All data transmitted between your device and ar998 is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. Sensitive documents submitted for KYC purposes are handled through secure channels only. Access to personal data within ar998 is restricted on a need-to-know basis with access controls enforced.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data. You may also object to processing or request data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

These Data Processors are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions and to maintain appropriate security standards. Categories of Data Processors we engage may include:
ar998 may disclose Personal Data to law enforcement authorities, courts or regulatory bodies where we are required to do so by applicable law, court order or binding regulatory direction. We will, where legally permitted, notify affected Users of any such disclosure.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset sale or restructuring involving ar998, Personal Data held by ar998 may be transferred to the successor entity as part of that transaction. Users will be notified in advance of any such transfer where reasonably practicable, and the successor entity will be required to honour this Policy.
ar998 retains Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal or regulatory obligations. The following general retention principles apply:
When Personal Data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our internal data disposal procedures.

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies or delete existing cookies. Note that disabling essential cookies may prevent certain Platform features from working correctly. For guidance on cookie management, consult your browser's help documentation.
ar998 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect Personal Data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration or unlawful disclosure. Specific measures include:
While ar998 takes reasonable precautions to protect Personal Data, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure. Users are responsible for keeping their own account credentials confidential and for notifying us promptly at [email protected] if they suspect any unauthorised access to their account.
The ar998 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 or above — or the higher minimum age required by the Operator or the applicable license jurisdiction. ar998 does not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18.
Where age verification (KYC) reveals that a User is under the minimum required age, any Personal Data provided during registration will be promptly deleted and the account will be closed. If a parent or guardian believes their child has provided Personal Data to ar998, they should contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can take appropriate remedial action.
Subject to applicable law and to certain conditions and exceptions, you may have the following rights in relation to your Personal Data held by ar998:
You have the right to request a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you, along with information about how it is being processed.
You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data we hold about you.
In certain circumstances, you may request deletion of your Personal Data. This right may be limited by legal obligations that require us to retain certain data (e.g., KYC records for anti-money laundering compliance).
You may request that we restrict the processing of your Personal Data in certain situations, such as when you contest its accuracy or object to its processing.
Where processing is based on consent or contract and is carried out by automated means, you may request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
You may object to the processing of your Personal Data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes (including profiling related to direct marketing).
Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us at [email protected] with "Data Rights Request" in the subject line. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe, typically no longer than 30 calendar days. We may need to verify your identity before processing a rights request to prevent unauthorised disclosure.
ar998 may transfer Personal Data to third-party Data Processors located in countries other than Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, we take steps to ensure that adequate data protection safeguards are in place — whether through contractual mechanisms (such as standard contractual clauses), adequacy decisions or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms.
By using the Platform and submitting Personal Data, you acknowledge that your data may be processed outside Pakistan. If you have concerns about international data transfers, please contact us at [email protected].
The ar998 Platform contains informational references to third-party betting Operators, payment providers (including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah) and sports organisations (including PSL, ICC and other cricket and sports bodies). These references are provided for informational context only.
ar998 is not responsible for the privacy practices, data collection policies or security standards of any third-party platform, Operator or payment provider. If you follow information on ar998 and subsequently register with or transmit data to a third-party Operator or payment service, that transaction is governed entirely by the third party's own privacy policy and terms of service. We strongly encourage you to review any third party's privacy policy before submitting Personal Data to them.
ar998 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, operational requirements or applicable legal obligations. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Reviewed" date at the top of this page. Where reasonably practicable and where the changes are material, we will notify registered Users by email or via a prominent on-Platform notice prior to the changes taking effect.
Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you must stop using the Platform and, if applicable, request deletion of your account.
For all privacy-related queries, data rights requests, or concerns about how your Personal Data is handled, please contact the ar998 team. All communications are handled in English. Urdu-language support may be available through selected channels — please check the Help Center for current availability.
We take all privacy concerns seriously. If you believe your data has been mishandled and our response is unsatisfactory, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate data protection supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.
