Your privacy is a fundamental obligation, not a legal formality. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data 88hz collects, how it is used, who it is shared with and the rights you hold over it — written in clear English for our Pakistani users.
A plain-English overview of the key data principles behind 88hz. These cards are a summary only — please read the full policy below for complete detail.
Registration details, identity verification documents (CNIC/passport), usage data, device/browser information and communications you initiate with our support team. We collect only what is necessary.
To operate and secure your account, process transactions, comply with KYC and AML obligations, personalise your experience and communicate relevant platform updates or responsible-gambling information.
Only with licensed Operators, regulated payment processors and legally required third parties (e.g., fraud prevention, AML compliance). We never sell your personal data to advertisers or data brokers.
SSL/TLS encryption on all connections, role-based access controls, regular security reviews and strict data minimisation — only authorised personnel can access personal information, only when operationally necessary.
Account data is retained for as long as your account is active plus any mandatory regulatory retention period. Data no longer required is securely deleted or anonymised in line with our retention schedule.
You have the right to access, correct, delete and port your personal data, to object to certain processing and to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. Contact us to exercise any right.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by 88hz ("88hz", "we", "us", "our"), the operator of the website accessible at https://88hz.cam (the "Platform"). It describes how 88hz collects, processes, stores, shares and protects the personal data of individuals ("Users", "you", "your") who access or use the Platform.
88hz is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all Users, including those accessing the Platform from Pakistan and other jurisdictions. This Policy is written in plain, accessible English and is intended to be read in full before you use the Platform or provide us with any personal information.
By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree to this Policy, you must discontinue use of the Platform immediately.
This Policy applies alongside the 88hz Terms & Conditions and the Responsible Gambling policy, both of which form part of the User Agreement.
Pakistan does not yet have a comprehensive personal data protection law equivalent to the GDPR. 88hz nonetheless applies robust, internationally aligned data protection standards to all users, including those in Pakistan. This Policy reflects those standards. Where Pakistani law develops, 88hz will update this Policy accordingly.
The following terms have defined meanings throughout this Policy:
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Personal Data | Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person — including name, email address, CNIC number, IP address and device identifiers. |
| Processing | Any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, storage, use, disclosure, transmission, deletion and anonymisation. |
| Data Controller | 88hz — the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data. |
| Data Processor | A third party that processes Personal Data on behalf of and under the instructions of 88hz (e.g., cloud infrastructure providers, payment processors). |
| KYC | Know Your Customer — identity verification procedures required before processing withdrawals or as mandated by applicable compliance obligations. |
| Cookie | A small text file stored on your device by a website to remember your preferences or track usage patterns. |
| Consent | A freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of agreement to the processing of Personal Data for a stated purpose. |
| Operator | A licensed gambling entity whose services are accessible via the Platform and with whom 88hz may share data for operational purposes. |
When you register an Account, complete KYC verification or contact our support team, you provide us with Personal Data directly. This typically includes:
When you access the Platform, certain technical data is collected automatically by our servers and analytics tools:
88hz applies a data minimisation approach — we collect only the Personal Data that is necessary for the stated purpose. We do not collect sensitive data categories (such as health data, biometric data or political opinions) unless directly relevant to a specific regulatory compliance obligation and with appropriate safeguards in place.
88hz processes Personal Data only where a valid legal basis exists. The primary legal bases we rely upon are:
| Legal Basis | When We Rely on It |
|---|---|
| Contractual Necessity | Processing required to perform the User Agreement — including account creation, transaction processing, KYC verification and customer support. |
| Legal Obligation | Processing required to comply with AML, fraud prevention and identity verification obligations applicable to the Operator's licensing jurisdiction. |
| Legitimate Interests | Processing for platform security, fraud detection, responsible-gambling monitoring and service improvement — where such interests are not overridden by your privacy rights. |
| Consent | Processing for non-essential cookies, marketing communications and certain analytics — where you have provided clear, informed and freely given consent. |
88hz uses Personal Data for the following purposes, each of which is grounded in a valid legal basis as described in Section 4:
6.1 88hz does not sell, rent or trade your Personal Data to third parties for commercial gain. Disclosure of Personal Data is limited to the specific categories of recipients described in this section.
Where you access an Operator's services via the Platform, 88hz may share the Personal Data necessary to create and operate your account with that Operator. Operators receiving your data are required to process it in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable licensing obligations.
Payment-related data is shared with regulated payment service providers solely for the purpose of processing deposits and withdrawals. Payment providers referenced as familiar Pakistan payment infrastructure — including those operating in the Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah ecosystems — process data under their own regulatory frameworks. 88hz is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party payment processors once data leaves our systems.
88hz engages reputable third-party service providers for functions including cloud hosting, analytics, fraud prevention, KYC verification and customer support tooling. These providers act as Data Processors under written agreements that restrict them to processing data only as instructed by 88hz and only for the purposes described in this Policy.
88hz may disclose Personal Data to courts, regulators, law enforcement agencies or other governmental bodies where required to do so by law, court order or in connection with legal proceedings, fraud investigations or the protection of the rights and safety of users and third parties.
88hz does not sell, licence or otherwise commercially transfer your Personal Data to data brokers, advertisers or unaffiliated third parties. Any disclosure of data to third parties is strictly limited to the operational and compliance purposes set out in Section 6 of this Policy.
7.1 As an internationally operated platform, 88hz may transfer Personal Data to servers or service providers located outside Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, 88hz takes reasonable steps to ensure that the receiving entity provides an adequate level of data protection through contractual safeguards, standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms.
