98ab Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Data

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains in plain language what personal data 98ab collects when you register and use our platform, how that data is used, who can access it and what rights you have as a user. We keep it straightforward — no legal jargon for the sake of it.

Our Six Privacy Principles

Everything we do with your data follows these principles. The full policy below gives the detail — these six points give you the picture at a glance.

🔒
Collect Only What We Need

98ab collects the minimum personal data required to operate your account, process PKR deposits and withdrawals and keep the platform secure. We do not collect data for the sake of it or share it with third-party advertisers.

🛡️
Secure Storage and Transmission

All data transmitted between your device and the 98ab platform is encrypted. Account credentials, PKR transaction records and personal details are stored using industry-standard security practices with access controls in place at every level.

👁️
Transparent About What We Do

We tell you exactly what data we collect, why we collect it and how long we keep it. This policy is written to be genuinely readable — not to obscure what we do behind dense legal text that no one actually reads.

🤝
No Selling Your Data

98ab does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial purposes. Where we share data with service providers — such as payment processors for JazzCash and Easypaisa transactions — it is strictly for the purpose of operating your account.

⚙️
You Control Your Data

You have the right to access, correct or request deletion of your personal data at any time. You can also opt out of non-essential communications. We respond to all data requests promptly through our support team at [email protected].

⏱️
Data Kept Only as Long as Needed

We retain your personal data only for as long as your account is active or as required to meet legal and fraud prevention obligations. Once the retention period ends, data is securely deleted or anonymised in line with our data management standards.

1Who This Policy Applies To

This Privacy Policy applies to all individuals who visit the 98ab website at 98ab.fun, use the 98ab Android application, or hold a registered account on the platform. By registering an account or continuing to use the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

98ab operates an online sports betting and gaming platform serving users in Pakistan. All personal data we collect is processed in connection with the operation of this platform — including account management, PKR deposit and withdrawal processing, sports betting, fish games, live casino and VIP programme administration.

Note: This policy may be updated from time to time. When material changes are made, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. Continued use of the 98ab platform after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

2What Personal Data We Collect

2.1 Registration Data

When you create a 98ab account, we collect the information you provide during the registration process. This typically includes your full name, date of birth, mobile number and any other details required to verify that you are at least 18 years of age and to set up your PKR account.

2.2 Payment and Transaction Data

To process deposits and withdrawals in PKR, we collect and record transaction details including the payment method used (JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer or card), transaction amounts, timestamps and payment reference numbers. We do not store full card numbers or mobile wallet PINs — payment processing is handled through secured third-party processors.

2.3 Platform Activity Data

We collect data about how you use the 98ab platform — including which sections you visit, bets placed, games played, session durations and feature interactions. This data is used to improve platform performance, personalise your experience and identify unusual activity patterns that may indicate fraud or account compromise.

2.4 Device and Technical Data

When you access 98ab through a web browser or the Android app, we automatically collect certain technical information. This includes your IP address, device type, operating system version, browser type, screen resolution and network connection type (4G, Wi-Fi etc.). This data is used for security monitoring, fraud prevention and to optimise platform performance across the range of devices used by Pakistan players.

2.5 Communications Data

If you contact the 98ab support team by any channel, we retain a record of that communication for quality assurance, dispute resolution and training purposes. This includes the content of your messages and any attachments or screenshots you provide.

2.6 Cookies and Tracking

The 98ab website uses cookies and similar technologies to maintain your login session, remember your preferences and analyse how the platform is used. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

4Who We Share Your Data With

98ab does not sell your personal data. We share it only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.

4.1 Payment Processors

To process PKR deposits and withdrawals through JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and bank transfer, we share the minimum necessary transaction data with the relevant payment service provider. These providers operate their own privacy and security standards and process your payment data solely for the purpose of completing the transaction you have initiated.

4.2 Identity Verification Services

Where 98ab requests identity verification — for example, to confirm your age or to process a withdrawal above a certain PKR threshold — we may share relevant personal details with a third-party verification service. This data is used exclusively for the verification process and is not retained by the verification provider beyond the period required to complete the check.

