hh98 is committed to protecting your personal data and being transparent about how we collect, use and store information. This Privacy Policy explains your rights and our obligations in plain, professional English.
Our Principles
These six cards summarise the core principles guiding how hh98 handles personal data. They supplement — but do not replace — the full legal text below.
hh98 collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary to provide the Platform's information services. We do not collect data for its own sake.
Data collected by hh98 is used only for the specific purposes described in this Policy. We do not repurpose your data for unrelated activities without your consent.
hh98 does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes under any circumstances.
We implement industry-standard technical and organisational security controls — including HTTPS/TLS encryption — to protect your data against unauthorised access or disclosure.
You have the right to access, correct, restrict or request deletion of your personal data held by hh98. We honour those rights promptly and without unnecessary barriers.
This Policy is written in plain, professional English specifically so Pakistani users and all other visitors can understand exactly what we do with their data — no hidden clauses.
hh98 ("hh98", "we", "us" or "our") operates the website at https://hh98.cam (the "Platform"), an independent English-language online casino and sports betting information platform serving Pakistani users and international visitors.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how hh98 collects, processes, stores and protects personal data relating to individuals ("Users", "you" or "your") who access or use the Platform. It also sets out your data protection rights and how you may exercise them.
This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and our Responsible Gambling page. By using the Platform you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you must discontinue use of the Platform immediately.
The following terms carry the meanings set out below throughout this Policy:
hh98 collects the following categories of Personal Data, to the extent that they are provided voluntarily by Users or generated automatically during Platform use:
| Data Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Device & Technical Data | IP address, browser type, operating system, screen resolution | Security, fraud prevention, compatibility |
| Usage Data | Pages visited, time on page, referral URL, clicks | Analytics, content improvement |
| Cookie Data | Session identifiers, preference cookies, analytics cookies | Platform functionality, user experience |
| Geographic Data | Country/city inferred from IP (e.g., Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad) | Content localisation, compliance |
hh98 collects Personal Data through the following means:
hh98 Processes Personal Data only for legitimate, specified purposes. The table below maps each Processing purpose to its legal basis:
| Purpose | Data Used | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Delivering Platform content and functionality | Technical, usage, cookie data | Legitimate interests (operating the Platform) |
| Responding to support queries | Contact data, correspondence | Performance of a contract / legitimate interests |
| Platform analytics and improvement | Usage data, cookie data | Legitimate interests (improving user experience) |
| Security and fraud prevention | IP address, device data | Legitimate interests (protecting the Platform) |
| Content localisation | Geographic data inferred from IP | Legitimate interests (serving relevant content) |
| Legal compliance and enforcement | Any relevant data | Legal obligation / legitimate interests |
Where Processing is based on legitimate interests, hh98 has conducted a balancing assessment to ensure such interests do not override the rights and freedoms of Users. Where Processing requires consent (for example, non-essential cookies), we will obtain that consent before Processing begins.
hh98 does not sell, rent or trade Personal Data. We share Personal Data only in the limited circumstances described below:
hh98 engages trusted third-party service providers to support Platform operations — for example, web hosting, content delivery networks, analytics platforms and customer support tools. These providers act as Data Processors under contractual arrangements that restrict them to Processing data only on hh98's instructions and to the extent necessary to provide their services.
hh98 may disclose Personal Data where required to do so by law, court order, regulatory authority or other binding legal process. We will notify affected Users where permitted by law before making such disclosure.
In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or part of hh98's assets, Personal Data may be transferred to the relevant successor entity. Users will be notified of any such transfer and their rights under this Policy will be maintained.
hh98 may share aggregated, anonymised statistical data with partners or publish it internally for research and improvement purposes. Such data cannot be used to identify individual Users.
Some of hh98's Third-Party Service providers operate in jurisdictions outside the User's country of residence, including jurisdictions that may not offer the same level of data protection as Pakistan or the European Economic Area.
Where such transfers occur, hh98 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place — such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms — to protect Personal Data to a standard consistent with this Policy. Users may request further information about international transfer safeguards by contacting us at the details in Section 16.
hh98 retains Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following general retention periods apply:
| Data Category | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Support correspondence (email/chat) | Up to 24 months from the date of last contact |
| Server logs (IP address, access records) | Up to 12 months from collection |
| Analytics data (aggregated/anonymised) | Up to 26 months (standard analytics cycle) |
| Cookie data | As set out in Section 9 (varies by cookie type) |
| Legal compliance records | As required by applicable law (up to 7 years) |
Following the expiry of the applicable retention period, Personal Data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data lifecycle procedures.
hh98 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform, analyse usage and improve user experience. The following categories of cookies may be set on your device:
You may control cookie settings through your browser's privacy preferences. Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform. Detailed instructions for managing cookies are available in your browser's help documentation.
Subject to applicable law, you have the following rights in relation to your Personal Data held by hh98. These rights are set out below for clarity:
You may request a copy of the Personal Data hh98 holds about you, along with information on how it is being used.
You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data held by hh98.
In certain circumstances you may request deletion of your Personal Data ("right to be forgotten"), subject to legal retention obligations.
You may request that hh98 restrict how your Personal Data is used in certain defined circumstances, for example while a correction request is pending.
Where technically feasible, you may request a structured, machine-readable copy of Personal Data you have provided to hh98.
You may object to Processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact hh98 using the details in Section 16. We will respond to all valid requests within 30 days. In complex cases we may extend this period by a further 60 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reasons for it.
We may need to verify your identity before actioning a data rights request to protect against unauthorised access to Personal Data.
The Platform is intended for adults aged 18 and above — or the higher minimum age required by the operator/license jurisdiction applicable to the User. hh98 does not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18.
If we become aware that Personal Data has been collected from a minor without verifiable parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our systems. If you believe a minor has provided Personal Data to hh98, please contact us immediately at the details in Section 16.
hh98 is an English-language platform that primarily serves Pakistani users in cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar. We are conscious of the regulatory environment in Pakistan and approach data handling with the following Pakistan-specific considerations in mind:
The Platform may reference or provide information about third-party online gambling operators and services. hh98 is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party operator, website or service. This Policy applies solely to data Processed by hh98 in connection with the Platform.
If you choose to visit or register with a third-party operator referenced on hh98, please review that operator's privacy policy before providing any personal or financial information. The data protection standards of third-party operators may differ materially from those described in this Policy.
hh98 integrates certain Third-Party Services (such as analytics tools and content delivery networks) into Platform operations. These services operate under their own privacy policies and may independently collect technical data about your visit. hh98 conducts due diligence on such providers before integration and requires that they process data only as necessary.
hh98 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. These measures include:
Notwithstanding these measures, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. hh98 cannot guarantee the absolute security of Personal Data and users acknowledge this inherent risk when using any online service.
In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of affected Users, hh98 will notify those Users without undue delay and take all reasonable remedial steps.
hh98 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law or operational circumstances. Revised versions of the Policy will be published on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
Where changes are material, hh98 will make reasonable efforts to notify Users — for example, by displaying a prominent notice on the Platform. Continued use of the Platform following publication of a revised Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
We recommend reviewing this Policy periodically, particularly if you regularly use the Platform or share Personal Data with hh98.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise your data rights, or wish to raise a privacy concern, please contact hh98 using the details below. All contact information is provided as plain text — no clickable links are used in accordance with our platform policy.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority in your jurisdiction if you believe hh98 has not handled your Personal Data in accordance with applicable law.
