Privacy Policy – 288 Wine Pakistan Gaming Platform

1 Who We Are

288 Wine is an online entertainment platform providing sports betting, casino games, slots, live dealer tables and related services to registered adult players. The platform is accessible via the website at 288wine.app and through the dedicated mobile app available for download.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, "288 Wine", "we", "us" and "our" refer to the operators of the 288 Wine platform. "You" and "your" refer to any individual who visits, registers on or uses the platform in any capacity. This policy applies to all users regardless of whether they are registered account holders or casual visitors.

2 Data We Collect

We collect only the information that is necessary to provide the platform's services, maintain account security and comply with standard operational requirements. The categories of personal data we collect are as follows:

We do not collect sensitive categories of personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, biometric data or health information unless specifically required for a particular legal purpose and with your explicit consent.

3 How We Collect Your Data

Your personal data is collected through a number of channels as you interact with the 288 Wine platform:

• Registration: When you create your account, you provide your name, date of birth, contact number and email address directly.
• Identity verification: When you submit documents such as your CNIC for verification before your first withdrawal, that information is collected and stored securely.
• Deposits and withdrawals: Payment method details and transaction records are collected each time you make a financial transaction on the platform.
• Platform use: As you browse the site, play games, place bets or use app features, technical and usage data is collected automatically through standard server logs and analytics tools.
• Customer support: If you contact our support team via chat or email, the content of those conversations is logged for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
• Cookies: Small data files stored on your device when you visit the platform collect certain technical and behavioural data. See Section 6 for full details on our cookie usage.

4 Why We Use Your Data

Every piece of data we collect is used for a specific, legitimate purpose. We do not process your information for any reason that goes beyond what is described here:

• Account management: To create, maintain and secure your player account, including login authentication and account recovery.
• Identity verification: To confirm that you are who you say you are before processing withdrawals, as required by standard operational security practice.
• Payment processing: To process PKR deposits and withdrawals via your chosen method — JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer, cards or mobile wallets.
• Platform delivery: To provide you access to games, sports markets, live casino tables, promotions and all other platform features.
• Customer support: To respond to your queries, resolve disputes and provide assistance through all available support channels.
• Security and fraud prevention: To detect and investigate unusual account activity, multiple account usage, payment fraud and other prohibited behaviour as defined in our Terms and Conditions.
• Responsible gaming: To monitor gaming patterns and apply the responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, session reminders, self-exclusion — that you configure in your account settings.
• Promotions and communications: To send you relevant promotional offers, bonus notifications and platform updates where you have opted in to receive them.
• Platform improvement: To analyse usage patterns, identify technical issues and make informed decisions about product development and feature updates.

5 Payment Data & PKR Transactions

All financial transactions on 288 Wine are conducted in Pakistani Rupees (PKR). When you make a deposit or request a withdrawal using JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, a bank transfer or any other supported method, certain payment details are necessarily processed as part of that transaction.

Payment data is handled with particular care. We do not store full payment credentials such as complete bank account numbers or card numbers on our servers. Where such information is required for transaction processing, it is handled by our payment processing partners using industry-standard encryption and security protocols.

• Transaction records — amounts, timestamps, method type and status — are retained as part of your account history for dispute resolution and record-keeping purposes.
• Payment method details used for verification are stored only for as long as necessary to support your ongoing use of that method for deposits and withdrawals.
• Withdrawals are only processed to a payment method registered under the same name as your 288 Wine account, which means your payment data is cross-referenced with your identity data at the point of withdrawal.

6 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

288 Wine uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the platform work properly, to remember your preferences and to understand how users interact with the site. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website.

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Essential cookies: These are required for the platform to function. They include session management cookies that keep you logged in during a session and security tokens that protect your account. You cannot opt out of these without stopping use of the platform.
• Functional cookies: These remember your preferences such as language settings and display options so you do not have to reconfigure them on every visit.
• Analytics cookies: These collect anonymised data about how users navigate the platform — which pages are visited most, where users drop off in a flow, which features are used most frequently. This data is used to improve the platform.
• Marketing cookies: Where you have opted in to promotional communications, these cookies help us deliver relevant offers and track the effectiveness of promotional campaigns.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete specific types of cookies. Note that disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to use the platform properly. The platform does not use cookies to track your activity on other websites.

