Privacy Policy – How 98prk Protects Your Data in Pakistan

This Privacy Policy applies to all individuals who visit, register with, or use the 98prk platform available at 98prk.ws ("the Platform"). It covers the collection and handling of personal data in connection with all services offered by 98prk, including sports betting, live casino and card games, virtual sports, jackpot slots, and all related support, promotional, and transactional services.

By registering an account or using the 98prk platform, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described here. This Privacy Policy should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming page, both of which form part of your agreement with 98prk.

We take our obligations as a data controller seriously. The information you share with 98prk – your name, contact details, financial information, and betting history – is treated with the same level of care we would want for our own data. Our default position is to collect only what is genuinely needed, retain it only for as long as required, and protect it at every stage of its lifecycle.

98prk collects personal data through several channels: information you provide directly when registering or using the platform, information generated automatically through your use of the platform, and in limited cases, information obtained from third parties for identity or fraud-prevention purposes. Below is a clear breakdown of each category.

98prk does not collect special category data such as biometric data, health information, or political opinions. We do not collect data from third-party social media platforms unless you explicitly choose to share it with us.

98prk uses personal data for specific, defined purposes. We do not use your data in ways that are incompatible with the purpose for which it was originally collected without obtaining fresh consent. The primary uses of your data on 98prk are:

• Account Management: To create, verify, and manage your 98prk account, including processing registration, identity verification, and account-related communications.
• Transaction Processing: To process PKR deposits and withdrawals through your chosen payment method (Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, IBFT, or Visa/Mastercard), including confirming transactions and investigating payment issues.
• Platform Delivery: To provide access to sports betting, card games, virtual sports, jackpot slots, and all other 98prk features in a functional and personalised way.
• Customer Support: To respond to your enquiries, resolve disputes, handle complaints, and provide assistance across all 98prk services.
• Fraud Prevention & Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, account abuse, and other illegal or policy-violating behaviour on 98prk.
• Legal Compliance: To meet our obligations under applicable laws and regulations including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes.
• Responsible Gaming: To monitor betting patterns for signs of problematic gambling behaviour and to enforce any self-imposed limits or exclusions requested by the member.
• Platform Improvement: To analyse anonymised usage data and identify opportunities to improve the 98prk experience for Pakistani members.
• Marketing Communications: To send promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform news to members who have opted in to receive such communications. This is always optional and can be withdrawn at any time.

98prk does not use automated decision-making or profiling in ways that produce legally significant effects for members, except in cases of fraud detection where automated systems may flag an account for human review.

Every data processing activity at 98prk is carried out on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing required to fulfil our contract with you as a 98prk member, including account management, transaction processing, and platform delivery. Without this processing, we cannot provide the services you have registered for.
• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws and regulatory requirements, including AML regulations, KYC obligations, and financial record-keeping requirements.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing carried out for 98prk's legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement, provided those interests do not override your fundamental privacy rights.
• Consent: Processing for which you have given explicit consent, specifically for optional marketing communications. Consent can be withdrawn at any time without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal.

98prk does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any external party for commercial gain. Period. When data sharing does occur, it is limited to what is necessary and restricted to trusted categories of recipients:

• Payment Service Providers: Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, bank IBFT networks, and Visa/Mastercard payment processors receive the minimum data necessary to process your PKR transactions. They operate under their own privacy policies and data security obligations.
• Identity Verification Partners: When KYC verification is required, 98prk may use a third-party verification service to authenticate identity documents. These services process your data strictly for verification purposes and under contractual data protection obligations.
• Fraud Prevention Services: 98prk uses industry-standard fraud detection tools that may process technical and transactional data to identify suspicious patterns. No personal data is shared beyond what is required for this purpose.
• Legal and Regulatory Authorities: Where required by law, court order, or regulatory obligation, 98prk may disclose personal data to law enforcement or regulatory bodies. We will notify you of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.
• Platform Technology Partners: Technology service providers who support the operation of the 98prk platform (such as cloud hosting and analytics) may process data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements.