4.3 Platform Technology Providers

We work with technology partners who provide infrastructure, security, analytics and game content for the 98ab platform. These partners may process limited technical data (such as IP addresses and session identifiers) in the course of providing their services. All such partners are bound by data processing agreements that restrict how they handle your information.

4.4 Legal and Regulatory Requirements

We may disclose personal data where required to do so by law, court order or where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety or property of 98ab, our users or the public. In such cases, we disclose only the minimum data required to comply with the specific legal obligation.

4.5 Business Transfers

In the event that 98ab undergoes a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, user data may form part of the transferred assets. In such circumstances, users will be notified via the platform and the acquiring entity will be required to honour the commitments set out in this Privacy Policy.


5Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your 98ab account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter to meet our fraud prevention, dispute resolution and record-keeping obligations. The table below summarises our standard retention periods for different categories of data.

Data Category Retention Period
Account registration details Duration of account plus 2 years after closure
PKR transaction records 5 years from the date of transaction
Bet and game activity records 3 years from the date of activity
Support communications 2 years from the date of last contact
Device and technical logs 90 days rolling
Identity verification documents Duration of account plus 2 years after closure

Once the relevant retention period has elapsed, data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with your identity. Anonymised aggregate data — for example, platform usage statistics — may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.


6Data Security

Keeping your data secure is something we take seriously at 98ab. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or disclosure. These measures include:

  • TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the 98ab platform
  • Encrypted storage of sensitive account credentials and payment references
  • Role-based access controls — only authorised personnel with a business need can access personal data
  • Regular security reviews and monitoring for unusual access patterns
  • Automatic session timeouts on the platform to reduce the risk of unauthorised access on shared devices
  • Two-factor authentication options available to all registered users
Your role in security: Platform security is a shared responsibility. Use a strong and unique password for your 98ab account, do not share your login credentials with anyone and log out after each session — especially when accessing the platform from a shared or public device. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact support immediately.

Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal data, we will notify affected users promptly and take all reasonable steps to contain and remediate the incident.


7Your Privacy Rights

As a registered user of the 98ab platform, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team at [email protected] and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

  • Right of access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time. We will provide this in a readable format within a reasonable period.
  • Right to correction: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it. For basic account details such as your mobile number, you may also update these directly in your account settings.
  • Right to deletion: You can request that we delete your personal data. We will honour this request where we are not legally required to retain the data for fraud prevention, transaction record-keeping or other legitimate purposes.
  • Right to restrict processing: In certain circumstances, you can ask us to limit how we use your data while a dispute or review is pending.
  • Right to object: You can object to our processing of your data where that processing is based on legitimate interests rather than a legal obligation or contract requirement. This includes the right to opt out of marketing communications at any time.
  • Right to data portability: Where technically feasible, you can request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format for transfer to another service.
How to make a request: Email [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Request" and include your registered account username or mobile number so we can locate your account. We will acknowledge your request promptly and confirm the outcome in writing.

8Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The 98ab website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — along with similar tracking technologies such as local storage and session identifiers. These are used for the following purposes:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function, including maintaining your login session and remembering your preferences. These cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how users navigate the platform so we can improve the experience. Data collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
  • Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, including repeated failed login attempts and suspicious session behaviour.
  • Preference cookies: Store your platform settings such as preferred language, display options and notification preferences.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to log in and use the 98ab platform normally. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.


9Children's Privacy

The 98ab platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered an account on 98ab, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. Upon verification, we will close the account and delete the associated personal data without delay.

As part of our responsible gaming commitment, 98ab may request age verification at any point during the account lifecycle. Accounts that cannot provide satisfactory age verification will be suspended pending review.


10Changes to This Privacy Policy

98ab may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate, the services we offer or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we may also notify registered users through the platform or via the contact details on their account.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the 98ab platform after any change to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you have questions about how your data is handled or want to exercise any of your privacy rights, contact us at [email protected] — our support team is available around the clock.

For questions about responsible gaming features, deposit limits and self-exclusion tools, please visit the Responsible Gaming page. For the full terms governing your use of the platform, see the Terms and Conditions.
