Privacy Policy — 88ft

This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") is published by 88ft (referred to as "88ft", "we", "us" or "our"), the operator of the informational website located at https://88ft.cam/ (the "Site").

88ft is an independent informational and educational resource providing guidance on online sports betting, casino gaming, PKR payment methods, responsible gambling and related topics for users in Pakistan and internationally. 88ft is not a gambling operator. We do not accept deposits, offer bets or operate any casino or sportsbook service.

This Policy sets out in clear terms: what personal data we collect when you visit the Site; the purposes for which that data is processed; who we may share it with; how long we retain it; the security measures we apply to protect it; and the rights you have in relation to your personal data.

By continuing to use this Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with any aspect of this Policy, please discontinue your use of the Site. This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions.

For the purposes of applicable data protection law, the Data Controller in respect of personal data collected through this Site is the 88ft editorial team, operating the Site at https://88ft.cam/.

If you have any questions about how your personal data is handled, or wish to exercise any of your data subject rights described in Section 12, please use the contact details set out in Section 16.

The following definitions apply throughout this Policy:

88ft collects the minimum data necessary to operate this Site effectively and to understand how it is being used. We collect data in the following categories:

4.1 Data Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, our web servers and analytics tools may automatically collect the following technical data:

4.2 Data Provided Voluntarily

If you use any contact or enquiry form on this Site (such as the support enquiry layout on the homepage), you may voluntarily provide:

• Your name (or a chosen display name);
• An email address for us to respond to your query;
• The subject matter and free-text content of your message.

4.3 Data We Do Not Collect

For absolute clarity, 88ft does not collect:

• Payment card details, bank account numbers, PKR balances or any financial transaction data;
• Gambling account usernames, passwords or session tokens from third-party operators;
• Government-issued identity document data (such as CNIC numbers);
• Biometric or health data;
• Precise GPS location data.

We process the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes only:

• Site Operation: To serve web pages correctly to your browser, maintain uptime and ensure the Site functions as intended across devices used by users in Pakistan and internationally;
• Analytics & Improvement: To understand how users navigate the Site — which pages are most visited, how long users spend on content sections, which devices are most commonly used — so that we can improve the quality and relevance of our content;
• Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect and mitigate abnormal access patterns, brute-force attempts and other security threats that could affect the integrity of the Site;
• User Support: To respond to enquiries submitted via our contact information, including questions about our content, responsible gambling resources or data rights;
• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable legal obligations, including the preservation of records as required by law or court order.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you. We do not use your data to build advertising profiles or target you with personalised advertisements.

Where data protection law requires a lawful basis for processing personal data, 88ft relies on the following bases:

• Legitimate Interests: Processing of automatically collected technical data (IP addresses, browser data, page-visit logs) is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating and securing a functional informational website. These interests are not overridden by the privacy rights of users, given the limited and non-sensitive nature of the data collected.
• Consent: Where we use non-essential analytical cookies (see Section 9), we will seek your consent where required under applicable law. You may withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings.
• Contractual Necessity / Pre-Contractual Steps: Where you contact us and we respond, processing of your contact data is necessary to respond to your request.
• Legal Obligation: Where we are required to process or retain data to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

88ft does not sell, rent or trade personal data. We may share data in limited circumstances as follows:

• Infrastructure & Hosting Providers: Our web hosting and infrastructure providers process technical data (such as server logs containing IP addresses) as data processors acting on our instructions. They are bound by appropriate data processing agreements.
• Analytics Services: If we use third-party web analytics (such as visitor counting services), these providers may process anonymised or pseudonymised usage data. We do not permit such providers to use your data for their own purposes.
• CDN & Font Services: This Site uses content delivery network (CDN) libraries and Google Fonts, which may record your IP address when loading assets from their servers. This is a technical delivery function — these providers do not receive identifiable user data from us for any other purpose.
• Legal Obligations: We may disclose personal data if required to do so by law, court order or lawful request by a competent regulatory or governmental authority.
• Business Transfers: In the unlikely event that 88ft is acquired or its assets are transferred, user data held at that time may form part of the transferred assets. Any acquirer would be required to honour this Policy or notify users of any material changes.

