This Privacy Policy describes what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, how it is protected, and what rights you hold in relation to it.

This Policy applies to all users of the i888 Platform, including visitors browsing the site without an account and registered players who have created an i888 account. By using the Platform, you consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described in this Policy.

3. How We Use Your Data

i888 uses the personal data described above for the following purposes:

4. Legal Basis for Processing

i888 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal grounds:

• Contractual necessity: Processing required to provide the services you have requested, such as account registration and transaction processing.
• Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with anti-money-laundering regulations, age verification requirements, and gaming license conditions.
• Legitimate interest: Processing required for fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement, balanced against your privacy rights.
• Consent: Processing for optional purposes such as marketing communications, which you may withdraw at any time.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

i888 does not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share your data with the following categories of recipients, strictly as necessary to operate the Platform and comply with legal obligations:

• Payment processors: JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, and Meezan Bank, to the extent necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals.
• Game and content providers: Software providers powering slots, live dealer tables, and sportsbook markets receive limited gameplay data necessary to deliver the games.
• Regulatory and licensing authorities: Where required under our international gaming license or applicable anti-money-laundering laws.
• Law enforcement: Where legally compelled by valid court order, subpoena, or government request.
• Professional advisors: Auditors, legal counsel, and compliance consultants engaged by i888 under confidentiality obligations.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

i888 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform effectively and to improve your experience. The categories of cookies we use include:

• Essential cookies: Required for core functionality such as maintaining your logged-in session and remembering your cookie consent preference. These cannot be disabled.
• Performance cookies: Used to understand how players navigate the Platform, which pages are most visited, and where technical issues occur.
• Preference cookies: Remember your settings, such as preferred language or display options.
• Marketing cookies: Used only with your consent, to measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns relevant to i888 services.

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may impair your ability to use core features of the i888 Platform, including remaining logged in.

7. Data Security

i888 implements a multi-layered security framework to protect your personal and financial data:

• Encryption: All data in transit is protected using 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms and are never stored in plain text.
• Access controls: Only authorised personnel with a legitimate business need can access KYC documents and sensitive account information, governed by strict internal access policies.
• Mobile OTP verification: Adds a second layer of protection for account logins from new or unrecognised devices.
• Continuous monitoring: Automated systems monitor for unusual login patterns, unauthorised access attempts, and potential data breaches around the clock.
• Segregated fund accounts: While not strictly a data security measure, your financial balance is held separately from operational funds as an added layer of protection consistent with our gaming license obligations.

Despite these measures, no system can guarantee absolute security. If i888 becomes aware of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant regulatory authority in accordance with applicable law and our gaming license requirements.

8. Data Retention

i888 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Policy, including ongoing legal, accounting, and regulatory reporting requirements. As a general guide:

• Active account data: Retained for the duration of your account's existence on the Platform.
• KYC and transaction records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years following account closure, in line with anti-money-laundering recordkeeping obligations under our gaming license.
• Communication records: Retained for up to 3 years to support dispute resolution and quality assurance.
• Marketing consent records: Retained until consent is withdrawn, plus a reasonable period thereafter to evidence compliance.

Following the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised such that it can no longer be associated with you.

9. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law and our regulatory recordkeeping obligations, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by i888:

• Right of access: Request a copy of the personal data i888 holds about you.
• Right of rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Right to erasure: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to our legal obligation to retain certain records (e.g., KYC and transaction data) for regulatory purposes.
• Right to restrict processing: Request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to withdraw consent: Withdraw consent for optional processing activities, such as marketing communications, at any time.
• Right to lodge a complaint: Raise concerns about how your data is handled with i888 directly, or with the relevant data protection or gaming regulatory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team using the details in Section 13 below. We will respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe, generally within 30 days.

10. Protection of Minors

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from someone under the age of 21, we will take immediate steps to verify this, suspend the associated account, and delete the collected data, except where retention is required to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. If you believe a minor has registered an account or provided data to i888, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 13.

11. International Data Transfers

As an internationally licensed online gaming operator, i888 may process and store personal data on servers located outside of Pakistan, including in jurisdictions where our technology partners, payment processors, or cloud infrastructure providers are based. Where such transfers occur, i888 ensures that appropriate safeguards — including contractual data protection obligations and encryption — are in place to protect your personal data to a standard consistent with this Policy.

12. Changes to This Policy

i888 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or gaming license conditions. Material changes will be communicated to registered players via an in-platform notification or to the email address registered to your account, with reasonable advance notice prior to the changes taking effect.

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Your continued use of the i888 Platform following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
