This Privacy Policy explains how 98par collects, uses, stores and protects personal data in connection with your use of this Platform. We are committed to handling your information transparently, securely and in accordance with applicable data protection principles. Please read this document carefully.
98par ("we", "us", "our", "the Platform") operates the website accessible at https://98par.cam. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how we collect, use, store, disclose and protect personal information obtained from users ("you", "your", "User") who visit, register on or otherwise interact with the Platform.
98par is an English-language online betting and casino information platform designed for Pakistani users. We provide educational content about sports betting, live casino games, slot games, payment methods, account verification and responsible gambling. We are not a gambling operator — we do not accept deposits, process bets or hold user funds.
By accessing or using the 98par Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and consented to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. This Policy forms part of your overall agreement with 98par and should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions.
If you do not agree with any aspect of this Privacy Policy, please discontinue your use of the Platform immediately and do not submit any personal information to us.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following terms carry the meanings set out below:
98par collects only the minimum personal data necessary to operate the Platform and provide a functional, secure and relevant user experience. The categories of data we may collect include:
3.1 Data You Provide Directly
3.2 Data Collected Automatically
3.3 Data We Do Not Collect
98par does not collect payment card details, bank account numbers, mobile wallet credentials (such as Easypaisa or JazzCash account PINs), CNIC or passport numbers, or any financial transaction data. We are an information platform — not a gambling operator — and have no need for such data. If you are asked to provide such information on a third-party operator platform, that data is governed entirely by that operator's own privacy policy.
We process the personal data we collect for the following specific and legitimate purposes:
| Purpose | Data Used | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account creation and management | Name, email, username | Contractual necessity |
| Responding to support enquiries | Email address, message content | Legitimate interest / consent |
| Platform security and fraud prevention | IP address, session data | Legitimate interest |
| Platform analytics and improvement | Usage data, cookies | Legitimate interest / consent |
| Legal compliance and enforcement of Terms | Any relevant personal data | Legal obligation |
| Delivering localised content (PKR, Pakistani cities, relevant sports) | Location signals, preference data | Legitimate interest |
We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal effects or significantly affects you without your explicit prior consent.
98par processes personal data only where a legitimate legal basis exists. The primary legal bases we rely on are:
98par uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyse Platform usage and support legitimate Platform operations. The types of cookies we use include:
Managing Cookies: You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may impair the functionality of the Platform. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your browser.
We do not use cookies to track your activity on third-party gambling operator platforms. Any cookies placed by operator platforms you visit independently are governed by those platforms' own privacy and cookie policies.
We do not sell your personal data to any third party. We may share personal data in the following limited and controlled circumstances:
7.1 Service Providers and Data Processors. We may share data with trusted technical service providers — such as hosting providers, analytics platforms and email delivery services — who process data on our behalf under contractual data processing agreements. These processors are not permitted to use your data for any purpose other than providing the contracted service to 98par.
7.2 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure. We may disclose personal data where required to do so by applicable law, court order, regulatory authority or other legal process. We will notify you of any such disclosure where legally permissible to do so.
7.3 Business Transfers. In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets involving 98par, personal data held by the Platform may form part of the transferred assets. Users will be notified via a prominent notice on the Platform prior to such a transfer and any change in privacy practices.
7.4 Protection of Rights. We may disclose data where we reasonably believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent or take action regarding suspected illegal activity, fraud, situations involving potential threats to safety, or violations of our Terms & Conditions.
98par retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our general retention approach is as follows:
When personal data is no longer required, it is securely deleted, anonymised or rendered irreversibly inaccessible using technically appropriate methods.
98par takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure. These measures include:
While we implement industry-standard security practices, no method of data transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data and you accept this inherent risk by using the Platform.
Do not send sensitive personal documents — including CNIC copies, passport scans or financial account credentials — via email to [email protected] or through any unsecured channel. For identity verification required by a gambling operator, use only that operator's official, secure HTTPS in-account verification portal.
Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by 98par. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected] with sufficient detail to identify your account and the nature of your request.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how it is being processed.
You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you without undue delay.
In certain circumstances, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data — commonly known as the "right to be forgotten" — where continued processing is no longer justified.
You may request that we temporarily suspend processing of your data in specific circumstances — for example while the accuracy of data is being contested.
Where technically feasible and legally applicable, you may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
You may object to processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis, including for direct marketing or profiling purposes.
Where we process your data on the basis of consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
We will respond to all legitimate rights requests within a reasonable timeframe. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to protect against unauthorised access to other users' data.
The 98par Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 and above, or the higher minimum age required by the operator's licensing jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a minor has provided personal data to 98par without your consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. Upon verification, we will take prompt steps to delete any such data from our records.
We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children's online activity and to make use of available parental controls on devices and internet services. 98par contains content related to online gambling which is not suitable for minors.
98par's primary audience is located in Pakistan. The following contextual points apply to Pakistani users specifically:
12.1 No Regulatory Endorsement. This Privacy Policy does not imply that 98par is regulated, approved or certified by any Pakistani data protection authority, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the State Bank of Pakistan or any provincial body. Pakistan is developing its data protection legislative framework and applicable law may evolve. Users are responsible for understanding their rights under applicable Pakistani law.
12.2 Cross-Border Data Transfers. 98par may use service providers whose servers are located outside Pakistan. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in countries whose data protection laws may differ from those applicable in Pakistan. We take contractual and technical steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for any such transfers.
12.3 Local Payment Context. References to Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah on this Platform are used solely for contextual familiarity. We do not share your personal data with these institutions, and none of them are data processors or partners of 98par.
98par reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent version. Changes take effect immediately upon publication on the Platform.
We will notify users of material changes — particularly those affecting data processing purposes, retention periods or user rights — via a prominent notice on the Platform homepage for a reasonable period following publication. For significant changes affecting your rights, we may also contact registered users directly by email.
Your continued use of the Platform following any amendment constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the revised terms, you must discontinue use of the Platform and contact us to request deletion of your personal data.
If you have any questions, concerns or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or to the personal data we hold about you, please contact our support team. We take all privacy-related enquiries seriously and will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
98par Privacy & Support
Email: [email protected]
Please include your registered email address and a clear description of your request. Identity verification may be required before we can process access, correction or deletion requests. Do not send identity documents such as CNIC or passport scans via email — these should be submitted only through a secure in-account operator portal where required by an operator for KYC purposes.
A plain-English summary of the most important principles in the 98par Privacy Policy.

All data transmitted between your browser and 98par is encrypted via HTTPS. Stored data is protected with access controls and secure deletion protocols when no longer required.
We collect only what we genuinely need to operate the Platform. We do not collect payment credentials, CNIC numbers or any financial account information — that belongs with the operator's own secure systems.

You can manage, restrict or delete cookies via your browser settings at any time. We use cookies only for legitimate Platform functionality, analytics and preference storage — never to track you across third-party gambling sites.