7 Sharing Your Data

288 Wine does not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for their own commercial purposes. Your data may be shared in the following limited and controlled circumstances only:

• Payment processors: Your payment method details and transaction data are shared with the relevant payment processing partners — such as those facilitating JazzCash and Easypaisa transactions — solely for the purpose of processing your deposits and withdrawals.
• Identity verification providers: Where third-party verification tools are used to confirm your identity documents, relevant data is shared with those providers for that specific purpose only.
• Technology and hosting partners: Service providers who support the operation of the platform — including cloud hosting, security monitoring and customer support tooling — may have access to data as part of their contracted role. They are bound by confidentiality obligations and may not use the data for any other purpose.
• Legal and compliance obligations: We may disclose personal data if required to do so by a valid legal process, court order or regulatory authority. In such cases, we disclose only what is legally required and no more.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition or transfer of the platform's operations, your data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. You will be notified if such a transfer occurs and your data handling practices change materially as a result.

8 Data Retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as it is needed to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by standard record-keeping obligations. The following general retention periods apply:

• Active account data: Retained for as long as your account remains open and active. This includes your identity, contact, payment and usage data.
• Transaction records: Deposit and withdrawal records, including amounts and timestamps, are retained for a minimum of five years from the date of the transaction to support dispute resolution and financial record-keeping.
• Identity verification documents: Retained for the period required to support your use of the platform and for a reasonable period after account closure to support any post-closure queries or disputes.
• Customer support records: Chat transcripts and support emails are retained for up to two years from the date of the interaction.
• Closed accounts: Following voluntary or enforced account closure, core account data is retained for a period of five years before being securely deleted or anonymised.

When data is no longer required and the applicable retention period has expired, it is securely deleted or rendered permanently anonymous so that it can no longer be linked to any individual.

9 Security Measures

The security of your personal data is a priority for 288 Wine. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure. These include:

• SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted in transit using current SSL/TLS standards.
• Access controls: Internal access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Platform staff can only access the data required to perform their specific role.
• Secure storage: Data is stored on secured servers with access logging and monitoring in place.
• Fraud detection systems: Automated systems monitor account activity for unusual patterns that may indicate unauthorised access or fraudulent behaviour.
• Regular security reviews: Security practices and infrastructure are reviewed and updated regularly to address emerging threats.

While we take all reasonable precautions, no system is entirely immune to security risks. You also play an important role in keeping your account secure — use a strong, unique password, do not share your credentials and contact support immediately if you suspect your account has been accessed without your knowledge.

10 Your Rights Over Your Data

As a user of the 288 Wine platform, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. These rights can be exercised by contacting the support team from within your account:

• Right to access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time. We will respond to such requests within a reasonable timeframe.
• Right to rectification: If any of the data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it. For certain data fields — such as your registered name — you may be asked to provide supporting documentation before the change is made.
• Right to erasure: You can request the deletion of your personal data. Note that some data may need to be retained for the minimum retention periods described in Section 8, particularly transaction records. Where deletion is not possible for legal or operational reasons, we will explain why.
• Right to restrict processing: You can ask us to pause the processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while a dispute is being resolved.
• Right to data portability: You can request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used format so that it can be transferred to another service if you choose.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent — for example, marketing communications — you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

11 Children's Privacy

The 288 Wine platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. Age is verified as part of the registration and identity verification process.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has created an account or provided personal data on the platform, please contact our support team immediately. Upon confirmation, we will close the account and delete all associated personal data without delay.

We take the protection of younger users seriously. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to register, use or access the platform in any way. For guidance on setting up parental controls on shared devices, please visit our Responsible Gaming page.

288 Wine may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, operational requirements or applicable standards. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision was made.

Where changes are significant, we will notify registered users through a notice on the platform or via the contact details associated with your account.
