Privacy Policy
At 98tb, protecting the personal data of every user — from Karachi to Peshawar — is a core platform commitment. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you hold over your own information.
Minimal Data Collection
98tb collects only the personal data strictly necessary to deliver a functional, personalised and secure experience. We do not harvest data for resale or for undisclosed commercial profiling.
Encrypted & Secure
All pages are served over HTTPS with TLS encryption. Sensitive data — including identity documents and payment references — is stored using industry-standard encryption at rest and in transit.
Your Rights, Respected
You retain the right to access, correct, restrict and request deletion of your personal data at any time. Submit a request via the contact email listed in this policy and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
No Third-Party Data Sales
98tb does not sell, rent or lease your personal information to any third party for their independent marketing purposes. Data sharing with partners is limited to what is necessary to operate the platform.
Cookie Transparency
We use essential, functional and analytical cookies only. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time. We do not use third-party advertising trackers or cross-site profiling cookies.
Breach Notification
In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your personal data, 98tb will notify affected users promptly and take all reasonable steps to contain and remediate the incident without delay.
01 Introduction
98tb ("we", "us", "our") operates the online gaming information and entertainment platform accessible at https://98tb.cam (the "Platform"). This Privacy Policy sets out how 98tb collects, processes, stores, shares and protects personal data relating to users of the Platform ("you", "your", "User").

We are committed to handling personal data in a responsible, transparent and secure manner, consistent with recognised data protection principles. This Policy applies to all data processing activities carried out by 98tb in connection with your use of the Platform, whether you access it from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar or any other location.
This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions, which govern your overall use of the Platform. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and the Terms & Conditions, this Privacy Policy shall prevail with respect to matters of personal data processing.

03 Data We Collect
98tb may collect and process the following categories of personal data depending on how you interact with the Platform:
3.1 Identity & Contact Data
This data is collected when you register an Account, complete identity verification or contact our support team.
3.2 Technical & Usage Data
This data is collected automatically when you browse the Platform through server logs, cookies and similar tracking technologies described in Section 10.

- Automated technologies: Data collected passively as you navigate the Platform, including cookies, web beacons, server logs and session replay tools, as described in Section 10.
- Third-party sources: Where applicable, identity verification data from KYC service providers, fraud-screening signals from security vendors, and analytics data from aggregated audience measurement tools.
- Operator referrals: Where a user reaches 98tb via a partner operator's platform, limited referral data (such as a tracking identifier) may be passed to us for affiliate attribution purposes only.

| Legal obligation | Identity verification (KYC/AML), responding to lawful regulatory requests, maintaining financial records. |
| Vital interests | Age verification to protect minors, acting on responsible gambling self-exclusion requests. |
Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
06 Purposes of Processing
Your personal data is processed for the following specific purposes:
- Account management: Creating, maintaining and securing your user profile, including password resets, login history and session management.

- Personalisation: Tailoring Platform content, game recommendations and promotional offers to your demonstrated interests and account activity.

7.2 What We Do Not Do

- Sell, rent or lease your personal data to any third party for their own commercial or marketing purposes.
- Share your data with payment providers (Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah) — any payment processing occurs directly on the relevant operator's platform and is governed by that operator's own privacy policy.
- Transfer your data to any party outside of those listed above without your explicit consent, except where legally compelled.
08 Data Retention
98tb retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following general retention principles apply:
| Data Category | Retention Period |

| Marketing consent records | Duration of consent plus 3 years to evidence lawful processing. |
| Self-exclusion records | Indefinite, to prevent re-registration during an active exclusion period. |
When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to any individual.
09 Data Security
98tb implements a layered approach to data security, combining technical, organisational and procedural controls to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction. Key measures include:
- TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and the Platform is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2 or higher).
- Encryption at rest: Sensitive personal data stored in our databases is encrypted using AES-256 or equivalent standards.
- Access controls: Internal access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis, with role-based access controls and audit logging for all privileged operations.
- Vulnerability management: The Platform undergoes regular security assessments, including penetration testing and dependency scanning, to identify and remediate vulnerabilities promptly.
- Staff training: All 98tb personnel with access to personal data receive regular data protection and security awareness training.
- Incident response: We maintain a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a breach posing a material risk to your rights, affected users will be notified without undue delay.
While we take all reasonable precautions, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are encouraged to use a strong, unique password for your 98tb Account and to enable any additional authentication options made available by the Platform.
10 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
10.1 What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They serve a variety of functions, from keeping you logged in during a session to helping us understand how users navigate the Platform so we can improve the experience.
10.2 Types of Cookies We Use
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Consent Required |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Login sessions, security tokens, CSRF protection, load balancing. The Platform cannot function without these. | No — strictly necessary |
| Functional | Remembering language preferences, display settings and responsible gambling tool configurations. | No — functional necessity |
| Analytical | Aggregated usage statistics (pages visited, session duration, click paths) to improve Platform performance and content relevance. | Yes — opt-in |
| Marketing | We do not use cross-site advertising or retargeting cookies. Any promotional content shown on the Platform is based solely on your on-site activity. | N/A — not used |
10.3 Managing Cookies
You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or receive a notification before a cookie is stored. Please note that disabling essential cookies will impair core Platform functionality, including the ability to remain logged into your Account.
11 Minors & Age Restriction
The 98tb Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years or older — or the higher minimum age required by the relevant operator or licence jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under this age threshold.
During Account registration, users are required to confirm their date of birth. Where age verification cannot be satisfactorily completed, access to real-money features will be suspended pending resolution. If 98tb becomes aware that a minor has provided personal data without appropriate parental consent, that data will be deleted promptly and the associated Account closed.
Parents or guardians who believe that a minor may have registered on the Platform should contact us immediately at the address provided in Section 15 so that we can take appropriate action without delay.
12 Your Data Rights

- Right to rectification: If any personal data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected or updated.
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to overriding legal retention obligations.
- Right to restriction of processing: You may request that we limit the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while the accuracy of data is being disputed.
- Right to data portability: Where processing is based on consent or contractual necessity and carried out by automated means, you may request that your data be provided to you in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object: You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling. You may also object to direct marketing at any time, with immediate effect.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without penalty. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
13 International Data Transfers
98tb may transfer personal data to, or process it in, countries outside Pakistan where our service providers, hosting infrastructure or data processors are located. Where such transfers occur, we take steps to ensure that your personal data continues to receive an adequate level of protection, including by:
- Using service providers whose data processing agreements include appropriate contractual safeguards.
- Selecting hosting and infrastructure partners in jurisdictions with recognised data protection frameworks.
- Applying technical safeguards such as end-to-end encryption for data in transit.