7.2 Pakistani users should be aware that data protection laws in destination countries may differ from those applicable in Pakistan. By using the Platform and accepting this Policy, you acknowledge the possibility of such international transfers and consent to them for the purposes described herein.
7.3 88hz will not transfer Personal Data to jurisdictions that do not provide adequate protections unless bound by appropriate contractual obligations with the receiving party.
8.1 88hz retains Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or for as long as required by applicable legal, regulatory or contractual obligations.
| Data Category | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Account & Registration Data | Duration of active account, plus a minimum of 5 years post-closure (or as required by the Operator's regulatory obligations). |
| KYC / Identity Documents | Minimum 5 years from the date of verification, or longer if mandated by applicable AML regulations. |
| Transaction Records | Minimum 5 years from the date of the transaction in line with standard financial record-keeping obligations. |
| Support Communications | 3 years from date of last communication, unless a dispute or legal matter requires longer retention. |
| Usage & Analytics Data | Up to 26 months in aggregated or anonymised form, after which individual-level data is deleted. |
| Marketing Consent Records | Duration of active consent, plus 3 years from withdrawal of consent to evidence compliance. |
8.2 Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, Personal Data is either permanently deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Anonymised data may be retained indefinitely for analytical and reporting purposes as it no longer constitutes Personal Data.
9.1 The 88hz Platform uses cookies and similar technologies (collectively, "Cookies") to ensure core functionality, improve performance and analyse usage patterns. The types of Cookies used are described in the table below.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Consent Required |
|---|---|---|
| Session management, security tokens, login state and load balancing. These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled. | No — Automatic | |
| Aggregate usage statistics, page performance monitoring and user-journey analysis to improve the Platform experience. Data is anonymised or pseudonymised where possible. | Yes — Consent Required | |
| Preference storage such as language settings, display preferences and session restoration. Enhances personalisation but is not strictly necessary for core functionality. | Yes — Consent Required |
9.2 You can manage or withdraw your consent to non-essential Cookies at any time through your browser settings or through the cookie preference panel available on the Platform. Please note that disabling certain Cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform.
9.3 88hz does not use Cookies to serve third-party advertising or to build user profiles for sale to advertisers.
10.1 88hz implements a range of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect Personal Data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These measures include:
While 88hz applies robust and industry-aligned security measures, no online system is entirely immune from security risks. 88hz cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their own login credentials and should notify us immediately upon suspicion of any unauthorised account access.
Subject to applicable law and the legitimate processing purposes described in this Policy, you hold the following rights in respect of your Personal Data held by 88hz. 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, along with information about how it is being processed. We will respond to verified access requests within 30 days.
If any Personal Data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected or updated. Please keep your Account information current to avoid processing errors.
You may request deletion of your Personal Data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent, or where there is no overriding legitimate interest or legal obligation requiring retention.
Where processing is based on consent or contractual necessity, you may request a structured, machine-readable copy of your Personal Data for transfer to another data controller.
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease such processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
In certain circumstances — such as where you contest the accuracy of data or object to processing — you may request that we restrict processing while the matter is resolved.
Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., marketing emails, non-essential cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
88hz will acknowledge all privacy rights requests within 5 business days and will endeavour to fulfil or provide a substantive response within 30 days. Complex requests may require up to an additional 30 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason for it.
12.1 The 88hz Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 and over, or such higher minimum age as is required by the Operator's licensing jurisdiction. The Platform is not directed at, nor does it knowingly collect Personal Data from, persons under the age of 18.
12.2 If 88hz becomes aware that Personal Data has been collected from a minor, that data will be deleted promptly and the associated Account closed. Parents and guardians are advised to use appropriate parental-control software to prevent underage access to online gambling platforms.
12.3 If you believe that a minor may have provided us with Personal Data, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 15.
13.1 The Platform may contain references to or integrations with third-party Operators and payment service providers. 88hz does not control the privacy practices of these third parties and is not responsible for their data collection or handling activities.
13.2 Users are advised to review the privacy policies of any Operator or payment provider they interact with through or in connection with the Platform. Payment providers referenced in a Pakistan payment context — such as those operating within ecosystems familiar to Pakistani users — have their own data protection frameworks independent of 88hz.
13.3 This Policy applies solely to the 88hz Platform and does not extend to any third-party websites, applications or services.
14.1 88hz reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law or regulatory requirements. The revised Policy will be published on this page with an updated "Last Reviewed" date.
14.2 For material changes, 88hz will endeavour to notify registered users through a prominent Platform notice or by email to the address associated with their Account. However, it remains your responsibility to review this Policy periodically.
14.3 Continued use of the Platform following publication of an amended Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree to the amendments, you must stop using the Platform and may close your Account.
For all privacy-related enquiries, requests to exercise your rights, or complaints about how 88hz handles your Personal Data, please contact our support team. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with assistance in both English and Urdu.
We will acknowledge all privacy requests within 5 business days. For full Terms governing use of the Platform, see our Terms & Conditions.
15.2 — Complaints. If you are not satisfied with how 88hz has handled a privacy concern, you may escalate your complaint to the relevant data protection authority in your jurisdiction. In Pakistan, data protection oversight is evolving; users may contact the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) for matters within its remit. 88hz will cooperate fully with any regulatory enquiry.
Our support team handles all privacy rights requests around the clock, in both English and Urdu. Or return to the homepage to explore our platform guides, cricket betting information and responsible gambling tools.
