate functionality, analytics and personalisation. |
| "KYC" | Know Your Customer — the identity, age and source-of-funds verification process required under our operating obligations. |
| "Services" | All gambling, information and related services made available through the 98pka Platform. |
We collect only the Personal Data that is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. The categories of data we may hold about you are set out below:
We do not collect special category data (such as health, religious or political data) and we do not purchase Personal Data from third-party data brokers. We collect the minimum data necessary to operate a safe, compliant and functional platform.
Personal Data is collected through the following channels:
When you register an account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact our support team, respond to a survey or interact with any form on the Platform, you provide data directly to us. All such data is collected with your active participation.
When you browse or use the Platform, we automatically collect technical and usage data through server logs, cookies and similar technologies. This includes your IP address, device information and behavioural analytics that help us maintain platform security and improve the user experience for Pakistani players.
We may receive Personal Data from identity verification providers engaged to support our KYC process, fraud detection and anti-money-laundering (AML) screening services, and payment processors that confirm transaction status. Any third party sharing data with us does so under contractual obligations consistent with this Policy.
We process your Personal Data only for specific, legitimate purposes. The table below maps each processing activity to its purpose:
| Processing Activity | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Account registration | To create and manage your 98pka account and verify your identity and age eligibility. |
| KYC verification | To comply with anti-money-laundering obligations and confirm that users are adults aged 18 or above (or the higher minimum required by the licence jurisdiction). |
| Payment processing | To facilitate deposits and withdrawals in PKR and to maintain accurate financial records. |
| Bet and game records | To settle wagers accurately, manage bonus and promotion entitlements and resolve disputes. |
| Fraud and AML screening | To detect and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering and other prohibited conduct. |
| Responsible gambling | To enforce player-set limits, honour self-exclusion requests and monitor for indicators of problem gambling. |
| Customer support | To respond to your enquiries, complaints and support requests efficiently and accurately. |
| Platform analytics | To understand how Pakistani users interact with the Platform so we can improve functionality, navigation and content. |
| Marketing communications | To send you relevant promotions, offers and updates by email — only where you have given explicit consent or where permitted by applicable law. |
| Legal compliance | To comply with applicable laws, regulatory requests, court orders and licence conditions. |
We rely on the following legal bases when processing your Personal Data, depending on the specific activity:
Where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis, we carry out a balancing assessment to ensure that our interests do not outweigh your fundamental privacy rights. You may request details of that assessment by contacting us at [email protected].
98pka does not sell, rent or trade your Personal Data to third parties. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:
We engage carefully selected third-party service providers to support our operations. These include identity verification and KYC providers, payment processing partners, fraud detection and AML screening services, cloud hosting and infrastructure providers, and customer support platform operators. All such providers are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions and to maintain appropriate security standards.
We may disclose Personal Data to regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies or courts where we are required to do so by law, court order or in connection with our licence obligations. We will, where legally permissible, notify you of such a disclosure.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of all or part of 98pka's business assets, Personal Data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. Affected users will be notified in advance where practicable, and the acquiring entity will be required to honour this Privacy Policy or provide equivalent protections.
References to payment services familiar to Pakistani users — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — appear on 98pka as informational context only. These providers are not data processors for 98pka and do not receive user data from us through those references. Any data exchange that occurs when you initiate a transaction through your own payment provider is governed by that provider's privacy policy, not this one.
We do not share your Personal Data with advertisers, data brokers or other gambling operators for marketing purposes. If you receive unsolicited communications purporting to be from 98pka, please report them to [email protected] immediately.
We retain your Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, and to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements. Our general retention periods are as follows:
When data is no longer required and no legal obligation requires its retention, we securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to any individual.
Protecting your Personal Data is a core operational priority for 98pka. We implement a layered set of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration or disclosure. These measures include:
While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no system is entirely immune to risk. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your rights, we will notify you and any applicable regulatory authority in accordance with our obligations and within required timeframes.
You play an important role in keeping your account secure. Use a strong, unique password, do not share your login credentials, and notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect that your account has been accessed without your authorisation.
Subject to applicable law and the specific legal basis on which we process your data, you have the following rights in relation to your Personal Data held by 98pka:
Request a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you, along with information about how and why we process it.
Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data we hold about you without undue delay.