We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our standard retention periods are as follows:

• Server log data (including IP addresses): retained for up to 90 days for security purposes, then automatically purged unless retention is required by law.
• Analytics data: retained in aggregated or anonymised form for up to 26 months to track long-term usage trends. Individual session data is not retained beyond 14 months.
• Contact enquiry data: retained for up to 12 months following resolution of the enquiry, to maintain a record of our correspondence. After this period, it is securely deleted.
• Cookie data: session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent analytics cookies are set with a maximum duration of 13 months.

When personal data is no longer required, we ensure it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you as an individual.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. 88ft uses a limited set of cookies to ensure the Site functions correctly and to understand how users engage with our content. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.

You can control cookie behaviour through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse some or all cookies, or to delete cookies already stored on your device. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.

Third-party services used to deliver this Site (such as Bootstrap CDN from jsDelivr, and Google Fonts) may set their own cookies or collect limited technical data. These are governed by the respective providers' own privacy policies.

88ft implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure. These measures include:

• HTTPS/SSL encryption: all data transmitted between your browser and the 88ft server is encrypted in transit using TLS/SSL protocols. You can verify this by checking for the padlock icon in your browser's address bar.
• Access controls: access to systems that process personal data is restricted to authorised personnel only, on a need-to-know basis.
• Regular security reviews: we periodically review our security practices and update them in response to emerging threats and best-practice guidance.
• Incident response: in the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will take prompt remedial action and notify you where required by applicable law.

The personal data we collect may be processed on servers located outside your country of residence. For users in Pakistan, this means your data may be transferred to and processed in countries whose data protection laws differ from those in Pakistan.

Where such transfers occur — for example, via our hosting provider or CDN infrastructure — we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including ensuring that recipients of data are subject to equivalent data protection commitments.

By using this Site, you consent to the transfer of your data as described in this Policy, subject to the protections described herein.

Depending on the applicable data protection law in your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights in respect of your personal data. 88ft will honour these rights to the fullest extent required by law:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 16. We will respond to verifiable data subject requests within 30 days. We will not charge a fee for reasonable requests; however, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a data subject request to ensure that we do not disclose personal data to an unauthorised party.

88ft does not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the age of 18. If we become aware that a person under 18 has provided personal data to us, we will take prompt steps to delete that data from our systems.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under 18 has accessed this Site or provided personal data to us, please contact us immediately at the address provided in Section 16 so that we can take appropriate action.

This Section 14 provides additional information relevant to users accessing the Site from Pakistan or who are Pakistani nationals.

Applicable Law: Pakistan's data protection landscape is evolving. The Personal Data Protection Bill (PDPB) has been under consideration in Pakistan, and users should be aware that applicable data protection obligations may develop. 88ft commits to reviewing and updating its privacy practices in light of any enacted legislation.

Payment Provider References: This Site references familiar Pakistani payment services — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — as educational context only. 88ft does not transmit any user data to these institutions and has no data-sharing relationship with them in connection with this Site. Their names appear as informational payment-rail references only, and their mention does not imply any endorsement of gambling or of this Site.

Gambling Legality: Online gambling may be restricted or prohibited in Pakistan under the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 and applicable provincial legislation. The information on this Site does not constitute legal advice and 88ft makes no representation as to the legality of gambling for Pakistani users. Users are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable local laws.

Data Transfer: If you access this Site from Pakistan, your technical data (including approximate IP-derived location) may be processed on servers outside Pakistan. By using this Site, you consent to such transfers for the purposes described in this Policy.

88ft reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. When material changes are made, we will update the Effective Date displayed at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically — particularly before submitting any personal data through the Site. Continued use of the Site following the posting of an updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

Where changes are particularly significant — for example, changes to how we share data with third parties — we may provide additional notice where practicable, such as through a prominent banner on the Site.

If you have any questions, concerns or requests in relation to this Privacy Policy — including requests to exercise your data subject rights — please contact the 88ft data team using the details below:

The email address above is displayed as plain text and is not a clickable link. Please copy it manually into your email client. For data subject requests, please include your name, a brief description of your request, and sufficient information to allow us to verify your identity.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in your jurisdiction if you believe that we have handled your personal data in violation of applicable law. In Pakistan, data protection oversight is evolving — users may wish to seek independent legal advice regarding applicable regulatory channels.
