Your privacy matters. This document explains exactly what personal data 288ven collects, why we collect it, how it is stored, who can access it and what rights you hold over your own information.
Data Promise: We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Your data is handled securely and only for the purposes described in this policy.
288ven is an English-language online betting information and entertainment platform serving users in Pakistan and other jurisdictions where the platform is accessible. We are committed to protecting your personal data and handling it in a transparent, fair and lawful manner.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data processed by 288ven in connection with your use of the Platform, including information collected when you register an account, complete identity verification (KYC), interact with our content, contact our support team or browse the site as an anonymous visitor.
This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and our Responsible Gambling guidelines, each of which forms part of your agreement with 288ven. Defined terms used in this Policy have the same meaning as in the Terms & Conditions unless otherwise stated.
If you have any questions about how your personal data is handled, you may contact our Privacy team at any time — see Section 15 (Contact Us) for details.
The following definitions apply throughout this Privacy Policy:
288ven collects the following categories of personal data, depending on how you interact with the Platform:
| Category | Examples | When Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, CNIC number, passport number, selfie/liveness check images | During account registration and KYC verification |
| Contact Data | Email address, residential address (city, province, Pakistan postal code) | During account registration or support enquiries |
| Account Credentials | Username, encrypted password hash, account security settings | During account creation and subsequent logins |
| Financial Data | Payment method type, transaction reference numbers, PKR deposit/withdrawal amounts | When you initiate deposits or withdrawal requests |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, screen resolution, time zone | Automatically when you access the Platform |
| Usage Data | Pages visited, links clicked, session duration, referral source, search terms used on Platform | Automatically via cookies and analytics tools |
| Communication Data | Content of emails or live chat messages sent to our support team | When you contact 288ven directly |
| Responsible Gambling Data | Self-exclusion requests, deposit/loss limit settings, problem gambling disclosures | When you use responsible gambling tools or make disclosures to support |
We collect personal data through the following channels:
Data you provide voluntarily when registering an account, completing identity verification (KYC), submitting a support enquiry, or communicating with 288ven via email or live chat. This includes data entered in our registration and account forms.
Data collected automatically when you access the Platform, including your IP address, device identifiers, browser fingerprint, session timestamps and navigation path. This data is collected via server logs, cookies and analytics tools.
In limited circumstances, we may receive data from third-party KYC verification partners (to validate the accuracy of identity documents), fraud prevention services, or analytics providers. We only accept data from reputable sources operating under appropriate data processing agreements.
When you initiate a deposit or withdrawal, basic transaction reference data is shared between the Platform and the relevant payment processor. We do not store full card numbers or complete mobile wallet credentials on our servers. Pakistani payment rails such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah may generate transaction references that are logged for verification and reconciliation purposes — their mention here is contextual only and implies no endorsement of gambling.
288ven processes personal data on the following legal grounds, which vary depending on the purpose and category of data involved:
We use your personal data only for the specific purposes set out below. We will not use your data for purposes incompatible with those for which it was originally collected without providing you with prior notice and, where required, obtaining fresh consent.
Creating, maintaining and securing your account; processing login sessions; enforcing the one-account-per-user rule; sending essential account notifications.
Verifying your identity and age in compliance with operator requirements and AML controls. CNIC, passport and selfie data are used exclusively for this purpose.
Logging transaction references, processing deposit confirmations and withdrawal requests, and reconciling payment records. PKR figures are logged for account statement accuracy.
Detecting and preventing unauthorised account access, fraudulent transactions, bonus abuse, money laundering and other activities that breach our Terms or applicable law.
Responding to enquiries, resolving disputes and providing technical assistance. Support communications may be logged for quality assurance and training purposes.
Analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve Platform performance, content quality, mobile responsiveness and the overall user experience for Pakistani users.