All third-party recipients of 98prk member data are required to handle that data in compliance with applicable data protection obligations and are contractually prohibited from using it for any purpose beyond the specific service they are providing to 98prk.

98prk retains personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose it was collected and to meet any applicable legal retention requirements. The following general retention periods apply:

• Active account data – retained for the duration of your membership on 98prk and for a period after account closure as required by law or legitimate business need.
• Financial transaction records – retained for a minimum of five years following the transaction date to comply with financial record-keeping and AML regulations.
• KYC and identity documents – retained for a minimum of five years following account closure or the completion of the verification process, in line with regulatory requirements.
• Support communications – retained for two years after the matter is resolved, for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
• Marketing preference data – retained until you update your preferences or request deletion.
• Technical log data – retained for up to 12 months for security and fraud detection purposes.

When personal data is no longer required, 98prk deletes or anonymises it securely. Anonymised data – from which individual identity cannot be derived – may be retained indefinitely for aggregate analytics and platform improvement purposes.

Protecting the personal and financial data of 98prk members is a technical and organisational priority. We implement multiple layers of security to guard against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your data.

• TLS/SSL Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser or app and the 98prk platform is encrypted using TLS 1.3, the current industry standard for secure web communications.
• Data Encryption at Rest: Sensitive data stored on 98prk servers is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption algorithms.
• Access Controls: Access to member data within 98prk's systems is restricted to staff with a legitimate operational need. All access is logged and audited.
• Two-Factor Authentication: 98prk supports and encourages the use of OTP-based two-factor authentication for member account logins, adding an additional layer of protection beyond your password.
• Payment Security: 98prk uses PCI-DSS compliant payment processing environments. Full card details are never stored on 98prk servers.
• Regular Security Reviews: Our platform undergoes regular security assessments and penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

While 98prk takes all reasonable precautions, no online system can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. You also play a role in keeping your account secure – use a strong unique password, do not share your credentials, and contact 98prk support immediately if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.

98prk uses cookies and similar technologies on its platform to make the site work correctly, remember your preferences, and improve the overall experience. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Here is how cookies are used on 98prk:

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies will prevent the 98prk platform from functioning correctly. For non-essential cookies, you can opt out via your browser settings without affecting your core platform experience. Clearing cookies will log you out of your current 98prk session.

98prk does not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels that allow external advertisers to build profiles about your browsing behaviour across the internet.

As a 98prk member, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. These rights are genuine – not just statements on a page – and can be exercised by contacting our support team at support@98prk.ws:

To exercise any of these rights, email support@98prk.ws with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request" and a description of what you are requesting. We will acknowledge your request within 24 hours and provide a full response within 30 days. In complex cases, we may extend this by a further 60 days with notice to you.

We may need to verify your identity before processing a privacy rights request to prevent unauthorised disclosure of your data to a third party claiming to act on your behalf.

The 98prk platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. If we discover or are notified that a registered account belongs to a person under 18, we will immediately close the account, delete any associated personal data that is not required for legal record-keeping, and return any unbet deposits at our discretion.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered on 98prk, please contact us immediately at support@98prk.ws with full details. We treat all such reports with the utmost urgency.

98prk's primary operations and data storage are focused on serving Pakistani members. In certain cases, technical service providers or platform partners may process data outside Pakistan. When this occurs, 98prk ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to what you would receive if it remained in Pakistan.

These safeguards may include contractual data protection clauses, verification that the recipient country provides adequate data protection standards, or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms. 98prk does not permit international data transfers for the purpose of marketing or commercial data trading.

If you have specific concerns about international processing of your data, contact our support team and we will provide details of any relevant transfer arrangements applicable to your data.

98prk may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, new platform features, or updates to applicable laws. When material changes are made, we will notify registered members through one or more of the following channels: a notice displayed when you next log in, an email to your registered address, or a prominent update notice on the 98prk website.

The effective date at the top of this Privacy Policy indicates when the current version came into force. We recommend reviewing the Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed. The most current version is always available at 98prk.ws/privacy-policy.

Your continued use of 98prk after the effective date of any material change constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree with changes to the Privacy Policy, you may close your account by contacting our support team.