Request deletion of your Personal Data where it is no longer necessary, you have withdrawn consent, or processing is unlawful — subject to legal retention obligations.
Request that we restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances, such as while a rectification request is under review.
Receive your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format where processing is based on consent or contract.
Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease such processing unless compelling grounds override your objection.
To exercise any of the above rights, please submit a written request to [email protected] with sufficient detail to identify your account and the specific right you wish to exercise. We aim to respond within 30 days. Where a request is complex or numerous, we may extend this period by a further 60 days, informing you of the extension and the reason within the initial 30-day window.
We will not charge a fee for processing reasonable requests. However, we may charge a reasonable administrative fee or decline to act on requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to remember preferences or session state. Cookies do not execute code and cannot carry viruses.
You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through the cookie preference centre available on the Platform, or by adjusting your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect Platform functionality. Your preferences are respected on a per-device basis and may need to be reset if you clear your browser data.
98pka's services are strictly for adults. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from any individual under the age of 18, or under the higher minimum age required by the operator's licence jurisdiction. Age verification is a mandatory step in our registration and KYC process, and we use third-party verification tools to support this obligation.
If we become aware that Personal Data has been collected from a minor — whether through a false declaration of age or any other means — we will immediately suspend the relevant account, forfeit all balances in accordance with our Terms & Conditions, delete the minor's Personal Data as far as legally permissible, and retain only the records required by applicable law.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your care has registered an account on 98pka, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We take such reports with the utmost seriousness and will act promptly.
18+ Only — or higher where required. If you share a device with minors, please enable parental controls or keep your 98pka account credentials private and inaccessible to them. Local laws in Pakistan may impose additional age-related restrictions on gambling activity.
98pka operates internationally, and your Personal Data may be processed in countries outside Pakistan. Where data is transferred to a jurisdiction that does not have an equivalent standard of data protection to that applicable in your home jurisdiction, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that your Personal Data remains protected. Such safeguards may include contractual protections (standard contractual clauses), binding corporate rules, or transfers to jurisdictions that have been assessed as providing an adequate level of protection.
By using 98pka's services, you acknowledge that your Personal Data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, we take all reasonable steps to ensure that your rights are not diminished as a result.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing activities, legal obligations or operational practices. When we make a material change, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where practicable, notify registered users by email at the address associated with their account.
Your continued use of the Platform after a revised Policy has been published constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated terms. If you do not accept a revised Policy, you must cease using the Platform and contact us to arrange account closure. The English version of this Policy is the authoritative version and governs in all circumstances.
If you have any questions, concerns or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the way 98pka handles your Personal Data, please contact our Data Protection team using the details below. We treat all privacy-related correspondence with priority and aim to provide a substantive response within 30 days.
Data Protection Enquiries: [email protected]
Please include "Privacy Request" in your subject line, along with your registered username and a clear description of your enquiry or the right you wish to exercise. Support is available in English and Urdu. We serve users across Pakistan — Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar and beyond — and aim to respond to all privacy requests within the applicable timeframe.
A plain-English summary of how 98pka approaches data privacy — though the full sections above are the binding version of this Policy.
We collect only what is genuinely necessary to operate the Platform, verify your identity and process your transactions. We do not purchase data from brokers or collect sensitive personal categories without explicit reason.
All data in transit is protected by SSL/TLS encryption. Sensitive data at rest — including KYC documents and financial records — is encrypted. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plaintext form.
Your Personal Data is never sold, rented or shared with advertisers or data brokers. Third parties who process data on our behalf are bound by strict contractual obligations and are permitted to use it only as instructed.
You have the right to access, correct, delete or export your Personal Data at any time. Submit a request to [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days — no unnecessary friction, no unreasonable fees.
We do not hold your data indefinitely. Financial and KYC records are retained for five years to meet regulatory obligations. Other data categories are deleted or anonymised once they are no longer required.
We send promotional communications only with your consent. Every marketing email includes a clear, functional unsubscribe option. Withdrawing consent does not affect your ability to use the Platform or access your account.
Now that you understand how we handle your data, explore the full 98pka platform — built for Pakistani players with transparency, security and responsible gambling at its core.
Adults 18+ only, or the higher minimum required by the operator/license jurisdiction. Gambling involves financial risk. Local laws in Pakistan may restrict gambling. Please play responsibly.
