288com Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is published by 288com ("we", "us", "our") and applies to all users of the 288com platform accessible at 288com.net ("the Platform"). This Policy describes how 288com collects, processes, stores, and protects personal data in connection with the provision of its online betting and casino services to Pakistani players.

By registering a 288com account or continuing to use the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and that you consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree with this Policy, you must cease using the Platform immediately.

This Policy should be read alongside the 288com Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which are available on the Platform.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Registration Data. When you create a 288com account, we collect your full name, email address, date of birth, and any other information required to complete the registration process. This data is mandatory — accounts cannot be created without it.

2.2 Identity Verification Data. As part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) process, 288com may collect copies of government-issued identity documents (such as a CNIC or passport), proof of address documents, and selfie photographs for identity confirmation. This information is required to comply with anti-money laundering and responsible gaming obligations.

2.3 Financial Data. 288com collects information about your deposits, withdrawals, and transactions on the Platform. This includes the payment method used (e.g., JazzCash, Easypaisa, HBL, UBL), transaction amounts, and transaction timestamps. 288com does not store full card numbers; payment card data is handled by PCI-compliant third-party payment processors.

2.4 Usage Data. We automatically collect data about how you interact with the 288com Platform. This includes your IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, pages visited, games played, bets placed, session duration, and referring URL. This data is collected via server logs and analytics tools.

2.5 Communications Data. If you contact 288com customer support, we will retain a record of that correspondence, including email threads, live chat transcripts, and any documents exchanged.

2.6 Responsible Gaming Data. Where you make use of responsible gaming tools — such as deposit limits, session controls, or self-exclusion — 288com records this information and retains it for the period required by our responsible gaming obligations, even if your account is subsequently closed.

3. How We Use Your Data

288com uses the personal data it collects for the following purposes:

• To create, manage, and maintain your 288com account
• To process deposits, withdrawals, and settle bets and game rounds
• To verify your identity and age in compliance with KYC obligations
• To detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other prohibited activities
• To operate responsible gaming controls and enforce self-exclusion requests
• To provide customer support and respond to your enquiries
• To send transactional communications (e.g., deposit confirmations, withdrawal updates)
• To send marketing and promotional communications, where you have opted in
• To improve the Platform's performance, content, and user experience
• To comply with applicable legal obligations and regulatory requirements

4. Legal Basis for Processing

288com processes your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Contract Performance — processing necessary to perform the contract between you and 288com (i.e., to provide the betting and casino services you have registered for)
• Legal Obligation — processing required for 288com to comply with applicable anti-money laundering, age verification, and regulatory requirements
• Legitimate Interests — processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and improvement of 288com services, where these interests are not overridden by your rights
• Consent — where you have provided explicit consent, such as for marketing communications

5. Sharing Your Data

5.1 Service Providers. 288com shares personal data with trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating the Platform. These include payment processors (for JazzCash, Easypaisa, card payments, and USDT transactions), identity verification providers, cloud hosting providers, analytics services, and customer support software providers. All such providers are bound by contractual data protection obligations.

5.2 Legal & Regulatory Disclosure. 288com may disclose your personal data to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or other competent authorities where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or in connection with the prevention or detection of crime.

5.3 No Sale of Data. 288com does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own independent commercial or marketing purposes. This commitment applies regardless of the nature of any business relationship 288com may have with that third party.

5.4 Business Transfers. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of 288com's assets, personal data held by 288com may be transferred to the acquiring entity. In such circumstances, 288com will provide notice via the Platform prior to any transfer, and the Policy applicable to your data will remain materially consistent.

6. Data Retention

288com retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. Account registration data, KYC documents, and transaction records are typically retained for a minimum of five years following account closure, in line with standard anti-money laundering retention requirements. Responsible gaming records — including self-exclusion data — are retained for a minimum period consistent with the exclusion term to prevent circumvention.

Where data is no longer required for any legitimate purpose, 288com will securely delete or anonymise it.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

288com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Platform to operate core functionality, analyse usage patterns, and deliver relevant content. The categories of cookies used include:

• Essential Cookies — required for the Platform to function (e.g., session management, login state). These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics Cookies — used to understand how players interact with the Platform, which pages are visited most frequently, and where users encounter errors. Data collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible.
• Preference Cookies — used to remember your settings and preferences on the 288com Platform (e.g., language settings).

You may manage non-essential cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the 288com Platform.

8. Security Measures

288com implements and maintains appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include 256-bit SSL encryption for all data in transit, secure and access-controlled data storage infrastructure, regular security audits, and staff training on data protection obligations.

While 288com takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your 288com login credentials confidential and for notifying us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.

If you believe a minor has registered a 288com account, please notify us immediately at [email protected].

11. Third-Party Links

The 288com Platform may contain references to third-party services or payment providers. This Policy does not apply to any third-party websites or services. 288com is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party services. You should review the privacy policies of any third-party platforms you access in connection with using 288com.

12. International Data Transfers

288com may transfer your personal data to, or store it in, countries outside Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, 288com ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to the protections described in this Policy.