We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients:
288ven retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal and regulatory retention obligations, and to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements. The following general retention periods apply:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account & Identity Data | Duration of account plus 5 years post-closure | AML compliance, legal obligation, dispute resolution |
| KYC Documents (CNIC/Passport) | Duration of account plus 5 years post-closure | Regulatory and AML retention requirements |
| Financial Transaction Records | 7 years from the date of transaction | Financial record-keeping obligations |
| Support Communication Logs | 3 years from the date of communication | Quality assurance, dispute resolution |
| Technical & Usage Data | Up to 26 months (rolling) | Analytics, security, fraud prevention |
| Cookie & Tracking Data | Session cookies expire on browser close; persistent cookies per individual cookie policy | Technical functionality, analytics consent |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data will be securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Where data has been anonymised, it may be retained indefinitely as it no longer constitutes personal data.
288ven implements and maintains appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure. Our security measures include, but are not limited to:
All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected by TLS/SSL encryption. You should always verify that the padlock icon is visible in your browser's address bar.
Sensitive data, including passwords (stored as hashed values only) and identity documents, is stored with enhanced encryption at rest in secured data centres.
Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis. All staff with data access are subject to confidentiality obligations and regular security training.
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users in a timely manner and take immediate remedial action.
Your Responsibility: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account login credentials. Never share your password with any third party. Always use the Platform's secure HTTPS portal to upload KYC documents — never send sensitive documents via unsecured email or chat.
288ven uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the proper functioning of the Platform, remember your preferences and analyse usage patterns. The following types of cookies may be set when you visit the Platform:
Required for the Platform to function correctly. These include session management cookies, security tokens and authentication cookies. These cannot be disabled without affecting core Platform functionality. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies under applicable data protection law.
Remember your display preferences, language settings and time zone (Pakistan Standard Time) to provide a more personalised browsing experience. These are set with your consent where required.
Aggregate and anonymised cookies that help us understand how users navigate the Platform — which pages are most visited, session duration, device types and referral sources. This data informs content improvements for our Pakistani user base. Analytics cookies require your consent.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform. For more information on how to manage cookies in common browsers, refer to your browser's help documentation.
Subject to applicable law and certain limited exceptions, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by 288ven. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Privacy team (see Section 15).

Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. You may update basic account information directly through your account settings.
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary, consent has been withdrawn, or you object to processing. Subject to legal retention obligations.
Request that we limit processing of your data while a dispute is outstanding or while you await rectification of inaccurate data.
Request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format where processing is based on your consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means.
Object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
We will respond to all valid rights requests within 30 calendar days of receipt. In complex cases we may extend this period by a further 30 days with prior notice. We reserve the right to verify your identity before actioning any rights request. Exercising your rights is free of charge unless requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that a minor has created an account on the Platform or has submitted personal data to us without your consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will take prompt action to investigate and, where confirmed, delete any data collected from a minor and close the associated account.
Parents and guardians in Pakistan are encouraged to install parental control software on shared devices to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms and related content. Age verification is enforced through the KYC process, but parental supervision remains an important additional safeguard.
288ven operates globally and your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Pakistan — including countries where data protection laws may differ from those applicable in Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal data receives an equivalent level of protection, including:
You may request information about the specific safeguards applied to any international transfer of your personal data by contacting our Privacy team.

Six key privacy principles that guide how 288ven handles your personal information every day.
Your personal data is never sold, rented or traded to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. Data sharing is strictly limited to service providers acting under contractual data processing agreements.
All data in transit is protected by HTTPS/TLS encryption. Passwords are stored as hashed values only. Identity documents are encrypted at rest with enhanced security protocols.
We hold your data only for as long as legally necessary and operationally required. Retention periods are defined per data category and data is securely deleted or anonymised when those periods expire.
You have meaningful rights over your data — access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction and objection. We respond to all valid rights requests within 30 days, free of charge.
Your CNIC, passport and selfie images are used exclusively for identity and age verification. This data is never used for marketing, profiling or shared beyond KYC verification partners.
