At b9998, your privacy is a genuine commitment — not a checkbox exercise. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and what rights you have over your information as a user of our platform.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by b9998 ("b9998", "we", "us", "our") and applies to all personal data processed in connection with your use of the online gaming information platform accessible at b9998.cam ("Platform"), including all associated pages, features, and services.
b9998 is an English-language online gaming information platform serving the Pakistani market. We provide guidance, educational content, and information concerning online casino games, sports betting, responsible gambling practices, and platform features. b9998 does not operate a gambling business, does not hold a gambling license issued by any Pakistani authority, and does not claim affiliation with any Pakistani financial institution or payment provider.
We are committed to processing your personal data in a manner that is transparent, lawful, and proportionate to the purposes described in this Policy. By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. Where your continued use of the Platform constitutes consent to any specific processing activity, this is identified explicitly in the relevant section below.
The following definitions apply throughout this Privacy Policy:
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, b9998 acts as the Data Controller in respect of personal data collected and processed through the Platform. As Data Controller, b9998 is responsible for ensuring that your personal data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection principles and the terms of this Policy.
If you have any questions regarding how b9998 processes your personal data, or if you wish to exercise any of your rights as a Data Subject, please contact us using the details provided in Section 15 (Contact Us) of this Policy.

b9998 does not intentionally collect special category personal data (including data relating to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health, biometric data, or sexual orientation). If you provide any such data voluntarily through a support communication, we will handle it with heightened care and will not use it for any purpose beyond responding to your specific query.
We process your personal data only for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes. The table below sets out each processing purpose and the legal basis on which we rely.
| Purpose | Data Categories Used | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Operating and maintaining the Platform | Technical data, usage data | Legitimate interests (platform operation) |
| Account registration and management | Identity data, contact data | Performance of contract / legitimate interests |

| Security monitoring and fraud prevention | Technical data, usage data, identity data | Legitimate interests (security) / legal obligation |
| Compliance with legal obligations | All categories as required | Legal obligation |
| Sending service communications | Contact data | Legitimate interests / consent (where required) |
Where our processing is based on legitimate interests, we have assessed that those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests — see Section 11 (Your Rights) for details.
We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our general retention principles are as follows:
At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you. Where we are required by law to retain data for a longer period, we will do so in compliance with the applicable legal obligation.
b9998 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We may share your personal data in the following limited circumstances:
We may engage trusted third-party service providers to assist in operating the Platform — for example, hosting providers, analytics services, and email delivery services. These providers are permitted to process your personal data only in accordance with our instructions and are bound by appropriate contractual data protection obligations. They are not permitted to use your personal data for their own independent purposes.
We may disclose your personal data where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or at the request of a competent regulatory authority. We will, where legally permissible, notify you of such a requirement prior to disclosure.
In the event that b9998 undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of its assets, personal data held by b9998 may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction, subject to equivalent data protection safeguards.
b9998 references familiar Pakistani payment methods — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and Bank Alfalah — for contextual informational purposes only. b9998 does not share any user data with these payment providers, and their names do not imply any data-sharing arrangement, endorsement of gambling, or affiliation with b9998.
The Platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your user experience, understand how the Platform is used, and maintain platform security. This section explains the types of cookies we use and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Essential for the Platform to function — session management, security tokens, CSRF protection | Session / up to 24 hours |
| Functional | Remember your preferences (language, display settings) to improve your experience | Up to 12 months |

You may control cookie placement through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair the functionality of the Platform. Instructions for managing cookies are typically available in your browser's help or settings menu.
b9998 does not use third-party advertising or behavioural targeting cookies. Analytics data collected through cookies is processed in anonymised or aggregated form wherever technically feasible.
b9998 implements a range of technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security measures include, but are not limited to:
The Platform may be hosted on infrastructure located in jurisdictions outside of Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred to a country that does not provide a level of data protection equivalent to that in your home jurisdiction, b9998 implements appropriate safeguards to protect your data, which may include:
By using the Platform, you acknowledge that your personal data may be processed in jurisdictions outside Pakistan. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that international transfers are conducted with appropriate protections in place.
Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data processed by b9998. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 15.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how it is processed.
You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
In certain circumstances, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data, subject to applicable legal retention obligations.
You may request that we restrict our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while a rectification request is pending.
Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. We will cease such processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
The Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or above, or the higher minimum age required by the relevant Operator's license jurisdiction. b9998 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the applicable minimum age.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided personal data to b9998 without your consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. Upon verified notification, we will take prompt steps to delete the relevant personal data and, where applicable, close any associated account.
The Platform may contain references to, or information about, third-party Operators (online gambling service providers), payment methods, and sports competitions. These references are provided for informational and contextual purposes only.
b9998 does not control the websites, platforms, or data practices of any third party. If you choose to access a third-party Operator's platform, that platform will be governed by its own privacy policy, and b9998 is not responsible for the data processing practices of any such third party.
References to Pakistani payment services — such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and Bank Alfalah — are made for contextual familiarity only and do not involve any data-sharing arrangement between b9998 and those payment providers. These payment provider names do not imply endorsement of gambling or any affiliation with b9998.
b9998 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Revised versions will be posted to this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Where changes are material — meaning they significantly affect how we process your personal data or the rights available to you — we will take reasonable steps to notify registered users, such as by sending a notification to the email address associated with their account.
Your continued use of the Platform following the posting of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the changes. If you do not agree to any revised Privacy Policy, you must cease using the Platform and may request deletion of your personal data in accordance with Section 11 of this Policy.
We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how b9998 protects your personal information.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy, or if you wish to exercise any of your data protection rights as described in Section 11, please contact b9998 using the following details:

These six principles guide every data processing decision we make at b9998 — because your trust depends on more than a policy document.
We collect only the personal data we genuinely need to operate the Platform. Every data field we request has a specific, documented purpose — and nothing more. If we don't need it, we don't collect it.
All data in transit between your device and b9998 is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. The HTTPS padlock in your browser is your confirmation that your session is secure at all times.
Your personal data is never sold, rented, or traded. We do not share user data with advertisers, data brokers, or marketing networks. Our business model does not depend on monetising your personal information.
Access, rectification, erasure, portability, and objection — your data rights are genuine entitlements at b9998, not theoretical clauses. Submit a request to [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days.
We don't hold your data indefinitely. Each data category has a defined retention period, after which personal data is securely deleted or anonymised. We apply the same standards to all data regardless of source.
This policy is written in plain English — not deliberately opaque legal language. We want you to understand exactly what happens to your data, so you can make an informed decision about using b9998.
